Does anybody know if TransCanada has a stock for their power division?

[bmeier]

TBE is still dropping only a couple cents from the 52 week low. Seems like a lot of doubt in the company what are you investors thinking? I initially thought it was a big over reaction from the primate drop in performance but it seems like there is a lot more fear than that.

Crude pricing has also dropped a fair amount. Those of who are invested are you holding buying or selling?

Lots of fear in the stock. Quite justified IMO...

Holding. Has always been a strong company

I wouldn't go as far a sinking. It just leveled off. Nothing to push it either direction minus yesterday and the Home Depot thing.

[Red@8]

I was looking for a little more drop on TBE before picking up some shares. Up nicely for you guys holding today.

Egypt is really killing my TGL play. I am still in the green but I know that sp should be so much higher.

THIS.

Im hoping its just a mid dip then will climb again once US Market release...

I'm holding on. Really iffy investment though - have a bit riding here... :confused:

[Feruk]

Any thoughts on when we might see US sales numbers for the BB10?

[swak]

I think release is mid-March.

Anyone tracking NML? Seems like a really nice growth stock right now.

Just checked them out... Looks like they're down .50 since Jan on a $1.50 stock..... down 33%, i wouldn't classify that as having good growth :nut:

Might be a good buy now though haha

Very predictable behavior so far.

I bought back in today, not nearly as heavily as I did the first time. I figure I will easily get a 5% gain on it over the next 2 weeks sometime. It is down a good 6% over two days which usually results in a correction shortly after.

Once sales figures are announced and it appears market share is increasing (which I am fairly certain it is) it will cause the stock to shoot up again and probably hold for quite some time.

Hoping this is the case most definitely.
Do you see BB flopping in the long-haul?

I recently parked some money in MSFT. They're looking pretty dece as of recent too.

Growth indicates production. This company has none. They have reserves and reserves growth, but they don't make any money.

I've been in it for a couple years. Extremely volatile and I'm well into the red overall, but I still think it' a great company with an excellent longer-term outlook.

[KappaSigma]

Call me a gambler but I added to my position at DCK in this pullback.

[Feruk]

Anyone following SPP? Spot Coffee? I'm tempted to just throw in a small amount and see if it goes big or goes to 0.

Have a look at the 5 and 10 year trends. MSFT has traded relatively flat forever it seems.

I grabbed some for $20 early in 2009 when the market started to recover and sold sometime in 2010 for $28. Where's it at now... $28.

If you follow that stock regularly you might be able to snag a 10-15% gain here or there, but I haven't seen anything that suggests that stock is going to "take off" any time soon. Do you have some new/recent information that could shed some light on their outlook?

[bmeier]

Bb getting Shit on...

[roopi]

Just bought back into BB today below $14.

Also started to aquire a large position in NVS over the past few days. Shorts building on this one over the past 3 weeks and getting slammed on BNN by a previous analyst who loved it. Seems like there is an endless supply of shares for sale (must be someone still shorting or dumping a large position).

I know this company has been mentioned in the past a few times and I've been in and out of it. I beleive last time I sold in the $0.90's somewhere. What peaks my interest again on this one is:

1. They are still for sale (they announced this back in December)
2. There has been some large volume days over the past few weeks

I dumped my entire position in NVS a few weeks ago. If there were options on this name, I'd be buying puts right now. I got in last August somewhere in the $0.70 to $0.75ish range and dumped at ~$1.12. I think your high upside is $1.25 on acquisition. If no news, a merger, or any sort of reverse takeover, it goes straight back to $0.90. There are no obvious buyers and the risk-reward is just not there for me.

I'd agree to an extent. There are some obvious buyers, particularly Teine, RRX, and WCP, but just not at the price that NVS is asking. Even TOL is linked to this. I do believe though that there's much more downside than upside with this company and most of the premium of an acquisition is already priced in.

I recently got in on MSFT as well for around 27.35. I'm thinking they could have a big year with Surface (the Pro at least :poosie: ), Office 2013, and the new xbox.

We'll see what happens.

i have been sitting on the sidelines this whole month wishing i had gone in when it was going up 20% and being relieved i hadnt when it is down %20.

some good money has been made by active traders...

I still think going forward it is a good buy, just need to find a good entry point. under 14 or 13 is a decent start i think.

Bought in seeing as AAPL has a percieved forecast of dropping/levelling off.
Where else are they gonna go? Haha.
But yea they are really level thoughout the years for sure... A pretty conservative stock at least to park some money
And took a rather large investment in BB :( hoping they come back once they get released in the us. But they just lost a client with 10000. Not good.

Might be best off to just sell and take the 5% up (bought in around 12.50)

Look at their land position. Obviously buyers would be: PWT, WCP, CPG, or RPL. PWT is broke, WCP and RPL already have a big position. WCP would probably look at it but not at this price. CPG is more interested in stuff down south now IMO than some tiny tuck in. Tiene and TOL are too small; merger. RRX is a maybe at best.

