Ahoy Brave and Loyal Crew

Probably the FIRST lesson we learn in Sailing is to CUT LOOSE any Dragging Wet Sail
Crikey! It slows you down HORRIBLY
Let's face it
Forget about all the prize monies lost
How many WET Sails can any ship drag BEFORE she finaly surrenders to the Seas?

Every Share market Index CUTS LOOSE their weakest performing Sails in a very regular time frames each year
Every Football Club Cuts its worst Player/s each year to strengthen their list

All Sports Clubs Cull their Own to Improve The Quality of Their Club/Organization

However, In "The Greatest Sport of Them All "
MOST Landlubbers are Brainwashed, Educated and heavily Enticed to to hold onto their ONCE Quality Stocks as they watch them get Demoted from say the Top20 to the Top100 and Then to the Top 200 etc etc and then sometimes to even LOST at SEA

This would not happen in any Great Sport or Bussiness but it does happen here on the Global Exchanges all over the World
Go figure!

Let's do an Ocean Trial in "Sailing the Magnificent 7 " next and see how she goes

Ahoy Brave and Loyal Crew--
Thid is not a bad account of this Day at sea on the ASX (Stockhead)

• ASX200 rises, then falls, and then rises again like the heaving bosom of a bodice-ripper heroine
• Most sectors finish in the red, but Materials, Real Estate and Utilities build gains
• Small cap leaders include Harvest Tech, flying high on selling spy tech to God-knows-who

The benchmark XJO index has eked out a hard-won gain for the day, after surging early then admitting it just wasn’t strong enough to defend itself from the onslaught of rumours that someone, somewhere, might have to pay more tax in the back end of this year.

At 4.15pm on 24 Jan, the S&P/ASX200 was ahead 3.6 points or 0.05% to 7,518.5



Chart via Marketindex.com.au


It’s been an old school Donny Brook on the ASX today. We’re back in the green by about 0.09% at 3.30pm, but they’re not just giving these gains away.

The local IT Sector isn’t playing by the rules after the Nasdaq continued its winning ways on Tuesday in New York.

Tech weighed down the local market, which cut back strong morning gains and edged into the red after lunch.

Punching for the good guys was the Materials sector, which gained over 1.5%, while Energy, Utilities and the REITs (real estate investment trusts) were the only other sectors in the green.

First up, Kogan (ASX:KGN) is laughing all the way to the cost of living crisis, with the stock up over 16% at 2pm after delivering decent beats on both gross profits and revenue for the six months to December.

Kogan also won a fine self-competition on gross margin which soared on the back of more Platform-based sales, up to 63% of gross sales as well as better profitability of in-warehouse inventory sales.

Adjusted EBITDA of $21.5 million in 1H24, representing a 38.3% beat of the consensus $15.5m estimate.

But so far it’s been all about the diggers.

Lithium miner Pilbara Minerals (ASXLS) has found a lazy 6% and gold miner Northern Star Resources (ASX:NST) about 5%, both rallied goodly after decent quarterly updates.

Pilbara says December quarter revenue was down by almost half on the previous three months despite a pick up in production.

Northern Star Resources, meanwhile, confirmed it’s on track to hit fiscal 2024 guidance, thanks to an “exceptional” performance at its Kalgoorlie operations.
