Opinions relating to short-term trades
Shawn’s Trade Idea: Nvidia (NVDA US)
We liked Nvidia’s result last week, but the demanding markets were looking for more, sending the stock down around 4% on Thursday and Friday. Our bid is around 5% below Friday's close and may not get filled, but we feel that in the current market, chasing strength is fraught with danger. Read moreTrading Ideas – Position Updates
There are currently three bullish open trade ideas: Read moreShawn’s Trade Idea: Regis Resources (RRL) $4.07
RRL fell 9% on Friday despite record cash flow and earnings on stronger gold prices. The issue was soft FY26 guidance, including lower production and higher costs, a bad combination. However, further washout style selling should deliver attractive risk/reward buying, with gold poised to trade above $US3,500. Read moreTrading Ideas – Position Updates

Copper has been one of our preferred bullish views through 2025 and as China starts to offer a supporting hand to the industrial metal, compounding the tailwind from AI and global electrification, the outlook is looking increasingly rosy. Read moreShawn’s Trade Idea: Fortescue Metal (FMG) $18.85
FMG is gathering momentum on the upside as the iron ore price defies gravity, remaining above $US100/MT, and the miner refocuses on its knitting—shipping iron ore most cost-effectively to China. Read moreTrading Ideas – Position Updates

I believe the risk/reward towards the URNM ETF is attractive if we see a spike below $8 over the coming week. Read moreTrading Ideas – Position Updates
