That is a really interesting point.
Should some sort of rally occur, it wouldn't be surprising to see something broad-based, or possibly even leaning slightly towards the "riskier" sectors, as traders speculate on shift in sentiment in 2023 after what has been a largely risk-off year.

i was hoping more for guidance on sector rotation
but any accurate tips ( on future trends ) would be helpful in what i expect to be a tough year
but defensive ( to protect against a big downturn ) v. 'growth ' ( trying to outpace inflation ) will be an interesting battle to watch
maybe taxes will be a deciding factor ( governments trying to claw in more revenue ) do governments increase royalties , or maybe capital gains taxes , or perhaps squeeze real estate harder
my pick is governments will chase more revenue rather than trim costs/expenditure ( despite my wish they would slim down government )

Being an accumulator not a trader , I've found the quiet time when fundies are away and b4 resolutions are enacted to have been a good time to partake in some buy action. I mean, if there's going to be a rally, may as well hang around and enjoy it.
Some might find that counterintuitive, but it's worked for me.

i have done ( fairly ) well in commodities as well , but in a world buried in debt who is going to consume those commodities in the next two years , since Australia would rather extract and export , rather than value add first , and since we don't value-add , where is the next wave of exploration/development capital coming from
do we extract , export and waste money on silly war games ( which translates to no capex in the next 5 years ) or do we get serious and re-industrialize Australia , if Russia can be ( nearly ) self-sufficient why can't Australia , the weather is much better here ( sun-power, wind-power, wave-power, uranium , oil , gas , coal all there to be tapped wisely )
Good evening divs4ever,
The La Niña weather pattern is forecast to fade in early 2023, the weather man reckons and the Indian Ocean Dipole appears to be normalising. Nice. In combination, this reduces the chances of wetter-than-normal conditions in eastern Australia, easing concerns about disruptions to mining operations and rail transportation.
Food for thought.
Kind regards

i would rather recycle the investment cash and let the profits run ( where sensible ) but the cycles might be out of sync this time , picking the best trend might be difficult
i have had several surprises in my selections ( clean energy technology has mostly been a bust for me ) what appears to have growth becomes a money pit ( or just a trap ) a boring bottom-drawer stock ( like BKL ) turned into a multi-bagger ,
interesting times ahead

wetter than normal is good for D20 , normal is better for RFF , but all these 'normal conditions ' aren't so good if commodity prices drop in parallel , and more production will exacerbate any skill shortages .
remember Albo is trying to stare down China but not warm up relations with India and Mexico
Hello again divs4ever
Extraction , production and transportation costs crippling when price not there, 100%, nevertheless, wouldn't want to see any disruptions to this. Commodity prices reliant on demand and supply. All depends...
Ah yes the politicians, who knows, don't really think they do either... ha ha ha ha. Our elected representatives.
Been doing some reading about China and India, particularly with respect to consumer demand for gold. Havn't quite got the bottom of it all yet.
Have a very nice night.
Kind regards

I do wonder also about the effect the weather may have had on consumer sentiment and spending?
Purely anecdotal but as of a few weeks ago, people seemed to be getting well and truly over it and that may well have contributed to a sense of doom and gloom.
Hello Smurf1976
Yeah agree, dispair, emotional and financial hurt and loss from weather events..,
Have a safe and happy Christmas and prosperous new year.
Kind regards

gold is very important in the Indian marriage ceremony , so that is almost guaranteed consumer demand there ( the 'marriage season also makes Indian retail demand rather seasonal
have a good night
PS i should probably more friendly to the Indian neighbours up the street and get a better idea on their culture ( so far there are so many ethnic groups in the street i have tried to stay neutral with them all )
cheers

More like a santa smile. When it's above 1st December numbers I think that we can call it a rally.

The bounce from near the 200-day MA is an encouraging sign, but XJO is now seeing some resistance from the August highs and monthly pivot point right around 7140. Perhaps a break above this level can allows for a retest of the Dec 1 highs, although time is running out for it to be considered a Santa Rally.
