Weekend observations

Sunday 10 May Currencies The US$ index continues to fall, with strength in Sterling and the Euro. Two weeks ago I wrote that “the A$ at just over 78¢ has tentatively broken its short term downtrend line, which gives rise to the possibility of a rally. Let’s wait and see.” Well, it did stage a … Read more

Transactions in AZK and IWG

Thursday 7 May Yesterday I sold AZK at 29¢ and IWG at 32¢. I made the decision to sell AZK after the close of trade on Tuesday when they finished at 32¢. Unfortunately they opened lower on Wednesday so I could only get 29¢ for them. They finished today at 25¢. The realised price of 29¢ … Read more

Transactions in EMH and CBX

Friday 1 May Today I sold the holdings in EMH and CXB at 21.5¢ and 9.3¢, respectively, making a small gain on the combined total. I had purchased EMH at 22.5¢ and CBX at 8.5¢ earlier this week.

Updates on CXB and EMH

Thursday 30 April CXB finished today at 11.5¢, up 1.5¢ and now a reasonable margin above the 8.5¢ at which I bought them earlier in the week. On the daily chart I would have been relatively relaxed.

Tuesday 28 April The stock finished the day at 38.5¢, down 6.5¢. Earlier in the day it peaked at 62.5¢. Is this a (bearish signal) one day reversal? I don’t think so. Anyway it remains in uptrend. Am still holding.
