Opinions relating to short-term trades

26/10/2026 09:43

Shawn’s Trade Idea: Global X Copper Miners ETF (ASX: WIRE) $20.61

We’ve discussed copper stocks several times in today’s report, and we bought RIO on Friday, STI is looking to benefit from a spike lower in the coming days/weeks.

26/10/2026 09:42

Trading Ideas – Position Updates

We start the week with three open positions - stops have all been lifted after enjoying another strong week, although it was frustrating to see Cleanaway Waste soar more than 20% on M&A news shorty after we were stopped out.

19/10/2026 09:39

Shawn’s Trade Idea: Global X Semiconductor ETF (ASX: SEMI) $35.70

This is potentially our second foray into the SEMI ETF in recent months, we believe the ETF will break its July swing low but how far it then falls is a coin toss with our initial buy level equating to a similar fall as we saw in June & July.

19/10/2026 09:38

Trading Ideas – Position Updates

We start the week with four open positions, with stops lifted after enjoying a strong week:

12/10/2026 09:48

Trading Ideas – Position Updates

We start the week with six open positions;

12/10/2026 09:47

Shawn’s Trade Idea: No new ideas this week with 6 open positions in play

However, we do continue to like recovery stocks in the coming months for sharp gains, such as Harvey Norman (HVN) and ARB Corp Ltd (ARB) - see below.

06/10/2026 09:36

Shawn’s Trade Idea: Elders Ltd (ASX: ELD) $6.21

We were stopped out of Elders last Friday but Mondays reversal higher is affording us another chance to get some decent risk/reward from the stock, even if we have to pay more to re-enter - we must always remember that egos add no value to either investing or trading!

06/10/2026 09:35

Shawn’s Trade Idea: SEEK Ltd (ASX: SEK) $11.87

If MM is correct and the ASX can rally back above 9000 we see the gains being largely driven by the miners and some bargain hunting in beaten up stocks, e.g. SEEK has more than halved from its 2025 high. The stock is now trading more than 40% below its average 5-year valuation leaving plenty of room for a bounce, especially if bond yields stop rising.

06/10/2026 09:34

Trading Ideas – Position Updates

We start the week with three open positions, note the stops have been raised:

28/09/2026 09:44

Shawn’s Trade Idea: Treasury Wine Estates (ASX: TWE) $5.42

This is our second foray into TWE, frustratingly we were stopped out at $4.56 in July, though this doesn’t mean we can’t re-enter at higher levels if the signals are strong. This is clearly a recovery play but with the added spice of a potential takeover bid following the emergence of European billionaire Olivier Goudet (former CFO of Mars, former CEO of JAB Holding) as a 9% shareholder via his investment vehicle Platin SARL earlier in 2026.
