Hi Patrick,

We have disabled the view for net cash flow and other (so called) extra data from our system recently. We used to provide those details for each stock up to few weeks ago.

We are going to bring them back up soon (in the coming weeks).

Having said that, we never had filtering capabilities on those extra paramters. But we have that on our roadmap.

Sat, 06 Oct 2012 15:52:00 +0000

Hotcopper has 10,000s active members all over Australia. In addition it receives 6000 posts per day accompanied by at least 50 defamatory posts. Also note that they have 10 volunteers to catch those posts. After the recent event the debate got the wind. Which disclosed that companies are using their shareholders money to bring an end to any complain against them. Hotcopper has already offshored its database and servers. There is a saying that the 100 years old British based law is making the situation even worse for Hotcopper. So, it can move to the US where freedom of speech is maintained at the sake of constitution (or wall street!). Ban on domains here also rising at an alarming rate. Against all the odds we can't ignore Hotcopper's impact on Australian stock holders. That's why it is still on the top of the choice list. It doesn't enforce people, it encourages them. It shows them light at the end of a dark tunnel. Like the current situation, there will be questions in the future too but Hotcopper will remain the same as it is now. In the long run there will be no valid reason available to sue Hotcopper as they are not manipulating; what they are doing is just enlightening people!

Hamish, I purchased Dave Limburg's trading course late last year when I was looking for something similar. Dave won the CMC Markets CFD trading competition back in 2007 (or thereabouts I think). His course covers the basics from a technical perspective and he also includes the trades he made from the competition to give you some perspective on how a professional approaches the market using the material (much better than books in my opinion). Dave has been quite helpful and I'd recommend his product to help you get started. You can find out more info here: http://www.theeverydaytrader.com/

Being a programmer, I found Amibroker to be the best option available. I have tested numerous platforms.

Answered: How to you use market depth to buy and sell shares?

Tue, 14 Aug 2012 01:17:00 +0000

It is sometimes very easy to identify support and resistance points using Market depth. Having access to the market depth for day trading is an advantage as you can read where the big players position themselves and where the big sellers are during the day.

The market depth is a constant moving grid of buyers and sellers orders in the market. Remember that there are two moving factors that move the market Demand and Supply. And like any other market demand and supply eventually dictates the final price.

This might help you:
Go to My research section and then search for stocks with devidend yeild of greater than 50.
This will give you 13 stocks on ASX that 50% return on devidend. Unfortunately though this doesn't really tells you the whole picture as most of these stocks have lost more than 50% in value comparing to the last time they had paid dividend.
So my suggestion is to do add these 2 parameters:
1. devidend yeild > 50
2. change % from 52 week high > -44

This result for me are these stocks:
1. CSE       COPSTRIKE FPO       Materials
2. MES       MESBON CHN FPO      Consumer Durables & Apparel
3. OCP       OCEANIA CP FPO      Diversified Financials

First stage of Echo offer raises $266m

Mon, 18 Jun 2012 09:35:00 +0000

Casino operator Echo Entertainment has raised $266 million in the first stage of a new share sale launched to reduce its debt and support its VIP gambler business.

The company says it expects to raise $454 million by offering one new share for every five already held by shareholders, at $3.30 per new share.

Institutional shareholders took up approximately 95 per cent of new shares on offer in the first stage of the capital raising venture, Echo said in a statement on Monday.

Its largest shareholder, Crown, will take up its full entitlement, and Crown's overall stake in Echo will remain at 10 per cent.

The share offer to retail shareholders, starting on June 25, is expected to raise $188 million.

Echo owns The Star in Sydney, Treasury casino in Brisbane, and the Jupiters casinos on the Gold Coast and in Townsville

Brewer Lion to take over Little Creatures

Mon, 18 Jun 2012 04:14:00 +0000

Another Australian brewing company is to be bought out by foreign interests, with Lion to acquire the maker of Little Creatures.

The Japanese-controlled Lion, formerly Lion Nathan, owns 36 per cent of Little World Beverages and has offered to buy full control in a deal that values the craft brewer at $381.6 million.

