Latest Market Matters Opinions
Light & Wonder (LNW) $118
LNW: +3.96%: delivered a mixed but ultimately encouraging second-quarter result, with revenue missing expectations but earnings, margins and adjusted EPS all coming in ahead. Shares were higher, though they lost some of their early gains. Important to note LNW is also coming off a low base, confirmation that the group remains on track for its 2028 targets should help to support the shares moving forward.

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
