Reinvigorate ASF as a stock forum

[Miner]

In my own case I'm somewhat absent from ASF due to some sudden family issues (parent - medical issues...... ) but I'll be back with the promised comments on my "big picture" approach to investing before too long.

Dear Smurf1976- travel safe on family journey and look forward your happy return to ASF

I'm guessing my liking all the Stock Forum posters is becoming a bit disruptive and annoying, so in the words of Jeff Fenech I'll just say "I luv youse all"

You guessed in correctly.
I like is a recognition that someone
has received some value from the post.

That I'm guessing is what most of us
like to see/want to achieve.

….. I reckon @Darc Knight that the intent behind doing that was admirable and I'm going to give your post above a "like" to reflect that

People obviously don't post to get "likes" but a bit of well intentioned encouragement creates a positive vibe and a positive vibe will certainly help @Joe Blow get things back on an even keel, so well done DK

 

[Darc Knight]

Liking all the Stock posts is actually a good way to learn. It forces you to read, or at least skim read the posts. So thanks!

Must say its great to see some new guys and some of the
lets say more entrenched members posting more.
Miner,Barney,Greggles,Hawks,Ann,Barny,Duc,Sir Rumpy etal.

Im seeing a community evolving.

Vote (1) Duck for Mayor!

Liking a post doesn't necessarily mean that you agree with the content, but you appreciate the poster taking the time to post at all.

So good on everyone who does take the time to support the forum.

Sad to see a slow down of stock thread posts. I now things like global warming are important but I'd hate to see this Forum go the way of the Dodo.

It's hard to suggest upside stock info, when the market could take a huge dive at any moment.
I personally would feel bad recommending anything, even though I have a few thoughts.
The chat on global warming, is only filler, untill the market gives a clear indication of direction. IMO

What we really need is an ETF that tracks the temps. Something like ASX:HOT

Then all those charts can be analysed more accurately

 

[Darc Knight]

Don't get me wrong, I like @basilio and @Ann and do think Bas does a good job addressing some social issues which haven't got their own voice, and Ann is a great contributor, it's just I think this is a very good Forum (and Joe a very good Admin) and it would be a terrible shame for it to collapse due to a lack of stock posts. If only I was half as smart as you guys and could contribute more - still got my training wheels on.

 

[Knobby22]

It's dangerous to buy now.
Also little news. So comments are down.

Well DK, you won't be hearing from me for a while except maybe some art. I have a fairly bad case of concussion after tripping and hitting my face against a wall at work yesterday in front of all the other managers YAY! Faceplant Annie. Warning folks don't, walk upstairs with your hands in your pockets. With concussion it appears one is not allowed to think! (? Sure, I will just stop thinking for a while, you try it folks). Also no reading or TV or computers. However it doesn't matter I have solved the mystery of all this Global Warming bullsh!t so no need to think any more about that. I will let you all into the cause on my return. Just a little teaser.....my next poster will read 'Vegetarians cause Global Warming!"

Geez I do have a serious case of concussion not picking up this priceless line from DK!

Thanks for the comments Darc.

Unfortunately I think it is far harder to continue to make worthwhile analysis of shares and stock market directions than just go back and forth on Religion, Terrorists, House prices and Global warming. After one has brought up particular stock prospects what else can you meaningfully say ?

If people do start to just rabbit on about particular stocks it is usually a sign of ramping or poor judgement. Check out Hot Copper as an example. As SP and Knobby point out the stock market is in a very uneasy place at the moment. There is far more downside risk than upside and if the market does take a dive it is almost certain everything will go down - even allegedly quality shares. Maybe the most valuable discussion could be along the lines of how defensive one should go with their investments.

Well that's tough Ann ! Take care of yourself with the concussion. I think it is a much underrated injury.

And yes. I will be waiting with baited (sic) breath to see your analyis behind "Vegetarians cause Global Warming "
Cheers

I've given up on the globe so I enjoy the droughts, make great Biker weather.
Ooops. I'm not into the non stock or economic related posts. Oh, but everything relates to economics even the environment. I also found some love for Mark Latham! Go One Nation!!
Market seems to be ready for a run into Christmas, it always seems to happen when everyone has given up.

Yea, imagine Mark Latham in Parliament again. what a nasty piece of work.
He will go down as one of the largest rats in Labor history equalled only by Billy Hughes and they will hate him every day he is back. only NSW parliament though.
