Hi Gameboy The difference in the high leveraged products ie options, futures etc, is that you have a time decay premium built in. This is usually fairly high compared to a house loan interest rate and they don't return a dividend to boot. bye

Hi Ross When those urgers come out again during the next rise in the stockmarket it won't be with the same stocks, it will be in the new sector that catches the imagination( I just wish I knew what it will be).:confused: In the mid 80's the urgers were pushing the entrepeurners like Bond...

Hi Ross, I'm not a brawler either, maybe I'm not communicating very well.:o I know many people who currently own telstra shares and they all say that it is a long term investment. However when they purchased(mostly during the second float) they were hoping to make money in the next couple...

Ross, the reason I call it a trade is historical. If you look to find the top 20 stocks from 30 years ago, you won't find many in the top 50 now! In fact many have either been swallowed up by larger companies or they just disappeared. Property is different in that it doesn't just disappear...

Hi all, Mark, what I mean by buying high is that when a stock goes to a new high, (according to the time period you are trading) is the time to purchase as the trend is up and likely to keep going. Conversly selling short on a new low is the way to go. Also having a new low on a buy should be...

Oops my mistake, that's 25% now on AMP. bye

More lambs to the slaughter. An investment psychology that says the price is cheap and getting cheaper therefore I must buy is doomed to failure in the long run. When this thread was started AMP was around $8.00 and has now lost around 20%. The opposite investment strategy goes along the...

The share market and property markets are two different animals and each has it's own peculiaraties regarding risk/reward. Don't expect what works in one to work in the other. The stockmarket has always been about SELLING paper with the promise of a high and growing return. The reality is the...

Ah Mr Turkey I just love the doomsayers who come along to spoil the party with their words of wisdom and warning. I have heard this line that you follow for over 20 years and I'm still waiting. Are you following Prechter ?? He pushed this line a few years ago and called for the top in the...

JDP if AMP hit 50c I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole!! because the next target would be 40c then 30c ...you get the picture. For anyone who studies the history of shares and what happens between one boom and the next, the overriding feature is that the leaders are never the same. In the...
