1 Buyer at $.89

Next maximum of $.77

Someone overpaid bigtime IMO. That's all. No real volume to speak of. This seems to happen a lot with this stock.

[89coupe]

Nothing will happen with Sienna Gold until they make a PR. I'm crossing my fingers that its a good PR.

I continue to buy up Solium (SUM) at these low prices.

My next two big purchases will be the two explorico's that will be spun off the Penn West/Petrofund and the Daylight/Sequoia mergers.

[Team_Mclaren]

Hmm, anyone know what happened to Ballard Power today? It had a huge drop today and I was thinking of buying in.

Damn, I was signed in on TM's acct :(
I noticed that they are having a conference call tomorrow morning about the Q1 Financials, is there bad news in there or something?

Went up because of Bush and came back down because of analyst downgrades.

[black_2.5RS]

Heard some good things about a jr. oil & gas play in Calgary (Vero Energy). Avg. amount of volume but I noticed that there were a couple of very large lot buy's today.

Thanks. I bought 100 shares of it at 11.22.

[djayz]

:banghead: hbm.wt is just going crazy wish i bought in when i said buy in haha

on the other hand den has finally started to move. hopefully this doesnt jinx the damn thing
and ptu is coming into buy territory again for anyone who is interested...its a penny stock but in the long run itll be in the dollar ranges.

[Nizmo_GTR]

Anyone have comments regarding Connacher Oil & Gas (CLL.TO)? It has dropped quite a bit recently, assuming it is mainly due to the EUB uncertainty. Does it look like a buy and hold? Production will happen much much earlier than UTS. In addition, CLL has 100% WI. Comments would be appreciated.

I have been holding CLL since last June and I am going to continue to hold. I also think that it is the EUB uncertainty that is causing this drop in price. I would say at these price load up on it.

Ya i hope to see PTU keep coming down i would love to load up on this thing in the 0.30 range but more likely the 0.40 range. Are you holding long?

[benyl]

screw you guys. I bought PTU at .50 two months ago.. I am hoping it stays up. sheesh

You can load up on some more if the price comes down a little its a win win situation!

[djayz]

ohh im definately holding and i do hope prices come down to the low 30 cent mark that would be amazing.
holding for a couple years atleast...the uranium crunch that you hear about every now and then hasnt really hit cuz everyone is so focused on oil... Once people start realizing that energy created from oil/gas is not efficient uranium will be the next gold.

Im sure you guys have read that all the developing countries overseas are expanding their nuclear energy programs...well they are still under way once they get up and going youll see what the real value of uranium is. Thats why right now would be the best time to purchase uranium stocks.
Denison is a good one cuz they are producing and i chose purepoint as an exploration play from my own DD but look around theres lots of uranium explorations companies out there...juniors of course who could be huge in the long run.

Heres a list of all of the uranium plays...

[YCB]

damn exams.. i missed when rol.a was 2.40ish.. i would have sold.. :thumbsdow

[Shaolin]

Chances are rol.a will go up, I doubt you're losing out by not selling at 2.40

[Z_Fan]

^ Sure he is. He could have bought it all back today for 50 cents a share less!!

[Shaolin]

hmm.. just took a look.. probably just a regular pullback.. it'll probably even out in a couple of weeks.

should've maybe put in a stop loss to save some cash.. :dunno:

[Ariakas]

PLE halted, NR looks good.

[Z_Fan]

^ Yup, noticed that. Hope to hell it shoots way up. Go PLE Go!

...

That'd be super nice. ;)

We've got car parts to pay for, dammit!

[benyl]

what do you peeps think it will peak at? I missed the last boat. Put a sell order in at .50 and it only went .48

Gambling at it's best.

haha

[benyl]

muther fucker. I am going to kill RBC.

I never confirmed a sale and they went and sold my shares are market. WTF.

[Z_Fan]

I never ever click the "market price" button. I've been burned twice by it, and it fucking gags me!

I'm hanging onto PLE. Just didn't go up enough IMO. I was hoping for a doubler. LOL. :rolleyes:

[Z_Fan]

PLE did nothing IMO.

Probably will return to it's previous price by end of day. LOL. Boring.

[benyl]

well, RBC got me out at .40. I am not so pissed off anymore.

[Z_Fan]

Yeah, that's not so bad.

