Latest Market Matters Opinions
What Mattered Today
It’s days like this that reinforce the importance of staying invested, participating in markets despite the negative headlines and bearish rhetoric, and, above all, remaining patient. With SPI futures flat this morning, investors took the bull by the horns, buying equities and pushing the ASX to its highest level since March as easing oil prices encouraged a rotation back into growth stocks, banks and healthcare. The rally was broad, with nine of the eleven sectors finishing higher and the local market comfortably outperforming modest gains in US futures. Read moreOnly available to Members

Question asked
The psychology of investingHi James My question: given so many active investors underperform the market, how do you overcome the emotions ? An example of my thoughts is as follows: A year ago I liked the Australian Eastern Gas story (shortages, ready market etc) and decided to buy a few Elixir Energy at 4 cents. They steadily rose and after the Iran US war the price went to 16. Whilst I believed in the story I sold. 4x my money! The price has now fallen 50%to 8 cents. Was it dumb luck or great research? Probably a mix of both. I consider myself a medium term trader and am trying to understand the best way to trade. They say fear of loss outweighs other emotions, any winnings are justified as the investors cleverness. Most investors sell too soon but then no one wants to get caught holding a dud. I expect there are many articles and books on this subject - can you refer any you think are particularly worthwhile? Perhaps you could highlight a set of rules a disciplined investor should follow.
Question asked
How do bond traders make money?Hi, My understanding is that the bond market is many times bigger than the equities market. So how do bond traders make money? Do they simply buy bonds and then try to sell them for more than they paid, or do they try to buy them for a "good" price and hold them to maturity while getting paid the interest along the way? Cheers, Carl
