Hi Gofer, Welcome back, even if for a short visit! Thank you for your response.
<<you’re quite an archivist>> … my archive is here achamchen.com :0)
Please do not feel compelled to read the entirety of any of my post to you. I often aggregate material to archive, for my own purpose.
<<planning to retire this year (age 51), so maybe I’ll have more time soon>> … your time, as most folks, and as mine, will be drawn to the scent of money :0)
<<The big problem is: I can’t find any great small-caps>> … I recommend you hang out on BBR for a bit, stalk this Pezz Message 19647099 as I do; I tag along on some of his inexplicable trades sometimes, just to make my waking up in the middle of NYSE/Nasdaq morning worth the trouble.
I treat Pezz as a recon patrol Message 19647099 , surging forth only after he does, and piling out before he edges towards the exit.
<<I’ve decided that 2004 is the year of the dice-roll>> … I am here achamchen.com (some where) on 2004, so far.
<<Since I have no idea where we’re going, I’m prepared to gamble>> … at least you know and can enunciate what you are in fact doing :0)
<<2004 Dice-Rolls: Heritage Oil - TSE:HOC.A - … Uganda … Tenke Mining - … Congo>> … these sounds sufficiently exotic that I will definitely look at them.
<<Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)>> … I do not like manufacturers, as a silly self-imposed rule.
<<Canadian Oil Sands (TSX COS.UN)>> … First bought Message 19005086 <<June 5th, 2003>> and added Message 19419437 <<October 21st, 2003>>
<<Check this link for a list of Canadian and some U.S. Energy Trusts …>> … here is my stance achamchen.com on advise on KastelCo and Energyplay.
<<P.S. I didn’t write this recipe for broiling Peking ducks: oilpatchupdates.com >> … the drama of the Ivanhoe twins :0)
I had thought: Message 19168402 <<August 1st, 2003>> Message 19376649 <<October 6th, 2003>> Message 19481534 <<November 8th, 2003>> Message 19482020 <<November 9th, 2003>>
… and I had traded: Message 19322256 <<September 19th, 2003>> Message 19341602 <<September 25th, 2003>> Message 19390870 <<October 10th, 2003>> Message 19397121 <<October 13th, 2003>> sell/buy same day Message 19406915 <<October 16th, 2003 … panic sell>> Message 19446630 <<October 29th, 2003>> Message 19467520 <<November 5th, 2003>> Message 19470415 <<November 5th, 2003>> Message 19474081 <<November 6th, 2003>> Message 19485024 <<November 10th, 2003>> Message 19498857 <<November 13th, 2003>>
Net net, the IVAN campaign was very worthwhile at my manday billing rate, and it was also good exercise, played just as I would an episode of on-line Unreal Tournament unrealtournament.com , look everywhere, all at once, shoot off an unnecessary volley every-so-often, just in case, and never get deep enough that it becomes impossible to get out, in a hurry :0)
On this Message 19648843 <<good portfolio management software>> … Message 19372273 <<October 4th, 2003>>
<<look for some tropical real estate (eg. villa, condo, or building lot). Bequia beckons...>> … I can put you in touch with this group samuivillasandhomes.com , and enrich myself in the process :0)
There are still some lots for sale in our latest effort on the same island Message 16416227 <<September 26th, 2001>> when Thailand was hit so Message 16824489 <<December 22nd, 2001>>, and positive bargains in a development on a hilltop with great views.
As a rule of thumb, if there had been trouble somewhere, anywhere there is an active market, you may find me there, and so your Uganda and Congo sounded worth a look, just like my Pakistan Message 18982842 <<May 29th, 2003>> and Zimbabwe Message 19248385 <<August 27th, 2003>> :0) |
