Investing is often seen as being all about return. However, all returns are not the same! All too often, investors make the big mistake – the rookie error of selecting their investment strategy or approach based solely on return. How can looking at the return be a mistake? Looking at the return is not the mistake, ONLY looking at return is the mistake. For example, rather than just the percentage return, how volatile a return was it. You see, a strategy may have the capacity to generate a 30 or even 40% return for a month, but in achieving that, may have a very high volatility of return. You may make 30% but you could lose everything. This type of strategy would be typically speculative and one to avoid, unless you enjoy higher risks. Also important is the probability of return. In other words, how often are you right, versus how often are you wrong. While past performance is no guarantee of future performance, it can help in stress testing your strategy ...

  There is nothing more frustrating than   missing a trade . For almost 20 years, since I joined the industry, this is a statement that remains every bit as true today, as it did back then. I often hear clients calling into my trading floor, several hours or sometimes even a day or two, too late to get set on a trading opportunity that has been and gone. The frustration in their voice says it all as they wish they had taken action earlier. However, we also know that sometimes, answering the call from the broker or responding to a message can get swallowed up in the daily to do list that we all have to face each day.

  Quite simply after a couple of years sitting in cash, fixed interest and bonds, the appetite for the share market is returning.  Based on a recent Investment Management survey conducted by HSBC, 75% of global managers surveyed were holding an overweight view toward equities.  Part of this may be attributable to more positive sentiment toward the global economy. Interesting statistic, but here’s the thing – what are you going to do? After a period of time where uncertainty and nervousness has effectively corralled investors into saving, at the expense of both property and shares, is it time for you to get back in? The answer, in my opinion, is a resounding yes.  That said, with care and caution as to what stocks to hold as always. Looking locally at the Australian market , for example, the push up in iron ore prices from $90 USD to $145 USD, saw BHP drift down to around $30.70 – currently sitting at $37.16 (24 th Jan close).  That, by ...

The past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of events and headlines for markets to digest. Performance has been mixed and headline to headline trading has returned to the fore as investors’ nerves have become challenged by the uncertainty of change What is Major and what is noise? The Major factors to consider are the prospects for Brexit and the Fed’s decision to sometime raise US Interest rates. “Brexit” is the term given to the Britain’s possible withdrawal from the European Union. Riding on the wave of populism, giving the voters the choice Prime Minister, David Cameron locked in a date for the vote – next week! The dangers are significant – populism and perception will make the case to leave very strong, in many voters minds. Equally the economic consequences of this are significant, albeit unknown as this is a first. Growing up and starting my career in the UK, my perceptions may be a little jaded, but on the surface, what was the EEC (Now EU) has changed imm...

 There is no question that the start of the year has brought with it, a renewed sentiment toward the stock market. The bulls are back!! As discussed over previous weeks, falling cash rates have no doubt prompted investors to seek returns elsewhere – the market being a logical place. However, this isn’t simply a New Year phenomenon. The Australian Equity markets have risen by more than 19% since June last year. A recent survey of fund managers also showed an increased weighting toward the stock market too, underpinning this move up. So what about further growth for the Australian Equity Markets? Looking at some of the benchmark stocks we follow, Wesfarmers (owner of Coles, Bunnings, Kmart et al) reported stronger customer levels over the Christmas period. In its announcement today, sales for the 6 months to December, were up 4.7% on last year with similar gains in liquor sales too. Bunnings also posted similar gains in sales over this time frame. Any revisions up of...
