Capital gains around the corner , probably the least of their worries in this bear market ,some could get a rebate

Wonder how many times a year the Taxman will tolerate the same holdings being swapped from 'On Capital
Account" to on "Revenue Account" before switching back according to the whims & splutters on seeing the Bear passing nearby ?

Oh dear its not for the faint hearted ,and most people learn the hard way I think I have . Diversification for safety
On that point is there anyone whom doesn't diversify whom just go all in so to speak I have never known that .!!

I'm well diversified with 4 stocks, a house plus a wife and a dog.

If times get really tough and you had to let one of the above seven go, which would it be?

Using TA to time entries and exits (sharetrader.co.nz)

Pure Gold that thread. KW made a MASSIVE contribution in her time on here. Everyone should read through that thread.

Balance - you posted a video earlier in the year from the CEO or founder of some company like Fidelity or Charles Schwab that gave an awesome speech about recessions and the ups and downs of the markets. I can't find it anywhere - can you post it again here? It was great.

Wow, that's a spooky prophecy made over 8 years ago. #39 in that thread.

Watching CNBC this morning they put up a chart of the Nasdaq and it showed a very clear head and shoulders pattern with all the risk too drop off from the right shoulder. With the Russian / Ukranian situation potentially affecting European stocks and having world-wide trading implications, (one of their expert analysts after just coming back from the Ukaraine thought that it seems almost inevitable that Russia will invade eastern Ukaraine), its hard to see very high PE and no PE stocks, (i.e.like those trading on nothing but thin air and promises and future sales growth with no demonstatable proven profit record) not getting their wings clipped as a rotation towards value stocks and safe havens gathers momentum. Well run, moderatly geared high dividend REIT's look like a good place to hide, as is good old fashioned cash or short term high quality bonds.
