AFF Member Stock Discussion

Looking to apply for WAR. I have several emails from atomic, each with different priority codes, but identical names and address. This is because I hold different WAM products with different brokers. But can anyone see how I can match which priority code matches with which broker?

Read the Element 25 latest report and their manganese trucking project is making sense. That one is E25.
Meanwhile Pepper has been going down despite them doing lots of business.Getting to feel happy that we received a scale back portion of this new issue.
 
Going back to Perth tonight so have to do mask unless i am eating or drinking on the Virgin plane.
Three days of business so i am looking forward to getting home.
The stock market was very kind this week but i had very little time to do much.
Resimac went up and Pepper went down.
i did like seeing the banks soaring and CBA above $100.

Me too given some recent commentary that banks have run their dash. I’ve had CBA since about forever, I think the original price was about $6. Have sold a few over the years but not many and boy am I glad I held.
 
Ok I really should do something with the money I have sitting in the offset account and uhmming and ahhing for years now.... I know I've probably missed the big bounce back from Covid...

If you don't mind some questions from someone who has watched the stock market and some crypto but never really invested after losing a few bucks about 10-15 years ago, do you guys sign up to any companies that provide reports, recommendations or forecasts of company stock prices, how many stocks do you generally hold and are we talking big bickies or $5k and under spread over say 10-20 of them?

Some of these questions may be a little personal in terms of how much and how many you invest in, but anyway we'll see if anyone answers...

I know a lot of mining stocks seem to be going up with talk of materials for batteries and commodity prices increasing etc, etc, just wondering again if now is buying in after the prices have already gone up several multiples and letting myself in for flat or declining prices (geez I'd love to get in on a crypto or stock that was worth nothing and is about to go up several hundred percent but how do you pick the diamonds from the chaff?)

Anyway noted some of the stocks mentioned over the last several pages and so will keep and eye on them before thinking about bying some, or just weighing up some Vanguard ETF's perhaps and let some pro's pick them etc, but maybe not get the eye popping 200%-1000% jumps....
 
@casanovawa i do look at Euroz Hartleys, Argonaut and Bell Potter investment ideas plus some other publications. The shares we have done for one of our sons has three up and one down and he is up 34% overall and he gets to spend the dividends.
You might go for a well managed fund.
 
@casanovawa yeah I'd go the ETFS too and I do.
Yes no eye watering returns but no eye watering losses either.

Vdhg, a200, hack, ndq, fang... Have a look.. Just suggesting a few

Reports that suggest you should buy a particular stock are hiding the fact that someone wants you to buy the stock in order to benefit them, not you. Caveat emptor!

For the inexperienced, I recommend ETFs like others have. Look at DJRE for a 5-6 year hold and one of the banks/financial ETFs like BNKS, MVB or OZF. Index based ETFs such as NDQ, VEU, VTS, F100, etc should be good for the next 5-6 years too.

Be careful of the miners! They are very volatile, especially the minnows and you are far more likely to get burned than earn your retirement fund.

My SMSF has been over-weight CBA for a long time; resisted selling, against Adviser’s repeated entreaties, as I liked the dividend and more so since I’ve retired. But couldn’t resist selling a few on Thursday.

What do people think of the talk of a CBA capital return?

Very much agree. I got out of all except the big miners when I retired and lost my ear to the ground. But it was a lot of fun for many years. Won some, lost some with the tiddlers and enjoyed a lot of long lunches with brokers when they thought I was in the know ( I sometime was, but they didn’t get far with that!)
 
If growth for CBA is not possible a capital return would imply this.
CBA has franking credits so we are happy to get their dividends. CBA buying back shares at $100 plus would not be a great idea.
We have a seven figure value of CBA holding and no plan to sell despite them being overpriced in todays market. They are clearly a number one in banking in Australia.
 
I have held Nab shares for over 30 years. That was my first investment, held by my dad as i was 15yrs old. I used to clean the bank branch and mow the yard in qld rural branches. Just got dividends since and share offer which i invested in. Now mortgage free trying to diversify investments so into etfs a bit currently.
 
AFI have been a solid performer over the years good growth and dividends.Of course Vanguard product are excellent.

Firstly congratulations on buying low, holding and reaping the benefits of what must be something close to a 16 bagger.

I had a similar situation with ANZ shares. Bought initial stake for $2.50, reinvested dividends, participated in new issues as they came along, and held. On an average, I was sitting on a 5+ bagger. I got to the point though of realising that I’d never get another 5 bagger out of ANZ from where the market was, so I rationalised the holding a bit after searching for some new opportunities and managed to invest in a few new companies that have earned me a healthy multi-bagger across a couple of them.
 
Hands up all who have read the 306 pages of Macquarie Bank annual report.
We should have bought more when they were cheap.
We want to go to their next AGM if Covid-19 allows it.
We are up almost 6 times on this long term hold and we should have re-invested those dividends.
Meanwhile our investment in Myanmar Metals is in trouble.
You cannot have 100% wins.....
 
I know investment jargon is often used on this tread, but what is a "bagger"?

Maybe something to do with Ugly Bob:
