So I was sitting in the car listening to the radio and all the chatter was about the current crisis in the diary industry which people seem to be suggesting is the result of corporate bastardry on behalf of groups like Fonterra. At the outset I have to state that I know nothing about primary…
Behavioural Finance – An Introspection Of Investor Psychology from Trading Game Pty Ltd
I am still beavering away looking at changes in the S&P/ASX200 over time – it is a time consuming exercise as with all things Australian quality data is hard to come by. Both Standard and Poors and the ASX are friggen hopeless when it comes to providing useful hard core data for traders. However, the…
I mentioned in this piece that I should get around to looking at the original versus current components of the S&P/ASX 200 just to get a sense of index turnover. As a prelude to this I cobbled together a rough first look at the S&P/ASX 50 to see how much what I would consider to…
When I was much much younger and beginning to fully express my childish liking for cars I bought a Series 2 RX7, which I then had worked on. At the same time a friend of mine bought an Alfa GTV and he used to make disarranging remarks about my rice burner. However, within a month…
When referring to why some people are successful I often think of the analogy of a stone in the shoe. It seems to me that some people just have a stone in their shoe that keeps them moving forward, something inside them irritates them away from contentment with whatever they are doing, so they move…

Perhaps this is why people dont like to train with me…. Click the pic for the full video. PS: For those interested in this sort of thing Google what is known as the Tabata Protocol. This is based upon work done by Prof Izumi Tabata whose original work laid the basis for much of the…
I have posted this before in a different format but it just occurred to me when seeing it again that Jim Simons is supposed to be retired. He is not doing too badly for someone who is spending his days either gardening or down at the local bowls club. More here – Washington Post

I wrote a little while ago about the need to be aware of the history of markets and their propensity to go nowhere for significant periods of time. This sort of saga is unfolding in the US with their markets making no real gain for some 18 months. The US seems to be range bound…
I have cobbled together a few dodgy sources to build a 35 year graph of the total returns (includes dividends) for the ASX 200. The S&P/ASX 200 only came into being in 2000 so some of the data is of a composite nature. The thing that is always interesting about this is how little damage…
