Sure wish I got in on that train, when did it first get mentioned in here?

I think I first mentioned it here around 6 cents. My average is 5.5 cents pre split, $1.44 post :D. I'm disappointed to see that the earnings weren't posted late last night, hopefully they will be release this afternoon. It was confirmed that they had announced they would be released by March 31st during a small investor conference.

Prime entry point would of been right after the public offering if you didn't want the risk of buying a penny stock on the OTC. Think shares could of been had for $3.20-$3.40 if I'm not mistaken.

Earnings should be out tonight, and will look good. Very excited to see where we are at in a year or so. If it hits $20 I'll take everyone in this thread for dinner and rides in my new supercar LOL.

INA was a bit of a disappointment, I was hoping that .075 would break and run up to 9-10 cents. Oh well. I'll hang around for a bit. Kind of a fun play.

Niko resources (NKO) looks like another beat up stock that could jump 50%+ pretty easily in the next couple of months. Not sure if anybody here follows drilling in India, but reliance or BP could pick them up for lunch money.

Any takers on NKO? Up 20% today ;)

Has NKO done anything to warrant their rise or is it just another case of defaulting on debt and hitting the basement and rebounding a bit?

So what's next for these guys? Seem to have lost some momentum since the Israel approval.

I bought because you seem like a legit anonymous investing advice source :D

When did he originally post this? Are they already broken out from that point?

[bjstare]

So what's everyone using for their trades? I've done a bit of research, and I'm thinking of doing a Questrade TFSA. Any better alternatives I'm missing?

Momentum from this stock will gain from the retirement or removal of Harvey Berger from the board. While the approval of Iclusig in other countries is great for revenue, and the long term position of the company it is not what most of the shareholders want. Most of the big money in Ariad wants a buy out. It is rumoured that buy outs have been offered in the $14-$16 range however the current CEO has declined the offers. Alex Denner, who I'm sure you know if your investing in biotech has been actively trying to make this happen because he wants his huge position bought out so he can move on to the next big win. Just my $0.02, it's all an educated theory.

[riander5]

Went to scotia itrade from questrade because I couldn't get away from questrades fucking ECN fees

Would you still go for cxv? or phm or has the momentum hit a full stop

[know1edge]

[icky2unk]

Took the gamble on PHM and CXV

[riander5]

I went on PHM with a 6% trailing stop on them. CXV is too crazy

[BavarianBeast]

Just took a big position on ECA.. Should be able to climb out of this hole in the long run.

They do have quite the climb.

Any particular reason you think now's the time to buy? Shockwaves from the Shell/BG deal? Something else?

[BavarianBeast]

No particular reason to be honest, just sold off some other stock and was looking for a spot to park the money for a year or two. I had been following Encana for some time and figured anything within the $10-13 range would be a bargain.

[riander5]

But they are at 14.62 :o

[BavarianBeast]

Depends what market your playing them on.

Do you just have most of your money in US or what advantage do you see for their US listing vs TSX? Volume is higher, but TSX volume is good enough?

That's fair enough... There seem to be a few good options as far as major / large co's that would be a suitable and safe place to park some money.

Though, when you mention a stock, it's always worth asking
:bigpimp:

[BavarianBeast]

No advantage really. I would say about 40% of my money is in US right now. I only bought on the NYSE because I had just sold a company on the Nasdaq and I didn't want to take my profits on the spike in the US dollar over the past 6 months. I'm just banking that the US dollar will continue to climb.

I like the theory. I'm not in for a ton, so I've decided to park it and hope it breaks out.

Here is my contribution to the board - a good 1 year hold -

KCK

Also what are peoples thoughts on LXE? Drilled some mediocre montney well but appear to be in the oil window for the play so massive gas rates aren't to be expected. Havent looked at how much land they have but my surface land guy says they have tons... Ill have to look further into it.

[birdman86]

So what's driving this (modest) oil rally? Doesn't seem like there's been any news...

I'm holding it until 0 cents or 20 cents. Whatever comes first.

[rx7_turbo2]

Looks like they've got production levels back up?

Whatever the reason, I got back in when it dipped back down to .055 if it gets to .10. I'll take it and be out for good, don't know enough about what's happening there.

I've done well on BNK over the last couple weeks as well.

[BavarianBeast]

Just a heads up, Parex just had a 119m bought deal to fund exploration and opportunistic acquisitions.

