LOL...you guys are funny.

I'm happy some of you were able to make some money off my tips.

Here is one I just got word of this morning.

TEI.V Tango Energy

Apparently they are in the middle of a drililng program and if it turns out to be a success, it could push them over the $2 mark.

Please do your own due diligence on this one.

[Rav4Guy]

^ where do you get your information from 89coupe? Just a curious thought.

[benyl]

Nice, I just got out of SPX.

Bought on Tuesday. Sold on Friday. Doubled my cash monay.

Thanks for the tip!

I don't think there are alot of companies that could be bought out that currently have projects in the works. I'm guessing the top 3 candidates are UTS, SYN, or CLL.


dont forget about PBG...

Fuck around, Nice play. Only thing I got on the go is SGP, not a bad week. I am hoping for a quick double when the results come out.

[Stratus_Power]

Someone told me ROX might be good buy, should hit close to 50 cents if the Judge rule in fav of ROX ( which seems to be pretty likely)

what is the judge ruling on? I don't see any news in regarding this on my marketwatch.

[djayz]

Up goes SPX im hanging on for a little longer

BLE still coming through for me...i sold but i bought in again so im finally making my profit again on it

i couldve tripled my money if i wouldve hung on from the beginning but ohh well

Only other thing i suggest is buying into DEN(Denison Mines) Going down for the last few days and i see it as a huge buying opportunity. I think i might load up on some more.

[Shaolin]

What do you guys think about Aeromechanical Services (V.AMA) on the TSX.

Doesnt look to bad...if your trying to make a couple hundred quickly and you know when to buy and sell it could work out for you.
But one thing i noticed is the volume its pretty low so buying and selling would be pretty tought especially when you think you might be able to turn a profit.

Pretty good penny stock however just by looking at the chart as it does jump up and down every couple days so if you can buy low and sell high you can make a couple hundred every week.

Dont know anything about the company but it would be a good idea to do a bit of research on the company to see if they have potential of growth

Yeah that's what I'm worried about.. the volume on this stock is next to none, so I'd have to monitor it really tightly if I was going to make something out of it.. We'll see how it goes on Monday.. but I don't think I'll put anything into it..

[djayz]

i wouldnt recommend it...theres other stocks out there that can give you great returns
SPX is performing really well....still a penny stock but i see the potential of it hitting the dollar amounts soon

plus if everyone is trying to do the same thing as you then when the price goes up everyone will be selling so youll end up in an endless loop which gets you no return or maybe even a red balance on the investment.

I missed the boat already on the initial investment in SPX.. but after doing some research on it, it seems to me that it still has a lot of potential.. it's doesn't seem to be hitting the floor price in January and the outlook seems good..

too late to get into this hey? went up huge on fri

[Shaolin]

I think SPX might still have leg if you google up some of their headlines.. I didn't lookup BLE though.

[djayz]

SPX is stil lgoing to have a run...i think 30cents is a bargain still for it and the same goes with blue pearl(BLE)

im gonna buy more BLE and DEN tomorrow and i think ill hold on to my SPX for a while

[lastprodigy]

hey whats .WT???

[Altezza]

It's a warrant.

[lastprodigy]

so can someone please explain to me the difference between say BLE and BLE.WT??

[93hustler]

I was wondering what you stock savvy dudes think about Ford stocks, I'm thinking of buying some.

[Shaolin]

Originally posted by lastprodigy

from what I know.. Warrants are like options.. except they're guaranteed from the company.. where options you have the "option" to exercise and is not issued by the company.

[Shaolin]

Well with the whole slashing jobs/union deal I probably wouldn't buy the stock strictly because of that.. just glancing at the stock chart I don't see it improving anytime soon.. if I was to make a decision right now I would short it, or just wait it out until it drops lower..

[roopi]

http://www.investopedia.com/terms/w/warrant.asp

[djayz]

up goes BLE
nice PR with some good drill results...nice 40% return in one day...im still hanging on tho they are predicting a target of 3.63 then after that somewhere up in the 5 dollar range.

Also ill say it again DEN great buy...even better than before as its down another 36 cents

[Envitro]

CNQ on the TSX is always a safe bet. The price is currently at around $73, but the stock has had 144% growth year over year for the past 3 years. It's almost a sure thing...

[djayz]

yah theres lots of stocks like that as well as mutual funds

most of the ones that are in the higher price range are more stable so if you have 20000 grand sitting around and 3 years to wait by all means invest away i know i definately would.

but for the rest of us who started out with 5000 or even have the 20000 penny stocks is what we thrive on cuz you can make 50% returns in a couple days but the only downside is the risk which comes with any investment.

but yah cnq is nice i hope youve made your money on it

[max_boost]

BLE monster gains!!!:eek: Good pick Djayz.

:thumbsup: Up 81.62% ($7,550) for me :eek: gonna hang on to these 5,000 for a bit...or is a correction due?
on the flip side...lost $1,800 in appl. :banghead:
anyone playing with Stelco? have a 100,000 of it.

