The ASX gave away some modest early gains, getting that Friday selloff going early sliding down 0.5%. Utilities the worst of the bunch falling 1.3%, while IT again leading the ASX up 0.8%.
Ainsworth Game Technology (AGI) this main culprit this morning, halving its six-month profit forecast on competitive pressure and delays in regulatory approval for its products, its shares initially down around 20%, has extended those loses, continuing to tumble over 35% to a six year low. The banks once again back to being a weight on the market too.
In the US of A, Tesla again grabbing the headlines for the wrong reasons, with Elon Musk perhaps showing some signs of frustration in a conference call, telling investors not to buy shares if they can’t stomach volatility. That's actually refreshingly honest advice from a CEO in my opinion. Did not help their stock price though, knocked down 5.55%.
Bloomberg started talking Start Wars Day, even with Charts. Yes, it's a Friday all right.
Coffee and Tea available for those that have been hanging out for a boost, may need it to get through this afternoon. There is also something vaguely named "Juice", drink at your own risk.
