The local market continues the sideways funk with a spike low last week giving some indication of market strength.

We bought Audinate as it moved above the $8 level.  The weekly chart shows a nice break out of consolidation. Possible resistance around the old high could put the brakes on a larger rise however a strong move above that high could see the stock go on another run with an equal range off the low giving an initial target of around $11. Time will tell.

We were stopped out of Western Areas which has done little since we took initial profits.

A few stocks in the educational portfolio like Capitol Health and Cooper Energy have not moved much and will be culled from the portfolio.

Polynovo was one stock on the “Shorter’s” list at the recent Hearts and Minds Investment conference.

Nickel Mines was a stock seen in a much more positive light by one of the presenters.

You can always buy the Hearts and Minds Investments shares which are up 26 per cent over the past year.

Integrated Research is forming an interesting consolidation pattern on the weekly chart.
