To all the traders out there, just wondering what your universe of stocks is that u scan through to identify opportunities?

*asx200? asx300?
*above/below a particular dollar value?
*stocks that you know are fundamentally sound?

Id be interested to hear your thoughts
 
Generally i identify potential problems that society will face in the near future and then invest in the industries best suited to tackling these problems. I Like smaller cap stocks with good growth potential but they need to be stable and not too speculative. Ones that are just off the fund managers radar.
 
when I was trading options, my list was-

XJO,AMP,ANZ,BHP,CBA,CML,LHG,NAB,OSH,QBE,RIO,WBC,WOW,WPL,ZFX.

Currently it's the SPI and the Nikkei. And I'm slowly getting to know the Hang Seng, Kospi and STW, but not trading them yet.
 
How do you know or quantify that?

I don't for sure but try to picks stocks that i think have good potential of eventually having stable, growing and steady returns. Need to look at ecconomic conditions of the sector and the health of the company longer term and generally you can make assumptions about where it is heading. Once they make it into the asx top 300 i would consider them to be potential targets of the fund managers. Its definately not a fool proof strategy but its worked for me.
 
Everything (in terms of stocks). I do it fulltime though and acknowledge that this may not be practical for some people.

Just the four big banks plus BHP/RIO/WPL/WOW.

I find I'm better at farming stocks than picking them. Must be my rural upbringing.

Anything that moves up on good volume with no announcement at the moment. I like trading breakouts, and only hold for a couple of days generally but its all dependent on how much time i have. If no time, then i invest in materials, energy stocks.
 
Probably goes without saying.
Our Universe is:
'Trading the SPI'
& Buying Real Estate.

Battman,

Did you read the question?

Just in case:

 
The main thing I find is consistency - I take the signal and trade the system rather than sit on the sidelines waiting for what I think is going to be a better signal.

1. I scan the All Ords stocks, but very occasionally look at the whole market if I really want a little more choice. The main thing is the turnover has to be sufficient. I stick to what I know - stocks.
2. I have no dollar value limits only turnover limits.
3. I glance at fundamentals if I have too many choices but often buy companies that have never made a profit.

I also keep an eye on what sectors I am trading, although I was over 60% resources earlier this year. What else can you do when they are running so hot? Resources are around 20% of the portfolio now (energy and materials) with Information technology and financials taking the running.

Well the "puddle" has done alright for itself for the last few years

But I certainly have choice... a bewildering amount choice at times LOL
 
Does anybody know how long the "ASX"-style indices have been around for?
eg. ASX100, ASX200, ASX300 ??

Were they around in the 1980s?

What indices were around in the 1980s that are still around today?

THanks.
