[max_boost]

How low can rol.a go? Might have to average down soon haha

[Z_Fan]

ROL.A at .79 now. That POS stock has lost me so much money. It's now my second worse holding to RSG.

[yellowsnow]

wow.. rol.a FTL. I hear rumors of a merger, but with the way this stock is heading, i might bail out soon lol.

[AhabTheArab]

[benyl]

yeah, I am close to losing money on Rol.a

I bought at $0.67 a while ago and averaged up... I think I might be averaging down soon... hahaha

0.67 ? so youve been holding for two years?

Haha so did I but I sold for a gain a while back...


I sold out of it though up around a 1.00 ...boy am I glad...

[benyl]

yeah, I have been holding forever... haha. Waiting for $4

hahahahaha

[liquid1010]

I don't really know what's going on with ROL.A... perhaps just the market sentiment right now in the Canadian markets.

[max_boost]

It's all red. Everything is red. :whipped:

[Schwa]

i bought a few grand of royal bank, no more speculation for me.

[Rav4Guy]

^ with rising interest rates... that's one sector that'll be hit hard.

[liquid1010]

Rav4Guy.... if you don't mind me asking (you don't have to answer if you wish not too).... what was your reason for recommending NIC?

[bigbadboss101]

SRU was up .15, now down .15. What a swing. Looks like the market is dropping in general.

Of course I don't mind but please take into consideration that my posts are not direct recommendations and at no point do I instruct anyone to purchase any. At the time of my posts, I do not personally hold any of the mentioned securities unless stated.

The stocks mentioned in my posts have certain merits to them and would not at anytime post up stock symbols without prior research.

couple of quick points,
1. Pure Nickel is Canada's largest Nickel producer with proven resources
2. completed funding for aggressive winter drilling program
3. Their MAN project looks extremely good with others right behind it.
4. Management runs it as a business which means they purchase assets based on value, not "I thinks"

[badseed]

For those of you who are into Uranium stocks,

Any insight as to why U & SXR have been free fallin the last couple of days?

U seems to be trading under NAV currently based on holdings and spot prices.

All I wanted to know, thanks :D

I find the company compelling now that I'm doing some DD on it. I'm still not sure what to make of them entirely.... they look like they have a strong base, but their P/BV makes me second guess that to a degree.

[Rav4Guy]

They came in and did a presentation in our boardroom. Most of it is in the presentation on their website should you want to go through it.

TAke it for what it's worth.

It's just another consolidation. These corrections are meant to drive investors out of an early bull market. Hang in there. The trend is your friend. There is still tremendous upside.

That's what James Dines keeps saying in the newsletter :D

I've never read any of the Dines letters, but I hear he's quite the character; does he give specific stock picks in his letter? Would be interesting to read one of those.

As for U, I really have no clue what's going on there :dunno:

[bigbadboss101]

You guys know anything about Winfield Resources?

WWF-X. Not much news but prices straight up. Any insights?

[yellowsnow]

Looks like rol.a is finally being taken over by action energy

BNN is reporting that UxC is now saying the price of U has peaked and we can expect to see a larger disconnect with the U spot price and the performance of U stocks.

bought some IFR.V today, IMO has reached a bottom (hopefully). I think they begin drilling July 21st.

The latest pick.

Silver Spruce Resources Inc (SSE)

Do your own research.

[Canmorite]

RIMM reported 73% better then expected earnings. Up 26.00 in afterhours :eek:

3 for 1 stock split too.

[liquid1010]

Rav4guy.... nice move with NIC today! Any ideas as to why?

[benyl]

haha NIC is up, but I am still down as I bought at $1.50. Hopefully it moves to $2.

[rc2002]

Originally posted by liquid1010

Just about everything else was up today as well - hard to find any bargains. But I did manage to pick up some PTU at $0.80 today though.

[liquid1010]

I don't have as much time as I hoped to do my own research, so I'm struggling to find anything I like right now :thumbsdow

With that said, I'm becomming more and more weary of the Chinese Mega Machine. One of these days that 45x earnings market is going to crumble, and I think that will drive the correction in the North American Markets. That truly scares me right now....... :drama:

[bubbley]

What do you guys think of this company:
http://www.genesisworldwide.com

some interest stuff going on.. they just listed on tsx as GWI.. and trade pinksheets as GWOW at 0.040

NOW, they are offering a "PUBLIC OFFERING" as for their PR:

Mississauga, Ontario - June 25, 2007 - Genesis Worldwide Inc. ("Genesis" or the "Company"), announced today that it has filed a final prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada in connection with its initial public offering of 10,000,000 common shares at a price of $2.00 (£0.94) per share. The offering is being underwritten by a syndicate of underwriters led by Canaccord Adams, including CIBC World Markets Inc. and TD Securities Inc. In addition, the underwriters have been granted an option to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 common shares at a price of $2.00 per share at any time within 30 days of the closing of the offering.

The Company has applied and has received conditional listing approval to list its common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange. It has also applied for its common shares to be admitted to trading on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange.

It is expected that the offering will close on or about July 3, 2007, and is subject to customary closing conditions


There is alot of talk about this at other forums primarily US based forums, so all this is supposed to happend by July 3rd BUT this is also stated clearly in the PR (for the US guys getting all hyped for no reason):

The common shares to be issued pursuant to this proposed offering have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or any applicable exemption from the registration requirement of such Act. Accordingly, this press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or same would be unlawful prior to qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.


Additional info from TSX:

Genesis Worldwide Inc. - An application has been granted for the original listing in the Industrial category of 36,474,744 common shares of Genesis Worldwide Inc. (the “Company”), of which 30,982,858 common shares will be issued and outstanding, and 5,491,886 common shares will be reserved for issuance upon completion of a public offering (the “Offering”).

