Are we able to sue ASB securities for a complete and utter f-up like this? A reckon a class action is in order.
dinasour system they havnt been investing in it for long time i reckon , trades are not electronic for nz. someone still manually assese it lol so to not upset the integrity of the exchange on stock movement.
P/Es have been ridiculous for years. Remember when the NZ market was cheap back in the 90s-early 2000s when many companies were trading on P/Es under 10 and even the super growth stocks were considered expensive if they went over 20 P/E.
Some of the ones now are on P/E of 60. Which implies they would need to lose more than half their value to be a fair price in a bear market.
Again low interest rates have an influence though, which is why we will probably not see those sort of drops.
I think there could be a quick rebound to all this, the public will be hanging out for some shopping/spending/partying once this virus is out the way. Cancelled holidays will be rebooked and we will all feel lucky to be alive.
There are still good stocks on the NZX trading at very modest PE ratios.
A sucker rally is actually when the Instos etc talk it up and sell off the rest of the shares they want to get rid of to small retail suckers.
Yeah they will use the bots to make it look like a good trading entry point, join in for a bit then when the price is up quickly switch sides and drive it back down. Might not work yet though, just too many sellers about
