I only started investing in the ASX September last year and have a taken a punt on a number of stocks, choosing a diversified portfolio. Health care, Materials, Energy, Financials.

My portfolio has been Smashed to pieces in the last week with 30% loss across the board, I'm not gonna panic, just looking forward to when things get better again.

Word on the street is to stay away from Gold, I don't get it ? Gold stocks seem to always be on a good run.

In the meantime I feel its a good time to buy and have started looking for a couple of decent Aussie or Global ETF's.

Crazy shit
Everyone here is shitting themselves.
Media here is crazy as well

No wonder toilet paper sold out
This is our local Coles supermarket

Unbelievable !!!

I have just bought shares in a couple of ETF'S, Thinking market bottomed out or close to it.

Im no expert, just taking a speculative punt.

Hope all your transactions work out well fellow pinsiders.

I shot my buy buy buy wad a couple of days too quick

Hoping for some normality next week !

I'm in Buy Buy Buy mode

Snapped up a few heavily discounted shares today to increase diversification.
SYD
APT
NDQ

See how it plays out, I'm hanging in for a few years yet.
Seen all my other holding dive over last couple of weeks.
My super got smashed as well

Looking forward to the upswing.

Aussie market getting slaughtered as well

For a newb to shares it's exciting yet devastating at the same time to watch the madness.

I've pumped a bit into ASX shares and ETF's only to watch it slide further.

Another wipeout day !

Will hang on for the ride !

Hurry up with vaccine you medical gurus !

Playing with fire again I am !

World share market seeing more Green than Red

Can see a crazy ride in next few months

Personally I am willing to jump on board and play the game

Same here down under
AUS SUPER aka 401k has been smashed here as well.
@ age 52 im a litle upset cause I want to have some good times from all the hard work.
Approx 30% so for me at least a couple of NiB's down the toilet

Ah well, gotta roll with the punches

Best wishes all.
Main thing, Stay safe and healthy !

What I find most distressing is all the rorting that will happen during the handouts for this crisis.
Poor management will lead to wasting/losing hundreds of millions.

Hopefully the handouts go to those that truly need it.

Lets hope some good management is put in place.

Balls man !

.DP

Makes sense,
I have my eye on a handful of quality stock the FOMO on this upswing is killing me.
I will stand strong and wait.
Thanks for the encouraging words kgp.
I Jumped in too early before and lost.

Reference ? Is this you KPG

"We are still at the mercy of headlines"

Thanks for moderation PS mods

While we understand the volatile share market is related to Covid 19, Please keep all the Covid 19 guff in its own thread, not here.

I am very interested to see how the next few weeks and months play out in the Share Market. I closely follow the Nasdaq and ASX as they appear to reflect each other. Im poised to strike in the next big dip. I think there will be a wild ride ahead still.

Thanks to the Pinside traders and all people here playing "the game" for shares related posts in this thread.

Have a safe and enjoyable Easter period everyone.

No problem, while some Covid 19 information in this thread is relevant to trade, I would not like to see this thread spiral out of control with excess Covid 19 data and any to and fro commenting about the virus.

Devastated here Looks like we may have lost one of our great air carriers = less competition = higher prices.
Really sad because they were great to fly with.
Appears shareholders lost everything.

Are you guys expecting any of your air carriers to fall over ?

I am continuing to play.

Only nibbles in ASX shares here and there.
Modest profit collected from APT the other day.

Currently moving away from property and finance to online activities, gaming and tech. Also as crazy as it might sound I'm trying to get into oil and gas at the right price STO.

Some frightening figures here.

Sure is a big bounce !

I have bought into a few ASX retail and energy stocks on the way up.

Will we will peak then fall off a cliff big time again ?
N (resized).JPG

Profit taking on shorts ?

