I don't know much about the financials of the company but it's always good to hear first hand observations of how businesses are going.i passed thru the star tonight (working) and jeez it was quiet for a Friday night 9pm.
Star got big hammering with media report - is it the beginning of another Royal Commission like CWN with zero outcome excepting holes of the investors ??
Put a buy order at 3.3 thinking it will never happen and just bought.I think what's reported and media speculation would not have caused such a sell off normally.
I think in the current environment, given Star has Asian exposure the selloff probably was a bit exacerbated.
I was thinking exactly the same thing when I bought, and won't give it much more room before I get out of it.Price falls 23% after media programme alleges criminal activity and you "desperates" buy it.
You'll get better odds gambling inside the casino.
I think @peter2 might be on the right track on this one...
Given the nature of the announcement (below) and the company's Asian casino exposure it may be higher risk play than the 'run of the mill' type of "buy the dip" trades that we participate in when the market conditions are favourable.
Thanks, @aus_trader, @peter2 for your candid and transparent opinion. I felt stupid to be greedy to gamble (ironically my astrological forecast did say, not to step into any transaction today out of greed).
Good morning TeamThanks, @aus_trader, @peter2 for your candid and transparent opinion. I felt stupid to be greedy to gamble (ironically my astrological forecast did say, not to step into any transaction today out of greed).
Hoping there will be time to sell off today's purchase (BT A/c does not allow sell immediately until the money comes into their account) with a minimum loss.
Noticed @KevinBB also got trapped like me. $213 M worth shares transacted and a fine print at the top of Commsec listing which is not just the press report but as @aus_trader mentioned - economy crisis in China and effect of Evergrande fear.

I'm out now, too. I need to stop these spec purchases, and just work with the system.just bought a little bit as a speculative purchase.
@KevinBB - looks like now two gambling partners paid their prices to gamble on a gambling company SGR and learnt enough for goodI'm out now, too. I need to stop these spec purchases, and just work with the system.

Good on you guys, it kept on falling today, so a penny saved from further downside is a penny earnt@KevinBB - looks like now two gambling partners paid their prices to gamble on a gambling company SGR and learnt enough for good.
The loss on this stock I would take as price for learning
Honestly feeling very stress free.
@aus_trader and @peter2Good on you guys, it kept on falling today, so a penny saved from further downside is a penny earnt
Good on ya @KevinBB , we all do some of these one off purchases hoping to make a quick buck. But what I found was if you take the outcome over large sample of trades, then there is a -ve outcome i.e. an overall lossHi @Miner and @aus_trader
I bought SGR for a quick bounce, and when that bounce didn't happen, there was no longer a reason for holding.
Some time ago I stopped these one-off purchases, and have been just holding IOZ in the ASX market, and concentrating on other systematic investments (futures). It looks like I'll have to get a good ASX system going to keep me on the straight and narrow.
