AFF Member Stock Discussion

I have no time for directors who have tickets on themselves and have the market fooled.
Yes, it seems not only markets but other organisations are caught on whatever is being portrayed. And decision making which in the longer term is shown to be imprudent.

I once instigated getting the top 8 or so investors together in an asx company to roll the board. Just mentioning it so people know these things are possible. Another time I called for the sacking of a director who sat on the board of a company in which I was also a director. I reluctantly agreed to allow him to resign. He did not deserve that degree of leniency.
 
Now CBA is on a PE of 27 which is quite ridiculous but that doesn’t mean it will fall $50 tomorrow.
I looked at PEXA and UNI but was not convinced that I should buy either.
We have chunks of bank hybrids as our back up cash as we can get the funds back in a couple of days.
 
We bought some IPH this week as they moved down to a new low. They should go ok in the IP and trademark areas. It might take a while but I am a patient investor.
 
Dividend looks OK.
That high dividend (80% ratio) is seen as a -ve for an acquisitive company.

(Edit, note that analysis below was done a few months ago when the share price was higher)


Edit #2 : the above -ve analysis was done at a higher price and contrast with other+ve analysis. I am just making a point regarding dividend ratios.

I like the business that IPH are in and I bought because they were cheap. If you rely on charts you never get to buy stocks near their low point. Buy low and sell high tends to work for us if we ever need to sell.
I had my tax accountants query our investment in Waterco when they were very cheap.That one is up about 7 times.
When we bought into the old Eddy Groves property trust at 85 cents they became CQE and up 3 times.
Chartists miss these.

Most people can't afford to tie up their capital for years and years without any return. You seem to own almost every stock on the ASX so I guess you don't need to be picky, but buying low and selling high rarely works out. Stocks that are cheap and are trending down are that way for very good reasons and buying them is generally a fool's game. Assuming they don't go bust and you can afford to hold for 10, 15, 20 years or however long it takes to turn a profit and still have other capital to invest in stocks that bring returns more quickly, I guess the strategy works, sometimes. You also need to factor in the lost opportunity when you have $$$$$$ tied up in stocks that aren't doing anything. Each to their own though.

Incidentally, I didn't put any technical indicators on that chart, as a chartist would probably do. I just read it for what it is and it took about 30 seconds to pick the date I quoted.

I read financial reports so I was happy with IPH’s latest numbers.
Have taken up DigiCo issue and True North copper placement.
Have just lodged a proxy for GDA’s AGM. Good Drinks need a rev up on making profits.
We do have quite a range of stocks and bonds and I still enjoy the thrill of the chase.
 
What do people think about CMW. Trading at .38c but net tangible assets around .65c

CMW used to be discussed a bit in this thread.

Mostly between April 2020 and Aug 2022 when it traded in a range from roughly 78 to 88 cents.

Then it fell sharply to the low 40’s and the chatter stopped, just like CMW’s profits.

Possibly new range .40 to .45?
It's definitely range bound and has been for the last 12 months. I'd be waiting for a break above 48c before buying.
 
REITS have been affected badly by the stalled higher interest rates. Our current government is not helping the interest rate story that is crushing folks with large home mortgages.
 
Broker very strong today ..sell cba….maybe I will now sell a few
Broker can't go wrong really.. arguably at the top with a correction awaiting stage right
