Dont wanna sound rude

Cant believe people actually bought stocks like Kumba and mittal at these ridiculously high prices, at PE ratios over 30...I wonder how many guys actually look at the graphs before buying...or shoud they go into an ASYLUM...i mean, really guys, would ou pay R20 for a bread..

If no one buys then you wouldn't been able to sell therefore you couldn't even go short. In my opinion this oakies are there for long term purposes so they don't care if the prices pull back for weeks as long as they get in.

lots of people have shorted acl and came short i got out at 200 thinking that it had run its course and then ran up to 250 so its sounds like a good short at the moment but i wont take that chance.

what do you think of platinum shares? Do you have any opinion? Especially exploration companies such as Wesizwe. Would like to hear your views, thanks

lokks like wesizwe blew its top somewhere in 1997 and is now trailing sideways, looks like a short term buy now, just follow the stochastics.but i doudt if they make a profit, so they will continue to spike and go down again.i folow the advice at www.gold-eagle.com, tech analysis section, those guys are mostly correct.check it out.yes stocks can easily double or triple n a bull market before going down again.Just wait for that crazy spike before shorting...

if a share is bullish, make money on the easy side of the trend not the other. making money short can work but boy do you have to be quick before the sideliners rush in. OMO from experience.

It makes no sense at these PE's to invest in these companies. Clearly these stocks are over priced. Compare this to the PE of the banking stocks of about 7.

Hate to say this but PEs are only good for comparative purposes,WITHIN A SECTION.Mines could be in a ramp up phase or certain metals could be running.In America ceratin oil exploration company shares steadily increase in price ,never going to pay dividends and run on astronomical PEs.Now banks even at the low PE of around four does not mean that they are a bargain.Now if how ever u compare the four largest banks then the PE can tell u which is a bargain amongt the four ,always must be used with other indicators and basic knowledge of the share calender.For example if it is coming up for a dividend payment,market updates,chart movements etc.

The people buying are the ETF's who have to buy the index components in the correct ratio, and the pension funds and unit trusts who also have to invest your pension in something, might as well be with blue chips and those that can oay dividends.

acl not looking bad.high PE or not.

Some guys will buy high depending on their individual cut off price. It may seem ridicules but for them, they are increasinging their quantity and still sitting in the green. They also try to create a trend sending out vibes that something good is happenning "within" and the gullable ones are sucked in.... Just the way I see it.

Look at both funamentals and technicals, these shares almost went vertical, off course its not sustainable.Technicals are more accurate.Just look at MACD, it tells you when the top is in.I bet most ous were caught by Anglo's pullback....let us hear from you...
