Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 (ignore the child-like simplicity of this pic pls...) I've been absolutely stunned by the severity of the daily moves in our market, and this really does apply to most stocks on the board. This is just one I decided to have a look at, Sibanye, over about 1 month. Net gain pretty close to +100%, but the in-between smaller % moves are just staggering.That's volatility for ya!
River Rat Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) The local and international markets are almost impossible to fathom right now. I'm sitting on the sidelines with only some shorts on some international markets to trade with and I'm watching the first quarter earnings data with great interest. On one of my portfolios I'm taking the opportunity to re-balance it and lock in some capital gains losses at the same time. Sell low and buy low was not a concept I have thought much about?

I'm signed up with Standard Bank online trading. They recently rolled out in partnership with Iress a really handy dashboard kind of thing, shows me heatmaps, any kind of watchlist, graphs, sens, nothing technical charting wise but nice to have. I suspect though most online platforms will have a graph system going on, and probably for cheaper than SBK Quagga 1

GrahamS2 Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 Well done, that's the easy part now don't get too irritated with the FICA nonsense Or the ridiculous 'trading hours'. Even worse when you're in another time zone!But they're cheap and pretty effective.
Chris_ Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 Is anyone else expecting/waiting for the market to totally collapse again? Or is it just me being a pessimist... again
River Rat Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 Is anyone else expecting/waiting for the market to totally collapse again? Or is it just me being a pessimist... againMy timing for the next pullback is July / August when the poor second quarter results are published. In my opinion that will be the first time the market is going to price in the reality of COVID, at the moment it seems to be driven by hope for a V shaped recovery. In the meantime expect a roller coaster ride. BigDL and Chris_ 2