There have been large spikes here, so I'm guessing ?? if you could more than double your money in one week, why not cash in ?
APT (resized).JPG

Edit, excuse me for being a trading novice , I realised I miss interpereted the meaning of shorts

There appears to be a crazy euphoria in our stock and property market here down under.
It's really crazy to be caught up in the ride, my stock investments are small and being a newb to shares it has been interesting to see the wild ride.
I have a really bad feeling that this is the deep breath before the major exhale ! the build on the ASX is too intense and I don't see sustainability.
All I see is crazy overvalued shares with zero dividend, the whole thing is nuts !
Huge upswing here again today, hope my balls are along for the ride and a swift withdrawal when necessary is possible, lol

I boosted my holding in CRN today at rock bottom price.

CORONADO GLOBAL RESOURCES INC

Coronado Global Resources Inc., together with its subsidiaries, produces, markets, and exports metallurgical coal. The company operates through four segments: Curragh, Buchanan, Logan, and Greenbrier. It owns a portfolio of operating mines and development projects, including the Curragh mine complex located in the Bowen Basin of Queensland, Australia; and the Buchanan, Logan, and Greenbrier mine complexes located in the Central Appalachian region in Virginia and West Virginia, the United States. The company provides its products in the United States, India, Japan, Korea, Europe, Australia, Taiwan, China, and Brazil. Coronado Global Resources Inc. was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in Brisbane, Australia.

Yes I understand its a dirty product however CRN is part of my diversified portfolio.

I am at a loss to understand why CRN has flatlined ? Its Australian operation is performing well. I am unsure how the Virginia operations are tracking ? Anyone have a heads up on what is happening there ?

I'm unsure to be honest.

Total newb to this game. I'm not sure if analyst are spruiking or not ?

Trading well below fair value, The CEO seems keen with a big buy in.

Decent dividend with future growth.

Sold my APT shares at $28.00 thinking it had peaked

So many overvalued stocks atm, is it because so many new young investors joining the share markets ?

I have been considering RTX for a while now
Bottomed out perhaps ?

I think silver has a great future and wish I bought in a few months back when I was considering it. Unfortunately I was procrastinating on best way to get in.Still am etf, exploration, production, idk ?
Im also hot on trying to get into nickel at the moment as well. Perhaps another commodity with a bright future.
Finally I need some tech and medical stock to round out the portfolio but find everything way overvalued at the moment
Hard to know what and when to pounce.
I can see the shit may hit the fan by years end. Then a proven vaccine next year if we are lucky..
Sure is a whole new world out there, I guess most important is to be safe and stay healthy.
GLT all.

My RE and other commodities search led to this.

Tesla rival, low end entry

Massive deal with Suning

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suning.com

I am very ant..i chin.a, however this appears to be a no brainer cash cow.

I will need to engage NYSE for this one, Anyone in ?

Thoughts ?

Does the tax on gains somewhat negate the profit on a quick sale ?

I am new to trading and trying to get my head around the tax pitfalls.
Here we have to hold for 12 months to reduce tax on capital gains.

How do you guys get hit there ?

The current cycle.

Manipulation by the elite ?

Appears to be on the money. pun intended.

Thoughts ?

Keeping my head above water, just,
during these tough times.
Metals and Mining are a huge play Down Under.
JRV's Idaho Cobalt operation looks interesting.

I have gone pretty hard on the Lithium, Cobalt and Nickel.
Hoping one or two of these small cap plays will go nuts.
My gold play is finally coming back.

I wish I kept and invested more in the dirty black coal shares, they have killed it here this year with 200-300% gains. Missed that boat
I am back to working in coal mining again and look forward to becoming financially free to get out

I have only been playing the game for a couple of years now.
55 now, I want to enjoy life some more and if my share plays pay I will be able to travel more.
Wish I started earlier.

Best regards to you all.

fed (resized).JPG

The entire world market appears to be coming across as a pump and dump scheme at the moment

Im balls deep having a play , but wow the market is a wild beast !

Couldn't be possible ???

Could it !

S&P (resized).JPG

Im still loading up in the materials sector in anticipation of improving economy in EV and the clean energy push.

I understand oil and coal have many years to go these sectors don't inspire me, even though they are making good in the market.

My big plays are

Lithium
Nickel
Copper
Cobalt
Graphite

I am heavy into
CXO
NVX
JRV
SFR

55 now, hoping to be set by 60

Curious to know his strategy ?
Assuming Tech heavy ?
