While I continue to anticipate a decent pullback in the coming weeks, which is currently unfolding as expected, not all stocks will fall. Last night, the Dow fell to its lowest level in 3 weeks and the ASX200 yesterday made a 4 week low, 3.1% below 2014 highs. However, during this time, a few stocks that I watch have rallied / not fallen and look solid at these levels even considering I believe the overall index has further to fall. A number of our members have asked what I would buy now especially as I may be wrong and markets could go higher as opposed to retracing some of the recent major gains. I have repeated, “be patient” recently with regard to buying stocks in general but if I was 100% in cash I would clearly consider one, or some of the below, just as I have.

The ASX200 was sold off early in the session, as low as -25 points, only to recover throughout the afternoon to close +11 points at 5,420 points, despite news reports that Australia may lose its AAA credit rating from the S&P.

The gaming industry has encountered some significant headwinds over recent weeks, five of which are noted below:

The ASX200 closed +14 points higher, with investors continuing to sit on the sidelines due to indecision as to the direction of this market.

The ASX200 had another strong day led by heavyweights BHP Billiton (BHP) and Commonwealth Bank (CBA), although closed down -2 points at 5,496 as a result of National Australia Bank (NAB), Macquarie Group (MQG) and Westpac Bank (WBC) all going ex-dividend, an equivalent to a -20 point reduction in the index.