If I was a betting man, I'd bet on some natural gas company doing merger to re-position themselves or, best case scenario, a decent offer from a private company. Someone like Northern Blizzard. I don't know though... I'd be worried that they think they're worth more than they actually are.

Yes. "Value realization process" along with open data room. They are shopping themselves around. Hence the immediate spike from $0.90 on the day they announced that they were on sale. IMO the company's worth $0.90, the rest is hype.

Isn't today's rally due to balsillie finally severing ties? If that's the case there should still be some more upside, that guy was nothing but a curse. Then again I've been forcing myself to be bullish since launch. Lost all my money on those goddamn options :banghead:

Not a bad 5+% gain i'm sure. i should start trading on higher volumes but I just can't justify selling my equity stake in TBE & TOU. Long term holds hah.

and in reference to above post, I'm with ya. Was bullish on launch too lol

[swak]

Pretty early to sell IMO, BB just hit their boom again?

I could be wrong though

[msommers]

BB is going to be a roller coaster for awhile. Maybe once the phone with the physical keyboard is out things will settle. But buying in right now is anyone's game and far too radical for my tastes.

Apple was the stock that just didn't quit. It was projected to be over $1000 at the end of 2015. Who knows what's happening now. I think the average consumer is realizing that for the performance/dollar there are better or different options available.

Company misstated Q1 through Q3 of 2012 financials. Essentially, over 2/3 of its revenue should not have been booked and its unit utilization is around 25% rented at the moment. PSN is halted right now because it'll have to redo all its past financials... hits just keep on coming.

If I remember the story correctly, it said something to the extent that ~100M of the 148 in revenue they booked over Q1-3 '12 shouldn't have been claimed, most likely due to their issues collecting on recievables. They took an equally massive hit in November when they first found that problem, now this is just the nail in the coffin. They're done boys.

It's irrelevant if you are 'investing' with them. If you have a job with them, it might matter, but it's just better to walk away and look for an easier trade.

I am winding down all my trades and 'selling in March' to beat the rush. I don't think the market has much steam left. Some short term trades I'm happy to keep as long term (BB).

Highly doubt anything will. They are going to have class action suits all over them and the board and management will all be under question. This was basically the nail in the coffin.

Peronsally I wouldn't put my money anywhere near a company that went from $15 to $0.30 in 3 months hah

Hey guys, I am a large holder of ABX and GG. Unfortunately I am not doing so hot lol. Anyways, I would have made a pretty penny based on the recent quarterly reports, but gold prices shit the bed with all that G20 talk and the "no currency war" claims. :rolleyes:

Wondering what are peoples thought on this, and if this is a real turn around for gold prices... I m not one to bet against America, but with all this paper money printing going on from the states, European union, japan, and YES the Chinese artificially suppressing the value of the Yuan I dont see a reason why gold prices are due for a severe pull back.

I m red... Really red. But I guess I m gonna hold onto everything and collect an annual dividend of 2500 for 2013. I m not one to sell, sucks that I m overweighted in P- Metals. I have some cash left on the side... enough for a new car or a down payment on a home. If markets continues in this direction I m gonna buy more and hold of my other plans.

Averaging down is a sucker play. Averaging up is the right move.

You are taking increasingly more risk by averaging down for less and less reward. It doesn't make sense. Markets run on trends, and if the trend is down, do you really want to be there?

Do you as you please, but be careful. I would rather have the 'sure thing' of a house downpayment than gamble down. (And trust me, if you have a wife/gf, she will thank you for it too!).

PS I almost lost every single cent and my houses when I was 'averaging' down so I do speak form personal experience. It's gut wrenching. I always have stops to keep bleeding down to 4 to 7% (MAX!).

Should have made it a bit clear, I m not averaging down any of the positions I currently own. I don't mind it being a 10 year long hold if P-Metals prices are gonna be suppressed. I know I am holding good companies and recessions will come and go. What I meant by "buying more" is getting into other sectors. Theres probably better things I could do with that money, but life threw me a lemon, and I m gonna make lemonade.

Why speak as if you know how the market works?

Averaging up or down doens't matter. If you averaged up on Apple you'd be getting shit on right now.

Stocks can go either way and if it were as simple as averaging down is a bad idea then short everything you think is a bad idea to average down and come back to us a millionaire.

Markets move on slight trends but very unpredictable. People make serious money on averaging down on something they believe in. If something was a good buy at 20 but its dropped to 15 because of oil prices and some technical difficulties that have no reflection of the quality of assets and management you better damn well believe i'd buy more at 15.

Don't give out advice because you made stupid decisions in your past. You could lose your house down payment by averaging up too. You could lose everything by just having it in the market. There is risk on either side.

Also a 4-7% stop loss for any sort of "long" term investment is stupid because stocks can move that much daily as a result of very little and bounce back the next day. I get it though, you lost your money so now you are extremely risk adverse. But don't go around telling everyone that because what you did lost money that is isn't a good idea.

[m5art]

If you bucking the trend, averaging down is not a good idea. Remember Nortel? At 100, down from 200 was it a good idea?

Thanks roopi! I crossed the line when I was suggesting 'what to do' instead of simply offering my experience and what I've done.

