Buys/Sells for Monday 23rd November 2014

P Hybrid - I'll be Selling/Taking Profit in DMP
P Runner - Holding all stocks

Aussie market switch/filter is Off
US market switch/filter is On
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.

Buys/Sells for Monday 10th November 2014

No Sells
Market switch is ON
Buy SPK for both portfolios Monday at the open
SPK, Spark NZ Ltd ASX 200
 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 Hybrid
P Runner

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.
