    I generally invest in Crown but I find the returns are quite volatile.
    I guess it still fits in the general investment principles - high risk, high return.

        I'm not worried about that at all.. the way I invest, the losses and dividends are immediate. It's also tax-free!

    • SlickMick on 14/12/2018 - 20:42

      I have a heap of Crown bonds. There were really unpopular at one stage and I was picking them up for $85.

    Please dont tell many people but…………Fortesque Metal ( FMG ) will hit $8 next year , so if you buy 1,000 shares now at the current price you will not only get a dividend but a Capital Gain when you go to sell at this time next year .

    Its a secret and only the Stockbrokers know

            @dcep: Everything will be smashed in a recession, but some things won't be smashed quite as hard as others. No one's gonna be buying a huge new TV from JB Hifi if they lose their job, but they're still going to want electricity. They will be more careful how much they use, but they're still going to use some. So things like healthcare, utilities, supermarkets will generally do better I believe.

        • boostpak on 14/12/2018 - 08:13

          since when is everyone losing their jobs because of a slight dip in the housing market?! it's just a correction, it had to happen.

          • malich on 28/12/2018 - 12:19

            @boostpak: Everybody loosing their job is a bit extreme, but a reduction in demand will see some jobs lost.

            Eg. If demand for new apartments continues to wane, demand for building services reduces. In turn, building supply demand is lowered. Support services are then effected. etc. etc. In addition, discretionary spending is effected.

            Anyway, our economy might sail through any challenges over the next 12 months. Nobody has a crystal ball..

        That's not what the post is about mate. It's a simple discussion on what shares/companies people are looking at for 2019 if they are planning on trading, or what shares they currently hold and have had success. It's a positive discussion champ.

    Amp and Tls have dived in the last year or two, so maybe research them if you think they will return to former price levels.
    Their Dividends are still decent in the mean time. Amp=14.20% with franking, Tls about 8% I think.
    See: https://www.marketindex.com.au/analysis/dividend-yield

    I am holding bluechip bank shares with highest dividends. Avg 11% p/a.

    • chumlee on 14/12/2018 - 08:22
      +2

      You seriously think AMP will keep their dividend at the same level despite losing revenue?

      The market doesn't often get these things wrong

      I'm holding blue chip bank shares and am under water

      • [Deactivated] on 14/12/2018 - 23:41

        They'll be back up, agreed?. Divs are world class.
        I bought at Asx 5800 so I'm not liking it much either, but I've broken even from the dividends to date.
        Longterm this is a good deal IMO.

        • SlickMick on 15/12/2018 - 10:04

          hope so… though if they paid decent interest on bonds (or savings accounts) I'd rather just loan them my money at fixed rates than invest in them and let them pay whatever they want.

            @SlickMick: Gone are the days of 8% bank interest.

            I can't figure out what's driving this decline other than Brexit, Iran, NKorea, Clima5te, Trump, Trade wars etc, but it doesn't seem any of it is that serious really. Any pearls of wisdom?

            Anyway the decline is really steady and slow unlike a crash, so I see that as an adjustment or correction. Stockmarkets have always bounced back so this one should too. If it keeps going down I just think how much more pain it causes the world, than the inconvenience to my lifestyle.

            • SlickMick on 15/12/2018 - 10:26

              @[Deactivated]: I have no wisdom re stock exchange, just complaints :) I hate the whole concept. To me it's just a huge gambling platform.

              As a gambler, it's all very nice to try to guess whether a share price will rise or fall.
              But as an investor, I want to negotiate a deal that I'm happy with. eg I'll invest $x at y% interest for z period of time.

              Get rid of the stock market and make companies issue bonds to raise funds. Suddenly 8% is an attractive source of funds.

              • [Deactivated] on 15/12/2018 - 10:32

                @SlickMick: If banks go > 6% I'll be returning to that.
                Anyway thanks for comments. Cheers.

    I have no clue anymore but if I were forced to pick some maybe the service app industries like uber, Netflix, Spotify and menulog (delivery apps) if they are even public atm.

    Otherwise Nvidia and Samsung seem to be killing it but I would get Xiaomi if I could.. they are a powerhouse.
