Mckenzie, I'm with you on ASX... although it was already on the downslide when I got out at $2.20. Right now it's sitting at a lowly $1.80.

I dont trade on technicals for junior stocks....news release will often push any sort of TA aside. I am a buy and hold medium to long term and most of my DD is done through comparitives and looking at the company as a whole...management, experience, management, management, projects, geographical location, political risk, commodity risk, # of shares, etc.

On a side note, if anyone wants to dump all their ROK.V Roca shares on the market and push the price down I'd buy ya' a beer or ten. This one is a pretty safe bet for a double in my opinion over the next 12 months. As long as the mill gets up and running they have ore to sell...do any sort of CF analysis on this one and you will see what I mean.

WT = warrants. Gives the owners of these warrants an option to purchase additional shares at a pre-determined price.

example: 1wt + 0.50 = 1 share of xyz.

Sometimes these warrants are tradeable on the open market. They have an expiry date on them as well.

Came across DAY.UN

15cents/share/month dividend. SP is at 9.47 right now.

This works out to a 19% annual return based on dividends, provided that the share price stays the same and they don't change their dividends.

Don't have any myself, but seems like a good buy for any people wanting to invest long term :dunno:

Do your own research, though.

Split. They decided to split into a nickel producer and a uranium producer. I think it was a 1 share of NWI got you 0.75 shares of NI (the new company).

Yea, I'm looking at it more as a buy and hold for a bit. I have a bent towards undervalued companies. With a low P/E, low D/E ratio, and solid earnings. Only thing is, it can be a very volatile sector.

I'm still hanging on to GCE too, hoping for that turnaround.

Mckenzie
03-16-2007, 10:10 AM
My new picks are TEL and CGT.

TEL is following a similar structure to EFR (.07 to over $4 this year) and URA (.20 to over $1 then back down to around .55 now).

They have just purchased 6 old mines are are currently drilling their properties in the 4 corners region. I think it is quite undervalued at .75 right now and will be a good long term hold.

http://www.trigonuraniumcorp.com/

Check out ths management on this team...very qualified:

http://www.trigonuraniumcorp.com/corporate/senior_management/
http://www.trigonuraniumcorp.com/corporate/uranium_development_team/

Interview with CEO on front page too.

Columbus Gold Corp is a Nevada gold play...low geopolitical risk which is nice (as opposed to the south america plays). They have already had a NI 43-101 Tech report on both Golden Mile and Utah Clipper property recommending further exploration. I think this will be good for a short to medium term trade.

http://www.columbusgoldcorp.com/s/Home.asp

Also one of Casey's recommendations.


URA is posed for news any time now and I think its way oversold. I still think this company has excellent potential for 2007. Holding long on this one.

Good luck to all out there in the choppy market.

I'm still looking at my position in LVN... it's something that really intrigues me. Insider buying is excessive, and there is some mystery relating to the property agreement's they hold.

GNY has sure taken a beating, although I'm still looking at is as a solid NG holding come the end of the summer season....

Canmorite
03-19-2007, 02:12 PM
V.LVN is coming up to past resistance of 0.22. Heavy volume today too, may be time to offload a few.

GNY has got a loooong way to go before it stops declining and consolidates, before a run upwards.

Natural Gas futures aren't looking really strong right now.

V.URA up 9% and T.CDU up 12%. w00t

liquid1010
03-19-2007, 03:05 PM
Yea canmorite, LVN has hit the .21 - .22 resistance... but if it can break through....

I think GNY has good fundamentals more than technicals. They've missed their targets for the past few years, and I think they are very undervalued....

Canmorite
03-19-2007, 03:30 PM
If it can break through 0.22 and hold, it has a high chance of going higher.

I have no idea what GNY is like fundamentally, but I'm assuming there stock price/performance is closely tied to Natural Gas prices.

I'm slowly being squeezed out of short position in natural gas, so you never know, it could go higher.

I'm thinking about getting into the stock trading scene in the next couple weeks, I know there's been some recent drops, so is it a good time to get in now, or should I wait until the markets are more stable?

What's the minimum amount of money to start investing with to make it worthwhile? Sorry if these questions have been answered, I'm not about to sift through 70 pages.

liquid1010
03-19-2007, 04:43 PM
It was mentioned once that you should devote at least one hour per week, per stock you own towards doing research.