Little World Beverages, the maker of Little Creatures and White Rabbit beers and Pipsqueak cider, has recommended its shareholders accept the bid.

A vote on the deal is expected to be held in October.

The takeover will further reduce the number of Australian-owned brewers, after Foster's was bought by Anglo-South African brewer SABMiller in 2011.

Lion is headquartered in Sydney and brews Tooheys, XXXX and James Boag's but was taken over by Japanese brewer Kirin in 2009.

According to research by analysts at IBISWorld, Little World Beverages is the second largest locally-owned brewer behind Cooper's.

It began in Fremantle in 2000 and expanded into Victoria in 2009 with the White Rabbit brewery in Healesville.

The company is building a new brewery in Geelong to support the growing demand for its beers on the east coast.

Lion said it had a strong track record of supporting craft breweries, with the likes of James Squire and Knappstein already under its control.

"We believe there is now a fantastic opportunity through Lion's scale distribution system to get these great brands to more beer lovers, while respecting the craft-brewing ethos of the Little World Beverages brands, breweries and hospitality venues," Lion chief executive Rob Murray said in a statement.

Little World Beverages shares soared on the takeover news, up $1.37, or 36 per cent, at $5.16

Answered: Who is the best CFD provider?

Thu, 14 Jun 2012 05:42:00 +0000

I have tried a few:

CMC Markets:

Archaic platform.
They wiped out my account before I could go into negative equity which was good when $#@! hit the fan in Oct/Nov
Seem to be genuine. No sudden spikes or computer programmed stop loss seeking tricks.
You talk to Aussies, no pesky pommies.

IG Markets:

Best platform for graphs and quick trading.
I had a Low risk guaranteed stop account, but one of the pommie numb skulls opened a non guaranteed stop futures contract. I realised later when I went into negative equity Luckily I partly got out of the loss due to their mistake.
You can open postions on foreign indicies using AUSD.
One mini contract on the SPI is $5 which is steep on small account.
Spread on the ASX 200 cash is only 2 points.
Stop losses are wide, which is a painful . I remember being up $8K on the CBA then an hour later it falling to 1.5K to hit my stop loss.

City Index:

Easy to use.
Nice platform.
Can use Guaranteed stops
Can trade small amounts on anything, unlike IG.
Stop losses can be narrow for quick exits.
Bad - Will let you go into negative equity, and then let it rack up before they margin call you.

Marketech:

They used to allow you to open and close any position at $5. It then went to $10.
you could hold speculators, using no margin or comissions, like Commsec.
They have closed down their brokerage business and transferred their clients to First Prudential so it no longer exists.

Commsec:

This is what I soley use now for just plain old share trading.
It is simple and easy to use. You can keep track of your portfolio and the site is full of info.
They provide CFD's but I have not used them.
Money is backed by the gov guarantee and they have a Cash Management account which will earn you interest.

The 47 brightest localities for rental yields

Mon, 11 Jun 2012 19:22:00 +0000

There are 47 suburbs currently offering property investors gross rental yields of 6% or more with list headed by the remote Queensland mining and agricultural town of Roma, analysis of Smart Investor magazine’s top 601 suburbs list has revealed.

The hotspot list is based on those suburbs where dwelling prices appreciated the greatest over the 12 months to December 2011.

NSW has the highest proportion of high-yielding suburbs with 13, followed by 12 in Queensland, 10 in Victoria, six in Tasmania three in South Australia, two in Western Australia and one in the Northern Territory.

Roma, a town in the western Darling Downs area of south-west Queensland, 515 kilometres west of Brisbane, is currently offering the highest gross rental yield of all 601 suburbs on the list.

Houses in Roma have a gross rental yield of 8.7% with a median price of $300,000 and a median weekly rent of $300.

Next on the list is the small town of Queenstown (just 5,000 people) in the western coast region of Tasmania, where the median house prices is under $90,000.