But it was up to $.48 last week or so when it was going nuts. So, I figure it has good potential still. Plus, they are reporting on only 10% of the trenches, so ... hey, potential for 9 more News Releases at that pace! LOL!

[89coupe]

Yeh, this has the potential to be something really really big. I'm gonna close my eyes now and open them when Barrick buys them out at $30.00/share:bigpimp:

[benyl]

I will wait until it hangs out at .30 again and then buy in again.

[JiggaMan]

Are you guys actually making good money doing this? I am just trying to enter into the stock game and would like to stay somewhat local like you guys... just wondering how you are doing.

[Z_Fan]

Although I think PLE will settle back down at 0.30, I hope it doesn't. I hope it hangs at the mid to high 30's and then slowly goes up to 40's. Then the next NR should pump it up again. I betcha they release more results inside a couple weeks on another 10 trenches. We'll see.

[benyl]

Just based on the tips in this thread alone, I have probably made $10K or so since January. More with other tips.

I do have some dogs (based on tips from this thread and other people) as well... like SGP, WIN, CYTGF, etc...

Win some, lose some. It is all a game. You just hope you win in the end.

That'd work for me. I wouldn't mind being a millionaire. Hell, I'd even wait 5 years for that to happen.

I have a few shares of PLE.

But, let's get back to reality. That ain't gonna happen. So, let's start out by hoping the thing hits $1.00 by the end of the year. LOL.

[sabad66]

Shit, I was going to buy SUM at 1.00 yesterday, now it's at 1.10. Should I wait til it goes back down or buy now? Also, anyone know wtf happened with SGP? When is their PR?

haha, I was thinking the same thing.

You would have to buy 40,000 shares = $12K (0.30/share) to have 1.2 million at $30 a share.

I will buy another 10K shares when it drops and let it ride for a few years... haha

[Shaolin]

I don't know if i mentioned it on this board or not.. but I talked about NRN (Northern Shield Resources) back in late February/early March.. it's broken through their 52 week high now..

They're in the platinum and diamonds business.. I work with the CEO/President/Director's brother..

I do own the stock.. I'm just throwing a bit of my portfolio out there so we can all compare notes.

Of course, do your own DD.

[Gspotracer]

Just looking at todays NR for ROL.A, not exactly sure what this means, could someone explain?

Here is the link

http://www.integratir.com/newsrelease.asp?news=2130954632&ticker=V.ROL.A&lang=EN

[89coupe]

It means they are wanting to raise $7.5Million

Flow throughs are a great way to gain tax breaks.

[Z_Fan]

^ You should have sold every share you had and bought it back.

LOL. :poosie:

[89coupe]

I'm thinking about buying $5K of the flow through shares. I need all the tax deductions I can get.

For those that don't understand how Flow Throughs work, here is a little break down.

For every dollar you buy in flow through's you can deduct that exact same amount againts your income for the 2006 tax season. The bonus is when you decide you want to sell, you only pay capital gains. So its a win win situation.

[Altezza]

The benefits of FTS are a very attractive especially to high net-earners in high tax brackets. FTS are only a win-win situation if you can exceed your post tax amount at risk (which takes into consideration your tax rate). When you take advantage of FTS, your ACB effectively becomes zero and you pay capital gains on the full proceeds from your disposition. Even if your shares dropped by 80%, when you sell, you cannot claim a capital loss. In fact, you have to pay capital gains tax on the remaining 20%. So in this case, you get an extra kick in the ass cuz you lost 80% of your investment and now have to pay capital gains tax on the 20% you managed to salvage.


Example:

I buy $1000 of FTS at $1/share:
assume 45% tax
Gives $550 capital at risk after $450 tax credit
Break even point capital at risk post tax is $550
Break even point capital at risk pre tax is ~$710
If the shares dropped below a value of $0.71 each, the advantages of FTS just got erroded away. If you are in a lower tax bracket, your break even point is even higher than $0.71.

Shares increase to $2:
I pay full capital gains tax on $2/share sale since ACB is zero.

Shares fall to $0.50:
I pay full capital gains tax on $0.50/share and cannot claim a $0.50 capital loss since ACB is zero.

[Altezza]

oops, forgot to mention the last 2 scenarios are assuming that you sold your shares

[red99600]

is rol.a ever going to jump up again?

