The word of 'analysts' surely will pack less weight in the coming years ... ?? ... so many people came new to the market in the last years, they've seen the performance of Blodget et al, and now they understand thoroughly their motivations and the relative value of their output as compared to say toilet tissue ... the survivors surely have learned that they must do their own thinking, that there are no gurus in reality, and the non-survivors, well they won't be a factor in markets any more. As for picking bottoms, there's always the old standby, the bottoms-up approach - Message 15592946 Hope all turns out well for your family member - that sort of thing puts it all in perspective eh, everything we do is built on the basis of being healthy, without that none of it means much .... and welcome back. den.to - there's a real canehjun rags to riches to rags to the long march back to riches story ... traded at fifty cents once, then fifty bucks, then seven cents .... Eric Charters tells a story of his father being shown a piece of the discovery core when the thing was under a loonie, and he passed it up, didn't think it significant ... this was circa 1950 i think ... might have remembered the story wrong too, it's from memory ... here's EC's thread, he is a bright guy in some ways, you may find him a great read - Subject 10566 Look at this idiot, enamoured of it at thirty cents, lol - Message 644419 ... must have seemed like a good idea at the time ... and the profit and loss sheet did look good, also the immediate prospects for the PoU .... it was with den.to that i first experimented with what i called at the time 'daytrading' but wasn't really, more like wild-guess swing trading over one-hour to two-week periods, using lots of stink bids and stink offers, probably eighty per cent never caught fills ... got lucky a little and thought it was personal brilliance, it was the initial infatuation period with online trading and cheaper commissions, no question Greenline made more than i did, and the net profit certainly wasn't worth the effort, except that i did learn not to do things that way ... i still have in one account a remainder from a partial fill on the last sale from that time, and a few others picked up last year, not many though and am not deeply informed on the thing. PoU [price of uranium] counts hugely there ... here are some links on U ... they don't all work still - Message 3081735 Message 3081923 ... quite a lot of history on U on that thread, don't know why it died ... cco.to has doubled in the last twelve months imn.to - tyke, that thing must have gone no-bid there the other day, spiked down to 1.60 ... wish i'd been watching ... there is a lot to it yes, even without the new road ... i suspect that you arrive at the choice of Inmet as a copper vehicle through a more scientific selection process than ralfph with tek.b.to and i with my aur.to, which for me is purely a habitual thing, just watched it close over the years, never really sat down and did a study of comparisons with peers ... used to compare it with pd.nyse but only as a leading indicator of interest in the sector, and that wasn't all that useful anyway .... it's macroeconomic stuff that drives the PoCu, and i believe Dubya will do what he can to stimulate infrastructure, which will happen to use more copper than in recent years. ralfph - congratulations - Message 15590892 ... and you were worried about it mid-week! - well if Adolph is willing to pay .26 it must be worth that ... but you were several points off on your Nasdaq call [so far], it printed seventeen ninety something didn't it ... there goes your guru status, we're left with only Jasper Friendly Bear now. Back later .... Lenny, you can really turn a phrase ... good thing you didn't get into rap and turn stomachs ... cheers, all
