Yeah, it's been like that for a while. TSX will fall 1% but it'll fall 4%+. Even on rally days often it would fall. I just didn't suspect it would go past 7.5$. One of two things could happen tomorrow: either it keeps dropping like a ball because it's broken resistance or because I sold my shares, it bounces back 20%, lol. It wouldn't surprise me if it opened @ around 7.4$ and went up a bit tomorrow because of today's beating. If you're in it for the long haul it's still a good stock but the 7.5$ was my pullout. Should have taken profits when I had the chance... Live and (apparently don't) learn.

Back in the green on TGL. I have a little less hair on my head from that swing though. Did you get back in?

[Meback]

themack89, are you slowly buying into hod.to?

[Hi-Psi]

Anyone been looking at AAA? I've been waiting to buy into it since last year and it's dropped into the low 0.80's recently and it's almost too tempting to pass up...

Some other friends of mine were happy paying $1.50 but has anyone else here bought any of their shares?

[997TT]

TGL has done well past few days.

I watch AAA but haven't bought in. I try and trade npk.

So almost 1.5 yrs later, SEL.V was renamed to WCP.TO

and i called it at 4.40 now sitting at 8.40

probably not considered a ST investment, but lets be honest, there have been very few juniors which have made an almost ~90% return in the past year...

reasons to hold:

-solid management group, sold ketch, kereco, cadence energy
- valued at ~ 4.5 x EV/DACF vs peer average of 4.8x
- good D/CF ratio, has financial flexibility to do what it needs to do
- solid netbacks
- from when i said to buy, it was 850/boe a day, it exited 2011 @ 8300boe/d, 2012 expected exit rate is 12000boe/d

Nice call. Question is, max_boost, did you hold it?

I got out of TGL today.

Anyone have in money in V (visa)? Not really a ST specifically, just curious. Ive looked at it a few times and its looked good to me but Ive never actually bought into it. Setting 52 wk highs here the last few days.

No, I got out of both COS and TGL. Took a loss on TGL (which would have been a sizable gain) and took a slight gain on COS, which could have been much higher. I'm kicking myself now obviously... Good on you for holding through!

Whitecap, yeah awesome company. Ive owned these guys since the $5.70 mark sometime last year. Their acquisition of Compass recently was an amazing deal for Whitecap as well. They paid very little for a great asset and took on very little debt. This one's got a long way to go.

Year end rise in PBN, only wish I loaded up down in the $6 range to double my money (closing above $13 today)

Where's my damn Delorean?

[Manhattan]

Any opinions on Nexen?

Yeah but nothing good.

PMT --> hitting a 1 year low....seems like a good buy looking through its financials. Anyonelse see a nice little gain like I do coming from this?

[Ryan Shawcross]

No, there's a reason they're at a 52 week low right now. Total garbage company, stay away.

CVR

Big spike today based on speculation, "Canadian Oil Recovery and Remediation Enterprises Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CVR)(OTCQX:CRVYF) ("CORRE" or the "Company") announces the grant of an aggregate of 3,510,842 options to acquire CORRE common shares at a price of $0.36 per common share to certain officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company." They are waiting on upcoming contracts to be announced which will give them a good portion of the market.

There is a lot of upside to the company as well at this price though. The oil+liquids plan is promising and their lands + PUDS seem to be enough to gamble a bit?

Any other thoughts on this? I might be shooting myself in the foot but I have a feeling they are a good hold at the current price...I got in this week.

Well guys, it's 2012 now which means we have an extra $5000 contribution room to play with in our TFSA's!

What's everyone looking at? I'm trying to decide whether to continue with high risk stocks or whether to put a couple safer bets in there this go around.

As of right now only 1 out of 4 of my lottery tickets has hit a winner...

Well I think my first major purchase of the year will be TBE. I've been waiting for a long time to purchase this stock as I kept waiting for a pull-back after it started it's run last year, unfortunately that pull-back didn't come and it skyrocketed.

I wanted to buy this stock again when it dipped into the $1.50 range but didn't have the funds and wanted to put it in my TFSA but didn't have the room.

Now that 2012 is here, I have the room and the money and it currently sits at $2.13 which is still pretty cheap IMO.

Plus they just announced in Nov that they'll be merging with Emerge Oil & Gas and will offer an attractive dividend.

I'm skipping my TFSA this year, already bought $5k in silver at the lows of thel ast couple days of '11
