@tmsf12. I don't have a strategy so I will need to get high growth as quick as possible. This I do with buying strong growth stocks that have not yet had a down cycle and dumping them when they do. CML is a good example. I am hoping ADI and PGR will follow CML's pattern.
If the markets carry on down in the days ahead then I will pretty much be in the putty.

Great post P. As I have retired, I cannot take a 50% dip but I might still survive if I change my eating habits by eating what my food ate and chucking in a tin of cheap tuna with Chinese 1 minute noodles.
This should bring my monthly expenditure down to R7k pm from the R9k. I have gone off red meat anyway and am on a low carb diet so no beer or beans on toast for me.

I am not a prophet of doom and gloom but here is a YT video posted 10 days ago of an interview with a global economist that accurately predicted the 2007 crash. What he predicts here has perhaps begun now bearing in mind that he said "in 2 weeks time" 10 days ago.

Yes. Thinking is a pesky drain on the brain. Try and avoid it at all costs. 

For every seller there is a buyer. I wonder why any one would want to buy LON while it is in a protracted down trend.

What did you learn from that? Stay out of commodities and resources.
I am getting worried now as too many CEO's are hedging and selling.

Not sure what to think of this one any more. The Russian ruble has halved in value against the dollar over 2 years and had to cut imports. This plus the fact that the past 2 winters were mild affected battery sales at Rombat and Mutlu.
I will hold on though. 

ADI has become my best performer. After nearly 2 weeks of struggling to break the 1000 psychological barrier, she made it today on strong volume. 

We all heard that China devalued the Yuan yesterday and once again today. They did not only devalue their currency but devalued the world markets with it.
What makes me worried is how they artificially inflated their growth since the 2007/8 collapse. They built whole new cities with high rise building with malls unparalleled in size anywhere. Today they are all empty of people as they cannot afford the prices. 64 Million apartments are still empty in these new cities.

Is this why they reduced the import of copper and iron causing the price drop in these commodities? They have stopped building these cities and this may be the main cause of the stagnation of the markets of late.

Am I crazy or what? Here is a video of these empty cities.
