Current Trades

Sold PPC today and made 12%. BAW is still in a strong upward trend and I am currently up 20%. I have moved my stop loss higher as to preserve more profits but I expect it to be hit tomorrow with it only being 3.9% away from being hit.

Comment: Earning are hedge so falling oil price not a factor but the market is pricing it in.

Tomorrow

I expect the downward trend to continue in resources while local shares could offer buying opportunities. A warrant trade that is short of resources looking better while oil is falling.
