'... the very word canvas comes from the arabic word for hemp' .... mmm, sounds like cannabis which wikipedia says has greek origin, but they could have gotten it from arabic, which could have derived it from others, it goes that far back
dope.naz - with the weed stocks flying, it's a wonder none has scooped this ticker ... they are doing fine without me, so it'll stay that way [checked out the business model forty-odd years ago when it was less legal and more fun, moved on] ... meanwhile back at the Harper ranch, it's now illegal to grow your own, even for those who were legal, well isn't that just special, coming from a bunch who profess free enterprise classic liberal philosophy, it's another dirty black mark against the bstds i helped get in, not that we had much of a choice or anything, but still it's bad, not very christian of them either, says right in Genesis 'Behold i have given you every herb bearing seed' ... should be like making your own beer or wine ... not that i smoke the stuff, beyond a proffered toke every few years, it's plain to see the huge wrongness in the whole govt take on it though - and that's what makes for all those absurd market caps, of course
Quite the list there, Boolish, three i don't know at all ... used to follow Counsel within a few years either side of 1990, knew a brilliant financial services analyst who was alternately hot and cold on it, i probably held a few although don't recall exactly, but wasn't it trading far higher? ... haven't checked, bigcharts should have it from back then
Diamonds, well my timing always stunk on them ... the day Winspear was finally taken out, far cheaper than we'd ever expected, i had just sold a third or so and was waiting on a retrace that was sure to come, lol ... there's a personal indifference to the gem as well, they just don't thrill me, seem cold ... some nice peridot set in silver, now that's beautiful, far cheaper, uncontrolled by cartels
st.to - fertiliser appeals more to the real-assets mindset, and phosphate has at least as good outlook as potash ... been following two in P, one is mbc.to, hold a little and may add, but the big frustration has been in ogi's contest pick fcv.v, got smallish positions from the very lows of summer and kept expecting to add at or near where they did the 12-cent financing, but no cigar, no pullbacks [this was the 'xxx.v' of another post upthread]
npk.to - this my big fert play for the season though, management is high-priced and somewhat unknown as to competence and initiative [to me anyway], so there are open questions, but i am convinced the thermopotash can be made to work well, cheaper and easier and far better than soluble K-forms, and that's a massive resource surrounded by huge nearby demand ... financing decision coming up end of this month, project is too strong and sensible for Inova to pass up, imho, and if they were to have concerns in re mgmt, well then we may see changes ... quite likely changes in ownership as well - there will be no great interest among local powers that be in enriching a bunch of foreign shareholders, so i wouldn't be surprised if there were a cheapo takeout deal already pretty much cooked up, just not as cheap as it is this week
There are a couple on your list that i'll look into ... been after a couple of diddly's picks, hold some of each but would have liked to add with fresh tfsa cash, both moved since new year's though, dang ... really took a hit last year from too much faith in near-term bounces in PMs, hurts the account levels and the confidence both ... ah well that's the thing about winter though, it's a fresh start |
