Gofer Two stocks I really like for 1999 MCF on Toronto and IWM on Vancouver. Both have the same upside as DFX . Go DFX

Gofer, here's another one to add to the list: hcg.b ... a pretty boring growth story (on the TSE) -- boring is how I like it; little competition, easy business to understand (they make money on the spread) they only do first home mortgages, they've been reporting record earnings with significant growth and yet they've only got a p/e of 7.74 shares o/s have been pretty stable and the brokerage firms (incl. Sprott) have some pretty high expectations for it. Clement

A stock that I think has similar potential to DFX is PMK - MSE, Promatek Industries. Company is starting to grow very quickly and is still cheap by most standards. Only negative is a legal situation that is scaring away some investors. A little due diligence in regards to the lawsuit and investors would be more comfortable. Cheers, Paul

Gofer, I only managed to flip some of my DFX shares once between $14.50 and $13.00 - not my usual style of trading but fun if you can do it successfully and leave some dollars in your jeans at the end of the day. I suspect we will see a bit of a run in January, but the stock market in general seems to be much more volatile then normal so I expect that there will be short-term trading opportunities in this and many other stocks for a while yet. As you already know, my top pick for 1999 is OML. I suspect we will have a hard time finding anything that delivers 300% return like DFX or 200%+ like SWE, but I predict we will see over 100% from OML (there , I have put it down for all to see so they can call me on it 12 months from now). The only other stocks I have invested in over the past six months are PMK and QMS. I still hold PMK (one of Paul Andreola's favorites), and have sold QMS for a healthy profit, but may buy back if it settles back closer to $2. Well, I have rambled on enough. Here's to wishing all DFXer's a Merry Christmas, and continued health and prosperity in the new year.
