Yes a good day for gold, cnnfn.com August futures up $2.70, platinum up ten bucks. And speaking of the gold stocks, here is my list of the gold stocks and metals funds I have in a yahoo quote cluster quote.yahoo.com of course the funds wont catch up til after the close. If anybody has a strong opinion about dropping any names, and adding a few others, I'd appreciate it. I haven't spent any time putting a better list of things together, since they all pretty much trade together. Also, since I own MINE, I haven't felt compelled to trade in any of the golds--tho I did have the Fidelity fund for the January bounce.
Of course MINE is not in the list, because I instead have it in my real portfolio--for those that don't know quote.yahoo.com is excellent in that you can set up different portfolios with different display characteristics--(one reason I don't have yahoo puts, but rather a few Excite puts (too chicken to put aol)).
Anyway, I digress--I see bobby beara has got us riding the waves, awesome man--will have to link it over to Ed's thread and see what he says.
Finally, Mark and Claude, your complimentary comments were very nice, thanks. With the apparent death of the 1000/week thread, and the lack of interest in the Kahuna thread, I was starting to get paranoid that folks in our SI community were starting to avoid me. It is interesting to watch people jump from thread to thread, and watch the activity of certain topics pick up or fade--many threads simply work as chat rooms.
I guess just one of the symptoms of interacting through keyboards is that you it is difficult to judge how people react to your thoughts--while in person people have a whole host of very expressive facial and body gestures.
Anyway, was glad to see you guys thot that it was prudent to take some gains--I had never intended to get into this anymore than 100k shares, so the extra shares were kind of a short-term trading thing anyway.
Well, the trading day is wrapping up, and miracle of miracles, it has stopped raining--time to go outside and leave SI for the day. (I wonder when they are going to figure out that they have not billed me for my SI membership!). Bye for now all. |
