I heard it on Tv, so I don't know if its entirely true. Basically people are purchasing protection, and they are willing to penny up for it. They are protecting their long positions. The more puts that are being bought, the more long positions in the market (theoretically).

When people are long, its bullish. Thats my deduction...

For technical screens I use volume gainers and 52 week high/lows. Volatility ones can be useful too. I've gotten rid of MACD and most of those indicators because they lag price action. I mostly do intra-day trading now, and by the time MACD crosses or you get a bottoming signal happening, price has already reversed.

production estimate for 2007 has been revised from 2.5 million pounds to approximately 2.1 million pounds

For 2008, the Company is revising its production forecast to 4.6 million pounds U(3)O(8) from 7.4 million pounds U(3)O(8), primarily due to the temporary sulphuric acid shortage which is expected to impact the ramp-up of both South Inkai and Kharasan.

0.25 cut was 90% priced into the market, and when those people who were holding out for 0.50 realized it didn't come, the inital dump happened.

Then cooler heads prevailed and we saw a reversal.

Morning trading was good. Stuck to Crude in the morning, and got hammered on the inventory report. Was short going into that, but managed to stem my losses at 40 ticks.

Went long after that and made a killing. Oil was up something like $4.50 on the day :eek:

A report came out yesterday from Goldman saying this was the top for oil, and that it was advising its clients to get out. A lot of selling came out of that. There was an early morning rally (most likely short covering from yesterday) then a blast into the afternoon.

I'm watching prices now and its STILL moving. 95.70 :eek:

Well, that's most, but not all of what was said...I got it in my inbox...it's kinda vague...says oil will hit $80 and then trade above $100, all "in ther near term" :dunno:

[Dow Jones] Goldman Sachs (GS) recommends crude-oil traders "take profits from a tactical perspective." While crude could well trade above $100 a barrel in the near term, "we believe that the risks are now becoming more balanced and that
the downside risks we have embedded in our end of first quarter 2008 oil price target of $80" a barrel "are already gaining momentum." The bank, which in the past has made waves with its oil price predictions, says "we are not trying to call a top here." Nymex Dec crude -$1.53 at $92/bbl. ([email protected])

liquid1010
11-01-2007, 03:31 PM
That is definitely news I was not expecting at all. I really don't know how to react to news like this. The definite positive is that we won't see any potential diluation of shares due to a PP for RSG in regards to requirements for their Cdn properties.

What does this mean for their Bakoudou Project? Dividing the two entities will allow SearchGold to directly focus on the continued development of that propery. I personally think this is a good sign for RSG (independant of Golden Share)

BTW... does anyone know if Dennis & Ron Tremblay are related?

Schwa
11-01-2007, 03:34 PM
Won't the RSG share price correct itself to reflect the distrubition of Golden Share shares since it's theoretically still all the same company?

To me it sounds like something similar to NI.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

These have been on my watchlist too since you have mentioned them and I have held back from buying in.

Toma: C has been on my radar as well since it has tanked. I agree with this being a possible moneymaker.

30% LOL, try 70%

But I will continue to buy, and yes I'm making money on them.

Its pretty simple math.

the dividend was yielding 18% before when you first recommended it. It was great but considering the stock tanked 50%+ it does nothing.

what kind of numbers is tet.un putting out barrel wise? and is it good in comparison to other trusts.

How is buying the stock at its current price and getting .10c/unit nothing?

I think the concern (as shown by the market), is that a yield of .10c/unit is simply not sustainable.
