you'll be ok with your short, nasdaq and Dow not fairing well. Tencent and Naspers get a beating with them. NPN supports about 20% ALSI 40.  Wish you were wrong though.

Hi, 

 

I didn't know about this...will keep this in mind for the future...

I kind of spread my ka-ching around different equities to lower risk...lets hope it helps...

I would have waited had I known....

agree 100% BUT still got to see big picture before you invest. At moment bears totally in control and who knows we could still get a major correction or even a crash. Trade with caution advised.  been there twice before ( crash) and i know what it feels. Doors get closed on you with concrete and you cant sell as system crashes etc.

 

Lionel, forget about having the party on SNH on R 4.00 - let's have one now, since myself and polly agreed (even only once). That may change soon again :-)

forgot to add that during these times nice to keep your powder dry IE bee cash flush as once in a lifetime bargains may start appearing especially the blue chips.

Polly you are a trader, you buy/sell long and shorts. From an investor perspective there are many shares that is a good buy for each of these conditions. Regrettably we are on the Choppies post and not something I would invest in for several reasons and none of them listed in previous post.

And no Polly you are not right - your initial claims were that September and October are not good times to invest. I stick to my guns that your statement is mythical.

Off course you are right when you say timing is important, like stating the obvious.

Thus, if there is a share that is cheap (and currently many shares in SA is undervalued). Then it is a good time to invest regardless if it is September or October. A couple of points up or down while short sellers make a living is irrelevant in the long run. Specially if you do monthly investments into a specific portfolio of shares.

Oil will retract to between $65 and $75, Trump and China will make peace, China strategy to lower duties for other trading partners may just pull the rabbit out of the hat. Rand may strengthen as policies are falling into place one by one. FED plan to raise rates more next year. There is at this point no drought expected this year. Things actually are looking pretty rosy from where I am sitting.

In my humble opinion, it is never a bad time to invest in quality shares. And nothing wrong to take a punt now and again depending on your risk appetite.

I myself don't worry about whether it is full moon, september or october, I personally prefer the facts.
