What was your entry point for CXX? (if you dont mind me asking). Nice to see PTU close at $1.00 i thought we would be back into the .80's amazing how it is holding up.

[djayz]

i was in cxx at 1.05ish and i sold at around 2 i think. i didnt have too many shares only 500 but i was planning on buying more but it wasnt moving so i sold out. Now look at that its doubled in less than a month :(

i might still buy in...hopefully monday will be a profit taking day when all the us investors come back.

[troyl]

Taken any PTU off table Djayz?

[djayz]

nope. sold at open and bought more than what i sold about half way through the trading day.

now its a hold until news.

[djayz]

i think im having a heart attack...Look at CXX :cry:

[Rav4Guy]

^ that it's up $0.11??

or these results?

- ML-40 returning 13.15 meters grading 0.101% U3O8 including 1.0 meter of
1.129% U3O8, and a second intercept grading 0.105% U3O8 over 4.50 meters,
all intervals included within 41.50 meters averaging 0.05% U3O8 at a depth
of less than 100 meters vertically.

- ML-44 returning 9.15 meters grading 0.104% U3O8, including 3.08 meters
of 0.218% U3O8 (the ML-44 Lower C Zone intercept is detailed below).

[djayz]

it was up to 3.50 earlier

and the fact that i held shares at 1.40 and sold out early and also the fact that i was going to buy in at 2.99 2 days ago.

[liquid1010]

Anyone still keeping tabs on ASX. Some insider selling going on.....

Pretty whipsaw for the last two months. Upward trend still intact...

[djayz]

should be a good day to pick up some uranium stocks

[snoop101]

Anyone into NOX.V .. I bought in yesterday. www.smallcaps.ca had a big write up on them. i like them because there canadian and wont have to worry about some dictator getting into power like in south america.

[troyl]

Yikes what happened to PTU today?

[bigbadboss101]

No news, may be speculations? Anywas I got a couple bucks worth. Hold NWI and PTU now although I haven't done too much research. Traded PLE for a little but will focus on a few and research. Want to find something to hold longer.

[urbannomad]

ML on the tsx, it has been goingstrong for a while! :thumbsup:

[liquid1010]

Anyone looking at Nortel? I know... dare I say that name.............

[djayz]

Originally posted by troyl

just a little selling from impatient people.
Ive got way too many shares at .95 to sell now but just wait a few weeks and we should see some new highs.

im still :banghead: because of cxx fucken thing is defying gravity and i keep holding out for the damn pullback which hasnt happened in like 2 weeks! :guns:

[benyl]

Man, I can't believe I sold DEN for such a small profit. Had I held on a few more months, I would have doubled my investment... haha

anymore undervalued picks djayz?

[djayz]

Im handing on to DEN but i just wish i bought more hah

Undervalued....ummm anything uranium is undervalued but entry points on most uranium stocks is getting hard. Just like cxx i waited and waited for a pullback but the biggest one was like .40 cents or 2% or something then the next day it was up 8-9%

ROK which is a moly stock is undervalued or will be soon. A mine is in production and once up could have the possibility of a buy out and if no buyout it will have a good SP by then. Im waiting to pick more of these up...they just announced last week that the construction was going to be delayed due to the weather out in BC...unfortunately i didnt have a dollar worth of cash to pick up some when all the idiots sold...now its back up to 1.50 but still a good buy in this range.

Only other cheap uranium stock besides PTU is UEX which still has alot of upside but if your willing to hang on buy some PTU i know ill be accumalting if it goes down below the 85cents mark. :thumbsup:

[RX_EVOLV]

im waiting for a good opportunity to get in on PTU, do you guys think it will go down to ~ 60cents ( PP price) ?

im also waiting for a good time ( and for money to free up) to get in on NOX.

[djayz]

if ptu is going to go down it has to be today. If it doesnt happen today the only thing that will bring it below 80 cents is bad news which i really doubt will happen.

