Besides think of all those times we've posted Pescod ...
Hey! nows there's an idea.. :O)
EDIT: besides @ kin I don't recall seeing the fancy 'letterhead' for Winstons... 'course it might be a similar idea... that I don't know ;O)
Don't spoil the feeling... he's swimming around out there and googles that up... :O)
close epough to taste it yesterday but actually down a bit today ... stopped out of my Painted Pony balance..
Yes... I came close to selling the sucker... I added a bunch @ .61 ?? .60 ??? one or the other ... between that and CLL my wife loves me again... mostly in her account... LOL
With CLL doing better and it's relationship with CLL I think that is helping...
Yeah I'd be more worried if it was just KCL... API stayed pretty strong though and my CLL came back hard .. Guess someone actually read the earnings report last night LOL I added on the sell off late yesterday.. 4.28.. http://siliconinvestor.advfn.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=24585424
really the way KCL was trading recently we wouldn't have been seeing any green today hardly... but someone obviously wanted in yesterday in a big way...
FOS, POT and RAY all popped and fizzled... I still figure KCL will be 3 up 2 down for a while... lots of broken hearts and nervous folks bought this up before... lots of resistance @ 4 bucks.... we'll see more of this... but yeah not a nice stick today...
Sold some Painted Pony... riding cheaper than free shares :O)
Ya well the other issue here is gonna be so much frustration that it creates lots of resistance...
Michael Smedley FOS TOP PICK :O) on BNN
He is in around 1.70
I see it gets a good run like it used to and folks are bailing it seems... sigh..
what a waste ... this is more efficient ;o) http://siliconinvestor.advfn.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=24573835
I own COW which is cattle and hog futures. There is FEED a Hog company. Really all I'm aware of presently in the meats. DBA and JJG (both grains) look interesting again..
Give Don Coxe a listen http://siliconinvestor.advfn.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=24577542
I added a few more today... I had a few FEED but sat on my hands mostly and missed a huge run..
Let him pound away :O)
post when you fill yer boots so I can stop drinking :O)
KCL is proving hard (impossible LOL) to read for me this go..
The price just popped back to 3.19... the ask was 3.20 and almost instantly a 2 lot order @ 3.18 trickles in on the ask.. somebody is throwing little lots at it to keep it down it looks like.. I could be wrong... but it keeps happening.. I'm not even talking 1K orders here but 1 and 2 lots at a pop... I guess it could be someone liquidating but in those lots sizes seems unlikely...
EDIT: 3.20 and a 1 lot @ 3.17 appears... hence my theory..
I own enough... just waiting... I'm already beyond the no guts no glory point..
Yes my COW is out of the barn :O)
looks like he sold about 2/3 of the warrants he exercised ?
green crops all warm and fuzzy.. potash grows them better... make grandma want to buy it :O)
That's what we figure happens to the warrants ... no ?
They are listed as buying so I figured disposition would also show up.. 'course that might be fuzzy logic... needed money for Western :o( I'm gonna own 15% soon :O(
SEDI hasn't turned up any Pinetree selling yet I don't think... I keep looking.. or am I reading wrong..
what an unfriendly system that is... programmers and mgmt should be shot.

RAY advertising on BNN LOL
triple bottom ? don't need a pictorial :o)
I'll dump mine... that'll get you your price :o(
not really...
Insiders have not sold any significant amount. Yes. everyone should keep an eye on the SEDI reports for comfort.
Isn't that less than 1% of the outstanding shares ?
the paper coming due on May 29 ?? is 500K so shorts makes sense then ??
Next time I find out how to get .60 warrants :O)
I dunno .. watching the trading (still some paper expiring end of May) it is odd... Lots of bids come in BUT some one is still unloading. every time the bids starts moving up someone drops the ask with a 1 lot ask .. (watch it and you will see). This has been going on for a while.. Looks like someone is unloading and someone is accumulating but want a bit cheaper..
Anyway look like a game to me...
also frustrated..
Australian Wheat Output May Increase 92%, Bank Says (Update2)
By Madelene Pearson

May 6 (Bloomberg) -- Australia, the world's second-biggest wheat exporter before two years of drought ravaged crops, may almost double its harvest this year as higher prices and better weather encourage planting, National Australia Bank Ltd. said.
Production may rise 92 percent from a year earlier to 25.1 million metric tons, up from 23 million tons forecast in February, Frank Drum, the bank's agribusiness economist, said today by phone from Melbourne. The forecast is still less than the 26 million tons predicted in March by the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics.
Rain has eased drought in Australia, the sixth-largest wheat exporter this year. Bigger crops may help to improve global food supplies and slow inflation that has stoked social tension in some developing countries. Wheat prices surged 67 percent in the past year, reaching a record $13.495 a bushel on Feb. 27.
``I don't think there's any doubt that the high current grain prices are having an effect on farmers' decisions on what they plant,'' Drum said. ``Particularly given how early it is in the season I am reluctant to go too much higher at the moment. That's not to say there isn't potential to see a crop higher than that 25 million tons.''
Australia produced 13.1 million tons of wheat last year after drought killed crops. The country's exports in the year ending June 30 may fall to 7.5 million tons, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That's down from more than 16 million tons in 2005-06, which was second only to U.S. shipments.
Bigger Crops
Conditions have improved in Western Australia state and in northern New South Wales state after rainfall lifted soil moisture, Drum said.
Grain growers in Australia are seeking to plant bigger crops so they can replenish income depleted by the country's worst drought on record. Farmers rely on rain at this time of the year to sow crops before the harvest that starts from October.
Wheat futures in Chicago traded at $8.0525 a bushel at 12:03 p.m. Sydney time, near a five-month low and about 40 percent below February's record high.
Total winter grain production in Australia may increase 72 percent this cropping year, National Australia Bank Ltd. said.
The nation may produce 38.8 million metric tons of all grains including wheat, barley and canola, the bank, Australia's biggest lender to farmers, said today in an e-mailed statement. That's 22 percent above the five-year average of 31.8 million tons, it said.
Cotton Output
Australia's cotton crop is also being helped by rainfall, and output will almost triple next year as farmers expand their fields, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Production may soar to 1.5 million bales in the year ending September 2009, from 525,000 in the year ending this September, the agency's Foreign Agricultural Service said in a report posted on the USDA Web site. Harvested area will more than triple to 190,000 hectares, the report stated.

Right... I saw your picture on your bike :O) retiree LOL..
you're living my dream ... congrats :O)
Well I got T-bones for 4.99/lb recently... beef is cheap...
Consequently I have a position in COW (cattle and hog futures ETF on US exchange NOT COW on the TSE, different animal pun intended :O)) and wait patiently...
WASHINGTON: It's not just Argentina that is sacrificing its beef industry on the grain alter, the USA is doing the same thing.
On January 1, 2008, the USDA said the American beef herd was down 200,000 head from a year ago to 32.6 million head.
That is the smallest cowherd in 60 years.
American ranchers continue to slaughter cows at an astounding rate as pasture land is plowed up to grow grain and oilseed crops.
So far in 2008, total cow slaughter is up 16 percent over last year and 24 percent over the five-year average.
In a normal 10 year cattle cycle, 2007 should have been the peak year in numbers but turned out to actually be below the previous cycles low set in 2004.
This cow decline has been in the face of what has been historically excellent profits for cow-calf producers.
Drought, producer demographics and expensive corn appear to have trumped what had been one of American agricultures most reliable economic cycles.
