Hello Pezz, Today’s Report:

I am just appreciating past work done well (May 8th, 2006) Message 22429970

<<top-up of PETROBANK finance.yahoo.com position at CAD 17.09, wallop-izing it, reinforcing earlier trade Message 21583359 (CAD 7.70, no, not a typo), because my hoped for Magic Day is fast approaching>>

The precious Petrobank is now at 50 per share due to their first licensing of its geewhizbangohwhoawe oil from sand extraction know-how, and I still have every share I ever bought of this wallop (multi-tranche) of a position, now to be categorized as five wallops, or fifteen tranches, or 45 dollops.

Chugs, TJ

P.S. The other positions mentioned in the May 8th 2006 post are long gone, thus I did not suffer for today’s good luck because I got rid of he rot before the rot set in.

To live and not to have to learn, at least not the hard way, is my goal in life :0)

Hello Pezz, Tonight's Report:

Following up to following Carranza2's recommendation and having bought one tranche and one dollop of BQI with its cross (provincial) border goodness that is oil bearing sand at 4.76 a few days ago Message 23981936 and having appreciated Message 24019554 earlier LTBH position established per advice of Taikun, I added 2 more tranches of BQI finance.yahoo.com at 6.02 per share averaging-up style.

Chugs, TJ

P.S. I believe I have completely hedged out the risk of war in Persia, the danger of battles in Mesopotamia-Ottoman Kurdistan, the direness of clash of civilizations, and the chances of World War mark 3.

Hello Pezz, Today’s Report:
I was having a busy day, meeting this one, lunching with that one, and at a moment of respite, got the unanticipated mobile call from reflexologist (had trouble taking the call while at the public urinal, with one hand hanging on to a newly acquired ceramic element space heater – the sort that requires electricity, as opposed to a part and portion of my goodself), alerting me to follow in his foot steps (get it? reflexology, foot steps) and so I did, buying, bought more, and then topped up still more:

(1) Went long 5 tranches of China National Resources Development finance.yahoo.com at HKD 1.07-1.12/shr, a new position and I have not a clue on what it does, will try to do, is thinking about what it will try to think about what to do, though the name has a catchy sound to it;

(2) Added a tranche of MP Logistics finance.yahoo.com at HKD 1.29/shr to existing position, just in case I am not long enough. I still have not a clue what it is all about, and it doubtlessly is not important, meaning germane to the bull case; and

(3) I watched while my China Sci-tech finance.yahoo.com stopped trading; no clue why, and I am certain that the why is not important; its name is also comprised of the right words.

I am not being coy, I literally have no idea what these companies are all about, and I do not wish to be confused by data which, if received, must invariably be questioned.

Oh, and no, I was so busy, I just noticed that the broader HK market fell 5% (five percent) today

I hope your market manage to reverse the deluge, or at least stem the tide, or just hold matter and anti-matter apart for a while longer

I also just noticed that my outrageously large allocation Yen allocation went up, as expected, especially as equity shares fall along with gold price, and

Events might get interesting tonight. Let's watch.

Hello Pezz, Today's Report:

Just working on schemas and convolutions, done breakfast meeting, responding to e-mails, reviewing this and inspecting that, all ordinary stuff done by billions around the world, and occasionally checking out the trading of beasts mentioned here Message 24025910

China National Resource finance.yahoo.com is about 13% higher than my average entry price, a good thing, given that it has been a few hours since I bought in and so I was expecting the returns to start tallying up.

China Sci-tech finance.yahoo.com is still not trading, an indifferent thing, since it wil eventually trade and when so, ought to trade up, so as to reward my patience.

MP Logistics finance.yahoo.com did not fall, not too bad, since it has no news to speak of, no prospects I can discern, and no clue about what to do, apparently, ad so I wait until when it discloses news, reveal any prospects, and get a clue.

Hello Pezz, Today's Report:

In keeping with this plan, Message 23970744
<<I bought one quarter of eventual position of ZIJIN Mining Group finance.yahoo.com at HKD 13.78>> I purchased the remaining 3/4 of the position today at HKD 13.02, in anticipation that

(i) gold will continue to rise against all fiat currencies,
(ii) gold will become more popular in China,
(iii) companies that mine gold in China will become more fashionable,
(iv) companies that mine gold in China and traded in HK will become more desired, and
(v) shares of gold digging companies based in China and traded in HK that will list in Shanghai will really popular.

Folks eventually will come to believe that 800/oz gold will be history, and 8,000/oz gold is a sure bet.

