BTW, I had posted the following to myself earlier, and so I append same to you, for the copy book:Message 22430922 <<Hello Pezz, Today's Report: Still giddy from bagging an as yet unrealized gain Message 22429970 from Blackrock, I decided to book a phantom gain from Newcrest Message 22308644 at AUD 23.41, netting 2.7 pitiful % (the gain looked larger, at around 10%, when viewed on my MS Money, because the program's base currency was set at USD). Of course, had I set the base currency on Zimbabwe Dollars, the phantom gain would have still been phantom, but astronomically larger. Magic of exchange rates. But since I am not converting out of AUD, the gain is in fact 2.7% ;0/ I got rid of Newcrest not because I do not believe we are not yet in Phase II of gold bull (where gold price rises in all currencies), but because of risk exposure for what I did last night and may do tonight. BTW, I have also completed this Message 22408626 secret accumulation program, and the symbol is finance.yahoo.com . It appears that the minute I stop buying is the moment it starts retreating ;0/ Any how, I disabled its symbol so that I do not update its price automatically. I find denying reality is useful to maintain a LTBH stance on certain wagers. Chugs, J>>
