Any of you considering closing half your position before news just incase it's not so good? I've been throwing that idea around but I just don't want to reduce my upside potential.

[Z_Fan]

I've done that before, and got royally fucked. With AOS in fact. It seems no matter what I decide I get screwed over. But this time I'm going to keep all of mine.

Big bucks, no whammies!

[SJW]

I may start playing the CMX game tomorrow. I just pulled out of GEA which is a great stock by the way.

[Rat Fink]

[liquid1010]

Just looking ahead a little bit. What is everyone looking to after they exit from CMX?

A few people here mentioned GRW. I know very little about the company, but the insider selling over the past month concerns me a little.

I'm looking at AAB right now, anyone have any other suggestions?

[troyl]

Well looks like assay results on friday for CMX. Currently like the technicals on BAY anyone holding this one?

Got enough indicators? :nut:

Price, time and volume are the most important. All lagging indicators are, well, lagging price action.

Support at 0.60 for BAY. If you can buy as close to that as possible, and set your stop at around 0.54-55 you'd be fine. Risk reward at 0.60 is great.

Crazy stuff.

It's at .355 already so no worries. I just hope it actually creeps up to $.40 and stays there until halt, news or close. :D

[Rat Fink]

.

[Z_Fan]

It'll be stop losses.

I was going to set one but then I figured this kind of thing would happen and I'd lose my shares. Been there, done that.

The more that sells at .35 the happier I am. Building good support at that range is a good thing.

[Shaolin]

I'm kind of hesitant that a news release will come out on a Friday.. hmm...

[anyone]

I'm part of an investing group and one of the members called yesterday and apparently there will be news on friday, but they aren't going to halt trading.

Here's hoping!

And for whoever suggested SNO (I see a post on this page) I give that one a big :thumbsup: - De Beers would not be processing 400tons for free if they were not expecting good results. Similarly one major investor paid, out of his own pocket, for the first 100tons to be helicoptered (if that's a word) to De Beers.

[rc2002]

If CMX had good news to be released, wouldn't they be in a hurry to release it? Seems to me like they're putting off the release just to push the share price up.

Hope you guys have your stop losses in place because on bad news you might end up with a bunch of not so liquid shares.

Labs were delayed. All companys experienced delays. They JUST got back the results later yesterday. Takes time to analyze and the IR "KCrew" to do up the NR as well.

The people who release the companies' news, don't control trading.

The TSX will halt trading if they deem appropriate.

I have 2 emails from CMX. They say news is FORSURE tomorrow!!!

They have also said its on 2 complete holes too!!

I have asked on what area/etc they expect it to be on as well. Well see what they say!

Ill keep you all posted.

[KappaSigma]

Rat can you post Level 2 please? thx

[AndrewMZ3]

Should we be expecting a NR from SNO soon?

"The delivery of the first 100 tonnes of kimberlite, of a 500 tonne total bulk sample, to DeBeers Canada Exploration Ltd. Dense Media Separation Plant, located in Grande Prairie, AB, will enable DeBeers to begin processing the kimberlite on December 3, 2007. This processing is expected to take ten days. "

High hopes, Wow! Good luck to holders.

[natejj]

Do you guys have stop losses in place? Mines set to sell at .29... I might change it to .33 though...

[Rat Fink]

[bigbadboss101]

IT if doubles I'll get myself a new set of couches. Dont have that man shares, may be $18k.

[Rat Fink]

.

[KappaSigma]

Great post Rat. Im very nervous for tomorrow. Excited nervous!

[bigbadboss101]

If it's less than what people are expecting, we might have a short term drop. But really there is good stuff to come in the next little while it looks like. But, lets be confident that the next NR is quite good, with more to come.

[KappaSigma]

Good morning everyone and good luck!

[wylderhoads]

Are you all excited or what?? Any word or guesses of when the NR will come out today

[KappaSigma]

Well they are 3 horus behind ET. SO I am guessing around 10 to 12

[Rat Fink]

.

[KappaSigma]

Its okay Rat, my heart is pounding too!

[CaptainReboot]

Yeah, I'm thinking around 10 - 12 as well.

[Rat Fink]

.

[KappaSigma]

Holy crap. All we need is good results and those bids to turn to market orders and this flys.

[Rat Fink]

[KappaSigma]

(1 million of that is at .305 and .31)

Holy crap. Lets goooooooooo good news!!!

[CaptainReboot]

I got to leave the office for a few hours shortly here. Have to get co-workers to email me if anything happens, or if the news comes out.

[bigbadboss101]

We need MSN group updates or something.

[KappaSigma]

Rat any of those huge bids at low 30s get pulled to higher 30 ranges yet???

[Rat Fink]

[AndrewMZ3]

Any of you on MSN?

there is also 458K @ .28 (2 orders), and 500K @ .265 (1 order)

Can you imagine if these people end up chasing too?

It might be the happy buzz I have from my tim H's coffee this morning but I think we jsut might see that play out!!

[Z_Fan]

I put in a market order this morning, and usually those fill instantly. Took mine 5 minutes to fill for some reason.

I was just moving money from one crappy stock (ASX) to CMX in hopes it might actually do something other than go down like ASX has done. Lost 9k on that POS.

[KappaSigma]

COmpany opens up at 9 our time right??? SHould be interesting in the next couple of hours!

[liquid1010]

ASX was one I never really trusted.... bought it way up at $1.89 and sold it at $2.12 quite a while ago. It's amazing how that has fallen.

