Market Crash 2025

[divs4ever]

Vix says a little different perhaps. Stabilising?
Daily and monthly.

but isn't the real money playing zero-day options ?

maybe the VIX is an abandoned indicator ( like the 200 day moving average )

So the Yanks are going gangbusters again....

What can go wrong ?



gg

So , what was the last half year about? A couple of nasty wars, torpid economies, a U.S president determined to make things up as we go along, a new govt here that seems bereft of ideas and energy.

Thankfully there's a stock market. BYE the dips.


.
In my name, took out dividends and added one small position. And SMSF is similar

So roughly flat on last 6 months?

throwing off enough dividends , that's what I care about. ... Point to point performance is abstract, and meaning less and less as time passes.

mine were mangled by take-overs and the TRS one to start the second half in a similar manner

my major concern is my best-performed stocks are trading at ridiculous values in many classes , and are probably not sustainable , even No. 2 holding WES and No. 3 holding MQG look over-priced currently

have shuffled and tweaked as best i can ( to recycle the take-over proceeds )

but 'set and forget ' is almost a 'Game Of Thrones ' strategy in the current market

a fair point , but some of my juicy positions were swallowed up by predators looking for cash-flow

i was chasing a 'livable income ' as well but achieving that is harder than it looks

Take the Money & run ha ha....you can always buy back in when the market eventually reacts & comes back to a more reasonable valuation!

I'm up a quite a bit for the year in my super fund. About 10% not counting my contributions (which adds another 4%).
It's good being able to switch to stable when required. Costly to do that if you run your own super.

Trading costs. Capital Costs.
