Tentative trading in MRX - Aug'07

Hi all, I am trading aggressively just two stocks at the moment and keeping a sizeable amount of cash on the side. Why? Because I believe this market is going lower. I believe there is a lot more bad news to come, and fears might escalate if the credit rating agencies are called into question.

Most of the stock I am retaining is Matrix Metals (MRX.ASX), plus an explorer Alloy Resources (AYR.ASX). The reason being is that both companies were oversold and are expecting drilling results. Matrix is a low cost copper producer aggressively expanding output. It is ripe for a takeover by Xstrata if they find anything big. They recently entered production at are probably trading at a PER of 3x, and they have alot of upside besides. More importantly the chart is signalling to me a technical breakout.

The other stock Alloy Resources (AYR) is drilling a copper-gold target along the same geological trend as Pan Australian Resources (PNA.ASX). For this reason I am holding out for some excellent results which might just be the basis for a company-making mine. PNA have had some impressive results on this trend, so I'm hopeful for AYR despite the long development lead time.
