Buying opportunities!

Buy when theres blood on the streets. Thats the approach to long term killings on the stock market.

I'm observing closely and will probably begin buying when I see hints of a bottom.

It may be the last big opportunity to get into good value stocks at bargain prices.

One mans misery is anothers fortune.
 
I was in Europe when the DOW drooped from over 14 thousand into the mid 6 thousand. I was watching CNN daily and remember, financial advisers at CNN almost daily announced how fantastic buying opportunity that is today, from 12 thousand all the way down to 6.5. Finally after 400 incorrect call they nailed it once.
 
They'll be some margin calls made today no doubt - glad all my shares are owned outright would hate to be staring at the red waiting for a margin call to come in.
 
Bought gold shares. Drop in AUD should provide some relief... Add that with a likely stimulus from US (Don't think they have a choice now)... and a very very likely default by Italy.

Chief concern now is Italy... to avoid default they need sharp growth.

Bought Mutiny Gold (MYG). Very undervalued even with recent good results. Recently had a CR at 9.6c and raised around 9m. Target price 30c
 
I'm keeping an eye on BOQ. They hit a 2 year low this morning :P

GFC2 or bust!

However, don't let the excitement of leveraged traders running away cloud your judgement.
This ain't the bottom yet. ;)

Can't agree more. Have some friends who moaned almost daily for weeks about the price of their shares, then wept when the margin calls come in. Emptied their bank accounts, ran up their credit cards, borrowed from their kids education fund (and their puggy banks), then sold off what they actually owned. Overleveraged to buggery - and that's exactly what happened to them - buggered. Sad to watch. I didn't have the heart to remind them of the way they crowed about how well they were doing because they leveraged their share portfolio - guaranteed profit.

Put BEN on your watch list as well. They tend to trade parallel with BOQ.
 
WOW!!!! - a sea of red today - strangely thou the banks only dropped on average about 3% - good times ahead for the cashed up.... hope BHP drops to $20 again and revisit the 2008 GFC prices

I think a lot of the shorter term prices for metals and stock market could very much depend on how quickly Bernanke brings in QE3.

What kind of mileage will they get out of that though? The answer is longer than we think. Although they seem to be effective for ever shorter periods and we creep closer to the economic blackhole, there is a temporal paradox at play here. To quote Ashvin Pandurangi:

The biggest economies (Observer A) are closest to the event horizon of financial capitalism, since they have the highest levels of unproductive debt sitting on their private and public balance sheets. Their citizenry is being systematically poisoned by excessive debt, collapsing revenues, unprecedented bailouts, subsidies, taxes, regulatory oppression, unemployment, speculative inflation, etc., but it is also a very slow death. Relative to an Observer B, such as the Egyptians, Irish or Greek, the populations of these countries do not feel that their lives have significantly changed in the last few years or even decades, despite the changes most certainly taking place.

The time dilation effect has smoothed over these changes to make them appear much less drastic. Almost all asset markets in the U.S., Europe and China are now wholly subsidized by their respective governments/central banks, but the taxpayers fail to recognize that the bill was drafted in their names and will come due well within their lifetimes.

Thanks for the finger on the pulse stuff.

Will keep an eye on the stocks mentioned.

We will see where the US markets go when they open for their Friday.

A couple of other Aussie stocks that I have visite in the past & keep an eye on are:

BOW down 9% @ 96c

SBM down 4.5% @ $1.70

any other mining/energy stocks?