Speaking of holding losers, I'm still stuck with my AEC shares back from the ROL.A investment. I held out thinking that we may see something positive from AEC..... how very wrong I was! That one stings, because I bought ROL.A at a $1.07 (which IMHO was a good deal for what I was getting)... but they accepted that crap offer from AEC.

I'm also in that boat... stuck with 500 shares of AEC... I like to think it will see 2 dollars again..... also stuck with OCL.... Bought at .60, it went up 20% today.... to .12

Edit: Anyone know any good sites that could like send me a text on my phone when a stock releases news?

[wylderhoads]

I'm stuck with ghm.v and aacs... bought ghm at I think .37 I think it sits at .07 cents today... Haven't even looked at aacs lately... out of sight out of mind. A few bad calls back in the day.

Oh and forgot to mention SME.TO... Bought at 1.56 and it's at .60... should have sold when in the 3 dollar range. Zimmerman left and the place goes to shit!!

[Rat Fink]

.

[KappaSigma]

We almsot through to 0.36???

[KappaSigma]

Rat anyway u can try and call? They said today they would hav a better idea WHEN the news today would be released if we asked today. Ive sent an email out already.

[Z_Fan]

I also have AEC. Another POS.

ASX just kept going down. It dropped to .70 and rebounded to nearly 1.00 and I thought OK, I'll hang on. Stupid mistake. But by then I had lost so much I figured I'd just keep holding it. Today I decided fuck ASX and sold it.

[KappaSigma]

Tick tock...

Such suspense

[AndrewMZ3]

Just bought another 10k shares. Hopefully the news comes soon and it's positive.

[Rat Fink]

[KappaSigma]

Crap I got to leave at 12:30 our time! I hope I dont miss all the fun! DAMMIT!

[CaptainReboot]

Got back from my appointment. Looks like I didn't miss much.

[Rat Fink]

[KappaSigma]

I have to leave for lunch as well. Luckily I have a setup the alert whenever someone posts to this thread. So if someone can post the news, I can use my BlackBerry and browse to the site.

[Rat Fink]

.

[CaptainReboot]

I can try to get on stockhouse or something on my BB, but some pages don't show up right. What would be the best site to go to for news? TSX?

If you PM me your numbers I can try to text if I hear anything. I'll probably check the sites every 5 minutes during lunch..haha.

[roopi]

For everyone wondering about getting alerts the best thing to use in google alerts.

You can set it up here:
http://www.google.com/alerts

I use this for news releases all the time and I just use the company name as the search terms and I always get instant notifications.

[wylderhoads]

http://www.carmaxex.com/newsreleases.html

Wouldn't it be on there first or is there another place to go to first

[ramminghard]

i can watch it and text you guys if the news is released. Just finished an exam so I will be watching until 1:00 at least.

[CaptainReboot]

I got the PM's for the numbers. I can text when I find out.

[wylderhoads]

So what would you do for google alerts....

Hmm...according to some guy on SH news will be released at 1pm vancouver time which would be 4pm EST. news after market close over a weekend...this could be weird.

[bigbadboss101]

Reasoning for after close Friday vs early Monday is???

[CaptainReboot]

alright. I have some sites bookmarked on my BB. I will check frequently through lunch and text those that gave me their numbers if news comes out. I won't text if nothing happens.

[djayz]

Nothing about reason was said. But with this much anticipation the execs might release after close and hope that the indexs gain on monday so theres no negative pressure overall.

[KappaSigma]

Guys I jsut called KCrew. The guy said.

"he has a very good feeling" it will be out AFTER market close.

SOmeone should call but askl if forsure today.

1-866-465-3616

[wylderhoads]

oh my well i was so hoping to have the excitement today.. Gotta wait for Monday... damn

[liquid1010]

So if news is not released until the markets close before the weekend; what does this tell us?

I find this concerning, as it could mean that results are somewhat dissapointing and they don't want a mad selloff. Delaying the release allows people to think through the results.

The other option is that the results are mediocre or great, but one would think they would then be more likely to release them early.

Comments?

Or else the markets are down again but not as bad as the last couple of days. Monday looks to be a better day as well. Maybe they dont want to release it on a negative market sediment.

[RX_EVOLV]

i think if the result is anything short of spectacular the share price will fall and fall hard.. afteral it was trading at $0.10 in Oct..

[liquid1010]

I'm contemplating exiting part of my position right now. If results are released during the trading day without a halt, then it's easy to react quickly and exit with minimal losses. If the results are released on the weekend, then we could see a huge drop by Monday morning.

Someone help me feel more positive :dunno: :nut:

I'm not in this one but from what I've been hearing it doesn't look as good as people are hoping for. Alot of spec on this one.

Agree with you though if the news comes after hours and isn't good you know it's going to be bad Monday morning (and you'll have it on your mind all weekend).

Don't hold more than you're willing to lose.

[Z_Fan]

I'm staying in too.

I've made a lot of bad decisions in the past. My gut is telling me to sell it. So I'm going to start doing the opposite of what I think is smart and see if that works!!!

[CaptainReboot]

I'm in as well....

[Rat Fink]

.

[AndrewMZ3]

I'm with you guys.

No nuts, no glory.

Besides, it's only money right?

I guess what it comes down to is, what would you regret more. I personally would hate myself if the news comes out stellar and this thing shoots up. On the other hand, if it's not good and this thing plummets, I think I could accept that fact and move on.
