Anothery.
3 positive weeks, although last week was a huge +0.03%, so a flat week, really crap 💩 actually as the market beat me.

Anyway, only need about a 1000 more of these...

P2 has been waiting for rare earths to shine again and I believe we are quite close to that, some stocks have already started. (IXR)
Will have to look at ARU again shortly.

That link is interesting.
I know a 23 year with 2 stocks.
Equal money went into Qantas and VAS... roll eyeballs here

well VAS should do OK depending on the strategy taken in the future ( with VAS )

the other one .. well i can only wish the investor luck ( and might need some medication for nervous stomach issues , like say ginger )

( MAYBE the investor is gambling the airline is 'too big to let fail ' like many other national airlines )

( i hold VAS , that is my profits DRPing , and abandoned holding that airline several years ago )

I ponder to what extent the concept of index investing could itself be considered bubble-like?

It seems to be the very mainstream view these days. :2twocents

well if you were consider index investing as a computerized version of trend trading , you might wonder if the same traps as following the herd would appear , after all the higher the share price ( for whatever reason ) the higher the weighting in the index fund and also tends to lift the entire portfolio value .. so far it seems to be a self-fulfilling prophesy , and a bubble is possible , some terrible news can cripple a major stock and therefore deflate the whole index value ... and since the price changes are close to real time for market moves

and all this happens with a reduced intervention of traditional bargain-hunters who are at a time disadvantage , so are more likely to stay back further in case a downward trend continues ( a computer is less likely to heed 'psychological support levels )

since ETFs are continuously buying/selling themselves ( through the 'market-makers ) and constituents in the 'basket ' to track the index one must wonder how much effect retail buyers/sellers and the traders have on finding 'real value ' in the market

such fragility in the market keeps me buying small( ish ) parcels to adjust my holdings
 
Best 4 weeks in quite some time.

Hopefully the market keeps it up, because it certainly hasn't been me actively trading hard over the period.
Was around 15 orders transacted.
I would concede that could be considered active, however, the buys and sells mostly aren't the same stocks, and my being active would easily be 15+ transactions a week.

I'm starting to get a little more involved with day to day management of the portfolio.

Over the last year and a half, I haven't been particularly active with it but have been keeping busy elsewhere. But recently, have had a little more time on my hands.

Have realised I really do miss watching the data flow in, ticker tape kinda stuff, doing the rounds etc (boring as bat turds to most people) whilst full time trading, but without a large enough capital base to trade with, it's also hard to make a living from trading. Catch 22.

Getting to the age where I seriously need to plan for retirement, can't be happy go lucky forever.

Anyway, enough of my brain farts.
Last week was ok.
Not over +5%, but good enough. Any week or month that beats a per annum account rate, is A ok by me.
Fingers crossed on MOH on Monday coming out of trading halt most likely..

What a monstrous day. My best stocks are doing the worst: CDA down 4.7%, IMD down 2.9%. I can usually count on some buoyancy from the goldies on a bad All Ords day but not today. Haven't seen anything I want to buy.

threw in some extra orders but have missed all targets .. so far ( unless there is a big dump at the end )
