Thanks @shovel40 and morning crew.


Half-time round-up: "ASX Update: Miners spearhead third day of gains"

In this report:

• ASX shrugs off weak US leads
• US futures, Asian markets rally
• Gold miners shine
• Nuix rebounds

Personal trading: Some days you're the rooster, other time the feather-duster. Today's a duster day for me. Got caught out by the scale of yesterday's MMI dump. Held in hope of a bounce, but took the hit when that didn't eventuate. I find the distraction and mental load of managing losing positions outweighs the benefits of any - uncertain - recovery. Better to lance the boil, clear the head and move on. Made some back through CAP. Watching MRR for an entry.