Weekly median rents in Queenstown are $150, equating to a yield of 8.2%. The town is the home of the West Coast Wilderness Railway, a 35-kilometre journey to Strahan on a 100-year-old steam-powered locomotive as well as a thriving arts community.

NSW’s top-yielding location is also extremely remote – Broken Hill in the NSW outback, where the median house price is just $127,500, the median weekly rent is $200 and the median gross rental yield is 7.5%.

What are the pros and cons of a property investment syndicate vs. just buying property by oneself?

Fri, 01 Jun 2012 19:22:00 +0000

What are the pros and cons of a property investment syndicate vs. just buying property by oneself?

I recently had someone suggest forming a syndicate (just a simple group of 2 to 4 people) to buy real estate, renovate and hold for long term growth.

If I have capacity to buy the property in my own right, is there an advantage to doing it via a syndicate with others? Is a synidcate only useful if don't have capacity to buy in own right?

Other questions come to mind - how do we all access the equity when the property grows? If I organise it all, source the property etc. should I be entitled to some management fee? What would be reasonable?

Short selling ASX options

Mon, 21 May 2012 19:22:00 +0000

Have been reading into this a bit lately.

Sounds like a good idea, an opportunity to make money in both bull and bear markets instead of just bull markets means there are more stocks to make money from.

However, I am interested in people's experiences in the Australian market, which I think is quite different to the US market.

I've noticed Commsec only seems to allow short selling for intraday trading. Not interested in such short term trading. I'm more interested in shorting a falling stock over a longer term, if that's possible.

Daniel Kertcher/Platinum Pursuits - your thoughts?

Mon, 16 Apr 2012 19:22:00 +0000

Something to think about! (source aussiestockforum)
I recently completed the Platinum Pursuits Tradeability Income course presented by Daniel Kertcher. I was quite apprehensive about it, and that wasn’t helped by the negative comments about Daniel and his company on this and other trading forums. However, it is inevitable that anyone who charges thousands for their courses is going to be treated with suspicion, and the content of the course really had me interested, so I decided to part with my $3,200 and do the course. Now I hope here to provide an insightful and unbiased account of the course and its potential to fulfill its promises for anyone who may be considering undertaking it.

Firstly I must say it is disconcerting to me when you get the usual crap on their website saying that you have to get in quick because they limit the courses and if you don’t book early you will miss out, then the presenter proceeds to tell you that they have to charge these ridiculous amounts to cover the costs of holding the seminar (yeah right….). Daniel is a very good salesman, there is no doubt about that, but does his course deliver what it promises? Well, yes….and no.

The Tradeability Income course is basically all about covered calls, however instead of using shares that you already own you buy the equivalent cfd’s to cover your calls. The idea is that you sell well in the money calls (usually the strike is about 10% or so below the share price at the time of entry) so that the share price can drop considerably without it affecting your income from the trade. You then place a guaranteed stop to limit any potential loss and you have a virtually foolproof strategy. You simply deduct the trading costs from the premium you receive from selling the call and that’s your income for the month. And you can do all this in 30 minutes a month, just set and forget. Of course it’s not that simple, regardless of how much Daniel will try to tell you so.

The strategy uses US shares as they have greater liquidity and the options require only 100 shares per contract rather than the 1000 shares required for Aus contracts. As such it enables you to trade this strategy with less capital. It is done on a monthly basis where the positions are closed on option expiry date (Friday), then the next round are opened on the following Monday. So essentially we want every stock to either go up, stay the same, or go down a little. So long as at the end of the month the share price has stayed above the strike (or above the stop loss which is set slightly below the strike) we pocket the income. The risk is if we get a substantial decline like we did in May 10, and find that most or all of our trades get stopped out, we could incur a substantial loss. However this is a long term strategy and the idea is that over time it should generate a good income.