I lost , on paper ofcourse, close to 8 grand on ptu from the drop today. I dont have any cash otherwise i would pick up another 8 grand worth of stock haha.

If your looking for a good uranium stock buy cxx i think im going to have to just jump in and hang on although i know its going to go down the day after i buy it.

[bigbadboss101]

Let's see what happens. Looking for an entry point for NOX.

[bigbadboss101]

Opinions on PDN and SXR?

[djayz]

PDN good buy
SXR good buy
I want in on Paladin but theres just not enough cash in my account for all this uranium

CXX is a good buy and it finally pulled back :clap:

[RX_EVOLV]

what do you guys think about AUN??

[Canmorite]

Originally posted by RX_EVOLV

Don't chase stock that are already high into their uptrend. You will be left hanging!

Same with PDN and SXR. Wait for a pullback or find something else.

[djayz]

:guns: i knew it...the day i buy cxx it will drop :thumbsdow

[bigbadboss101]

I got some CXX. It is a bit high even with the couple days of pullback?

[djayz]

it may be high right now but its a long term hold...next year they should be coming out with lots of good news which should drive the price up to 5-6 dollars easy. But before than there is a possibility of a buyout by alot of the bigger companies.

Im just dissapointed that i didnt get in lower but i know ill make some money in the long run so its okay. Just like ptu i held that for over a year and just bought on dips and what not and it paid off in the end.

[bigbadboss101]

NOX on the way up today.

djayz, if you want to talk stock sometimes, pm me your MSN.
I don't know much in the Uranium sector but learning.

[liquid1010]

ASX - Tim Coupland 1,500,000 shares! (granted options)

Moving a little this morning.

[Mckenzie]

Check out TRR today. I think this one is gonna be keeper.... 20 000 meter drill program and lots of insider support.

Check it out...moving nicely today!

Also great sample results yesterday from URA. I think this one will have a great year in 2007.

[RX_EVOLV]

wow nice jump w/ TRR, been following that one but never got a position!! Hopefully same reaction with PLE when they start drilling, which doesnt look like its happening soon. went from end of this year to early 2007. Wont surprise me if it wont happen for another 6-8 months.

still waiting for a good time to enter NOX, not alot of volume it seems. Got my hand on a small piece of AUN, looks like there's a support ~ $1.30 and if the La Negra mine is deemed economically viaible the mills could start turning in a matter of weeks and hopefully the stock will fly!

[Mckenzie]

Yeah I agree on PLE. I know it will pop once the IP is done and drilling is announced.

I think this is the time for smart money to accumulate these shares...I'm gonna be buying some more.

[snoop101]

My new stock i should make a little on is GOD.V ... So far it looks good. I made some good coin on NOX.V

Looks like PLE is heading lower before it heads higher.

Canmorite... I'm enjoying your blog. I haven't followed anything on there personally, as I do my own DD.... but good job.

[89coupe]

I haven't posted in here for some time but a lot of you know that I don't post bullshit.

I just had lunch with one of the Burmis boys and things are sounding very very promising.

Based on the conversation I had, I just purchased a large number of shares just moments ago.

If you want in on a really good company, buy BME.

Good Luck!

:bigpimp:

[Rav4Guy]

^ who do you trade through?

With it breaking through support levels.... it'll be a slow upward fight.

PLE closes at $0.61, up 13%. Could be a bounce off the bottom?

Thanks. I haven't posted lately as i'm in exam week, and the TSX and Venture don't look too strong, more so the Venture.

MA and RIMM for short/puts though...

Saw that today, definitely a suprise. I don't know what 'bottom' it's bouncing off of though. Might be Short sellers covering position too, as there is talk of massive shorters on it for the past few months.

Good volume today too, if we can break upwards and break that trendline i'd go long. As long as that downward trendline continues though, i'm staying away...

It's trading below all the moving averages except the 200, so it is still holding that at least. And it's still within the BB envelopes, too.

Thanks for the heads up.

Also, thanks for limiting your posts to ACTUAL information unlike some people that just post TONS stuff that is already on the run up.

