magician... curious as to ur ELN thoughts... I am holding some $7.50 Jan07 calls, averaged in at $3... I want to increase my exposure though... wondering if you have any thoughts in regards to what options may be best at this point given where you think the stock may be going...
want to bounce something off you magician... wondering what your confidence levels are like in regards to scooping up some october $10 calls here @ .30-.40... i already own some october $7.50 and january07 $7.50 calls from awhile ago... a relatively conservative amount... and am willing to take on the additional risk... i feel good about it, i just want to bounce it off you for some comments, if you are up for it...
i can not trade on any platform unless the broker is registered in canada with whats called the investment dealers association... part of the deal with td is that ameritrade vacates canada... sooooo i am outta luck there which is to bad... etrade has canadian operations but they are not anything like your etrade... a colleague has just signed up with interactive brokers so i will c how his experience goes...
broker question... ameritrade canada is being taken over by td waterhouse canada as part of the larger deal... i refuse to trade with td waterhouse... so i am searching again for a broker who is registered in canada providing access to US markets w/o gauging you... interactive brokers seems ok... anyone have any thoughts on them or any other suggestions...

i'm a bagholder of bcon... anyone care to guess a target here on this pump?
one important point that you left out hardboil, those who held kmart common shares through the bankruptcy had their holdings declard null and void, of no value... they did not participate in the kmart holding distribution that was effected via the plan of reorg...
yep, 3rd quarter result coming in, lets hope company delivers as stated in a previous pr:
As outlined in the MD&A in our 2003 report, we expect the second half of fiscal 2004 to be stronger than the first half of fiscal 2004, reflecting the seasonal patterns in our business. This, coupled with strategic investments in new ventures (notably, ODIN, Studio Watt and Gilchrist North America) and increased investment in our sales and marketing group impacted the profitability of our first quarter results, but are all expected to add to our profitability during the balance of the year.

not that anyone wants to admit 2 it seems... i have a sock drawer full of bcon & nxxi from the .70s... seems every year or so i need to learn the same lesson over again...
magician suggested stops on half positions of LOOk @ 1.87 within friday mornings alert fwiw...
there is a difference between asking questions and one's historical tendency to attempt to dump their responsibility on others in regards to their trades not going their way... u should know your comfort level by now dwang and use stops accordingly... a waste of energy playing it any other way... all imo...
magician, question, when u refer to orcl 12 calls, u referring to july or august???
the truth is:
a) u are bitter
b) u need to take responsibility for your trades
once you resolve the above stop in again and be nice!!
tis such a frustrating stock to watch... will remain patient
actually, approval was given on june 1, 2004... appeared on bloombyrg on june 18.
re: LOOK, have not seen this before... company received approval from SEC on friday for an 'order granting confidential treatment'... as it seems some information qualifies 'as confidential commercial or financial information'.... and aubsequently the SEC has determined that the company does not have to publicly disclose it.... not trying to pump, just find it curious... check company filings, the document is there.
yes, i agree, soros is no better.... he does not hold 'public' office though... which does raise other issues.
its about power and money=power.... soros takes issue with what he perceives to be the rogue nature of current policy... short-sighted, self-absorbed, greedy and predatory...
whaddya think magician? ecgi @ .53

Other Events
Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure.
At the 2004 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of The Goldfield Corporation (the"Company") on May 25, 2004, John H. Sottile, the Company's Chairman of the Boardof Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer, made the followingstatement:
At this point, I would like to turn to the management report and afterwardsprovide you an opportunity to ask questions. I want to give you a snapshot ofthe company's activities during 2003, discuss recent business, and give you anoutline of our strategy to continue maximizing shareholder value in the future.I would encourage all of you to review the more detailed information whichcan be found in our SEC filings, which may be accessed through our website atwww.goldfieldcorp.com.
Let me begin with the 2003 overview. Quite simply, 2003 was a year of strongimprovement for Goldfield - a year when we significantly increased revenues andincome from all of our operations.
On the numbers side, revenues from continuing operations increased more than 47percent to nearly $33 million, while income from continuing operations grew 41percent to half a million dollars, or 2 cents per share.
It is important to note that Goldfield's growth was driven by strong results inboth our electrical construction and real estate businesses.
Electrical Construction-
During last year's shareholders meeting, I indicated there were signs of ageneral turnaround in the electrical construction industry. This did notmaterialize. The industry continues in a slump, with many of our competitorsreporting losses. Despite this industry environment, Southeast Power experiencedgrowth in both revenue and operating income. This success is even moresignificant when you consider that it did not include any work related to thenortheast grid replacement efforts which we had expected to result from thepower outage last August.
Although Southeast Power has had an exceptional first quarter this year, we donot expect the same pace to continue in the second and third quarters. As wereported in our first quarter Form 10-Q, our backlog level declined 28 percentfrom the same date a year ago. We are currently experiencing a lower demand forelectrical construction services from many of our utility customers. We believethat this is also the case for our competitors. This general fall-off inindustry demand may likely have an adverse effect on pricing and margins. As youknow, our electrical construction work at any point involves a limited number ofprojects, and this, coupled with fluctuations in demand and any unanticipateddevelopments on particular projects, necessarily produces uneven results.
The immediate future of our electric construction business may also be affectedby recent operational issues (some safety-related) at two of our majorcustomers, which together accounted for approximately 28 percent of SoutheastPower's revenues over the last three
years. In the case of one customer, these incidents resulted in termination ofan ongoing contract, the unrecovered portion of which represented about 11percent of our electrical construction backlog at March 31, 2004. In the case ofthe other customer, we do not anticipate termination of any existing contracts.With respect to both customers, we may be temporarily limited in our ability tobid on certain of their future projects.
At this point, we cannot gauge the precise impact of these developments, butthey may have a material adverse effect on our near-term electrical constructionresults. Southeast Power has taken steps to strengthen its training and qualitycontrol efforts to prevent reoccurrence of such situations. In view of our longhistory of satisfactory professional relationships with these and our othercustomers, we believe that Southeast Power will continue to perform well in thefuture.
Real Estate-
Our real estate development activities were strong in 2003. During 2003, we:-
o Completed and sold our second luxury waterfront condominium development, Riomar, near Cocoa Beach.
o Began construction of our third luxury waterfront condominium development, Cape Club, in Cape Canaveral. All units there are under contract for sale, and completion is expected in the second quarter of 2004.
o Obtained reservations for sale on approximately 90 percent of the units in Oak Park, the company's townhouse-style project. This 40 unit project is expected to commence construction in the third quarter of this year.
o Completed the preliminary planning for a multi-phase river view residential complex in Melbourne, called Pineapple House. If all phases are completed, this project would be substantially larger than any of our prior developments. Although Pineapple House is still in the permitting phase, we currently estimate that it will be completed in stages over the next several years.
In short, we have continued to build on our solid reputation for planning, completing and selling high quality luxury condominium developments in Brevard County, Florida.
**********
Along with the strong successes in our two core businesses, we continued todevelop new initiatives designed to expand our customer base and grow thecompany in the future. For example, we:-
o Expanded the reach of Goldfield's electrical construction services by establishing a northern division, based in South Carolina. The division provides both telecommunication and electrical construction services beyond the company's traditional markets, and into the mid-Atlantic and northern region of the U.S.
o And we bolstered Goldfield's stock repurchase program, extending it through September 16, 2004 and increasing the number of shares purchasable to 2.5
million, of which the company has already purchased approximately 1.3 million shares.
