I'm surprised to see AGK improving strongly on good volumes. Up 23c now. (Another div paying stock which would have broken your heart)
Someone on HC gave BHP a forward pe of 6.6. That's very low for a growth stock so that means the "money" doesn't believe the growth. I do.
remember not all share holders are on this forum, and all they herd this morning is the US marked did prety bad, and lots of numbers were quoted.
most hold shares, and are advised by brokers, it may take 2 weeks for this to fall, as people will take tiome to decide their own doom and gloom, my father outlaw has been procrastinating like this since,feb,.

Had me worried for a minute
All this talk of downward movement and collapse got me a tad worried, so I hopped in the car and drove past my investment properties.
Phew, Thank God, still standing exactly as they were yesterday.
Think I'll go home and take a little nap on the couch this arvo, it appears there is nothing to worry about, the sky aint falling after all.

Just lucky they don't show the price of your property every night on the news. A few punters might be a bit less than smug.
Why would I want to sell, craigb??? I really don't care what someone else thinks they're worth - the rent just keeps rolling in every week/month, and that's all I'm asking! 
BTW - 'twas meant to be a tongue-in-cheek comment. Where is a TIC icon when one needs one???

Geez, evand! The RE institutes and 'experts' have a huge amount of trouble deciding on how to calculate the median price for a suburb for one quarter ... can you just imagine how they'd go about this?????
But back to the thread ...

Who would have thought this could happen with a ban on shorts?
Not the US govt.

I just checked my share holdings and guess what? They are still right where they were yesterday.
I know today's market price for them but I could only guess what it is for my property.
Why do you put **** on share investors about daily fluctuations as if they matter while maintaining that fluctuations on property don't matter?

what i am finding interesting is the volume of transactions. on my shares (which are holding their own) the volume is double what it is on a normal day - and it's only lunchtime.
i cannot understand why so many people are bailing, and losing their capital, when the reason they bought is still strong (dividends, strong company base, strong contracts etc).
anyone want to try and explain this. i would've thought that it was too late to bail in a strong company and one would be better holding on for the short (?) but volitile ride.

Not really so bad.
Most of my stocks are down only 1 to 3%.
Given that the media is suggesting that armigeton has arrived.
More importantly a number of my stocks are higher than their prices back in July.
Even the banks are still higher than they were several weeks ago.
WBC my last buy was at $19.5 now $22.2
ANZ my last buy was at $15.something now $18.3
NAB last buy was at $20something now $24.6
BHP & RIO havent bought any yet. However if RIO goes to around $70 then i think i will make my first purchase.
