Afternoon trading September 2

Thanks @shovel40, @mirren and morning crew.


Half-time round-up: "ASX Update: Stocks mark time as commodity falls weigh"

In this report:

• ASX 200 holds steady
• Going up: banks, insurers, REITs, JHX, DSK
• Going down: miners, energy, EVN
• US futures dip 0.2%

Personal trading: Got something from the fleeting ex-dividend weakness in BSE. Also CNJ for peanuts and took NOX on retrace.
