Opinions relating to short-term trades

18/05/2026 09:38

Shawn’s Trade Idea: Buy Betashares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF (ASX: ATEC) at $18.40

It would have been easy this week to stand on the sidelines but instead we’ve laid a trap per se, in line with our view that the “AI Disruption” trade is going too far but downside momentum remains - note we may pay up if not filled early this week.

18/05/2026 09:37

Trading Ideas – Position Updates

We start the week with one open positions: Long Fortescue Limited (ASX: FMG) at $21.02, initially targeting $23.50, with stops at $21.40.

11/05/2026 08:57

Shawn’s Trade Idea: Buy Fortescue Limited (ASX: FMG) $21.27

We believe the risk/reward towards FMG is attractive targeting the $25 area, or 15-20% higher.

11/05/2026 08:56

Trading Ideas – Position Updates

We start the week with one open positions: Long Xero Limited (ASX:XRO) at $75.28, initially targeting the $90 area, with stops at $80.20

04/05/2026 09:18

Shawn’s Trade Idea: Buy Insurance Australia Group (ASX:IAG) at $7.70

We discussed IAG a few weeks ago Here flagging a potential rally towards $9, following last weeks breakout to fresh 11-week highs the technical picture is confirming the set-up.

04/05/2026 09:17

Trading Ideas – Position Updates

We start the week with two open positions:

28/04/2026 09:09

Shawn’s Trade Idea: Buy Eagers Automotive Ltd (ASX:APE) at $23.20

APE has looked good through April being a major beneficiary of increasing EV sales which we discussed earlier in the month Here. The consolidation over the last few weeks, even as the ASX retreated, is a very encouraging sign for the bulls.

20/04/2026 08:53

Trading Ideas – Position Updates

We start the week with two open positions and all previous resting bids cancelled: Long the Global X Copper Miners ETF (ASX:WIRE) at $20.98 with stops at $23.20. Long Xero Ltd (ASX:XRO) at $75.28 with stops at $77.40.

20/04/2026 08:52

Shawn’s Trade Idea: Buy Mineral Resources Ltd (ASX:MIN) at $62.65

Mineral Resources looks great at the moment, targeting the $70 area, or ~10% above Fridays close. With this mornings potentially soft open we see an opportunity to “buy the dip” but with two long positions already in play we are placing our bid ~1.5% below Fridays close, remembering this can be a volatile stock.
