toothfairy said:John,
thanks for your reply, it is helpful to know that can't be helped anyway. Do you think the LME or Kitco price has more bearing on the Zfx SP? May be at the end of the day (or a few days) they catch up or down with each other anyway. We can get the LME price updated @ 8:00am next morning on the Zfx website, what's the earliest time they post it on Basemetal?
I am bracing myself for a 4-5% drop in Zfx price tomorrow morning. I have a large holding (bought average $11.00) but managed only to sell 1/3 @ 16.10. Rederob seems to say it will be alright in a few months.
Good luck, cheerrs.
tf,
More bearing - I would say LME as most professional and insto get the live LME data, so they know the score. But certainly for us smaller investors/traders kitco becomes the benchmark. What I do is try to confirm the kitco price thru several other sources, namely my broker publishes a daily bulletin just before opens and this has Zinc prices and also commsec has a site where they do a daily commodities report which is published quite early. I also watch bloomberg TV as they put up the LME 3 mth fwd prices, every half-an-hour. So if you have foxtel , you can get it there live, but only every 30 mins or so.
Earliest time basemetals puts up proper LME prices is around 2.00pm ESST.
Yes I think ZFX could come under some selling pressure in the morning. I too have a large holding in ZFX (20K) brought in June, so i'm going backwards at this stage, but not really worried as I am in for long haul to reap the divvys in the next yr or so.
Cheers & good luck
