Your day in the Market - Market Commentary

[Kimosabi]

I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread where we can discuss how our day has been in the market. ie our wins/losses etc, and maybe blow a bit of steam.

This morning I was so much red, I thought I was swimming in the Red Sea .

But by lunch time I starting to a bit of black come across my stocks so I'm a little happier .

 

[marklar]

Mostly green, one red, some blue (sideways). I have a strange portfolio, it tends to move opposite to the Index most days.

I'm just happy BPO, HLX, and YML are doing ok.

What the hell are you guys talking about? It's been a fantastic day.

My main hodings right now are in AOE, LHG and VRE with a smaller holding in ESG which is at record highs and looking like it may be a t/o target. So, nett, I am up for the day.

These are the days where you get your eye on quality stocks. If they are sitting at value already, they wont go down as much. And will be the first to recover.

 

[CanOz]

I'm sidelined still. Too much work and not enough time to plan trades.

I still watch the indexs though.

Cheers,

I had a fantastic day two days ago, I thought I was flying to the moon, should have sold everything then and bought in again this morning

 

[erictjie]

Correction overdue. If tommorrow down again there will be panick sellers.
I clean up my portfolio today.
I think you should take your losses today and never too late to get in tommorrow if the market recovers.
But I think it is going to a free fall.

But if things aren't even near your get out points, then why should one sell?

If they start to tank, I will get out. However, my stocks have and continue to look very strong.

This is the best time to be looking at and picking new entries. Look at the stocks that are steady and or going up... and find out WHY!

But panic everybody. The world is coming to an end! My stocks are directly related to US sub prime!!! ARGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!

Well I had the best day yet since starting to trade... SLA was up a nice 8.6% which paid some good returns.... VPE also up did well for me giving me a nice break from the red... into the green and still going...

I hope tomorrow is as good to me as today !

 

[surfingman]

My day finished nicely only hold 2 different shares at the moment OEL up 8.7% and ADI still patiently waiting.....

 

[constable]

the only excitement i had was watching some buy depth appear on rtl.
went to the movies and watched 300..(wait for the dvd imo).
apart from that 2 losing trades and 1 win (negligible really) .

 

[Boyou]

HYO,which,I think most here describe as a Dog is still in its kennel.Sob Sob




Cheers Ya'll

 

[BIG BWACULL]

DOH!!!

 

[nizar]

Down for the day.
But im not going to sell everything because i think theres gonna be a correction.

Corrections come when people LEAST expect them.
Most of my holdings a long way above their stop/exit.

And im still buying JRL/EME looked the goods today i liked the way they bounced.

hahaha, everything will melt down related to sub-prime, but there's still money to made in the mean-time.

I'm waiting for a Private Equity accident next. Maybe even the US defaulting on a loan repayment, wouldn't that put a cat amongst the pigeons.

What happens if the printing presses break down and they can't print anymore money?

I've got a bit of money in the market to play with but the bulk is still out for the moment.

 

[Preppy]

The bears aren't dancing - they're running from the bulls...

I'm a newbie at this and I've tried to get a mixed portfolio like my share investing for beginners book recommends. I finished with some up and others down today. Would have been nice to have them all up but hey - tomorrow's another day!

 

[2020hindsight]

How was today? - ahh just bludy fantastic lol. like, I'm busy filling up the spa with champagne right now as I type (not) lol - down about 3% on portfolio overall.

Trying to pick which of these is most relevant :-

Fluctuat nec mergitur
Translation: "Shaken by the waves, but it will not sink" (inscription on Paris' coat of arms).

Forsan et hæc olim meminisse iuvabit
Translation: "Perhaps even this will one day be pleasant to look back on" from Virgil's Æneid, possibly a translation from Æsop.

Fortasse erit, fortasse non erit
Translation: "Maybe it will be, maybe it will not"

Fortes fortuna iuvat
Translation: "Fortune favors the strong." (cf. Audaces fortuna iuvat.) (Terence)

Fortis cadere, cedere non potest
Translation: "A brave man may fall, but he cannot yield."

Fortuna est cæca
Translation: "Fortune is blind." (Cicero)

Think I like the last one - just go out and get blind

Oh yes. My stocks that have exposure purely domestically will tank without a doubt.

I'm waiting for a Private Equity accident next. Maybe even the US defaulting on a loan repayment, wouldn't that put a cat amongst the pigeons.

Probably not. The IMF is run by the US. The money markets are structured in a way where this wont happen.

What happens if the printing presses break down and they can't print anymore money?

Gold will go up and I'll start selling my 20c coins for 25.

I've got a bit of money in the market to play with but the bulk is still out for the moment.

But you can't see any opportunities for that money?

The reality is, if the market tanks, I'll probably only lose a month worth of gains. At the moment, my stocks are defensively targeted. I bet the only people packing themselves are those with a lot of U stocks.

No financials, no retail and no property stocks. My portfolio right now is all domestically oriented, or non volatile.

If you are that keen on a crash, why not buy physical gold and silver? It'll perform better than cash.

m.

YML -7.7%, are you happy about it? I do not get it.

I am happy to know that everybody doing very well here. I hope only the best for all of you.
I used to be a stockbroker specialising emerging markets and have ride many boom and bust in my life, but it looks the ball is rolling bigger n bigger. There are alot of money out there hungry to be invested, but alot of people don't know what to do/ invest.
You can say the mining boom this time is for real (Uranium). it looks to me no different like during tech boom or whatever boom we have before. By the end of the day you have to come down to reality that what is real or what is not.
During tech boom I made $7 figures on papers but lost $200k when it bust. The lesson is get out when you are on high. This uranium cylce will end this year if not very very soon. I am not comfortable with the look of AUD$ and PEAK commodity prices. Inflation is on the rise.
China sharemarket has double the past 4 months but the chinese gov know it is not sustainable, because so much money try to invest in china (speculation). I will see big correction this year in china for sure, the last minor correction is nothing. I hope before that time you guys have your money parked in the bank.
cheer
invest smartly