[Canmorite]

If it's just starting it's run up, then it shows potential to go higher. I don't like to buy stocks in heavy declines.

Yeah I think their are quite a few people under water right now and tax loss selling could be upon us. I expect it to hover until the announcement of the drilling program.

I'm not I would want to be selling though because in less than 30 days from now the share price could be a lot more appealing (and if you wanted to get back in then your loss would be superficial....no capital loss deduction).

[natejj]

Anyone remember stock I mentioned a while back? VAV?

Hit 3.5 cents today.... I mentioned it at 2 cents.

:bigpimp: Alright. Let's do this. I don't have a lot of money but I bought what I can. haha

[bigbadboss101]

Lot of red's in my portfolio today, including PTU, NWI, NOX, CXX.

[snoop101]

Same here. Hopefully after christmas everything turns around? Does anyone know if Jan. is a good month?

I hope you bought at least 100000 shares, cuz if you wait all that time just to make a couple hundred bucks, if that, what a waste, especially after commissions.

HYPF went for quite the run this week. Been holding this stock for while. Got a nice entry around 0.12 few weeks ago, closed at 0.315 today.

[doublet]

Just wondering if anyone has played in the commodities/futures markets and what the results where. PM me if you are one of the few who have. Thanks

[Canmorite]

Commodities and Futures require a lot more risk/money management as you are usually playing on margin. You can have your ripped off and handed to you in a matter of minutues.

Mostly day traders in Futures, which makes it interesting.

[Kritafo]

anyone following TEL?

[Whitetiger]

wow, PKI.un is going strong

[Canmorite]

Way, way too far gone. Wait for a pullback, looks like one is forming today.

[djayz]

ahh the wonders of tax loss selling
i know i just sold a few things not for a loss but as a gain so that i dont have to pay as much tax next year as im looking forward to greater gains next year :D

[xtrader101]

These are my positions in my practice trading account

Sell short MRK (Merck) @ 43.27
Sell short MMM (3M) @ 78.50

This is not a recommendation.

[Kritafo]

re: TEL got into TEL when it was an .80 stock, wish I was in at .25 or lower though!

Uranium that is a very hot topic these days. We are still up a fair chunk of coin

[Mckenzie]

Yay finally some green for the portfolio today....must be Xmas.

Check out ASX today..... .24 gap up!!

Word is that Jim Dines did a great write up on this one in his last newsletter.

Good luck to all for a great 2007! :thumbsup:

[bigbadboss101]

Got some BLE today. Was a buck lower yesterday when I was looking at it. Then the recommendation from ROBTv analyst.

Look at P-T. Crazy run the last two days.

[Canmorite]

A lot of shorts covering probably.

[Ben]

Saw nothing but big big gains on mine today, end of the year was a good end to the year.

[CompactTuning]

I just opened a TD Waterhouse cash trading account before the Christmas break, and I've deposited some funds in to play with. Anyone have any good suggestions to start the new year out?

Thanks

[Kritafo]

is that Blue Pearl Mining?

[djayz]

Compact tuning if your looking for penny stocks if your still low on funds check out PTU - Purepoint Uranium. Do some research dont just jump into it. Check their website read what they do and how they do. Im only telling you the symbol and name of the company so that you can go and find out what they do by yourself and learn a little before just taking picks.

and Kritafo BLE is Blue Pearl Mining.

[Kritafo]

Thanks. I assumed it was. We just started playing penny and lower end stocks. It seems like they are more fun as well.

Thanks guys

[Gainsbarre]

I've been right with AEN and ECA thus far (got in at $1.35 and $46.55 respectively...still holding on to them), lets see if I can go 3 for 3.

I like PXE...think it is oversold at the moment, among other things.

You guys are hardcore. My monthly expenses really limit how much I can invest. But I did manage to pick up 1000 shares of both BME and ROL.A so I'll be really happy if each company just goes up by $1 :D

Some of you guys are going to make a nice killing if things go well.:bigpimp:
