Luc -- I bought some about 6 weeks ago. I should have sold when they peaked, but rode them down too far. Recently stopped out. Just watching now.

LT - you know my answer. What's your point? That people losing faith in the roman god? <GG> Doc - Just a thought on XMIT - that the basis for its big drop today is really no difference than it big up move recently. Too little people playing with too little shares. I'm not shorting more, am exposed too much as is.

Traded NEM twice for nice gains...but exited when NEM hit 27...seemed like too much too fast...guess I was right ( for a change) I think the "play" is still there, but it needs an event to get off the ground....

I purchased gold (mines) stock as a trading vehicle. Sold 90% after great returns and kept 10% (all house money). I continue to follow gold very closely as I believe it will provide another great (long) opportunity very soon. The opportunities in the tech sector were too compelling to pass up after AG/Rubin bailed out their buddies, JMO. Michael

Much to the detriment of my account, I still have all of them. ASA average of 18 3/4, NEM at average of 22 5/8, and calls on both. What's your latest prediction LT?

LT, Got out with about 25% (this time), still long call Dec, Jan, and Mar. I was pleased to see how NEM held up today. I will probably go long ABX and NEM Monday. I am still confused about my 200 shares of GLDFY currently priced at 1 13/16 being a <good thing>, but I'm holding for now. Still a believer, but the probable manipulation causes some nagging doubts about gold's ability to sustain a price above $300. js

LUC, bogught ASA at 15 and still holding, bought GSR at 2.18 and thinking of adding more. Nervous about my Nov 17.5 call on ASA and my Jan 22.5 call on ABX . Also have a APR 22.5 on ABX. Whats your take on DAL. I've got some Jan puts that are eroding. By the way as coach of this outfit, you cant take off for these extended periods. You're supposed to be here tending to injuries and giving pep talks.

I bought AU @ 25 5/8 & still holding at $1 loss so far. I'm keeping the faith, Luc. A local broker I know says when interest rates reverse & start up after this financial debacle & after the Democrats spend, spend, spend we're going to have some awful inflation going forward. He's been buying gold for the last 3.5 mos & predicts gold will go to $800/oz.

Hi LT. I sold my NEM 2 weeks back. Watching it close. Holding a nice support around 21. BTW, so . . . you working for a think tank now? <G> "One of the Washington, D.C. think tanks, (I believe it was Johnson Smick Medley, although I am not 100 percent certain) was out saying there was going to be a rate cut a few days before it happened. They tend to get it right as they are pretty plugged in, having an ex-Fed vice-chairman at their firm. I am not personally surprised when I hear these things. It sort of fits hand-in-glove with the Fed rate cut 45 minutes before option expiration. Put in a summation sign, and it portrays a pretty stacked deck. Even for those of you who are bullish, all of the buying you see may not be natural. There are many things going on beneath the surface. It is much more likely that the market is made out of balsa wood and not reinforced concrete. Caveat emptor!" stocksite.com BTW2- Is this what you want to see? decisionpoint.com
