Thank you for the guidance. I prefer strong balance sheets and low debt companies. I also like to avoid glamour stocks. In other words today’s popular hot stocks. I am reading some books and getting some great ideas these days. As you said there could be hidden gems.

Everything is screaming cheap bar the few big caps that drive the indexes and confuse you.

My earlier explanatory post went right over your head.

When do you propose you'll get a better shot at world class value stocks than right now."

Wow - that is an absolutely genius idea!

Can we buy BRK through Craigs Kiwi saver? Can we invest 100% in one company in that kiwi saver?

Alluvial Q1

'Small company shares remain out-of-favor compared to those of large companies. Despite thisquarter’s gain, the gulf between our securities’ trading prices and their intrinsic values is as largeas I have ever observed. Fourth quarter 2022 earnings were very good overall, but the market’sreaction to even the best news was muted. In response, I made some moves in our portfolio thisquarter, selling out of one holding and adding a few others'.

Crazy. Buying some shares for the kids this morning. Place a limit buy @ 2.50 pre open and it places the bid halfway down the queue at $2.36??

I wonder if the bid was 2.36 when you placed your limit order. Sharesies, in there wisdom, gave you the "best" price @ 2.36. Subsequently the bid moved higher and your order stayed where it was at 2.36

The match price at the time was $2.50... The high bid was something like $2.65

No harm done as the open ended up higher in the end anyway so out of the running... but it basically means you can't place a bid at you're limit pre open and take advantage of a match price

Ahh i see. Thats a but crap then - you put a limit order in that situation you expect it to be placed at the level.
