Editor: All Too Good To Be True?

3 May, 2004

After holding its head high for several weeks and demonstrating a mind of its own, the All Ords caved in and followed Uncle Sam down on Thursday taking a 42 point caning. The big hit was not so much because of on-going fears of a rate rise as that is now an old story, but rather a wake up call on global growth when China made a notion they would be moderating their growth rate. Not a big deal really when you consider the Chinese economy grew at 9% in 2003 and will probably turn in a rate close to 8% in 2004. Not bad when you consider the world’s largest economy (the USA) will grow this year at about 4.5% and struggling Europe at less than 2%.

Editor: Happy Birthday To Us All

5 Apr, 2004

And so say all of us, us, us. Yes Trading Tutors Newsletter is now one year old and what an enjoyable 12 months it’s been – I will not say how time has flown as that will date me. I believe I can say on behalf of the Trading Tutors team that you have been a great readership and a pleasure to write for.

Editor: Just A St Paddy's Day Hangover?

22 Mar, 2004

After my last week’s call – or at least suggestion – that the Dow could fall to 9,500 and I watched the index climb in the early part of the week, although doubt had not quite set in but I did reel back and contemplate that it was a solid call. However, after St Paddy’s day in the US had passed and the hangover set in, nobody was buying in the States and the market fell and continued to slide for the rest of the week.

Editor: Back To The Future Can Be Scary

8 Mar, 2004

Meeting that 'ex' again, revisiting that restaurant that gave you food poisoning and so many other experiences in life can impact greatly on how we 'feel' about life's aspects. Good and bad experiences are remnant on our emotional sub conscience hard drive – rarely does it get lost like that critical document you can’t find on your computer.

Editor: You Are Superior

16 Feb, 2004

Why do TT readers outperform the market? Well this is an assertion on my part but I have a strong sense this is an accurate statement - we will see if we can't do a survey at some point in time to confirm this.

Editor: Risk Management Is Key

9 Feb, 2004

Well poor Frank slid down the slippery corporate slide - obviously had not taken time out to read TT a few weeks ago. But over looking risk management can be costly to us all in business. Yes it is important to treat investing as a business.

Editor: Come, Throw The Dice

2 Feb, 2004

One TT reader raised some very good issues about IPO's. A very topical subject as it is likely we will see an avalanche of them over the coming year – the good the bad and the ugly.

Editor: Don't Bet Against The Market

27 Jan, 2004

The so called NAB rogue traders were betting the Aussie would fall back in October 2003 when it was trading at about 70c. I can understand some people having a very different view to the market at any one time.

Editor: Frank, Beware The Slippery Slide

19 Jan, 2004

I will probably get a phone call from a certain relative who works at NAB, after they read this week’s TT. It would not be the first curt phone call I have received after naming a company in my editorial. Yes – we are without fear of favour!

Editor: Beware The Dog Theory

12 Jan, 2004

The Dow had a good pull back last Friday – "employment figures" the so called reason why, is not so relevant. If you have a look at a daily DOW chart you will note that it has had a sharp rise since the 3rd week of November, not to speak of the splendid rise since March.
