Yip although I only bought in early December, Standard Bank OST says I'm +21.5%. Happy :)

A pity about RMI though :(. Been going down ever since I bought them.

Should have bought Ellies instead!

RMI is a great stock and will reverse.

Hold onto CML. The fundamentals have not changed and it has gone down to more reasonable levels for steady growth. The rate it was going up worried me and it looked like it was pricing in the large gain in Assets. Normal gain was 10 to 25% but last year it was 52% so the earnings from this will only reflect this year. This will be the best year ever for CML.

Now I'm giving advice and this will attract hordes of criticism but I will sadly not be back here to read them as I have other forums that I need to annoy members of.
I'll be back in December though. Perhaps only to boast with CML's gain of my predicted 123% this year.

Only got 100 shares.
Looking at Northam for my next batch.

Jubilee and Aquarius have pretty much doubled in the last 6 months, so slightly temped there.

I recently sold my Northam CFDs, making an 8% profit after a few days. :)

I've been watching Lonmin and AMS for a while now, I'm also tempted.

I wanted to buy Lonmin shares when they were still hovering at around R35 a share last month. I didn't and watched the share price spike to about R50. I bought those shares a few days ago on the 8th and lost 3% so far. Will see how the Lonmin share price will be over the next few weeks and months. I have a stop loss of 10%.

For platinum I'd make the stop loss 25%.

I don't use stop loss, so if a share tanks it tanks.


Construction shares are also worth a look.

I've only got a bit of esorfranki., looking at RBX, MUR and WBO for a while now and not sure whether to have a nibble yet.
Got nothing I want to sell right now.

I would advice that a stop loss be always used so as to protect your capital. Money management is important when trading or investing, a stop loss is a tool to be used to minimize your losses.

I read the whole thread, mostly DJ and marco's posts. Although I am impressed at the level of knowledge DJ posses regarding technical analysis, I'm slightly disappointed that he only briefly touched on trading psychology. Psychology in trading is very important. If there is one book an aspiring trader (and a long term investor) should read is Trading In The Zone by Mark Douglas. Read the book twice atleast!

That would be a good idea for beginners who don't watch their stocks.
 
CML going up and up! :D Hitting new 52 week highs..

Invested in Ellies a week or two @ 900c...now at 878c. Depressing.

That comes with investing. Don't expect your shares to go up every day. Look at that chart and you will see that it is quite normal in it's uptrend.

I hope you have more in CML though. On a new high as I expected. A short lived correction of 5% may be on the cards soon. If not, then it is pricing in expected results.

What analysis have you performed to come to this conclusion? How did you come to your 5% figure?

Someone here said that one must get to know one's stocks intimately. Not sure who it was. I have had CML under the microscope for years and by now can predict most of it's moves. Most people on ShareChat ask me for ADVICE on CML as they know that this has been MY share of preference.
Now how did I come to this -5% correction. It is on a new high that I predicted here before it corrects. It cannot correct lower than -7% as the demand is too big due to the ZAR. It may not correct and keep pricing in the expected returns from the increase in AUM from the foreign income that keeps pouring in and the results of that will only show this year.
The ZAR has strengthened somewhat but not enough to stem the inflow of foreign Institutional investments in the form of Pensions, Medical Aids/insurance etc.
Now you will say that foreign investors are ducking out of ZA. Yes. But not CML as they are global.
 
Markets world-wide appear to be re-assessing potential growth and coming to the conclusion that share prices have moved up too much. What are we faced with here? A correction of 5% or perhaps more?
 
Panic selling due to Fed releasing some news about bonds and markets thinking that the QE will end. Some bad news in China as well.
The charts were showing a correction is due anyway as markets are overbought. So not bad really.

5 % would be good but I just don't know with that news. Perhaps 8%???

Marco does not have any technical analysis skills, so when he says that the charts point to there being a correction, he doesn't know what he is talking about. He also has no economics background, nor skills, so please do not take his analysis as anything more than a wild guess. He has no way to quantify his numbers - he simply benchmarks his bullschit with more bullschit.

Do not listen to marco, nor trust what he posts. He is a consistent liar on the forum, and as has been pointed out in this, and every other thread that he gets involved in, he has absolutely no idea what he is talking about...
