Started JNJ position today.
bought back HED a bit early it seems and bought back my MFC. Almost bought more PSS in the 12.60s.. looks like I should have... but I didn't .. Dam forex exchange.. Questrade here I come...
Nope. Ex divi means it is trading without the next payout. Buy today.. no payout until next quarter. You need to be an owner (settled) on or before the 16th.
Oh I see you are talking to yourself :O)
I have no clue in this market.. HED (short TSX capped energy index)
heading back up... geesh..
Mostly CASH
Closed my HED @ the open.. made a couple of tanks of gas..
Looks like my MFC sell yesterday was timely.. off over a buck...
Mostly CASH
sold Manulife for a good scalp @ 37.72. Looking to reenter this one lower ( I think it is pretty solid) iffff <NG> financial stocks drift lower from here I think financials need to retest lows or near.. If they drop and rebound without making a significant new low I will buy fairly aggressively I think..
Sold last of my FSLR into today's pop for an overall loss.... No more wasting time and money hoping a stock comes back.. Sold 2/3 of PSS yesterday :O) Doubled my position near the close today so 2/3 of my position now.. I still like this one for a double from here but will continue to trade it vigorously... It has pretty good swings and is very liquid.
Watching NG and Oil stocks here.. LT charts of COS.UN, SU, ECA, CNQ, are all pretty darn impressive but a pretty decent drop from here wouldn't dent the LT uptrend one bit.. At some point it will be a mega mega profitable trade to back up the truck.. I'm not looking for much... just a portfolio double from here so I don't even need to work for toys ;o)
John those shale wells are high cost yes... Companies that do the newer multi frac drilling will do well then no ? iffffff ..but what is unknown is the actual reserve potential ... that is the bet.. I think the expense is secondary all things considered.. but what about LNG ?? The rest of the world will continue to suck up NG so I do not r4eally worry about LNG LT..How do you put a price on energy independence :O) NO energy positions at all presently... new school or old school..
Looking at the USD and loonie.. looks like Mr. Parr Schmarr was not too far off LOL.. Loonie is good for us in the 90 cent US area so .85-.95 works.. We have our fiscal house in relatively good order.. US dollar bottoming.. The US will not evaporate like Rome and the China/India story LT is the real deal IMHO.... so AG Energy etc.. will rock again..
I think gold is cooked as a run to safety item .. but I can always change my mind.. OTOH rich Chinese and Indians love gold.. so gold itself is NOT cooked.. The right gold stocks will do great.
I also like a lot of tech.. for a look...
This is all the stuff running around my head these days ... FWIW.. :o)
Out HXD. Still holding part FSLR, part PSS, RSI.UN, MFC. All accounts 'cept one 100% cash. Overall 92% cash. Gonna buy a few 6/49s :O)
I was looking for it to at least play according recent history and stay in the BB channel without digging a deeper lower band.. not working so far. out half...
92% Cash
ROTF... Thanks... that just made me chuckle.. iffffffff :O)
Any insight on FSLR here... looks to be headed for a date with the 200DMA ...
Mostly CASH
out all of COW ... it may go higher.. but it's too nerve racking for me..
You mean the propane plant ? No I'm safely near the Pickering Reactor instead LOL
LOL I see they have two lines of all mountain.. I liked the Heads I tried last year... will be shopping in a few weeks, probably Montreal. Still open... Geez I need boots too :O)
Global warming.. I think the scaremongering is way over done but hard to talk to the converted until they find another crusade..
Yeah but I mean we been talking about retirement for a while.. I'm not really sure that that is what me mean.. as in lots of retired people as is noted are not financially independent.. It's another form of that illusive freedom that i think we've really been talking about.. neither of us seems interested in sitting about ;o)
Edit: Global warming seems to have cooled Toronto and given us lots more precipitation... Looking for another banner snow season and new skis this year... :O)