It's tough to find the time, and decipher all the info. If you're going to take a stab at it, I would recommend starting with at last about 4-5k, and a minimum of about 3-4 holdings.

If you're just starting, I would only invest money you can afford to lose.

Hakkola:

Well I started out with only $5000 in the stock section of my portfolio but after a few hit and runs, I'm up to $6500 now. It's chump change compared to some of the heavy hitters on this site but it's nice to see 30% returns in less than 3 months.

The 3 picks I made money off of had a turnaround time of less than a week and 2 of them were from this site. I do zero research, I figured the member's reputation being on the line is good enough. :) Majority of my holdings are in mutual funds which are solid and steady for 10%/year and whatever I do in my stock section is just like adding spice to things.

RX_EVOLV
03-19-2007, 05:53 PM
IMO $5000 is a pretty good place to start, I think thats the min $ required to open a bmo investorline account.

IMO I find ~$2500 a pretty good holding price with good potential return given the ~$29/trade commission. But this means w/ $5000 you are almost putting all your eggs in one basket.

When I see a highrisk stock ( read: TSX-V) i like I tend to buy ~ $2000 at first.. if it drops.. I buy more, if it goes up I sell. Until either the stock runs out of the stream or it exceeds a certain % of my total portfolio. Now that i've been upgraded to active trader status ($9.95/commission) I've found myself to trade more often and at lower volume.

Right now imo I think the market is still volatile so I try to have ~ 20% cash in hand at the end of each trading day just in case .

Energy sector can go through a correction but the financial sector will keep it afloat and out of the negatives.

I made money off of:

URA
NPE
RSG

My investment style is different than other members, I don't hold for the long term, I am all about here and now. I used my $5K to hold on to each of those stocks, one at a time. I made roughly $300-$500 on each of them and quickly sold it. I also made some quick money off WIN and RR.

I'm with BMO investorline and their requirement for Active trader status is 30 trades in the last 3 months and you are re-evaluated at the end of each month.

you get $9.95/trade ( +$0.1/share if its > 1000 shares on stock thats > $1 .. or something like that.. cant remember) plus Level II ( which i find to be very useful!) and real time quote streaming.

So if you do 10 trades in one month do you qualify? Is your L2 free or do you have to pay?

When my friends ask me where is a good place to start I say start with research. I do a lot more than 1 hour per day of reading, probably closer to 2-3 but I enjoy doing this kind of stuff. I think one also needs to read about industries and the overall economy in general, not just the company, so you can get an idea of the big picture.

For example, it is safe to say anything China wants is hot right now, due to their booming economy. If you read that China wants to import a lot of aluminum, then you can infer that aluminum stocks may go up.

I'm always hesitant to give people advice though, or stock "tips", because I do not want to be responsible for them losing their money.

As for a good dollar value to start with, the minimum I say is 2000 dollars. This is because commissions (unless you're an active trader) are basically $30 or 1.5% whichever is higher, for most equities. So at 2000 you're basically paying 1.5% commission even at $30. Anything less than 2000 and you are paying more than 1.5% commission becuase the minimum charge is $30, and you're losing profits.

To start research, I recommend investopedia.com, and browsing on some stock forums. Hotstockmarket.com has a great noob section where a lot of basic quesitons are answered.

liquid1010
03-19-2007, 10:36 PM
As someone who has always based most of his trades on fundamentals rather than technicals.... I thought it might be a good idea to "test" my technical thoughts (I'm learning). Any comments/suggestions are welcome:

URA - Might be primed to break. MACD seems bullish, and volume decent.

GCE.T - Looks like it's oversold (RSI), and might be rebounding soon. steady volume, and positive divergence.

CCI.T - Support around $20. MACD doesn't look great, but is coming around if it continues to creep in the right direction

F - Ford's MACD is looking like it might just be heading in the right direction. Steady volume, and enough to bring it back to around $8.60.

yep 10 trades/ month will qualify you 3 months later.. or in my case I only had 6 trades in Dec, but made up for it in Feb .
and Level II is free

Nobody trading on Tradefreedom? You start off at ~$10/trade and if you do 10 trades a month, you're eligible for L2.

I'm in the process of switching over from RBC as we speak. I opened an eTrade account as well and wasn't really too impressed with what they offered so I'm closing that shortly.

