Bien d'accord avec toi Bruce. Regarde les cours acheteurs à la fermeture. EVR ($0,11) baissé à $0,105 DON ($0,12) baissé à $0,11 GZZ ($0,08) monté à $0,105 MAO ($1,40) monté à $1,51 ECR ($0,21) monté à $0,22 WOO ($0,11) baissé à $0,10 Le volume sur ces titres a été anémique. Pourtant, j'avais choisi des "stars" tout à fait bien capitalisées, sans besoin importants au niveau du financement, avec bon management et des projets très intéressants. WOO vient de faire une découverte intéressante à Chibougamau et le titre a baissé. Maudore s'est maintenu en haut de 2 dollars jusqu'à la dernière "folle semaine". Il n'est pas remonté à ce niveau. Donner est en train de développer la prochaine mine à Matagami et il a baissé. Les prochains mois vont être très difficiles. Il n'y a plus d'acheteurs, donc plus de marché. JP

pour clairee ma marge?...tu n'aurais pas pu être sur marge dans ces titres,rien en bas de $2...<g>... CHESAPEAKE ENERGY (NY:CHK) $21.50 +1.30 CONNACHER OIL & GAS (T-CLL) $1.99 +0.09 Most people that are in the markets are quite aware of the benefits and also the absolute disasters that buying stocks on margin can cause. In a good and booming market like we had several months ago, to buy on margin gave you that extra little leverage and a chance to make more on your money than before and then paying a small interest cost. But in the market crash of the last while, we’ve been reminded how badly this can work against you. In a market that falls as much as all of the markets have lately and included every phase from finance to oil and gas to mining to you-name-it, leverage works going up and for the worst, going down. Two items of note here in that you would usually expect leaders of industry to somehow avoid being stuck in this mess, but apparently not. Chesapeake Energy is the biggest natural gas producer in the United States and just a while ago had as many as 140 rigs drilling for this one company alone. Again, that’s 140 rigs drilling for this one company alone. They were a huge player in the natural gas business. Then natural gas prices weakened and that market crash came along and the chart shows you exactly how badly Chesapeake’s stock was clobbered. Over the last few days we’ve heard about a lot of corporate executives getting margin calls and Chesapeake Energy co-founder and chief executive office Aubrey McClendon said he had to unload most of his 5.8% stake in the company due to a margin call….5.8% of the company on a margin call? Ah, yes, one gets the impression that one was a little over-leveraged, don’t you think? Meanwhile, the same thing has happened with Connacher Oil and Gas with chief executive officer Dick Gusella who had to announce that he sold a significant percentage of his common share holdings since October 6th in order to meet margin loan calls. These are not the only ones as the Wall Street Journal has a long list of margin calls to senior executives for Tesoro Corp., XTO Energy, Apartment Investment and on and on. As we all know, it’s been ugly out there.
