Care to explain this?

I also have a question for you (if you don't mind) since you're more of a technician. What screens do you run through for your selections. As far as technical screens go, I run through the stockcharts screens (ie: Bullish MACD, etc), any other tech suggestions?

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.

gapping up for the trading resumption. 4.8 billion barrel estimate is out.

I have 3700 shares of that.

Problem is those 3700 shares were bought at $1.95 LOL so it going up to $1.50 just means it needs to go another $0.50 before I care. :rolleyes:

[benyl]

$1.50 again... haha, glad I didn't buy!

[AndrewMZ3]

Looks like ATV and SGX are finally starting to move up. KXL's up 30+%

What was the news for the trading halt? I can't seem to find anything :banghead:

[Rav4Guy]

10/30/07 4:15pm
Uranium One Provides Production Guidance and Announces Management Appointments

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.

[Canmorite]

The $10 level needs to hold on UUU. Good risk reward at these levels though.

[KappaSigma]

Starting small.

SAZ - 2000 shares @$0.215
HKO - 4500 shares @$0.105

[AndrewMZ3]

Any ideas on when RSG NR is supposed to come out? I'm looking at doubling my position, but if it's not going to be for another week, I'll probably hold off until closer to then to do it.

[7thgenvic]

saz again baby>>>>fucking rbc direct takes too much commission...JESUS

[Schwa]

^ I 100% agree. I'm gonna get cibc investorsedge I think and take the $125 hit to transfer out.

SPQ looks like it's finally starting to move. Hopefully it moves high enough for me to finally close my position in it.

[AndrewMZ3]

NOT trading has halted

I hope so, I doubled my position yesterday at $0.73. I'm now weighted averaged at about $.49.

[ShOwOfF]

Damn, there was a huge wall at 89.

[no_joke]

What was that downward spike that the stocks took today at 14:15ET? Must have had something to do with the Fed announcement but what? Computerised systems automatically selling off?

[AndrewMZ3]

any chance anyone can get me an L2 for SPQ?

I want to sell but not sure where I should sell at.

[troyl]

25 basis point cut by the feds. Go Canadian Dollar, Gold, and Oil. :)

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.

Quite the Rollercoaster ride at the end of the day wasn't it

[KappaSigma]

Anyone provide a level 2 of SAZ?

thx

[AndrewMZ3]

Anyone have any thoughts on SGX? I bought in last week at 44 or so and got out at 58. This week they dropped below 40 and spiked after KXL's NR. It's now trading at 51 and I'm kind of tempted to buy in again. What does everyone else think?

[Canmorite]

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:

2007/10/30 10:22 AM DJ MARKET TALK: Goldman Advises Taking Oil Pfts, Not Calling Top

[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])

Was planning to but i put all my cash into UUU haha. Hopefully in the next week or two ill start accumalating...I can sort of see it hovering around the 50 cent mark for a while but hopefully winter brings on some great news.

[KappaSigma]

I think you might see SAZ go on a bit of a run in the next 30 days or so.

[KappaSigma]

GVX starting strong out of the gates!

[AndrewMZ3]

CQV is also moving

[KappaSigma]

Anyone got any insights on any decent stocks to buy at the end of today?

[liquid1010]

Doubled-up on my RSG position.

I've got an order in at 28 to double up. Doubt it will get filled though. There's just no volume, everyone's waiting for a NR.

[KappaSigma]

VMS to begin drilling by Monday. Buy in???

[AndrewMZ3]

check out UCU today

[SilverGS]

Got an order at 28 for RSG as well. Lets see how it goes.

[liquid1010]

Mine was filled at .285, which brings my average to .2845.

SO people currently holding RSG get shares of SEARCHGOLD RESOURCES INC???

[Rat Fink]

.

[AndrewMZ3]

I'm wishing I doubled up at 285 now instead of trying to get some at 28.

[liquid1010]

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]

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.

They haven't set a distribution date yet so you I assume you can still double up tomorrow and get the shares of the new company.

[broken_legs]

I believe this little miner will be very profitable

cgc-t


Finally started to move on some relatively* decent volume.

[KappaSigma]

VMS posting good volume at opening. COuld be people reacting to late announcement yesterday that they will commence drilling THIS coming Monday.

Hopefully RSG stays around the 30 cent mark today as I would like to get in to it either today or Monday.

[AndrewMZ3]

I have an order in for RSG again at 28.5 Hopefully it'll get filled to double me up.

I also picked up a few HKO shares earlier today.

[7thgenvic]

saz killed me last week :( fucker

[broken_legs]

I wish i bought more CGC

[AndrewMZ3]

I took a pretty big hit from HKO today. Hopefully a NR comes out soon.

[Euro838]

Anyone know what's up with BMK today? up to $1.15.

The proceeds will be used to fund exploration programs on the Company's James Bay properties and for working capital purposes.

[Euro838]

That was last week's news. Shouldn't explain for today's jump.

[SilverGS]

Hmmm looks like it is still going strong.. Damn I sold too early.. ah well what can you do.

[AndrewMZ3]

Can anyone get me a L2 for HKO please?

Thanks!

[Mckenzie]

Might be a nice arbitrage opportunity on NCR due to buyout offer by HAT.

Some other juniors turning too- URA +20%, TEL running strong.

I'm also looking at BWR after a big selloff.

[Schwa]

I just loaded up on some BWR warrants actually.

[Mckenzie]

I'm still looking into BWR- Alexander Rauss (SP) on BNN last night said he wouldnt touch them going forward...take it for what its worth. :dunno:

[Schwa]

I probably won't hold it too long, but it looks good for a swing at this price level.

[Canmorite]

BWR looks great. Needs to hold that 2.20-2.25, though.

[Toma]

I can see citigroup being a very good option play now that its tanked so hard, yet remains one of the most profitable companies in the US....

Gonna pick it up on a good uptick....

[Toma]

Oh.... and now since Chinese Alibaba is second only to google, I would think Yahoo with its recent slump may be a good buy since they have 40% share in it. Is there any question that the Chinese are protecting their market, and Alibaba has astounding expansion potential?

any particular reason your loading up on tet.un? ive been holding this since your first recommendation and its lost like 50% of its value over this time and the distrubutions have been cut in half too.

Both companies are trading around $7.60 to $7.20

Both companies are paying .10/unit/mth

Calculate the interest and you tell me if its worth it ;)

[Schwa]

^ it doenst matter if their stock price has tanked 30%. At this price levels sure they have a nice yield, but to me their dividends are unstable and can be cut anytime.

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.

Be very careful of that stock. I read an article form an analyst today saying it was over bought from speculators and could tank.

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.

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