Trade ideas and insights
We share some of the trade ideas generated within our HCA trading community. Trade ideas here are generated from the collaboration between our strategists, traders and clients. We also share tax insights for traders and investors, as well as, general news and updates from team.
Every week needs a new plan! Markets change all the time. New fundamental drivers emerge, technical setups mature or fail and our trading plan must adjust in order to keep up with the ever changing environment. Here we will highlight some of the trade ideas that are generated within our client community so that you can stay on top of what our HCA trading community is looking out for and planning to trade at the beginning of each week.
Weekly game plan 18 October 2020
Overall markets are feeling a little ‘in the middle of nowhere’ at this stage and thus our weekly game plan is to mostly be patient and wait for better setups. We look at some of the major U.S. indices and note that there are no really good setups to be had at this stage, although Gold, Sliver and Oil might be setting up for some decent trades. On the local front, we’re probably complaining too loudly about low volumes, but there seems to be a select few good setups.
Weekly game plan 11 October 2020
Every week in 2020 seems to get stranger and stranger. Last week we saw the death and rebirth of stimulus talks and Trump uses his ‘art of the deal’ tactics to look good for the election. Make no mistake, the election is a big deal and it’s coming closer. Odds are that volatility will pick up a little heading into the election and thus we’re happy to take it very slowly. That said, markets are looking generally strong and confident at the moment.
Weekly game plan 4 October 2020
We’re experimenting with something different this week. Let us know what you think!
From time to time we will be sharing some of the ideas that our strategists generate in the global market arena. These views and ideas will likely not come every week, although as and when they do, we will share selected ideas here so that you can stay on top what our team is looking out for.
International outlook 14 September 2020
Markets are feeling a little fragile at the moment, thus we’ve not produced many offshore trade ideas over the last few weeks. We do at least have one offshore short-term trade idea today that we think is worth looking at.
International Outlook 31 August 2020
Some short-term offshore trade ideas for the week, focussed on the U.S. markets.
Trade ideas: Gold and silver
Gold and silver have been the talk of the town amongst most professional investors in recent months. With the Fed printing the dollar into oblivion, gold caught a decent bid and became massively overbought, along with its cheaper brother silver. Gold and silver sentiment became extreme and as you know, when the hysteria hits the market, it’s normally the end of the bull run. We have now had a decent retracement and believe that we can start looking at gold shares again for a bounce.
Our specialist tax consultant and Registered Tax Practitioner shares some useful insights every month to help you stay on top of and efficiently manage your tax affairs.
Depreciation in your tax return
An important thing to keep in mind when doing your annual tax returns is whether any depreciation can be claimed against your earnings. This may seem like a strange thing for a salaried individual to think of, but if you have had to buy a laptop or a piece of equipment for work, it applies to you.
Tax treatment for individuals with multiple income streams
Over the last few weeks we’ve noticed a trend among the tax queries we are receiving. Rather a lot of the questions we’ve received have been around the tax treatment of income generated from trading and investment activities, over and above salaries earned. We’ve received questions like; how do I report additional income on my taxes?, how do I claim stock losses on my taxes?, what is a tax directive? Therefore we thought it would be helpful if we shared some tax guidance for individuals with multiple income streams.
Tax toolkit for 2020
The 2020 filing season is upon us, so it’s time to pull out those calculators and spreadsheets and start compiling your tax returns. This is usually an arduous and sometimes stressful task, but if you know your way around tax reporting it doesn’t need to be.
