The local market continues the sideways consolidation.

The US based Dow Jones Index tells a slightly different story with a recent fresh break to new highs at the start of a traditionally strong period for this market.

The price of gold took a 3 per cent tumble last week on relatively weaker weekly volume. Could we see a December low closer to the breakout?

The table below was sent to Charlie and was taken from an online post showing the difference between superannuation funds and the All Ordinaries total return index and the “net” gains over these different timeframes. On quite a few superannuation comparison websites there is no option to compare a total return index or ETF. Hmmm wonder why?

The chart below is that of the All Ordinaries accumulation index showing the power of compounding at work where new highs were reached in late 2013 after the depths of the GFC.

The All Ordinaries Index without the dividends took a lot longer to make a fresh high after the GFC.

We bought Platinum Asset Management last week as it broke through a resistance level. Price has formed a small ABC pattern which could see higher prices coming. Time will tell.

Computershare is also making a nice-looking pattern after breaking the downtrend line.

EML Payments recently bought Prepaid Financial Services which will expand their European footprint and announced a capital raising to help fund the purchase.

Data#3 looks to have found support and looks to be set for another move higher.

Mayne Pharma has made a nice ABC pattern on the weekly chart.

Bravura has just moved through the downtrend line after bouncing up from a potential support zone.
