Opinions relating to short-term trades
Shawn’s Trade Idea: Global X Semiconductor ETF (ASX: SEMI) $39.84
We believe the strong appetite for the SK Hynix (SKHYV US) float last week showed strong appetite into current weakness for the semiconductors and further weakness will provide excellent risk-reward in what is a very volatile space, lending itself to short term technical trading.

We start the week with one open position after we were stopped out of Telix (ASX: TLX) and Capricorn Metals (ASX: CMM) In last week’s ongoing choppy trade: Read moreShawn’s Trade Idea: Capricorn Metals Ltd (ASX: CMM) $14.03
We had already written up CMM as our Trade Idea this morning before a bid for gold player Vault Minerals (VAU) from Genesis Minerals (GMD) flashed across our screens. The bid trumps the previous approach from Regis Resources (RRL) putting VAU very much “in play” and the gold sector prime for more M&A activity. Hence, we may struggle to get set this morning.

We start the week with two open positions: Long Xero (XRO) at $71.50, with stops at $70.50, still below our entry. Long Telix Pharma (TLX) at $14.55, with stops at $16.00, well above our entry. Read moreTrading Ideas – Position Updates
We start the week with three open positions: Long Treasury Wine Estates Ltd (TWE) at $4.50 with stops at $4.56, now marginally above our entry. Long ARB Corp (ARB) at $19.66, with stops at $18.64. Long Telix Pharma (TLX) at $14.55, with stops at $14.90, again marginally above our entry. Read moreShawn’s Trade Idea: Xero Ltd (ASX: XRO) $69.05
XRO has been by far the most actively traded stock in our trading ideas section, with four attempts yielding a net small profit - not too bad with the stock having fallen 67% in the last 12-months. However, ideally we like to buy stocks/markets in an uptrend that are correcting but XRO has tempted us on occasion, looking for a sharp bounce. Again, we’re targeting a bounce, in line with earlier discussions towards the software stocks outperforming the AI Trade in the coming weeks. Read moreTelix Pharma Ltd (ASX: TLX) $15.73
Telix caught the markets attention yesterday popping +8% on no major news. However, with a sizeable short position (12.6%) still outstanding and the stock already up around 40% year-to-date, the potential for a sharp short squeeze remains high. Read moreShawn’s Trade Idea: Telix Pharma Ltd (ASX: TLX) $14.50
Similar to the retailers, healthcare has performed strongly this month and after a tough 12-moints we can see some bargain hunting entering TLX which has been hurt by regulatory setbacks rather than operational performance, i.e. FDA delays, an SEC investigation into pipeline disclosures and elevated investor expectations combined to trigger a sharp de-rating, despite continued strong growth from its flagship imaging franchise.

We start the week with two positions: Long Treasury Wine Estates Ltd (TWE) at $4.50 with stops at $4.24, around 6% risk. Long Xero (XRO) at $76.50 with stops at $73.00, around 5% risk. Read moreActions relating to short-term trades
