Tough times for Gold Prices, Mining Stocks & the ASX 200
April 18th, 2013 · 14 Comments
It has been quite a week with investors needing to digest the slump in gold prices and also the weakening of commodity prices as well. Although I have been warning about both a gold and commodities bubble for some time, I have to admit I didn’t expect the gold price to fall back quite this much, this early.
ASX Charts Review: S&P/ASX 200, All Ords Index, CBA, GOLD & TLS
April 8th, 2013 · 33 Comments
The Australian stock market appears poised to head lower this week and there are signs that the rally which started in the middle of 2012, is turning into a decent sized correction. Over the next week or so the key areas to watch will be the mining stocks, banking stocks and gold prices. But already if we look at some charts in these areas we can see a trend developing.
What could be the next move for the ASX All Ordinaries Index?
March 27th, 2013 · 12 Comments
Since mid last year, the Australian stock market has staged a fairly impressive rally with the ASX All Ordinaries Index moving from a decidedly bearish level of down near 4000 to a bull market level of just under 5200 points.

The ASX All Ordinaries March Towards 5000 – Been There, Done That
February 12th, 2013 · 11 Comments
Recently every move upwards the stock market takes, no matter how slight, is greeted with almost ecstatic cries of joy from many analysts, finance journalists and assorted market watchers. It’s as if the ASX All Ordinaries was heading towards a new high and investors were being showered with money in the midst of a raging bull market that had no limits. Certainly there have been good returns of late for those investors who timed their entry into market almost perfectly, but for longer term investors it’s more of case of here we go again.
Will the S&P/ASX 200 continue to rally in 2012?
December 17th, 2012 · 16 Comments
As we approach the end of the year, the annual topic of a “Santa Rally” rears its head and although I don’t believe Santa can rally stocks, I do wonder if the current upwards trend of the Australian stock market can be sustained for much longer. Will the S&P/ASX 200 finish 2012 on a high, or will slide back and finish well below 4500.
Australian Economic and Market Indicators – November 2012
November 12th, 2012 · 24 Comments
Finally it seems the Reserve Bank of Australia and Treasury have had to accept that the mining boom has peaked or is peaking, which is something I have been talking about on this site for some years. However the RBA, Treasury and Gillard Government all still appear to be relatively upbeat about the outlook for the Australian economy next year which is surprising, since I don’t see a lot to be optimistic about as I review the stock market, housing market or a few other economic indicators.
Australian Stock Market Investing Tips.

I thought it might be a good time to run over my stock market & investing tips again plus allow others to share their tips as well. My list of stock market investment tips of course doesn’t cover everything & I am not suggesting it’s all anyone needs to read before they invest in shares. But I hope it’s of use to those who are looking to invest in shares or are managing their own investment portfolio.
