Afternoon trading January 17

Thanks @shovel40, @mirren and morning crew.


Half-time round-up: "ASX Update: Shares ease off eight-month high"

In this report:

• ASX 200 dips 0.2%
• Going up: healthcare, staples, banks, JBH
• Going down: miners, RIO, ORG, HUB, LNK. MCP, BAP
• US futures decline 0.18%

Personal trading: May have unwittingly checked into a 'Hotel California" stock (you can never leave). One of the hazards on low-volume days like this. Death for a day trader.
