Steemit closed for hardfork. US markets closed for holidays. UK markets push ahead on Brexit news. Hitting the exits in Italy and Europe/UK food with small profits
Portfolio News
Market Flip Flop
European markets edge higher despite the new US-China tariffs coming into force.
US markets are closed for Labor Day holiday.
Britain Bumbles
Brexit story gets a new round of complication as leading Conservative Party members threaten to break away.
If No Deal is blocked by MPs it looks like an election is coming - both events means that Jeremy Corbyn starts to look like the next Prime Minister - yikes. I am thinking that Boris Johnson thinks parliament will not back whatever deal he can negotiate - so he has to keep open the "no deal" window rather than face another postponement.
Bought
Post NL (PNL.AS): Dutch Postal Service. Reinvested dividend for stock
Sold
DB X-Trackers FTSE MIB (DBXI.DE): Italy Index. Certainty about new government drives an uptick in price. Chose to bank the small profit and stay away from Italy - never really going to fix their problems. 1.4% profit since May 2014.
Compass Group PLC (CPG.L): Europe Food Services. 11% profit since June 2019 with 1.8% of that profit given away with the drop in the British Pound compared with Australian Dollar
Cryptocurency
Bitcoin (BTCUSD): Price range for the day was $718 (7.4% of the low). Price pushed through resistance at $9954 after coiling up below for 4 days. Need to see the previous high taken out at $10,650 to feel any confidence about a new run higher.
One trade closed for $603.60 (6.2%) per contract profit. This covers CFD financing costs for a few weeks.
Ethereum (ETHUSD): Price range for the day was $11 (6.5% of the low). Price also pushes through resistance at $177 though with not quite the same conviction as Bitcoin price.
Ripple (XRPUSD): Price range for the day was $0.01133 (4.5% of the low). Price keeps working away from support into the middle of "no mans land" and confirms a higher low reversal.
