The local market has moved up nicely over the past month and has stalled after getting close to the previous high. Another rate rise passed on by the banks is taking away some festive cheer with the index falling through the short-term trendline. We sold short four ASX 200 cfd’s after the open and sold half the GEAR ETF.

The US S@P 500 has again turned back at the downtrend line. Perhaps a correction is coming if the upward trendline and recent low is broken.

The price of gold has found the $1800 price level both a support and resistance zone. Will any decline move back to $1700.

IDP Education fell out of the consolidation pattern and our stop so we sold.

Dicker Data moved down a little last week closer to the breakout and we bought some for the educational portfolio.

Nickel Industries may have stalled for now.

Technology One is trading at fresh highs.

Commonwealth Bank is looking a little toppish trading at the higher end of this large sideways pattern and having turned down at these levels previously.

QBE Insurance looks to be holding fresh highs despite massive flooding around the country.

Speculators are loving the idea behind Talga of a vertically integrated graphite anode manufacturer and miner.

A2 Milk looks to be edging higher after forming a rounding type bottom.

Fletcher Building looks to be posturing for a breakout.

Volatile stock Mesoblast has again moved above resistance at the $1 level.