How easy is it to wire money back and forth? I'm with RX because I like to go b/w my checking/banking/line of credit conveniently.

If tradefreedom is easy though then I may consider it.

edit: Free L2 is tempting though because I don't think RBC offers this for free.

See the thing with all these other places that offer 9.99 or cheaper trading charge you for shares over 1000 that are $1 or more. So if you go to trade 10000 shares youll end up paying close to $100 in commisions. This happened to me at TD when i made a trade of 25000 shares and ended up paying close to $400 dollars in commision. E-Trade its 9.99 as long asyou have $50,000 in your account or make 30 trade per quarter and you qualify every quarter.

I can now make trades of 50000 shares and still only pay 9.99 compared to $600 if i was still with TD.

I've used tradefreedom in the past. Their base platform (Edge) is used by E-trade, Questrade, TD, etc etc.

It comes down to customer service and commission costs for me. Questrade has been very good so far. Minimum 4.95 + 0.01 cents per share OR 9.95 flat per trade, unlimited shares.

GCE.T - Looks like it's oversold (RSI), and might be rebounding soon. steady volume, and positive divergence.

V.URA-Love it. Still in it from 2 weeks ago. up almost 20% so far.

T.GCE-Overall trend is still down. You can play the oversold bounces but thats a 2-3 days trade, not a hold. Divergence doesn't help when you have tons of people still selling.

CCI.TO-Support is at the low of 18.98 last week, so I'd put a stop at 18.85. Price right now is 20.63, so you're risking 1.78 a share. 1000 Shares*1.78=$1,780.00 of risk. A little high for most...

F-Don't try and catch a falling knife. It is bouncing at ~7.60 but be very careful. Tight stops are key :thumbsup:

Just putting that out there for anyone, not trying to critique the OP.

TEL is Mackenzie's pick.

Transferring from your online banking seems easy enough, but I'm not sure on withdrawing. My account just finished setting up this afternoon. After I poke around it a bit, I'll give you some more feedback.

Yes, but for those of us who don't have $50,000 in our accounts and/or don't make 30 trades per quarter, we're still stuck paying $30 a trade.

TF's fees/commissions are more suitable for my sort of trading anyways:
http://www.tradefreedom.com/en/tradingprodfees/feescommissions.asp

Plus they offer a lot more to me than RBC did, atleast unless I became an active trader.

Etrade is $20 / trade, not $30.

Etrade also screws you when you withdraw... $50 to take out $2000.

Two thumbs up for URA today..finally getting back to near even on this one lol.

As for TEL, I wish I had more free cash for this one...could be a real winner.

I also picked up som NSM today. Could be starting production this year and I think a $1 near term producer with good promotion has the opportunity to run further.

But! Defenitely kicking myself for selling out of ROK at 1.70 last week...made a small profit but it could have been a lot higher!!

Good luck to all! :thumbsup:

interesting day today! ORA up 18%, easy flip :D

Very interest trading today for nsm. I guess some guy accidently hit sell at market, which dropped the price to $0.90 and triggered a few stop loses. I managed to pick up a few shares during that stop and sold it when it bounced back up. Day trading FTW haha. But yeh I really like NSM, lots of production and is actually going into production with other plays in the work as well.. it should pop soon... i hope.

TEL Im still doing abit of DD on it but it looks like a potential winner!

AUN i've mentioned it before @ ~ $1.25-1.30.. Its now at ~$1.50. They should be testing the mill right now if not already doing so, and the Feasibility report is expected to come out in April ( supppose to be in Jan/Feb :( . Given the cooper price and silver price right now, I think once they officially anounce production to being this stock will flyyy

ASX.. getting frustrated... losing patience..

PLE.. should commence drilling anytime now.. why is the IP survey still not completed.

URA.. looks good but I think it might just be riding the wind of Cameco's news a little bit so.. might lose some steam. Its going up a bit too much too fast with no news imo.

URA getting hammered today as the private placement purchaser sells or shorts to raise funds for the PP shares...typical. At least the shares are flow-through which indicates some exploration work will be happening soon.

NSM had a new property acquisition today...good news there.

TEL will be commencing drilling in a couple weeks here.

CGT has started drills on the four metals project and has also entered into an agreement for Cordex to explore over the next two years.
