Afternoon trading March 31

Thanks @shovel40 and morning crew. Some great ideas for the open posted this morning - thanks to all who contributed. I'll have a think over Easter.

Half-time round-up: "ASX Update: Sizzling end to quarter as Qld cases fall"

In this report:

• Index chases best day in 4 weeks
• Easter cheer for Queensland
• Heavyweights surge
• Goldminers under pressure

Personal trading: Got out of PIL with a slim profit. The hair loss : profit ratio was not high enough on that one. In and out of RNU for pennies. Waiting for SCU.