[89coupe]

Originally posted by red99600

Well since they are an "Exploration Company" that drills for "oil and gas" and as long as they don't drill nothing but dry holes, I'd say yes.

[roopi]

Short term for ROL.A it won't be jumping up because of this PP. Should see it hold in his area for a bit.

[djayz]

sad to say...i sold out of my energy funds this morning then watched as oil rallyed once again.

ohh well still got the good old precious metals.
CXX is at a bargain price right now im loading up on more...its lower than what i bought it at before and impact silver had a down day today which is a great buying opportunity

[Shaolin]

NRN up to $1.05
GL up to about $3.00
BNT has been hovering mid $0.40s for quite some time, still waiting for more NR and results.

Things are looking pretty good.. I have no money to dump into anything else for another couple of weeks though.. but I'm happy with how things are starting off this week.

[moeman]

What's the story behind BNT? Can't find much info on them.

Anybody else been riding Falcon Oil and Gas (FO) for the last while?

[Shaolin]

They're in precious metals and they've been waiting for financing. That's what every shareholder of BNT is waiting for. If you're looking for a stock that's going to take off sooner, check out NRN. Market price tomorrow should be about 1.10.

[moeman]

I picked up a couple thousand NRN already. Hoping for a good one there. Falcon has done extremely well for me too. Hoping that one has what they say they have to put it through the roof. Could happen with NRN too. When are they going to be listed in Germany?

[Shaolin]

Ian is heading over there next week I believe, I'll find out tomorrow.

[/////AMG]

I want to get in on PLE now, 0.34 is good enough or should I wait to see if it'll dip a little lower?

[djayz]

^
if your going to get into for the short term...it may go lower alot of hedge funds and large investors are trying to shake out weak hands...atleast thats the conclusion i have come to thats why the price keeps riding up and down.

if your going in long term..i believe these are bargain prices compaired to what this stock will be a couple years down the road.

have you got a diversified portfolio yet AMG or you just gambling with a couple thousand learnings a few things?

[/////AMG]

I'm still a big noob, well I should put in some effort to learn but with exams coming up I really don't have the time.

All I have is SGP, bought it at 0.72. So I'm still gambling.

But my dad wants to invest as well. But then again hes told me about how hes got BT shares (British Telecom) like over 10 years ago when he joined them. During that time it's gone up probably no more than a £1.

PLE would be perfect for him (he wants long term), although he'll blame me for anything that happens haha, so hes gotta research. I will have to as well.

[moeman]

http://aktien.onvista.de/snapshot.html?ID_OSI=8720379

[Shaolin]

FYI moeman, Ian is going to germany in 2 weeks to setup NRN to go on the german stock exchange.

oohh so its like that eh. Yah if your gonna go long term get into some good funds and stick with them or get into some income trusts that way you still get payed a dividend. PLE is still a gamble its not 100% certain that its going to go up even in the long run...althought it most likely will we might only see a gain of 20 cents and nothing more. Its a speculative play.

Get started with a couple funds at first such as precious metals or energy funds with a couple thousand then as you get new money in gamble with that. Atleast that way if you lose the money while your gambling you still have some left in the funds and you wont feel like youve lost everything. Basically like a casino...have your limits

[moeman]

Thanks Shaolin. Nice close today.

[89coupe]

You guys should load up on SGP, based on the last PR all is looking well. :thumbsup:

[moeman]

So whats the new pick of the week?

SGP?

I just took some cash out of JNN as it broke through another 52 week high today.

What do you think of Rol.a right now as a longer term investment?

I'd like to move into a couple stocks to hold for the long term.

[/////AMG]

I think SGP was his pick of the week ages ago, lol. But its still low at 0.69

ROL.a is an excellent long term holder.:thumbsup:

Other great long terms are.

TET.UN
PMT.UN
BME
SUM

[moeman]

Any political concerns for Sienna? What would happen if the government takes everything over like Bolivia did with it's oil and gas?

[Mckenzie]

Man rol-a is tanking the last couple days...

Anyways, Zedi posted another record quarter yesterday and the stock closed up near .15 from previous close to about 1.60. They are a well services company that can improve operating efficiency for natural gas producers. They also have a good analyst opinion and a moderately strong buy on yahoo and have proved they are not a little flash in the pan like some of these mining companies. I believe it will be a great stock for a long term hold. Price target of 1.80. No debt. Strong financials this quarter. Excellent growth pick IMO.:thumbsup:

Do your homework.

sry for trying to make it seem like im gonna hijack this thread.

