At the April meeting of Investment we had an interesting talk by one of our members, Peter Simpson. Peter spoke on selecting shares for dividend income using technical analysis. He illustrated his talk with several graphs of the shares he discussed and supplied us with an informative hand out. Thank you, Peter.
Later in the session we looked at some upward trending stocks that we had examined earlier this year, and noted which ones were still trending upwards. The next meeting of Investment will be on Friday 6th May at 1.15pm in W4. At the March meeting of Investment we looked at some results from the companies Reporting Season in February. We noted that companies that had missed their expected results even by the slightest margin had been severely treated by the market.
Overall since April 2015 the market has tumbled 20%. We looked at other years, namely 2002 and 2012 when a similar decrease in the market had been experienced. We noted that the fall in 2009 had been considerably greater than 20%, and that conditions then had been quite different to what they were during this last decrease. The encouraging aspect in 2016 is that the all ordinaries is now above the 5000 mark. The next meeting of Investment will be on Friday 1st. April at 1.15pm in W4. |
