That's a hellz yeah as far as I'm concerned.sneaky hands wrote:haha, grats
im back where i was just before the correction. its been a wild few months though.
reckon we're in for much more volatility this year?
Australian debt is skyrocketing at rates that are reminiscent of the pre-crash 80s.
Helloooo recession in not-too-distant future; both in the States and also here.
I wanted to be a hero. I wanted to be the center of attention. I wanted the glory, I wanted the fame. I wanted the pretty girls to come up and say, "Hi, I see that you're good at Centipede."
lol, yeah I'm back in the green finally as well. still a bit nervous though lol. ah well its not like I've got my house riding on it. mainly because I don't own a house.
looking forward to some good announcements on Monday though.
someone may or may not be able to answer this one, its for anyone who follows the market forums closely, whats your opinion on t4p? genuine knowledge sharer or very very clever ramper? I'm still undecided, haven't been following his (or her) movements closely enough for long enough to decide.

ASX down 1.92% today. Not bad considering DOW down 2.64% Friday.huge wrote:in for a nasty one today
Always amazes me how NY want to do equity and fx trades late Friday
in very illiquid markets.
Credit issues in Europe tonight sees the Euro down 2 cents at 21:30
Aussie tracked the Euro down 1.5 cents, but now rallying nicely with some good support levels at .8800 and .8850.
Thanks

I was thinking about giving this a bash next month, thought a few of of you might be interested too.
Looks like a decent way to have a bit of fun, no risk & support a charity at the same time.
I don't know if this has already been mentioned here previously..

Take the Adam Gilchrist Challenge for arthritis
Aussie sports legend, Adam Gilchrist is challenging the nation to step up to the stock market pitch in support of a serious cause that affects more than 3.4 million Australians - arthritis.
You can enter the Adam Gilchrist Challenge by logging on to http://www.tradingchallenge.com.au/ – registrations close on Wednesday 31 October.
The game starts on Monday 5 November and finishes on Friday 30 November.
Players pay $49.95 to enter, trade $50,000 ‘virtual’ cash on the Top 300 ASX stocks over four weeks and whoever increases their portfolio the most wins $50,000 cold hard cash. Plus, there is a prize for the person who most closely matches Gilchrist’s investment performance.
All money raised from registrations goes towards Arthritis Australia – arthritis affects one in five Australians and proceeds will fund important research into finding a cure.
Visit www.tradingchallenge.com.au to find out more.

in my opinion its kind of true, but kind of a beat-up. The Age seems to love these serious stories about how we're all doomed.nhd wrote:What are peoples thoughts on this report >>

a few banks like Merrill Lynch and Citigroup are still suffering from sub prime fallout, and american consumers are the least confident for quite some time, which will impact retailing over there. plus oil is expensive and their dollar is fucked which raises the price of imports for them.
im not in australia but from the outside looking in it seems like the biggest problem at the moment is inflation. Big drops in supply of food pushing prices up, and the stupid house price increases.
The market is ridiculously high compared to this time last year and you might see some pull back, but unless you're a noob and just got into the market recently (unwise to be buying at record index levels in the first place) you wont have all your gains wiped out.
Basically, if you have been playing the market for a year or so and feeling like its all too easy, you might be in for a rude shock. If you have your money responsibly invested, and a decent job, and aren't up to your neck in debt to the point where you cant sustain a couple % increase in interest rates, any economic downturn in the medium term will not impact you too hard.
sneaky flow like cash flow

this is because it dont matter really if there share prices go up or down..
as they are for long term investments and all my divedends go into buying more shares..

I don't understand this point.Lós Kasino— wrote:as we all know the aussie dollar is strong against the US atm...
good time to sign up to etrade.com and buy some US stocks.
just purchased some in Pfizer.
Why would US currency weakness be a reason to invest in US stocks? Surely the US currency weakness is endemic of wider US economy woes.
Aren't you only adding currency risk into the equation (which at the moment is severe with the Fed cutting rates willy nilly).
I can see that repatriating funds and working off the exchange rate is the premise, but wouldn't it work against in this case.
From my perspective equities isn't the best place to be at the moment (lots of uncertainty), and US equities especially.
I must be missing something here, because I don't get it. Someone please explain this to me in terms that my simple brain will understand.

Prob not the best time to invest in Financial's in the US.
Other sectors such as agriculture aren't looking too bad though...especially those supplying "China".
I guess Los Kas could hedge against the fx risk, then the only factor is the fwd rate which is pretty stable(-44 basis points for 3 months atm)
Hedge for 3 months, then in 3 months time re-value the asset....roll the hedge another 3 months...ect.

Loving the recession.
Bring it.
Lolz at the US trying to plug up a sinking ship with drowned rats. You guys should probably have done some work during the semester, not just cram the day before an exam. Then you wouldn't be so likely to FAIL.
I wanted to be a hero. I wanted to be the center of attention. I wanted the glory, I wanted the fame. I wanted the pretty girls to come up and say, "Hi, I see that you're good at Centipede."
