"Trading on the Australian Stock Exchange has been delayed 30 minutes this morning, pending an announcement from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission."

What are they going to say now?

Market open delayed

The ASX market opening has been delayed beyond the 10:30 start.
 
Re: XAO Analysis

How come when the markets rose high in the US on Friday, I had a feeling that it wouldn't translate.

Does anyone know what's going on ? Any announcements anything ?

Might head down to Star City instead.:D

What's scary is, I'm not even sure if this is intended as a joke or not, and what's even WORSE than that, is it actually did happen!

Unbelievable, now I've seen everything!
 
Re: XAO Analysis

Well now when the market will start it will cause panic, so long for a green day. Also ASX ( or in my case IB) is not acknowledging my stock order. Well a classic case of Murphy's Law ..

that, along with US futures might make it a red day (can we still short with CFD's?)
 
Re: XAO Analysis

Perhaps ASF should band together and try and sue ASIC or the ASX for 'lost income' and 'hardship'

Take all the gun traders here average daily earnings and say that this 1 hr lost cost $X amount equates to a total of X dollars, plus compo for hardship ;)

Who's up for it? :cool:

Yep, ASIC got their lead from the Russians who tried it last week for 48 hours to stave off total market failure and opened after the US solution was announced. Quite fortunate for them really wasn't it as they couldn't have closed the doors for much longer could they? Although anything is possible isn't it?:cautious::rolleyes:
 
Re: XAO Analysis

Just got sent this from a friend... perhaps it is wise advice?

If you had purchased $1,000 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. With Enron, you would have $16.50 left of the original $1,000.
With WorldCom, you would have less than $5 left. If you had purchased $1,000 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have $49 left. If you had purchased United Airlines, you would have nothing left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for aluminium recycling, you would have $214.

Based on the above, the best current investment strategy is to drink heavily, and recycle.

I think you might be right TH, it looks like we'll get a buying frenzy when the market does finally open, but then I think we'll see a fair bit of selling especially if people not being able to hedge plays true.

Dow futures are also down over 100 atm (long way till open though)
