  • CoursesPlus scam

    CoursesPlus.net scam website

    Quick call today, Elle Gibson called from 03 8904 8852, saying I’d registered an interest in making a second income from trading. Needless to say I never register for any of that stuff. Their standard response is I must have forgotten that I registered. No. Just. No. The scam seems to be mutating into a […]

  • Target Research Marketing Scam

    TargetResearchMarketing.com scam

    I was called today by Target Research Marketing from 08 7922 7894 trying to recommend 3 stocks. They claimed they were from Darwin which sophisticated investors know is not in the top 50 financial centres of Australia*. They claimed they got my number from a B2B directory. What? Anyway I was working and too busy […]

  • Scammers Calling Me Less?

    Since June 2021 I’ve received less than 10 scam phone calls. This is simultaneously amazing and ridiculous. Scammers gotta scam is a trope I live by. But with all the YouTube scam baiters and Social Media content creators in this space, I am hopeful that scammers are starting to clean their lists up just a […]

  • FTOCapital.com Scam

    FTOCapital Financials Trading Online website screencap

    I received a call today from 03 9077 1873 claiming to be from  Financials Trading Online with a pitch exactly the same as HQ Brokers.  I’m not sure if H Q Brokers have pivoted to a new name or a different scammer driving this call. It’s a different scammer from H Q Brokers. It was obviously […]

Unfortunately, many of these individuals tend to be unaware or just plain forget that the most important ingredient for success, […]

  • Buy 5 BHP March 9.49 Calls @ 0.05

    That represents $0.17 x 5265 to close out the position. As these are covered calls I own 5625 BHP against which I write these calls. Since doing this BHP has gone from $9.95 to close today at $8.93 so it’s fallen $1.02 (my average buy price was below $9.95). In the same time I’ve earned […]

  • CSR update

    I was reviewing my watchlist and realised CSR has been trading 6.40-6.60 recently. I sold out in November at 5.56. Trading doesn’t always win.

  • BHPEL down to 0.075

    OK, it appears that I have wondered from my trading strategy and am trading on emotion. Yes it is good to take insurance — in my case I did that by buying BHPEL back at 0.105 yesterday to close out my position. I didn’t expect BHP to hit $9.49. For the record I don’t think […]

  • Buy 5 BHP Feb 9.49 Calls

    I bought them back at 0.105 (0.005 profit) to close out the position. That makes it my worst option trade to date. I’m out $230 in commissions. Something is going on with BHP and I have no idea. Neither does my broker. I could hold on, if BHP hits $9.49 I get exercised and pay […]

  • Sell 5450 ALL @ 2.02
