hello pezz, report:
(i) i bought something that i simply did not get around to due to busy schedule, and i did so via my geewhizbangohwhoawee sony vgn-ux38gn palmtop engaged with wifi while watching dvd where miss jane marple investigated a possible crime as nemesis, all the while i was in pj and reclined in bed - productivity is wonderful
yes, energyplay had alerted me some time ago, and i had owned the share and shorted its put option in the early days, but, alas, there it is, ignored, even as i enjoyed the revaluation of my not insubstantial physical platinum hoard accumulated between 1987 and 2001, and watched my beloved impala platinum go dark
given that i had long held platinum above ground and below ground, i figured i must re-engage with palladium, the next best thing en.wikipedia.org
i bought 1/10 of a possibly mind bendingly enormous position of North American Palladium finance.yahoo.com at 8.76
yes, it has already doubled from the low
question: how many people besides those on slider's thread bought at the low
answer: cannot be that many
but also yes, billions of dollars of of auto production facilities, optical glass making plants, etc en.wikipedia.org will go idle and unable to pay back their debt should they fail to secure enough still very inexpensive (relative to degree of direness) platinum
i will add on pull back, should there be any such kind chance, and add a lot should there be sign of fund machinations in this very small market
i suppose i am thus either contributing to the death of the auto industry or adding to the cost of cb ilaine's transport cost - but hey, i am acting also to protect the environment
(ii) stance towards general stock market is as before, not inclined to do much of anything except waiting worldmarket.blogspot.com on current positions, and
(iii) planning the renovation of Message 24334746 so that more folks can enjoy ocean view living in good neighborhoods close to lovely restaurants, so that looking out the window while brushing teeth in the morning during the coming recession / depression is more tolerable than, say, while staring at someone else's kitchen, each and every morning.
chugs, tj
p.s. so, all in all, being altruistic, environmentally responsible, and helping out neighborhoods, while trying to win the unreal tournament last man standing death match |