[Rav4Guy]

They found good results as of their latest drillings.(jan3) good one.

[ExtremeSi]

Wish i woulda got in on BLE. O well, anyway
Stelco worries me cause there's a lot of talk of the stock delisting. I got out of it 2 weeks ago.

[lastprodigy]

i guess ble is done :(

[Clanche]

*EDIT* god dammit i posted in the wrong thread... ignore me

[YCB]

falcon oil up 38.82% today :thumbsup: :D

Pretty much every oil stock had a great day today.

2% on average on the bigger ones. It was great due to the fact that there is more turmoil in the middle east due to political reasons. Great start to a Monday for oil prices + gold.

[Rav4Guy]

Originally posted by lastprodigy

A warrant allows a shareholder to purchase additional stocks at a specified price. Lets say a BLE.WT gives the shareholder the option of exercising that warrant to purchase an additional BLE stock. an example below.

warrant = you'll need 1 share of BLE + $2.75 to purchase another BLE share.

when the warrants are issued, shareholders have a deadline to exercise that warrant.

[djayz]

roopi some nice picks there..wish i had some extra cash to add to my portfolio

and godfauder excellent return on ble...if i had 5000 i would pull out and be happy with my close to 8gs.

for the rest i believe ble still has a lot more to go...currently i only hold 500 shares therefore im keeping it. If i had anymore i would prolly sell the majority of my shares and keep 500-1000 shares and let them earn there way up to the $5 BLE days

another good one is AUA with is molybdenum as well its a junior company which is said to be better than BLE cuz there is no sulphides in there findings. They just had a nice return yesterday because a fund just bought their shares and it has the potential to be a takeover target...but i think the same for BLE

[djayz]

All the metals and things look like they are getting pwned today...but that can all change during the day as markets just opened.

i guess we will wait and see...

and BLE is going down prolly will close low in the next few days so if your looking to buy give it a day or two

[lastprodigy]

lol tsx is down huge

[benyl]

WERD!

[djayz]

ahhh we all know what that means
buy more! haha

today looks like the worst day of the year so far
tsx is down like crazy
gold is down 14 dollars and still going
and all the precious metals are dropping too :(
wish i had a couple grand to load

[Altezza]

BUY BUY BUY!!

[max_boost]

^^^

Yah but what?!?!?! BLE? CNQ? ECA? :nut: :dunno:

haha My dad is testing out Encana with 300 shares. He's hoping it'll go up a few bucks so he can quickly cash in. :rofl:

[benyl]

haha, I bought more ECA at 52.70 as I thought dropping $2 bucks was a lot. haha it dropped another buck!

I am hoping the Q4 results are good.

[Altezza]

I'm watching the market quite intently...tomorrow morning should be interesting. I backed up the truck to load up, but I'll wait to see what happens tomorrow morning before pulling the trigger.

[djayz]

haha altezza your going to regret not buying in today

i cant believe how badly precious metals did today my whole stock watch list of 46 stocks only has 2 in the green! the rest all went down quite a bit nothing less than 4.45% or so.

Anyone want to loan me like 10000?...ill pay you back within a month? haha

[sputnik]

Someone watches too much Cramer.

[Altezza]

LOL, on my watch list of over 80+ stocks, only 11 are green. I have no regrets. A couple points on a large-cap isn't going to make/break an investment. We ended the day near the daily low, which is lower than the lows of the past 5 days. I want to see what kind of momentum the day starts off with tomorrow. I think we'll get another large dip in march-april area.

[Shaolin]

yeah everything took a shit today.. I broke exactly even.. we'll see how it goes later on this week..

[Altezza]

Oh, that guy - I recognize his face. To be honest, I've never watched one of his shows. Mad Money, hmm....Is he any good?? I just read some of the comments on that page. Is that how he talks on his show?

[Shaolin]

his show is fun to watch.. I like to see how his picks do the next couple of days..

[Altezza]

Just as I had figured, more downward movement...

[benyl]

yup. I figure it might stabilize on friday.

This looks like the correction that happened in october.

[Altezza]

There is pretty decent support in the 11600-ish area. I don't think there is much more downside. If it does break support, we could see 113xx.

[Godfuader]

Damn the markets today! out of 18 stocks only 8 are in the green.
btw. sold blue pearl at 102.4% return :thumbsup:

[benyl]

Looks like things might be getting stable.

could be time to load the truck.

[lastprodigy]

spx is down about 10% to 0.27...is this a buy again?

[max_boost]

I went with a more stable route and dumped some money into RBC Energy and Precious Metals fund. If I can get in on some of the 30+% returns I'll be a happy camper. And if things go sour in these funds, can always switch out :D

[Stratus_Power]

Originally posted by lastprodigy

I picked up a few shares @ 0.225 yesterday, hopefully only way to go is up :d

[djayz]

nice altezza i had a feeling things would do a bit better but alot of things are still down

and godfauder thats a very good return i wouldve taken that in a second

im only up like 200 on ble so im waiting until it hits the $5 which i hope will be soon.

and SPX at .225 was a good deal hang on to that now.

