Thanks @shovel40, @Fiji1 and morning crew.
Half-time wrap:
A losing week for the share market continued with a third straight decline as mining heavyweight BHP and a swag of other companies traded ex-dividend.
The ASX 200 sagged 80 points or 1.1% by mid-session. BHP, which accounts for around 10% of the index by market weighting, dropped 4.33%. Other companies trading ex-dividend included Super Retail Group, Perpetual, ASX Ltd, Insignia, Monadelphous and Reliance Worldwide.
This morning's setback followed a losing night on Wall Street as rises in energy prices and input costs for the services sector reignited inflation worries. The S&P 500 shed 0.7%.Personal trading: Struggled for trades this morning. Buyer's strike across much of the spec end? Gave up on a lot of potential trades for lack of action. Eventually flipped WC8 twice on the way down for half-pips. Hairy stuff. Also took ARU and AHI on retrace.
