A few technical observations finish off the section and will hopefully keep you amused whilst not much happens.

No need to be buying into the current trend. Happy to be cashed up in the RBP and cashed up a bit in the FUFU and DAF portfolios. We've cleared out the IDEAS PORTFOLIO except for a holding in DMP.  Sitting back waiting for the market to decide if Omicron is a problem or a hiccup.

Powell back in with a mandate to contain inflation. Rates rise, the US dollar rises and Gold and Technology stocks fall. Hopes for Chinese policy easing boosts iron ore stocks. We may have timed the bottom on that after all. Gold on the nose as inflation war begins. The CBA are telling us mortgage rates are going up and the housing market will peak.  Chinese Tech on the nose again.  Robinhood's shareholders going from rich to poor.  BHP and Woodside sign the deal and the prices pop. Australian Tech having a bad day.

Routine day. CBA disappoints - like WBC. NIM down and losing home loan market share, presumably to Macquarie. No change to strategy. US$ pops giving resources a dull day. Good for international stocks but not commodity prices. Biden-Xi chat lands well. We've added a new stock to the IDEAS PORTFOLIO.  Have also published a WATCHLIST which might interest some of you.
