Thanks @shovel40, @FlashPoint, @Fiji1 and morning crew.
A lacklustre session at the big end following a mixed night in the US. The ASX 200 dropped at the open and slopped around in the red the rest of the morning. At the halfway mark, the index was down 21 points or 0.3%.
The big banks led a partial recovery following CBA's trading update. Property stocks, gold miners and healthcare providers were amongst the session's worst performers.
There was some excitement further down the food chain. Decent gains on offer in VSR, BEZ, CPH and others.Personal trading: Took advantage of cheaper brokerage to ride ANZ for a bit. Not a huge profit, but it's the type of intraday swing trade I hope will supplement bigger wins elsewhere. Unfortunately, the bigger profits elsewhere did not eventuate. Placed plenty of orders, but had no hits.
