Best of luck to all entrants! :D ]]> ASX Stock Chat Joe Blow http://www.aussiestockforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26814 Govt. Bonds listing on the ASX today http://www.aussiestockforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26796&goto=newpost Mon, 20 May 2013 16:52:59 GMT So, Bonds are about to start trading as etf's on the ASX from today, am interested what this might mean and for some general insight into bonds.

Here is the link to the codes and bond details.

http://australiangovernmentbonds.gov.../list-of-etbs/

The interest rates seem to vary quite widely, even with similar expiry dates, is this the quality of the bond?

Am I right in that upon expiry the Govt will pay $100 per bond, so if in effect the bond is trading at $110 at expiry you lose $10 per bond? Conversly if it's trading at $90 you make $10?

As best as I understand it if RBA rates drop the face value of the bond will rise and if RBA rates rise the face value will decrease, so currently, over the longer term, one could argue there is greater downside risk than upside?

How would people compare the risk of a Govt bond Versus a Bank deposit in terms of risk / loss of capital?

it says FMG's intrinsic value is $2.2 . now is trading $3.5 it's overpriced !

it also says CCL intrinsic value is $12 now is trading around $12.8 which is roughly in line with its intrinsic value.


Question: how reliable is those online broker comment ?? like the one I have NABTrade, i think it's originally source from morning star commentary.

how does intrinsic value determined ? or even if intrinsic value reliable ? ]]> ASX Stock Chat scha9799 http://www.aussiestockforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26786 <![CDATA[RIO & NCM: Hold or Sell?]]> http://www.aussiestockforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26781&goto=newpost Thu, 16 May 2013 00:36:46 GMT Hi guys looking for some advice Got Rio @ $56.2 (thinking of holding) NCM $17.05 can anyone give me some advice on these? should i...

Actually, I've never heard of the term before but it is in investopedia:

The author doesn't go on to explain exactly why low inflation is bad for the economy other than that it might lead to deflation. ]]> ASX Stock Chat tinhat http://www.aussiestockforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26780 Market Manipulation: What the hell is going on? http://www.aussiestockforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26746&goto=newpost Thu, 09 May 2013 00:53:41 GMT *_ Who is manipulating share prices on the stock market - in particular LINC ENERGY ?_* It has been a very crazy, frustrating ride with LNC over... Who is manipulating share prices on the stock market - in particular LINC ENERGY ?

It has been a very crazy, frustrating ride with LNC over the past few years ? Many people have voiced concerns about systemic short selling and conflicts of interest with large financial institutions. Along the way investors have lost not only their fingers but arms legs and everything in between.

One particular investor has taken the trouble to investigate and document what has happened with LNC shares from 2010 - 2013. Its a long read but IMO well worth the time. Far more significantly however it opens the question of market manipulation and the role that ASIC or other financial institutions should take to ensure transparency in the marketplace.

The researcher does not focus solely on LNC. If you followed CUDECO with much frustration in the past few years you can check out the analysis on that share

Where do we go to from here ?

If you entered, but were not included in the competition this month, it is because you didn't meet the qualifying criteria for some reason.
