How do you know that? Do you have access to the share registry
Deltaberry,
I was referring to this post which suggested to me you were talking about a bit more than changes in substantial holdings which is publicly available information....
Last time I looked we are not in a bull market. In fact six stocks make up 50% of the ASX [heard it said tonight] and that six are drifting since their relative recovery from the '08 crash.
The "market" has held fairly steady though, so there must be a bull market somewhere else. That's in the small end of town and that is not the place for buy'n'hold.
Livermore would love this market but Buffett is struggling on a % basis.
The ten largest listed Australian stocks constitute over 50 percent of the ASX 200 index. In other words, the remaining 190 companies make up the other 50 percent.
Over the last 12 months, the ten stocks listed below have slightly outperformed the ASX 200 index, falling just 8.7%, while the index fell 10.1% (excluding dividends).
The top ten stocks
So, without further ado, here are the top ten stocks.
BHP Billiton Ltd (ASX: BHP),
Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA),
Westpac Banking Corp (ASX: WBC),
Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ASX: ANZ),
National Australia Bank (ASX: NAB),
Telstra Limited (ASX: TLS),
Wesfarmers Limited (ASX: WES),
Woolworths Limited (ASX: WOW),
Rio Tinto (ASX: RIO) and
Newcrest Mining Ltd (ASX:NCM).

I know that you shouldn't buy the market and should look for value in individual shares (much like property), but I was looking at the relative performance of share markets around the world and noticed quite a wide discrepancy in relative performance since the GFC.
Looking at current share prices compared to their peaks in late 2007, the ASX is one of the worst performers in terms of recovery with only the Nikkei fairing worse:
Nikkei: -48%
ASX: -37%
HSI: -28%
DAX: -14%
FTSE: -12%
S&P500: -12%
The result feels counter intuitive - China and Australia are in better economic shape than Europe / US yet their share markets appear to have rebounded most effectively.
Any economists out there able to put forward a hypothesis as to why? Is the ASX likely to recover in a similar manner to the US / Europe and therefore represent good value in relative terms? Should we be stocking up? (Pardon the pun).
Is the ZIRP / low IR settings in the US and Europe enough to explain the difference?
Looking at the chart below I can only imagine that behind closed doors at the RBA & Aus Treasury, the view of the worlds future is pretty bleak.
- The ASX200 (^AXJO) started underperforming the S&P500 (^GSPC) beginning Oct 2010
- AUD/USD went above parity in Oct 2010
- The housing market (not shown) peaked at the same time
Traditionally Australia major markets (shares & property) would be bought or sold off at different times, but now they are being sold off together. The inference is that our interest rate policy is the reason. It's not a matter of the direction of rates as such, while Europe has a 1pc policy, the US has a ZIRP, & we cant match that, things are unlikely to change.
Add Swann's budget balance tightening to the equation, & we will be the most financially responsible country in our trading group. Our markets will continue to suffer by comparison to those less responsible, until either we become less responsible or they hit the bottom.
And what you will also see is "Franking Credits" and the div's play a big part in the buy and sell volumes prior to 2008 and now,because holding companies that have been through a rough time after 2008 and depending on how many years it takes for them to recover is not always a smart strategy..imho..This emphasis on CG means that if your comparing the straight index against index of the various markets overseas against the ASX often times it will look like the ASX is not performing aswell. It's quite crazy when you realise the effect franking credits have not just on a stockmarket, but on an economy the effect is quite significant. (increased distribution of capital)
