Actually, you do have a choice, you can change to another fund but it's too late now, the damage is already done. It also takes a couple of weeks to change over.

I buy ShareChart but forget how much it costs. It is always running and the first thing I do for any share is "look at the chart". I'm active in the market so it is simply the cost of doing business.
But they do not do intraday and I rely on my broker for them. That costs too if you don't do a minimum trades/month.
Can always try bigcharts marketwatch.......when you type in a code type au:bhp for instance.

hehehe nice - me too. I also use CMC market software for 15min trading on futures and options.
ShareChart is $600 a year for the US market and $420 for the AUS market - or vice versa.
my data goes all the way back to 1991
It depends on your age and risk profile,
Long term I would choose the balanced or high growth fund.
Right now, cash is what I would go for but if we didn't have the subprime/credit issues, I would have switched over to their property fund instead.
Check out their past performance.

What timescale of "trending" do you look at Sue78? Hours, days, weeks, months, years? It's very important to understand this before many people can post a meaningful reply.

It's profit reporting season in the US if these banks continue to record breaking losses and writedowns it cannot be good
What a rebound. Its a crazy market at the moment. No one know whats going on.
Those brave enough to buy BHP yesterday have made 8% in half an hour.
I have one stock up 32% in half an hour!! (WRK)
As to your question. As mentioned by Yman, It depends on your time frame. When the pink line crosses the blue line. It could be buy signal. But its a 6 month chart not a one week chart. And its seriously trending downwards which means it should be bought in the first place. (IMO)

Pay the extra money, and find a broker that you can ring night or day on days like these,every one just waits in line,everything is going to plan unless you went short,and get blown out of the water..LOL..

Hi Sunfish,
No what's PP?
I'm using Sharelord from Nik Hallik (Financial Freedom Institute) and doing covered calls only (so buy the shares and write the calls). The calls we had expired a few days ago so we are watching the US markets and waiting to place more calls against those shares.
That's why I was asking about real losses versus paper losses. Some of the US share recommendations have gone down but a few of them have actually gone up even if this market!
We use optionXpress for trading in the US and they have been up throughout this apart from being closed on Monday (their time) for Martin Luther King Day.
Regards,
Karen
Interesting thread from a property forum. Brings back memory of the tech crash when everyone on the street had NFI whats going on. I would recommend that people trade with caution with tight stops and small positions. Reduce LVRs to <50% as we're going to be in for a nice ride over the next few weeks.
If you're in it for the long haul, then you shouldn't be worried about this noise, put your market orders in now then concentrate on your next IP deal and the equity market will reward you handsomely in 2020 with your patience.

good news perhaps
Somebody in Europe needed money badly on Monday it now seems, selling huge volume into a US holiday is not something you do by choice. Well it's just been discovered who needed the cash.
€4.9 billion was lost by a rogue trader at Societe Generale.. should help put everybody's losses into perspective
