I'm wondering how you are feeling having lost more than twice as much? You took a $20,000.00 hit. Got a gun? :rolleyes:

its only a paper loss haha we dont need any threads relating to death linked to the "good investments" thread so keep it down! :rofl:

[liquid1010]

Anyone wanna know how much Questrade sucks right now!!!!

[Rat Fink]

.

[AndrewMZ3]

.27!!!

I'm back to even:clap:

[CaptainReboot]

.27 now. I should probably start doing some work, instead of hitting refresh every 2 seconds...haha.

[djayz]

its recovering slowly...its better that is does it slowly and steadily

[wylderhoads]

yeah things look to be going up ever so slightly right now. Hopefully the mad sell of is over

[Z_Fan]

LOL, yeah it was fun to watch this on the L2 in Real-Time.

I don't quite understand why the price dropped on results that say best hole they've ever drilled. But, either way, it'll be very interesting to see what happens by day end.

[CaptainReboot]

.275 now. I need to to get to .30 to even out, as that was my avg price.

[Rat Fink]

.

[djayz]

good strong base forming at .26 right now...was a huge bid order at .25 about 6 minutes ago so its moving in the right direction. I think we will end in the green today...might even hit .40 cents

[liquid1010]

Questrade can't seem to figure out why my "live quotes" are 15min behind. :rolleyes: :banghead:

My platform is showing the current time as 9:35, and they're checking with the back-office as to why :rolleyes:

You're probably looking at your 'Holdings' section. This is usually the price of the previous close. Try getting a 'quick quote' or using the 'Portfolios' section and you will get a real time quote.

[Z_Fan]

There is no way it's going to hit .40 today IMO. Hey, I really want to be wrong, trust me!

[Rat Fink]

.

[KappaSigma]

JUST got my internet up. Missed the opening and everything. WTF is going on. I so did not expect this at all. Weird.

[natejj]

Looks like we're all keeping our day jobs.... my stop loss triggered at .26, walked away -$500.....I didnt want an xbox 360 anyways :cry:

Not much of an article. Those guys post that article everytime anything happens so you subscribe to their wonderful letter... ;)

It's pretty much an article about selling their site subscription.

[CaptainReboot]

yeah, that's what I figured..

[bigbadboss101]

Last night I put in a sell at .46 and buy and .24. Got another 30,000 at .24. Oh well, should be ok. Once the negative folks get out and closer to result it will be up again I think, with more to come.

[liquid1010]

You know what really chaps me about this.... I've been talking up AAB, but decided to drop into CMX instead. CMX is down, and AAB is up from .43 to .56 within a week.

BTW.... AAB is still a good buy at .56

[KappaSigma]

ENG is now running as well. Could have legs to hit $1.75-$2 today.

Havent looked into it much but apparently their rig is on the wayto drill. Lots of estimates for oil too. Damn, always seems like im too late!

[ramminghard]

what is everyone doing with CMX? Buying, selling, holding?

[Rat Fink]

.

[AndrewMZ3]

Was anyone able to get any details about when the 3rd hole results are to come out? If they expect it soon, I may increase my position at these price levels. I honestly don't think the assays were that bad. They weren't earth shattering, but I don't think they warrant the current selloff.

[Rat Fink]

I sent an email early this morning as well, with no response to date.

[CaptainReboot]

I'm holding. I don't have any more funds to buy more, so I'm just going to ride it out and hope for the best.

With tradefreedom they have a web based application which uses Java. I use their Tradefreedom Edge application, which is a program you install on you computer non java.

It's market sells, that kept pushing the price down to the next level.

Probably retards who haven't actually taken the time to work out a $$/ton of the latest NR to see that it actually is quite feasible.....or it's manipulators taking advantage of the typical weak bid support this one usually opens with to scare some of the nervous nellies.

What are you calculations for $/ton? I am seeing like $24/ton on the high side.

Careful...this one is being pumped around HARD. Was getting pumped all last week too, mostly by "johntaylor"...he has some numbers in his name.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's the same douche who used to be "imtaylor", and "cantkillme". He lost his ass on WWF, and I think changed his username to save face. Big pumper. like I said, not totally sure, but the resemblance is uncanny. I know he has some groupies but I haven't rounded them all up yet.

I've noticed the ENG posts in several different BB's as well. Seemed like the pumping worked, although it is back to around 1.45 from the day high of 1.67.

[AndrewMZ3]

Andrew,

We did not receive complete results for third hole. Not sure when we will receive them but it should be soon.