In any case, I am somewhat peeved that I do not currently have paper gold to sell, even as I am loaded down with the physically bulkier hoard; however I am comforted that I have Yen, of all paper, and I am thankful I have CAD, and CHF.

Never the less, I was hoping to buy my back my paper gold at 695 when I sold them at 750; then I became doubtful, was praying I can buy them back at 750. Now I must start to get used to the idea thta gold may never go below 800 again. What a world, when the premier empire decides by 1% majority to destroy itself.

Now I am conflicted on holding a pile of HKD, that wastrel USD proxy, for fear that (i) cash is still king, and (ii) HKD cash may be suddenly reset against the USD and making all HKD shorts sorry.

The situation around the world is pretty simple now, the Empire has lost touch with reality, is losing on the ground in both Mesopotamia and Afganistan, and will soon enough be choked via Turkey and have its toys go fuel-less, and without backing from the chocolate-making but very silent Europeans and very apologetic Japanese, even as Motherland Russia dictates the terms of what the Empire can and cannot do, where and when, and as Middle Kingdom China accelerating sales of USD papers and driving up eventually true interest cost.

All rather dire, as oil reaches for 100, AUD approaches parity, CAD goes existence-high, and at some stage, Mr and Mrs Wantanabe must yield, pull back, reduce book, pull plug, and nurse wound, when perhaps Yen can break old records as other currencies have already done.

In the mean nasty time, gold is still cheap, dirt cheap.

Hello Pezz, I just sought partial forgiveness for my earlier sin, and purchased 1/7 of the paper gold back at HKD 7,800 per tael, 11% higher than I had sold them ;0/

I now feel 1/7 better.

Hello Pezz, Tonight’s Report:

(1) Added to Silver Standard finance.yahoo.com @ 44.88

(2) Further reinforced Golden Star finance.yahoo.com @ 3.61

(3) Solidly enhanced Pan American Silver finance.yahoo.com @ 36.87

(4) Newly established Kinross Gold finance.yahoo.com @ 20.08

… all for ever worth-less USD, money of the wastrel Empire, one that is bogged down in the two places that typically, as in always, bog down empires, while its coalition of the stupidly willing and now its stab-me-in-the-back and less-than-enthusiastic British, Japanese, and Australian allies, as the UN mandate for foreign troops in Mesopotamia is about to expire and the treasonous Iraqi officialdom has already said they will not be seeking the renewal of same UN mandate, which then marks all foreigner troops and mercenaries as invaders and conquerors.

In any case, CB Ilaine's friend, Putin, will probably veto any all renewal of mandate as the Iraqi officialdom, having earlier and astutely returned Middle Kingdom China’s oil concessions to China, rejected same treatment for Mother Russia, probably at its Empire chief sponsor’s short-sighted and undiplomatic request.

What a mess.

(5) Established new and substantive geewhizbangohwhoawee position in Baffinland Iron Mines Corporation (BIM) tsx.com at CAD 4.4 and below. The script is that it is a Canadian iron ore miner in far north, $16bn iron ore in ground, $1bn to develop rail infrastructure approx $5 now good for $15. Who knows? It cannot do worse than cash that is already burning.

(6) Issued instructions on conversion of notes and exercising of warrants valued on the books at zero, orphaned long ago (before 2005, records lost) from earlier purchases of Argentine Cresud farm land finance.yahoo.com and Argentine IRS cityscape finance.yahoo.com during the biblical Argentine outcome when its entire leveraged and enough unleveraged middle class got a clean slate, wiped clean by earlier attempt at the Zimbabwe solution.

Anyway, those earlier purchases resulted in gains, but also some very illiquid convertible bond notes with attached warrants. The bonds paid out a few times and stopped paying.

Now, today is the last day to notify the authorities to convert logged-at-zero bond units to most valuable shares, and to exercise logged-at-zero warrants for more valuable shares, just as farm land and emerging markets once again come to the fore, so that I might choose to sell off same when in my hot hands and buy into worth-less Detroit cityscape if only to turn it back into valuable farm land.

Bottom line ... got money from money heaven.

Chaos is a gift, crisis a partner, volatility friend, lonely path right way, survive to fight another day. And chaos is closing in, as indicated by a rising . . . YEN, of all units of measure, as opposed to store of savings or terms of trades.

Hello Pezz, Today's Report, so far,

Purchased 3 tranches of Karoon Gas finance.yahoo.com at AUD 3.65 per share, in attempt to get in on, squeeze on through, jump on, pile in, and camp on what could potentially be the next Woodside Petroleum, as its gas feeds the billion stoves in China, and perhaps jump the queue on the China Sovereign Fund in its attempt in turn to deflect the USD that is piling up and wasting away.
