Hello Malcolm, Thanks for the reminder.

As a reminder to self, I still have these wind energy beasts on my watch list:

NEG Micon uk.finance.yahoo.com

Vestas Wind uk.finance.yahoo.com

I had never converted my DKK cash to any other flavor of money, they of course had gone up against the USD money as would any half-way decent currency regime, and so it would be easy to deploy them back into the DKK equity space.

NEG and Vestas, in the mean time, had of course collapsed ;0)

Actually, I am debating whether I should airlift the DKK cash to ZAR-territory and have them occupy the dividend-paying platinum mines of Impala and/or Anglo American Platinum, or withdraw the cash back to USD-space and wager them on more accumulation of North American Palladium.

The argument is between deciding for dividend-yielding and high-priced platinum in a high-value currency space vs the more natural, and low-valued (metal price and currency), but no-dividend palladium.

Chugs, Jay

Canada's sands of gold

FORT McMURRAY, Alberta - Amid the prairies and forests of western Canada, a small army of workers is digging into oily, black earth that promises to become one of the world's petroleum mother lodes.

The espresso-colored oil sands of northern Alberta - a legacy of primordial seabeds underlying the region - have created a boomtown out of this former fur-trading post, where temperatures can dip to 40 below zero, winter daylight lasts about six hours and an estimated $9 trillion worth of oil wealth lies under the frozen ground.