I have my calcs at home...but it was around there for overall in the hole, with the higher grade sections near the bottom of the hole being around 125/ton if I remember right? The holes increasing values with depth, and ending in mineralization shows me they should be drilling a bit deeper! SA.V did some of their drilling down to 600m. I'd like to see what numbers Carmax would've pulled if they did similar. That lower part was almost 1% copper. I'm curious to see how far that would've extended.

What Calcs did you guys use to come up with these numbers?

[aaronck]

bought CMX at .22....good idea?

[AndrewMZ3]

I think .22 is a real good bargain. I'm thinking of buying some more too

[ramminghard]

Depending on how tomorrow morning goes I might pick some more up

[CaptainReboot]

Wow.....ENG is now in the red for the day. Went up fast and went down just as hard in one day.

[AndrewMZ3]

ENG was a pump & dump...

[Z_Fan]

Rat Fink, did you sell your CMX?

If not, you lost $27,675.00 today.

I didn't sell my CMX.

I lost over $10,000.00 today.

*OMFG*

Who else took big hits on CMX today?

[ramminghard]

-20%

[AndrewMZ3]

Lost ~4k from friday's close or a bit under 1.5k from what I bought for. What's everyone's plan here?

[SilverGS]

Did a sell stop because of paranoia from RSG and got out this morning and got back in at .22.

Didn't lose too much but I don't hold a big position in CMX at the moment

I think we should start a Beyond P&D group lol

I have a simple rule when it comes to Oil & Gas stocks. If their office is based in Vancouver don't buy it. 95% of the time it's a scam. There is money to be made in these but most likely you'll get screwed.

[CaptainReboot]

Lost about $4600 here today.....

[bigbadboss101]

Well if in the next 4-6 weeks good results come out and it bounce up 20%, we will all be happier. Let's hope, and may be the drill outcome will be better for the other holes!

[liquid1010]

Is anyone here very familiar with O&G valuation? I'm just working through some valuations and was wondering what the triggers are that really affect Depletion & Accretion for junior O&G's? I don't work in O&G, but I expected the cost to be fairly static on a Per BOE level for all juniors.... but that doesn't seem to be the case. I'm seeing some at 40%, and others all the way up to 52% as a percentage of Revenue.

[CaptainReboot]

Were there a lot of bashers out on the BB's today regarding CMX?

I have most of the common ones on ignore, so I'm just curious if they were out having a good time, or if they were too busy buying the cheap shares.

[Rat Fink]

.

[djayz]

Ohh wow...I was hoping for somewhat of a recovery from CMX and the overall market but both got slaughtered...CMX does nothing to my portfolio compared to some of my other holdings :cry:

wheres the damn santa claus rally?!

[CaptainReboot]

GCN's making a run with their new release end of day yesturday.

[Rat Fink]

.

[CaptainReboot]

Originally posted by Rat Fink


funny you mentioned GCN.

I sold 50K shares of CMX this morning (Still holding 155K). I'm going to use the free'd up cash to try and build my holdings.

I bought GCN this morning at open, and got out for a small loss when it fell apart. I left the office for 15 minutes and came back to see it's run since then! What can you do? haha.

be careful if you're looking to buy in now. That interval is only over 1m. It's being pumped pretty hard too. Definately a flavor of the day.

Well, when I saw it, it was up about 60%, then it came back down again to be about 0.07+. I though the run was over. I checked back a few minutes later and the thing takes off and is up .19 cents now.

I dumped some CMX as well, still have about 10K shares left. I'll need to flip some stocks here and there. I just used my profit from SRU to buy CMX, so that's all I lost. Still sucks though.

[bigbadboss101]

Hmm my average for cmx is about .28 so I don't know if I want to sell. Thought about buying more at this price but don't know if I want to pull more $ out of savings into my brokeage account. There are some bargains out there though.

[Rat Fink]

.

[Rat Fink]

[roopi]

Picked up some CMX today at .175.

[KappaSigma]

Wow, "MARL" is down nearly 10% today :)

[KappaSigma]

Wow markets all started very strong in the green NOW they are all in the red.

[bigbadboss101]

Such thing as Christmas sell off? Hmm should I average down on CMX? Should I keep SNO knowing results won't be for a while? Have enough GRW so I probably wait/hope for it to NR and go up.

AOS way down so will hold for a while.

[Z_Fan]

Originally posted by Rat Fink
Sweet...bought back into CMX with that chunk I sold earlier.

holding 215,000 now. more than I ever have. haha.

