VTG - Vita Group (Retailing)
DRM - Doray Energy (Gold)
AGL - Australian Gas Light
IGB - iShares Treasury
IAF - iShares Composite Bond
The Share Market has had one of those down days today - worldwide. Just up until today, things seem to be settled a little, then the dramatic drop today. In such a market, the one advice is to stay out, unless one plan to short some stocks.
Surprising the five mentioned above has been doing quite well recently. And for investors who wish to park their money somewhere, then these five are worth investigating further.
AGL - a venerable gas company, whether you call it blue chip or not, it has been around for years. It has all the advantages of incumbency over new players who would face barriers of entry. It is not recognized as a growth stock usually - but take a look at its graph below - growth chasers wouldn't complain about AGL's recent performance while others are falling. Good for small growth and to ride out the storm.
Doray Energy - Gold miners have been doing well in the past 6 months due to the worldwide market downturn. This small gold miner is interesting in various respects. Not only is it trending up nicely, it does have positive earnings and a low PE. Definitely warrant deeper investigation. Aimed at the Speculator.
VTG - This group has been doing well recently. Though the last few days, it has been retracing, the general performance has been good over the past year. May be a good choice for moderate growth and to hold during periods of uncertainty.
IGB and IAF - both of these are ETFs in Bonds. For those who really want to play it safe, yet may still want a positive outcome during market downturn, these are two ETFs worth looking at. As the general rule goes, if the stock market is going down, people tend to switch asset classes and bonds is one class to consider.