Makes you wonder if they've been in talks with any of the other columbian producers.

Chucky gamba said about a year ago they had been approached with offers but were declined.

Me thinky PTA and CNE are looking like awesome buys. $.02.

They could maybe pick up PTA but CNE with that funding you mentioned seems way out of reach no?

PTA looks great on paper but it scares me how it does nothing but go down despite being 'the best value oil company on the planet' haha

Decided to get in for a quick swing yesterday but RBC Direct requires a pink sheet agreement over the phone, and then I found out it's not eligible for trading in my TFSA, so I said fuck it.

That's a good looking 30-day chart! Had it been previously mentioned in this thread?


And speaking of cheap-stock darlings in this thread: what happened to INA since last week?

Anyone buy MYL last week after the Teva news came out last week? I missed out on a nice ~20% bump :banghead:

[ercchry]

speaking of pot....

grabbed some BLO yesterday. figured a little diversification would be good and that looks like an interesting play. just wish i found it a few months ago

[ercchry]

whats your target price on ARIA BavarianBeast? its having a nice little run, but i only grabbed may contracts, they are up a bit, but nothing crazy yet

[BavarianBeast]

I'd love to see a buyout in the $16-$20 range...Pipe dream, sure, but ideally that's my play on the stock.

Though I would unload my shares at any spikes over $12 right now. I'm up pretty good on it now but think the run up has just begun. Lots of momentum building for them right now.

[Jlude]

Have never posted in this thread before, but I thought it was appropriate to vent about the money I just lost on the USD. I've been stock piling USD for the past year and within a month, it's down almost 8 cents. Brutal. I hope it recovers.

Anyone doing anything with the little drop in O&G stocks this morning (due to the election? haha)? I'm thinking there's some money to be made there over the next day or two - there will probably be a quick rebound.

[Sugarphreak]

...

[bjstare]

^That's likely true, I was just thinking with regards to the 2-5% movement we saw today.

I'm definitely going to wait for the review to happen though, then probably buy some more O&G when they (likely) drop.

If investors are taking a bath, it's the perfect time to buy more!

I bought a few.

Husky was down about 2% earlier this morning, added to my position in the mid 25 range.

Also got some Petroamerica for 12 cents. Should be a good gamble.

[max_boost]

One of the few times averaging down worked. Pacific Rubiales. :eek:

My trading has been sparse lately (got laid off)...

But, I picked up 150 shares of XBI if anyone cares. Usually nobody does. :(

I got my pop to buy into this thing at 145 in August, I should have done the same. :dunno: It doesn't dip very often like this though, decent buying opportunity.

This ETF is a strong motherfucker.

[BavarianBeast]

LQDT.

Buy today, sell in 6 months. $$

I looked into XBI about a year ago, I have been watching it since and kicking myself in the ass for not finding an entry. Perhaps I should now..

Wish you would have posted the LQDT idea yesterday :rofl:

Just curious, why such a bullish outlook over the next 6mo?

[riander5]

Agreed whats up with LQDT ^^

How many people here are holding Oil and Gas stocks over the next year?

Im pretty heavy into them, and i am up thankfully in my TFSA again but wondering how long the rebound may be.

For reference by largest holdings

LEG ATH SGY

[BavarianBeast]

LQDT spiked this morning just on better than expected earnings.

I think they have been beaten down to a pulp and believe they are making the right decisions and moves to spin the company in the right direction.

I think the ER today was a good indication of where this company is heading now and think there is a lot stirring with the DoD that will benefit them.

They experienced a drop today, and I think they'll rebound in the weeks ahead.

Well, after a shaky morning, things were up 5% on the day. Not a home run as far as pharma goes, but I'm happy.

Also considering DIRTT. Does anyone have any ideas about how the energy industry uncertainty will affect them? I haven't been able to figure out what percentage of their business is related to that (I'm assuming lots, but don't actually know).

Some info from the q1 results:

What I meant was with my RSP stuff... I had hit a wall on where to invest it and just had it all in cash. Mostly it is parked in FAP collecting dividends.

For the rest I finally let loose and took up a position in MEG the other day, and also picked up some L (Loblaws) and some DC.A (Dundee Corp).

I am also now the proud owner of a whole 10 shares of HCB... lol... I dunno, I just noticed I had 300$ left over in my otherwise inactive margin account for some reason so I tossed it out there, haha. Come on... make me 5$ so I can get a coffee!