[djayz]

damn it blue pearl is losing steam...Ian Mcdonald doesnt look to good on tv and seeing as how they arent getting a few things until august september this looks like a longer than expected ride...but i guess itll be worth the wait


on the flip side everything else seems to be recovering extremely well with some very nice openings

[djayz]

ohh btw
another good pick which is going to shoot up some more than it already has is SUL

unfortunately i cant buy in no more money left but its great and it looks like its going to hit .30 cents

[Shaolin]

still breaking even.. not much activity in my stocks.. still following SPX though (I mentioned I already missed the boat a couple pages back).. doesn't look like it's going to break the 30 mark anytime soon..

[red99600]

so what are the hot picks now?

[Shaolin]

Originally posted by red99600

I don't think there are really hot picks.. the hot picks are usually ones where people are already on it or got in right before and sold it within a couple of days..

There's an IPO for an oilsands fund if you're a TD Waterhouse Member.. maybe something to consider, but I think I'll stick with individuals like PetroCan and Encana..

[benyl]

ECA will be a good buy when it stops dropping. It has dropped quite a bit the last few days.

[roopi]

Originally posted by benyl

Earnings due on the 15th... If it follows the other major players they should show a record quarter.

UTS aquired 2 new leases in adjacent to their existing lease.

TVL has been a big mover recently due to V-Chip licenses. Not sure where this is heading now though.

[Shaolin]

I'm definitely looking at EnCana.. but I have to wait till I have the cash flow to buy reasonable amounts.. if Petro Canada goes below 50 I'm going in..

[Si_FlyGuy]

anyone jumping on board NIR today?

[Si_FlyGuy]

:banghead:

[Si_FlyGuy]

triple post:banghead:

[Godfuader]

Originally posted by benyl

When do you figure would be a good time to jump on this...think 40 should be a resistance?

[benyl]

I dunno, I am still waiting. It could drop more because the price of Natural Gas is half of what it was in December. Both ECA and CNQ will be good long term buys soon.

ECA releases its 4th quarter earnings on Wednesday, if they are positive, it should jump up again... how much is anyones guess. If they are negative, I can see ECA at $40 mid week next week.

[Altezza]

Wow, the TSX tested support a couple of times today. Kinda made me nervous! I'm quite iffy on ECAs numbers being spectacular in the eyes of investors. Wait & See....

[djayz]

Decline continues ...didnt think it would be this much of a correction for the tsx but some things were hit harder today than 2 days ago when we thought that was the one and only major correction.

Altezza i appologize haha you were right about waiting. Im glad i had no money otherwise i wouldve bought something and would be regretting it right now.

anywho BLE went up so im happy :)

another good buy is IPT since its lower now

[Shaolin]

hey djayz.. question for you.. why would you consider IPT a good buy?

I think we need an investment forum for tips, speculations, etc.. :dunno:

[djayz]

IPT is a good buy..has gone down quite a bit in the last little while

its silver which is a hot commodity which trails gold
umm..not on my comp by i have some research of the company too. Good track record i can tell you that...junior company which is up and coming so its in the dark right now but when the lights turn on volume comes in as well as price drives it up.

Check out their website and do a little research to me it seems like a good company and it was mentioned as the silver company of the week just last week on a silver site i believe silverinvestor.com

[djayz]

silverstrategies.com was the website ^

heres the link http://silverstrategies.com/CompanyProfileNewIE.aspx?ticker=IPT.V

[Shaolin]

Not sure how many are in it for a quick buck, but for those interested in a long term hold (probably 6 months), take a look at BNT.. I will admit that I do have shares in this stock..

I think it'll hit 1 dollar by July/August..

you can get oilsands income trust fund shares at alot of investment firms. $10.00/share. not too bad at all.

[bmeier]

what brokers do you all use?
i am with td water house but the trading fees are ridiculous

what is the cheapest online broker that you all use?? all the good ones like scottrades.com dont yet allow canadian accounts...

[Shaolin]

I use CIBC Investors edge.. 25 a trade.. I heard TDW is 60 bucks? Anyway, I heard tradefreedom or whatever is cheap.. something like 17 bucks or somethin..

[bmeier]

well td is 30 both ways so the total is around 60.......

[Shaolin]

ahh, it's 25 and then whatever % of shares sold for me.. last buy/sell I did it came to 53 bucks.. so i'm not saving much either..

[rinny]

Scotia Mcleod is fairly cheap...28.95 flat for almost any trade. I havent yet hit where the price changes and i've traded 5000 shares, and have had estimates for 15000 shares and the price is still $29

[Shaolin]

for those that are still holding SPX.. it's going to be a wild ride.. the president of the company just filed to offload a shitload of shares.

Interactive Brokers. Typically $2 a trade (but varies based on value).

At what price, and why? I'm not going to buy it.. but definitely interested to know why you'd consider it a buy since you've had some pretty good hits in the past :thumbsup:

[benyl]

why? all the natural gas companies are going down... and I think they will head down further tomorrow.
