Had to bite the bullet and sell most of my open positions. Sold 1/2 of BRU to lock in profits. Will re-evaluate once this volatility settles down.

@aus_trader Good work on the sell. I know it's tough to do but you knew it had to be done. Most of your edge in this type of trading is due to the money management.

Thank you Peter, yes just have to bite the bullet in this type of volatile market conditions. Also sold BRU so there is very little exposure to the market in my portfolio now.

The last remaining stock was sold today, so gone into cash for the time being...

Last stock was Hills Ltd (HIL) which initially went up after buying, but has slowly come down while trying to hold ground like a good old hills hoist clothesline amongst all the market headwinds.

I just read your thread and am interested what the aim of it is?
Is it to log your trading like a journal ?
or seek some guidance
or even just get stock tips ?

Hi willoneau,
Been busy with other things and work. Yes keeping a journo mainly. Also improve by learning from others to get better performance.

Not sure if it's safe to go back into the water but the volatility in the market seems to have settled down a bit.

When I was looking at businesses with farm/agriculture/fresh produce exposure, I came across Dongfang Modern Agriculture Hldg Gp Ltd (DFM), but didn't consider it as it was a business in China. Well I changed my mind when it announced it was buying into an Aussie health supplements business on Monday:



So I've purchased some shares in it.

Energy prices (Oil/Gas) have been rising and I can feel it at the fuel station when I go to fill up the car. So have been looking into a few stocks in the oil/gas sector...

Researched a few and although they stack up well, prices have run up hard recently. So I went back to a stock that was in this portfolio a little while ago that got knocked out (i.e. I sold it) due to the market volatility earlier in the year. It's a gas stock that I'm able to buy at a lower price and has the same story to go with it i.e. to supply gas to the predicted East coast gas shortage in the coming years. So I went ahead and placed an order to buy Blue Energy Limited (BUL), which got filled at the last hour before market closed.

I bought some BUL today and yesterday as well @ .125.. Good Luck

Thanks mate, energy related stocks are doing OK at the moment, so let's see how BUL goes... Some even getting taken over like Santos Ltd (STO).

Also added another stock to this portfolio. It's in the renewable energy space, more specifically into wind farms. Yes it's in one of those sectors which hardly anyone wants to touch with all the negative press about renewable projects being unprofitable etc. But I think this one is different because it actually made a profit (see financial snapshot below) and I think it's business model is also interesting. Company is Windlab Ltd (WND) and it gets involved in wind energy projects from the start with Joint Ventures and partnerships and once developed holds a percentage of the project as a part owner and in some cases it is the operator of the wind farm.

Shine Corporate Ltd (SHJ) bought today and is back in the portfolio. It was removed from and earlier buy due to a possible class action that was taken. Long time has passed and nothing negative has happened and any effect/payout may be minimal and Shine will fight to defend itself I think.

Also SHJ is going along nicely with it's integration of acquisitions which are contributing to the bottom line. Profits and dividends have increased according to it's last report as well.

Added a garbage stock to the longer term portfolio also to fit in with Australia's waste and recycling crisis, will update that portfolio later today...

Open:

Bubs Australia Ltd (BUB) is having a good news flow of distribution deals with China, so it was bought back into the portfolio.

 

[aus_trader]

Capitol Health Ltd (CAJ) is showing signs of price potentially breaking out higher. So I decided to buy it back after selling it (in the longer term portfolio) during the long drawn sideways consolidation phase. It has delivered on it's promise to pay a dividend and that may continue if profits are consistent or growing...



Also decided to sell Dongfang Modern Agriculture Hldg Gp Ltd (DFM) as it is struggling to head higher. I will monitor it to see if there is price strength since this story may have further to go...

Oil price is slightly up from the sustained downtrend from $70's to mid $60's. Stocks like Woodside Petroleum Limited (WPL) and one of my previous stocks that was in this portfolio Beach Energy Ltd (BPT) is up. However Blue Energy Limited (BUL) is down 9%. Not sure why this stock is going in the opposite direction and if I have a stomach to see any further declines... Thought about selling but will check tomorrow...

 

[aus_trader]

With Oil price slide continuing, I got out of Blue Energy Limited(BUL) this morning.



Bought a stock that I had in this portfolio previously. It has changed it's name and code but still the same story. Use to be ZipMoney Ltd(ZML), now changed to Zip Co Ltd(Z1P). Some good partnerships with Aussie retailers such as Super Retail Grp and Officeworks announced recently...



Also I have seen Zip payment services offered right alongside one of it's bigger rivals Afterpay Touch Group Ltd(APT) for online merchants, as below:

After 2 years of flat share price movement, one of Australia's favourite home-builder's Simonds Group Ltd (SIO) seems to be coming back to life. There seems to be a few things going for it:

- Went back to profitability from a -ve profit the previous year
- New CEO seems to be driving growth
- Reduced debt on it's books

Hello, fairly new to this forum so excuse the question if already been asked previously, but judging by your spreadsheet snapshots you are buying relatively small parcels in $ amounts, doesn't this cause brokerage to have a huge cost effect for you % wise?

Cheers

First of all Welcome boydie

Yes it does. It's a speculative portfolio, so not going to put big positions on these at the moment, maybe once I have big funds available I will increase position size in this portfolio.

I do have slightly bigger position sizing in my medium/longer term portfolio.

Unfortunately Shine Corporate Ltd (SHJ) leaves the portfolio. I got spooked by the spike down on Thursday's price action, so sold on Friday.
