It seems to me that overvalued stocks are going to have big sell-off sooner than later. Time to stay with hidden gems and quality stocks with attractive valuation.

ERD is a train wreck, SML has continued to be a basketcase since they started on their PC clean green machine garbage approach to running a company, THL will be great long term but has not shone through, and SAN has done the opposite of what I thought it would do since buying at the start of COVID.
Fortunately, my ASX investments have kept my head above water and my reputation with my wife intact.
Just gimmie 10%, oh please kind sir, I deserve some bread and water too
asx getting pummelled today , could slip back into its 2 yr range meaning it was a fake breakout therefore your mega short might go gangbusters

Hopefully the RBNZ is smart enough to know these two significant items just suck money out of the economy and will slow the demand for 'things'. They would be smart to ignore these distortions from the core inflation numbers. But are they smart?
On another note, I see the VIX is only marginally higher & is trading around the five year average, so for all the global tension, the VIX is treating it as trading pretty much as usual.

New Zealand's annual inflation rate dropped to 4% in March, from 4.7% in December, albeit rents, house construction costs and council rates continued rising.
The Consumers Price Index (CPI) increased just 0.6% in the March quarter, up from 0.5% in the previous period.
The CPI measures changes in the prices paid by households for goods and services which provides insight into inflationary trends in NZ’s economy.
Statistics NZ said on Wednesday the price increases in the March quarter were the smallest since June 2021.
“However, they remain above the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s target range of 1% to 3%,” Stats NZ senior manager Nicola Growden said.
Annual inflation still came in higher than what the Reserve Bank (RBNZ) was expecting as the central bank had forecast annual inflation to decrease to 3.8% in the March quarter.
Westpac and Kiwibank economists had cast 4.2% as their expected annual inflation rate, ASB picked 4.1% while ANZ went for 4% and BNZ came lowest at 3.9%.

RBNZ likes the trimmed-mean number
Stats NZ says-
The trimmed-mean measures – which excludes extreme price movements – ranged from 4.4 to 4.6 percent in the 12 months to March 2024 quarter. This indicates that underlying inflation is higher than the 4.0 percent increase in the CPI
