China has lowered interest rates which should boost their economy which in turn should boost our exports, so we may see a rise in stock prices next week especially the miners.
I expect my Aussie market switch to turn on next week, but I'm not going to pre-empt  it, I'll act on what actually happens not what I think is going to happen.

 Telecommunication Services. Telecommunication Services. Diversified Telecommunication Services. Integrated Telecommunication Services.
Goes ex div March & September
There was a name change 08/08/14 from Telecom Corp NZ to Spark.
Rant follows :)
The name change makes no sense to me, they're a telecom company and now the name 'Spark' makes them sound like a power company. I expect in a couple of years they'll spend another few million dollars changing it to something more appropriate.
Telstra does a similar thing over here with the local phone directory, every year they swap the order of the white pages & yellow pages or turn one upside-down in the phone book seemingly just to make it new.
They could put the money to better use by increasing the dividend!

P Runner is close to new equity high.
I'm getting close to dropping P Hybrid, it's clearly being outperformed by the wider exit on P Runner.
My new daily system is coming along, I'm still forward testing it but it has real potential due the higher trade frequency.

Ex dividends this week were RHC & NHF

SKI goes exdiv tomorrow 1st september & BPT goes exdiv on the 3rd but unfortunately my system has a sell on that so I'll miss out.
GXL goes exdiv on the 4th & SHL on Friday the 5th Sept.

Looking through the dividends I saw that in April 2014 I should have added the dividend of SEK  to the P Runner portfolio.. (http://momotrades.blogspot.com.au/2014_04_01_archive.htm)
 It went exdiv on 03/04/14 & should have been added in the post on Sat 5th April, but it was overlooked so I've added it in this week.

I've been forward testing my new short term end of day trading system in the ASX Share Trading Game

Posting early this week, but the above results are after Friday's close.
There will be a lot of sells for Monday!
Gold stocks are about the only thing going up at the moment, probably a result of all the conflict around the world. I've bought a few gold miners/explorers (KCN, NST & SAR) in a short term daily system that I'm forward testing in the ASX share trading game. Will probably post the sells for these weekly portfolios late Sunday.

I've developed an end of day system which I'm going to forward test in the game over the 3 months that the game runs. If it turns out to be any good I'll add it to this blog when the game ends.

Buys/Sells for Monday 28th July 2014

P Hybrid Sell MQG, Buy AWE
P Runner Sell JHX, Buy NHF

Taking dividend & small capital gain profit in MQG & small capital loss in JHX (but got the dividend.)

I'm buying NHF for P Runner as I already hold it in P Hybrid & it's good to hold the same stocks in both portfolios as it makes for a more valid comparison of both methods. Plus it's as good as anything else I was considering like APN or ALL.
AWE looks to be resuming an uptrend after a pullback
AWE:ASX 200 Small Ords
Energy. Energy. Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels. Oil & Gas Exploration & Production
Hasn't paid a dividend since Dec 2011 but the P Hybrid exit is more suited to faster stocks than the slower dividend paying stocks.
