Hello Pezz, Today’s Report:
I was rather please this AM when checking the status report of my MS Money. Over night my wagers conquered new territory and extended pincer movement deep into Green territory even as the broader market has started to fall back in a rather disorderly style. It all felt about just right.
It is a sort of "Gold Up, Dollar Down, Energy / Uranium / Platinum Up, Everything Else Down" kind of day. In other words, a GUDDEUPUEED day.
(a) Some eager beaver called away my PBR (PetroBrazil) way before it is time via this option trade I did achamchen.com <<August 18th, 2004 Hi Pezz, Tonight's Second Report: I shorted PBR 2005 January Call strike 30 @ 2.40/shr (covered)>>
As this achamchen.com had happened earlier <<July 19th, 2004 Hello Pezz, Today's Report on What Happened Friday: Bought a dollop of uk.finance.yahoo.com Petro Brasil at USD 30/shr when the market price was at 29.20, because this got exercised against me Message 19739099 <<January 27th, 2004>>. The puts were short half a year ago at USD 1.50/shr. The stock had in the meantime tanked and recovered in a dull year, for some unneeded excitement :0)>>
I recognize a 10%+ profit off the two consecutive option plays without having to wait the agonizing duration until January, and so all is good.
(b) I purchased a tranche of Areva finance.yahoo.com at Euro 270/share. It is French, and therefore not Russian, American or Japanese, and so its nuclear fuel and power station technology is not responsible for Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, or Mihama plant mishaps. It is also a pureplay. The best part is that the beast increased in value immediate after I did my trade and now stands at 4.37% taller, as in higher. It may get a goodly slice of China's new nuke power station orders. Siemens and Westinghouse are grovelling for their slices as well, and if Bush behaves, Westinghouse may get some (it is a subsidiary of BNFL)
(c) I purchased one more stunningly beautiful ancient Greek gold coin (3rd one down, Macedonian Kingdom, Philip II, 359-336 B.C.) achamchen.com because it is not Russian, American or Japanese money, and has managed to increase its value relative to all what we normally take as money. The 2300+ year old cash may end up on Erita's necklace some day.
Chugs, Jay
P.S. Did I forget to whisper the magic words recently? They are: Oil, Gas, Uranium, Gold, and Platinum.
P.P.S. I remind myself once more, in a bull market ...
"knowledge is a hindrance, awareness is a waste of time, diligence is not necessary, facts will only confuse :0)"
P.P.P.S. Tonight is mid-Autumn Moon festival night and the nearby neighborhood fishing village is full of folks drinks in open air bars, watching the moon, and generally having a good time. Tomorrow (Wednesday) is a public holiday. Thursday is only good for at home work, because Friday is another public holiday, and then ... Saturday and Sunday :0) |