I talked to my dad and he agreed to give me a grand to spend on the stock exchange. preferrably the TSX. NASDAQ seems to volatile. anyways, i was wondering, how do you really start out in investing? like what are the procedures that you need to take to start investing immediately? and the places/forms that i need to go to and do? thx to anyone who helps!:thumbsup:

find an online brokerage, either through your bank or through a 3rd party brokerage.. then you're off to the races.

if you go through your bank, just make an appointment with a personal banker.. takes like 15 minutes to fill all the forms and you're done.

So I just logged on to TD for the first time since I bought SGP (Mar 20th).


22-Mar-2006 . 0 . INACTIVITY FEE . FEE . $0.00 . -$15.00

If you get onlne statement through waterhouse they will wave the inactivity fee. I had an account setup for like 2 years and did not pay a cent because of the online statement option. You should give them a call and see what they can do for you.

[Rav4Guy]

anyone purchase RSC.V when I mentioned it two weeks ago? You would've made 70% return on it if you sold today. :D

I just checked the charts for RSV.V.. how did you get 70% return? maybe I'm looking at the wrong chart.. from the charts I'm looking at it's been hovering in the 30s since early April. Resolve Ventures right?

hbm.wt still a great buy...i wish i wouldve bought when i originally said buy it but i bought last week thursday and lets just say ive made a good 15% on my investment unfortunately i didnt buy enough haha.

Ohh..CanadianBoy69 how did you know ble was on its way up?...nice jump today :thumbsup:

[moeman]

So what'sgoing on with Purepoint? Not much movement either way, but you think it's a good buy right now?

Also, was anybody fortunate enough to pick up some Falcon Oil (FO) when I mentioned them last week when it was around $3.25? Up $1.40, or 30% today to $6.05, for those that did. Wish I'd put down more at $3, but what can you do?

[djayz]

^
i believe purepoint is gonna be huge in the long term when uranium actually gets into more demand and all those said nuclear reactors start up theres going to be a huge demand.

Really uranium on the whole is a huge speculative play but the risks are a fair bit lower due to the larger developing countries making moves to secure nuclear energy as their main source...such as iran.

purepoints on sale to me...anything close to or under 50 around this time is a sale...they have huge amounts of cash and can make aquisitions if they want but i believe they are doing some more drilling in the athabascan region which has been a proven spot for uranium... anyways do some research its a great stock ive already bought and sold it once before it made it up to the 50+ mark .

[Z_Fan]

^^ I've been watching FO but didn't buy it. (Unfortunately) I was hoping PLE would do something. Hell, I was excited it went up 5.5 cents today. :rolleyes:

I would have been better off selling all my PLE for FO.

I wouldn't be so quick to make such a comment ;)

[Z_Fan]

^

Well, for the last week, it would have doubled my money almost in FO, where PLE did frick all. But I'm hanging onto PLE for the long run. I know it has excellent potential, and from watching it today, it makes me wonder what is going on...

500000 volume for pretty much the entire day, then in the last hour or so it does triple that for 1500000 in the final hour! Go figure. Something is up. So, I am expecting an upward trend tomorrow with very heavy trading.

And I hope it's another news release with trench information better than the last time...

I'm being patient. I promise.

http://biz.yahoo.com/ccn/060509/200605090326300001.html?.v=1

As for CLR.UN. Revenue/Profit looked OK. Unfortunately they didn't start up the distribution again. Long term looks ok but I'm going to re-evaluate whether I'm holding on to this one. :dunno:

[89coupe]

Nautilus Minerals started to trade today. :thumbsup:

I posted the tip on my boards for the IPO.

First day of trading under NUS

[89coupe]

Nothing like a 284% increase in a couple hours of trading...hahaha.

If anyone got on the IPO congrats.:bigpimp:

[/////AMG]

Did it start trading at $3.00?

[Z_Fan]

Yeah, well, I am a little confused.

It opened at 3.00 it said.

So, the only people who made that were people who bought shares before it went on the exchange...

Right?

[/////AMG]

Yea, thats why I asked. I think thats what he meant.

[Z_Fan]

^ I think so too. ;)

PLE is doing swell today. :D