nice article.
Hi earthfarm,
Looking @ Dec live cattle futures they have been falling for a while but we still have contango. http://charts3.barchart.com/chart.asp?sym=LCZ8&data=A&jav=adv&vol=Y&divd=Y&evnt=adv&grid=Y&code=BSTK&org=stk&fix=
My COW position is doing OK but hitting resistance and being turned away.. so I'm watching closely.
Kastel
LOL... Getting the rear springs done Tuesday on the truck.. May be able to avoid the anti sway setup. Anyway we are heading out again next Friday morning for a few days and later in the following week also. We are going to a get together in Kingston so will camp nearby and do some tourist stuff.. 1000 Islands cruise etc..
Gonna take a few more garden pics.. Some Calla lillies starting to open... Lots of Glads, Black Eyed Susans full tilt.. late Astilbe.. full tilt, Hardy Hibiscus going to open soon.. Lots of weeding and pruning to do ... I've been a bit remiss this year and it's gotten quite overgrown.. A ton of perennials to yank and transplant to the chalet , crazy daisies, black eyed susan, astilbe, sundrops, asters sedums.... This year has been great for the plants.. Not too hot and lots of rain.. Is this global warming for southwestern Ontario ? Cooler summers, more rain, and winters with real snow ... YEEHAW!!!!:O)
My cash position still huge.. All trading in one account only to keep it simple..
COW hopefully chewing through overhead... nice profit now.. will sell some if it weakens here.. Always another train..
SOLAR POWERED
Added a few FSLR... lower BB breach by a bit.. close watch..
Gee the HOD would have been sweet.. but missed it... I did double down on MFC @ 36.32 from first buy @ 36.56 so that is working out for now.
Still Short TSX via HXD... Again though HOD would have been a real moolah maker... sigh..
Solar stocks are down today.. trying to get a feel for how they trade...
SOLAR POWERED
Took a small trading position in DSTI today based on the chart. 3.33 Solar stock
SOLAR POWERED
Looks like I missed on HOD for today
Bought another shoe (PSS) 12.51.
off to work..

Yesterday Brain Acker on BNN likes energy and ag. He is a quant guy... ie he uses a formula based on earnings etc.. I have still only seen anger in the patch ... not despair.. Maybe I won't... don't know...
Blackmount guy on this AM also likes energy best...
I just don't know... meanwhile my shoes are down ....
still short TSX... looking for reentry on HOD.
SOLAR POWERED
looking for a little yield, exposure to China in something besides commodities. None of these positions are big and all answer 1-800-get-me-out fast...
Took a starter position in Manulife Financial. MFC. 1.02 divvy.
At $120 oil on the way up people were delirious, now at $120 on the downside of the bell the sky is falling.
and the song remains the same :O)
So opinions... is this an energy buying opportunity ?
BTW if you are not reading SI these days you might want to take a look at these guys posts on Big Dogs thread http://siliconinvestor.advfn.com/profile.aspx?userid=9086775
I won't be 80% cash by fall I'm sure.. just a bit more diversified..
Nice day for COW, reentered PSS @ the close.. just 500 for now.
WPT not necessarily an energy bull play...
1) a green play
2) an energy self sufficiency play for the US.. The need for gasoline can be hugely reduced with NG.
Did hear last COX yet..
So they can do this shale cheaper CBM is lots of little shallow wells ?? Different drilling ? I notice DAY.UN has held up very well.. They do a lot of horizontal multi fracture I believe.
I have not seen despair in the patch investors, only anger.. maybe we don't get despair before heading back up... In any event I wanted to be heavy in cash around Olympic time.. too fuzzy for me.. I was thinking about solar a while back.. COW doing fine today..
EDIT: I'm watching energy though.. if te stocks stop dropping despite the oil price.. I'll start wading back in probably... maybe... possibly.. Oh I'm really confused.. closed my HOD way to early today..
SOLAR POWERED
Solar power my sun ;O) an Obama play... Maybe a winner going forward in the solar space.. I have a spidey sense tingle about solar that tells me.. it will get here sooner than we expect it...
Cyclical bear in secular bear for commodities.. or gut wrenching correction.. Standing aside still.
Haynesville shale.. a game changer for NG ?
Time to look at Westport ? http://www.westport.com/
Do not laugh but also considering IBM and Johnson and Johnson.. LT uptrends.. Possible breakouts... around 2% yield each... Good old fogey plays LOL

Took a starter position in FSLR late in the day.
POWERED BY POTASH ONE
Yep... Thinking about just forgetting the market completely for a few months... need to focus on other stuff.. Was waiting for some COS @ 42-43 ... Guess that bet is off :O)
Nope... I've been scalping ETFs and go run over today.. trading only in one account though... the rest of the family is 98% cash..
POWERED BY POTASH ONE
LOL I'm asking...
So we have turned the corner... ? crisis averted... go long young man... anything and everything :O)
wonder if that would qualify as alternative energy :O)
mostly cash... only holding in size order..
COW, HFD, PRC, RSI.UN, SSN, AZA
HFD entered this AM ... was > 80% cash prior to that 'bet' :O)
I rolled a good one day scalp on SU into more PWT.UN... but I sure missed the low... still squeezed > 1$ of profit on the buy though...
Oh! Doubled up on HTE also. Thinking crude drop and better crack spreads ?
Added to COW and DAY.UN today...
Was on the bid for a 3rd chunk of PRC... last bought here The spike may be a fluke but it feels good... If a fluke... I'll be adding more :O) http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=30047972
Nice close :O) Also bouyght back some of my DAY.UN Friday (at a higher price)
