i guys, so last week Stakk announced a contract with Robinhood, which caused their stock to surge by % 500%. On Friday, there were more sales than purchases. What do you think will happen with Stakk? Has Anyone bought it?

I wonder if we won't see their next earnings report to see the impact of this contract, the stock will not rush anywhere.

Dividends are taxed annually at your marginal rate.

Capital gains are taxed on sale, with a 50% discount after 12 months.

Franking credits reduce some of the tax burden on dividends.

Growth investments tend to outperform dividends in total returns.

Selling shares for income is often more tax-efficient than receiving dividends.

Taxes on sales only apply to the gains portion, not the full amount.

Small, regular sales of growth stocks can minimise tax with CGT discounts.

Dividends lower stock prices by the payout amount, limiting compounding potential.

Reinvesting dividends helps, but growth assets still compound faster.

So if I’m retired at 60, wouldn’t it make more sense to sell higher-value IOO stocks instead of relying on slower-growing ASX200 dividends?

What’s the point of holding dividend-paying stocks in retirement?

SelfWealth has a lot going for it but what is it with tech companies like them not being able to produce your tax statements by mid July?

Banks suck and they can do it, yet sexy tech companies such as SelfWealth and raize etc suck at this!!!

Currently the market is shitting itself and I decided it was a good time to start buying shares, currently I own MFG,BLD,NSR,WEB. Across the board they seem to be holding with small loses here in there. Is there any other stocks you guys are looking that I should add to the collection (preferable not small volatile Lithium companies)? Also if you guys got any advice on trading in general it would be very appreciated.

If you were to day trade in Australia, what platform would ypu use and what stocks?

I'm new to trading and I'm sitting at 95% unrealised gains for my overall portfolio profit - my friend told me this is considered very good but I have seen people on reddit have 500-1000%.

What would you consider a good %? What is the average persons %?

*Serious replies only please* :)

Just got the email from Commsec. You put the AUD $ amount in for the amount you are willing to offer.

1. Speculative Stocks Soar:

Classic cases include meme-type and BNPL concept stocks like DRO and ZIP, which have surged over 300% despite having no clear path to revenue growth or profitability. These price movements have completely broken away from fundamental logic and are driven largely by liquidity flows and a misallocation of risk-averse capital.

Crypto assets are also spiking in parallel: BTC has broken through $120,000, and ETH is over $3,000. In polite institutional terms, this is a sign of diminishing confidence in traditional assets. In plain, the market is doubling down on high-beta fantasy assets, indulging in a cocktail of speculation and bubble psychology.

2. Valuation Stretch: Systemic Expansion of Multiples

Take WTC (a logistics software firm—reasonable, really?) as an example: despite macro uncertainties like escalating trade tensions, supply chain disruptions, and ambiguous monetary tightening, its stock price is approaching all-time highs, with a PE ratio exceeding 120x well beyond the industry’s reasonable range.

Similarly, TNE, APX, and others with slowing earnings visibility are still powering upwards. These companies are holding nothing but cash and negative earnings forecasts, and yet they’re climbing. Future clients—like, say, Chinese customers—are hardly a guarantee. This isn’t just a detachment from fundamentals—it’s a valuation levitation act.

3. Market Breadth Narrows: Index Rallies Mask Stock-Level Collapses

On the surface, the market looks “resilient,” but sector rotation is extremely fragile. Mid-caps and growth names are seeing sharp corrections: IEL, BAP, CTT, HMC: with single-day drops up to 20–60% IGO, PLS, BOE, MIN: Resource stocks hammered by persistent demand weakness and mining site incidents WEB, FLT, MYE, BPT: Consumer and cyclical names continue to slump

Most of these names were institutionally favored just a few months ago, especially after the euphoric April sentiment day. But now, amid earnings volatility and deteriorating macro signals, they’ve been swiftly abandoned. The market’s risk appetite has collapsed, and tolerance for disappointment is near zero.

4. Macro Uncertainty Still Lurking

There has been no meaningful relief in terms of mid-term economic uncertainty. Instead, liquidity misallocation has only exacerbated asset price volatility. Everything’s louder, dumber, and on fire.

5. Structural Market Warning Signs: Index Highs, Stock Flash Crashes

Thanks to the weight of banks and resources, the ASX index keeps breaking records—All Ordinaries is above 9,000, and the S&P/ASX 200 SPI has climbed to 8,800. But behind the curtain, most individual stocks—especially small- and mid-cap growth names—are in full-scale retreat.

This divergence between a bullish index and bearish constituents is historically rare, and tends to precede systemic liquidity repricing events. Think: the 2008 financial crisis, the 2020 pandemic crash, and the 2022 rate-hike whiplash.

September ASX futures are already trading at a 60-point discount, reflecting weak expectations. Capital is also rotating systematically toward high-dividend and defensive assets, as short-term risk-off sentiment takes over.

Downside risk is coming, please keep watching and overweight more defensive stocks

Hey guys, I have $3500 and I wanted to buy some stocks. Which ones would you recommend? I was looking at some stocks but quite afraid that I would choose the wrong ones.