The blurb that I got before I did the course was that for the first 3 months of using this strategy (note: this is a very new strategy that only people who have done Daniels course can do as for the moment there is only 1 broker, IG Markets, who allow the strategy and they will only allow access to Daniels students) the return averaged about 12% per month, annualized to around 150% yearly return. And you can trade using as little as $5,000. Sounds impressive huh? Well, it may not be quite as impressive as it sounds. Firstly, that return was from the 3 months after the big drop in May when volatility was high and the market rallied back strongly. The past few months volatility has dropped off and I would estimate the monthly returns would be closer to 5%. Still not too bad though – 60% beats the banks doesn’t it? Well, yes, but there is a catch (and guess what, they don’t tell you this before you do the course!). That return is based on selling 8 contracts of each option (and buying 800 shares). Now, this strategy trades US shares, and some of them are valued at over $100, with many valued at $60+. Some quick maths – 800 shares in a company trading at $120 is $96,000. If the margin is 10% then you will need to put up $9,600 just for one trade. The idea is to take about 10 trades in order to spread the risk, so if the average price is ,say, $60 and the average margin is 7.5% (some stocks will require 5%, some 10%), then the amount you will need to buy 800 shares of each is $36,000. So unless you have a bank of about $36,000, don’t expect to get the returns they are spruiking. But wait! Guess what? There’s something else they forgot to tell us before doing the course. Those returns are assuming that you invest your entire bank into the trades. But you can’t do that, because you need a buffer in case the shares drop and your margin requirements increase. Daniel recommends investing no more than 40% of your bank. So now, in order to make the sort of money you thought you were going to make you need a bank of $90,000. You can trade with less and still make money, but can you trade with $5,000? No way! I would say the minimum bank you need is $20,000 in order to make it worthwhile. The problem is that once you go below the 800 shares the costs of the trade such as commissions etc eat a bigger hole into the income from the call. And here’s the other thing, those returns don’t include guaranteed stop losses. Daniel doesn’t use them (even though they are one of the big selling points of the course), and if he did the returns would be considerably less. In fact, trading on a bank of $20,000 with the current returns, using a stop loss will turn most trades into a loss, making them pointless to enter.

So, things aren’t looking quite as rosy now. I have been trading this strategy now for 2 months on a $20k bank and have so far only entered 5 trades with an avg return of about $50 per trade. I have made about $250. I have a long way to go to recoup my money invested with Daniel, however I have made money so far. If I had a $100k bank though I could have entered more trades and got better returns, and would probably have already recouped my money. In order to make this strategy more viable for those with a small bank there needs to be more volatility in the market to improve the returns. However that of course comes with extra risk, and without guaranteed stops then one bad trade that gaps well below your stop could significantly impact on your profits and turn your month into a losing one. With increased returns it may then become viable to place guar stops, but of course your returns will be heavily reduced. I was quite nervous when one of my stocks reported a couple of days ago. It was well above my strike, but a gap down of, say, 25% (which it had done not long before) would have well and truly wiped out any profits I had already made. It did gap down about 8%, but thankfully stayed above my stop and then proceeded to go up 15% the next day!

Also, the strategy sounds simple, but beginners will find it very tricky to get to grips with. I have been trading for 8 years and still found it quite nerve-wracking the first time trying to get the returns right. A small move in the share price can turn a reasonable return into a poor one if the option price doesn’t move as well, so you need to be on the ball. You also need to be checking the trades every day because if something goes wrong you have to attend to it. If you get stopped out you need to decide whether to buy back the option or let it go, or possibly purchase another cfd. Also, you need to subscribe to their income report which is about $450 per year (first 4 months free) and you have to purchase MarketAnalyst software for $888 per year because it has the calculator for the covered calls so you can see the return you are getting.

GO markets review

Sun, 08 Apr 2012 19:22:00 +0000

Does anyone here use Go Markets as an fx broker and if so, could you shed some light on the pro's/con's of their service?

Currently with Oanda however I'm not a fan of their withdrawal fees and would much prefer an MT4 platform. Also the ability to trade other instruments with GM is appealing.

I dug up an older thread about them here but that went off-topic pretty quickly and was a few months old, so just interested in hearing fresh new opinions.

In particular, I'm interested in hearing about things like execution time/slippage, reliability, average deposit/withdrawal times, customer support etc.