Listing of the common shares will become effective at 5:01 p.m. on Friday, June 29, 2007 in anticipation of the Offering closing on Tuesday, July 3, 2007. The common shares, other than those which have not been distributed to the public, will be posted for trading at the opening on July 3, 2007.

What do you guys think of this stock? and what do u think all this public offering at $2 means for the pps for this stock? Could it be a good lotto play..

Are these picks from the newsletter? Would these newsletters have a good track record? I have an itch to invest in all these recommendations, but I'm a little bit weary...made a bit of money off the other picks - PFM, SRU...

[Canmorite]

Did the ticker symbol change for PFM?

[troyl]

PTU 0.72 YIKES! Whats going on?

[rc2002]

:werd: It went as low as 0.69.

It's rebounding a little bit now but my confidence in it is shot. Time to put in a stop loss before it free falls some more. :(

Could have just been a healthy flush for it, Or leak of news?

[djayz]

:eek: Im suprised but im glad i didnt buy in the 80s...now the chance to pick up those cheap shares. Like ive said before PTU is more of a long term hold...sure its a penny stock now but in the long run itll have what many larger companies have.

Not sure what caused the drop in price today but i think somebody decided to sell out because there was a large chunk for sale at market earlier.

[ramminghard]

Has anyone been following Falcon Oil (Fo) lately?

[Canmorite]

It bounced at 1.25, but I wouldn't step in front of a moving train.

[bigbadboss101]

Folks check out wwf. Up .215 to .60.

However I bought @ the wrong time, hopefully wont drop too much lower.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

U guys should check out TJS.VN

Its got one of the biggest molybdenum deposits in north america, they just started drilling and if bush is planning to spring up as many nuclear plants as he says he's going to, moly is going to sky rocket. And thats not including the buying just from China

[liquid1010]

Originally posted by bigbadboss101

Wait for a pullback. When I say that I don't mean a full on pullback, but a consolidation in the trend.

See how there are about 2-4 days in a row of hard buying, then a week of consolidation where the price ticks down, but there are long wicks on the bottom of the candles?

Thats where you want to buy. Set a stop below those low days.

[bobby_lu]

How bout that AOS (PFM) since I bought back in at 1.50 :bigpimp:

[bigbadboss101]

I have bought sold AOS 5 times over the last three months or so. Good news down the road and for now I am day trading it.
SRU in the same situation for me but I also have a bit in my RRSP account in case to keep long term.

[bigbadboss101]

Sold cxx months ago. PTU, I have been in and out and made some $. However I also purchased at $1.68 or so and have averaged down. Will still need to go up up for me to be in the positive.

Breakwater and Equinox still cruising up. Should have held :-)

[broken_legs]

well they say they will begin clinical trials in 2008/2009... if all goes well and testing shows this to be a viable alternative for insulin, it could become substantial in a few years. So far all tests show that safflower insulin works just as well as pharmaceutical insulin. i'm guessing 2010-2012, it will become big.

you guys should check out GBDX.PK
a couple of you already know about this, hell..this thread is what introduced me to GBDX

its on the verge of a buyout and potentially a 5-10 bagger...or if not it will explode and crash to the ground.

either way its been good to me! bought in at various points....0.003 .005 .007 now its .0125 and was sitting at .02 a couple of days ago, do some research on it!

Just a word of warning to anyone, be very careful with sub-pennies.

[liquid1010]

Just out of curiosity Canmorite, why do you say that? I know they are more prone to behavioural changes and are therefore more volatile. Any other reasons?

[Canmorite]

They tend to dump faster then they go up, and are much more volatile due to market makers/large holders then larger pps stocks. Also, flippers.

Also, a large percentage of the companies are corrupt. I've seen great breakouts, then days later bankruptcy announcements. They're very hard to predict and just flat out annoying to trade.

Just personal experiences, I've seen a few make 100K's off these stocks, but these guys are paid pumpers or have an inside line.

[benyl]

SGP on a tear the last two days!

[liquid1010]

ROL.A has moved itself up to about 1.05, so I think I may fight my way out of that one sometime soon. I just want out of that situation.... I don't trust that stock at all.

GCE.TO still on a tear, but the new financing may keep any big moves in check for now.

[Z_Fan]

AOS (PFM) up nicely today too. Unfortunately I sold mine at $2.17, bought it back at $2.00 and sold it yesterday at $2.13. Ooops. So now I don't have any and it decides to run.

[ringmaster]

HI everyone, Im new to this thread and Im trying to learn a little more about the market and how it works.

If a company is going to be bought out, what would this do their share price? to the "takeover" company share price? Does a buyout just mean that company X proposes to buy all outstanding shares from the investors of company Y for a certain dollar amount?

[Canmorite]

If the takeover bid has a premium to it, then the shares will rise to that price. Case and point, Alcan.

[Canmorite]

GOOG -40.8 -7.42%. On better then expected earnings, but they have been doing a lot of spending. Needs to hold $500, it stopped at $510.

[bigbadboss101]

SWG. Dropped big earlier on, and then rebounded to twice the price of the day low. Still a lot lower than prevous day's price.

Well it's a double for me and I've traded it twice now but I do have my original position again. I sold everything at .40 but bought back at .35 yesterday. I'll probably sell half again at about .45 and then let the rest ride till I see the results.

[ringmaster]

What do you guys think about Verenex? (VNX), Its an oil and gas exploration company based in calgary with operations in Lybia, France, and Alberta. They seem to be doing quite well with three recent oil finds, and plans to drill 2 more wells in 2007 and an offshore well near france. They seem to have been doing quite well lately, trading at their all time high just monday.
