Hung Fat Bra changed its name to Wun Hung Lo's Hidden Truth. I hear sales are perking up. SARS in Cantonese means "puke and die". In Mandarin the syllables also have a meaning but quite different, "stay away from everybody 1/4 mile". If you want to make money in the penny mining market, read the life story of Bernard Baruch for an approach to fundamentals. The read the life's works of Jake Bernstein for an approach to technical analysis. Read all the books on the market and mining you can lay your hands on. Subscribe to the CIM jounral, the Northern Miner, the E and MJ journal, Randoll's, Resource World, Ted Carter, John Kaiser, Bob Bishop, and Canada Stock-watch. Keep your ear to ground on all tips, research the people involved and take a few night courses in economic geology. Keep a geological dictionary and an engineering manual on mining and geology by your nightstand for a little light reading. Do a due diligence on inside trading and previous company connections of all the principles of any company you invest in. Buy 100K worth of wire tapping equipment and install it in the offices and homes of leading 10 VSE brokers. Get a copy of Trade Station and run charts on volume and technicals of the TSX every day looking back 52 weeks. Keep a constant chart of supply and demand for metals and plot it against the CPPI, inflation/interest and the M1. Make wall charts with overbought and support levels of all metals, and your favourite stocks. Update weekly. Finally, marry a women who has inherited 10 million dollars, and put her money in bonds. Trade the pennies? Who is your psychiatrist? I will bet he is rich!! EC<:-}

If you don't know market depth, just repeat this mantra: <font color=red>The real-time market is very strange, deep* and wide,* break on through to the other side. Bids are dreams, offers are lies, break on through to the other side</font>. A company called All-Quotes in New York is NOT, or was not, Internet available, but has the best real time quotes around, and has excellent market depth and history. It may have it for the TSX. Of course, if the members of the exchange voted to curtail availability, they know what they are doing. That is where the money is. Keep the dummies bidding and scalp them for those tiered 100 share lots on market orders. Unless you pants are on fire, do not bid or sell at market. Best Internet quote service I found was Interquote text services. One problem with them was, if their service hung at night, there was no fixing it. They were not 24-7, just daytime reliable. Their portfolios had the best tools for manipulation on the net, and their bulk real time quotes could be downloaded jiffy-quick into a spreadsheet for analysis. I don't know if they work with trade station. The Canadian OTC service was non existent. I don't know how they get along with the TSX. EC<:-}

The core philosophy of the bay street boyz centres around the hiding of information, it would seem ... first thing when they took over, they hid the cdnx market by order page, ripped it right off the site within days, or hours maybe .... that was the peak of thorough quality info we'll ever see, the cdnx They'll continue on this trend, and kill the place, just like sleaze killed the old vse .... who wants to trade in the dark, not me .... that depth by order page was so totally useful in placing stink bids/offers, i would most evenings spend twenty minutes minimum pulling up depth for numerous illiquid plays .... what can i do now, except just make a wild guess at the market and leave in fill or kill gtc orders maybe, but they'll be more conservative, my personal spread between buy/sell will widen considerably, so such liquidity as i've been able to provide will be reduced Just glancing at one play i follow, it's had one (1) single trade this month of april .... i wasn't on either side of that trade, but i might have stimulated another before month-end 'Manley ... always looks to me like he’s just been shaken awake and accused of something.' Lol .... that'll stick, you know, every time i see Graham on telly now i imagine him as you proposed, in a pink frock with a bow in his hair ..... both of them would easily make the appearance requirements for joining Monty Python ... still it's been a while since i heard Graham say something with which i do not agree [that was on the stationing of foreign troops on our soil, rather a biggie and memorable] ..... as for Manley he is worm food, he insulted my Queen, end of story Lenny, come over here - #Subject-37211 ... profound disagreements yet language stays reasonably parliamentary, and nobody gets shot - how canehjun, eh Interesting these bits on the number 8 and asian luck, etc .... translations and marques on goods - one of the most expensive screwups was an attempt to market the Chevrolet Nova south of the Río Bravo - 'no va' means 'it doesn't go' -g- ..... and in a lot of senses, there are probably more idioms using ir [the infinitive, 'to go'] than any other verb, like 'it leaves me cold', 'it doesn't work', 'it doesn't add up', 'it signifies nothing' ..... you could not if you tried think up a worse brand name, and for that reason the few that were sold are now prized like Edsels here -g- [edit] - my wife wanted a car called Tiburon, was very firm on buying it until i convinced her it was a PoS and the guy wanted too much anyway ... and she liked it most for the name, so you'll know what a hell my life is when i explain that tiburón means 'shark' -ggg-
