Afternoon trading September 10

Thanks @shovel40. Can't tell you how good it is to have a reliable wingman looking after the Morning launch. I should say that more often.

Half-time round-up: "ASX Update: Rebound trims losing week"

In this report:

• Market fights back from worst fall since Feb
• Santos, Oil Search agree mega-merger
• Alumina lifts on 13-year price peak
• Zoom2u lands with splash

Personal trading: A bit meh this session. MPA would have paid off with a full fill, rather than peanuts. BSE should pay off, but it's stubborn.