Yeah, it's just too bad it's worth $37k today ... and you lost nearly $35k.

Better keep that day job for a while longer, eh? Especially when you lose an annual income (after tax) in two days time.

I'm down $50k and I figure there is no way I will ever recover it.

[SilverGS]

Stockhouse mentioned big wall at .16 broken and on its way to .12 :( not so good christmas for a lot of us I guess.

[bigbadboss101]

You never know. A couple good results and PR will get it back up.
We have to be optimistic. The market in general is tough now. Even when news is good price can still go down. But we have to be optimistic. If you go in a game thinking you will lose, chances are you will. Not saying if we think about good things, it will happen but it helps.

I have a few stocks that are down big. I have faith that company will have good results, statements etc. Just a matter of the need of holding a while longer. True some might go kaput like Tahera but I want to believe.

[Rat Fink]

.

[Z_Fan]

Yup, it is going up, which is good cuz I happen to be in the same boat that you're in with a sizeable chunk of cash in CMX. I'm not taking a loss on it. So, either than company goes broke and I lose everything, or I am waiting it out until I can reclaim my initial investment.

Out at .18. Shitty flip. :thumbsdow

[broken_legs]

Speaking of copper plays


Anyone into TIO-T ?

Tiomin has wayyyyy more work done than CMX and they are at a 52 week low

And have big Chinese metal companies investing in them

Market cap of 45 million, 30 million in the bank and 0.08/share

and bla bla bla

http://www.tiomin.com/s/Pukaqaqa.asp

[Z_Fan]

^ I have lost $11,000.00 on TIO since 89Coupe recommended it.

I had 100,000 shares of it. Today I hold 50,000 shares of it and wish I would have sold it a long time ago. Another POS stock.

lol i had not even close to that much much in TIO
but i finally sold TIO late last week to pick up CMX:rofl: :rofl:

[broken_legs]

Well I think TIO is trading at about par to its NAV right now...


If there ever was a time to buy LOL

[bigbadboss101]

Hope for a pre New Years rally for our stocks, mainly CMX, PTU, GRW, SNO, AOS etc.

I am down 35%. We single digit last week.

Sorry - I'm in a bad mood today ;)

I used to believe that.... Until he recommended SBS at 3.25, and ROL.A at 1.25..... SBS is at 2.05, and ROL.A has lost over 50% of its value.

Do your research fellas.....

My wife could have bought a "limited edition" LV purse for the amount I lost.

Hmm...perhaps it's a good thing.

Hence my sarcasm.

[roopi]

Not sure if you guys are bashing (hard to tell so don't get pissed if you're not) 89coupe for his recommedations but everyone here should know that they were only recommendations. Always do your own research before you buy anything.

89coupe brought alot of good 'tips' to this thread. Made some money on some and lost some on others. Definately appreciated. To bad he doesn't post in here anymore. It was always worth researching his tips.

[Z_Fan]

Yeah, if it weren't for a couple of his tips, I'd be down $65k instead of $50k. Hahahahhaha...

I wasn't bashing, I've made $$ off his tips before. I didn't catch the sarcasm in the poster before me, and was just making sure he knew that not everyone of 89coupes tips was solid gold.

[Rat Fink]

.

[bigbadboss101]

That's why I don't give tips anymore. I and others thought highly of certain stocks and sometimes I give my coworker tips. He made $ on some, and lost on PTU. Now I don't give tips knowing SP can act strangely, good news or not.

[Rat Fink]

.

[CaptainReboot]

STA was halted again. Remember what happened the last time it halted? Up 400% the next day. Be interesting to see how it does tomorrow.

I flipped CMX today as well. I could probably by back all my shares if I can get in at .14 for the amount of money I have left from selling it off earlier. Then I can try to flip it a few times and hopefully start making some of my losses back.

[liquid1010]

CMX with a large move today....

[troyl]

Overall a great day today. All markets closed green venture closed up 23 points, TSX up 17 points. My uraniums went up nicely TEL +18%, BAY +11%, PTU +6%.

[CaptainReboot]

CMX did nicely today, considering how shitty it has been the last week. Still have a position in it, so I'll be keeping my eye on it in 2008.

[Rat Fink]

.

[CaptainReboot]

Nice start so far for CMX if anybody is still watching it. 19 cents so far.

[AndrewMZ3]

Hopefully I don't jinx it but I'm thinking it'll close above .20 today. Anyone have an L2?

[Rat Fink]