Any interesting trades out there? I am greedily eying (sp?) APPL but I think the market has lost it's legs.

I am buying a little more Temple (TPH) as it's the only 'real' Fort McMurray hotel play. Warning; very boring stock. But it has a close to 10% dividend.

I've checked out TPH in the past but never did buy it. I ended up going with BTB.UN as my REIT. I believe te divy is around 8-9% at the current levels. I've had it for about 2 years so I've had a good gain on it.

Latest purchase was NVS and the rest of te trading account is sittin in cash. Just don't see anything I really like at the moment.

[ZenOps]

Another vote for cash.

Market and commodity crash probability is high, parking it on the sidelines might be wise.

Or you might want to be shorting insurance companies.

[Feruk]

Cash, and SPP. Bought 10,000 shares of SPP last week at $0.125. If they get the financing they need, it could be a very fast expansion from here in both coffee store locations and share price.

While I dont know the specifcs for that stock, just because earnings come out + or - doesent always mean anything. The stock price might be reflecting the expected results before the news came out.

[GoChris]

Right, good results might be lower than expectations.

I think I'll buy more once this downturn levels out.

You can pick and choose a thousand stocks out of hindsight and pick out a trend you wish to see but at the end of the day averaging down or averaging up doesn't matter because the stock can always and will always till the day the markets don't exist move either direction.

By throwing in Nortel then you are demonstrating Behavioural Finance 101. The big and memorable collapse of one company that would have been a poor decision to average down on seems to outweigh the thousands of other stocks that have gone the other way. I can think of tons of companies that have upwarded trended for years only to crash and i've seen companies downward trend recover.

Point in case, for anyone who averaged down in 2008 would be up huge right now. Anyone who averaged up in 2007 would be crying. At the end of the day whatever you choose to invest in and what strategy you choose doesn't matter because the market can and always has been unpredictable.

For instance, you look at TBE which was looking nice at 2.70+ and a strong pick in many cases. Crashed to 2 bucks in under a month time. Still a great buy and if you averaged down at 2 dollars to 2.20 you'd be sitting pretty right now that is has begun recovery.

Same can be said about those who bought into rim at 12-20 and averaged down at 6 bucks. You look at Prem Watsa who averaged his $60 position down when it was $6 and has turned a huge profit as a result.

I'm not saying any strategy is correct or incorrect. I'm simply stating to disregard one because of a bad experience doesn't necessarily make it a bad one.

On another note, BB & TBE up nicely today.

Picked up AD & WCP & KEY & more TBE yesterday.

I never said it was a superior trading strategy I was simply debating your point in that fact it is a poor strategy. You may have taken my discussion out of context but I simply state that I find both in many ways equal and either strategy can be good or bad.

Both can produce gains and losses equally.

For a stock like PKI.TO, looks like a Weighted MA period of 1,6 seems to be right more often that wrong. I havent done a comprehensive optimize/back test on the chart so it might not work long term. For many stocks, a daily MA of 1,3 seems to work.

Had you used a 1,6 - you would have been sold out before the stock tanked.

[AudiPWR]

Any opinions on PXX.TO (Blackpearl resources) ?

[revelations]

PXX is a short right now on my charts - although I wouldnt enter this position at this point (usually wait until indicator cross).

[AudiPWR]

Just sold my telus, entered PXX... See how it goes.

[dawerks]

Is APPL a buy here or a value trap? $42/share cash!! Harder and harder to resist. $44/EPS, Forward/trailing PE around 10.

Or are they going to flatline like Microsoft? Er, stupid question to ask what will happen in the future... how about, does anyone else own APPL or planning on buying?

Just a quick reminder - spring break up is going to be particularly bad this year. Record snowfalls up north, and a number of companies have indicated that break up is coming earlier than last year (which was early as well).

Probably effect Q1 results slightly but mainly Q2.

How do you like InvestorLine? I'm thinking of switching over since it would be much more useful for me to move money around between my other BMO accounts.

I like it just fine. I'm the farthest from a power user. They have lots of research and comparison methods that I haven't even gotten into yet. Being able to fund easily from my BMO accounts help. Real time quotes when you want to buy is nice. Also you can pool all your accounts to a single user id and then get the $9 flat free pricing.

Anyone have any input on playing the APPL swings?

Right now it seems to be a falling knife. I don't want to try and catch it but I reaaaly want to buy. Problem is everytime I man up to an order, it's down another 2-3%

How low can it go?? I buy in multiple purchases, but can't even bring myself to pull the trigger on the first one.

This thing needs a stock split :)

Anyone active in the pennies market? This is just stupid, it was actually up 90,000% at a high of $2.84. A lot of instant millionaires made on this one

AAPL stock is in trouble. It was making new lows as the markets went up a touch recently.

ACUR was a beautiful text book former runner play. Up 75% today. It makes a big run every time it comes out of consolidation. Very low risk, high reward play.

I was going to pull the trigger today. Really (like the last 10 days, really!).

It shot up, still on the sidelines.
