That's pretty cute... I popped it over onto SI..
ooops thought I was replying... I mean the Evil Quadruple...
My travel trailer is in my driveway... I always have many of those items by default.. also I have two Aussie Cattle Dogs.. Think 100+ pound dogs in a 50 package.. Also among the smartest... kinda like tamed Dingos :O)
I'm getting a generator within a month that will run the trailer and be a backup for the home..
My list is a tad shorter.. I quit smoking 16 years ago :O)
Decided to cash in my HEU and see what happens Friday..
Bought back 1/3 of my TAN
Frank tomorrow is Friday :O)
Closed SRS for a 1.50..
Bought a few SRS Realestate short ETF 51.59
ROTF... roll the dice I went in HEU and HFU near the close yesterday.. My thinking is also we see higher in oil before the pullback.. Out HFU near the open ... still holding HEU..
Just saw that the Chinese are offering support for solar manufactures.. I had TAN a a long term play.. Don't mind buying back higher.. but in this market the pop I got was too good to resist.. higher cash and PF moving up... a good day so far..
RE: Pullback... I`m thinking on TAN here... as we should see some follow through tomorrow if market sentiment stays up.. I`m getting really nervous though as April approaches.. Months long rally or dump soon.. Will not chance going all in here.. cash getting higher :O)
Geez see solar stocks JASO, STP and solar ETF TAN ... buy a pull back.. ?
Disclosure I was long all three until a few moments ago.. especially TAN.. which you could play Frank :O)
Energy a little perkier than I expected.. Is supply destruction going to overtake demand destruction.. or will folks at least think that way for a few hours :O)
Mr. People make me Pro-nuclear Hope you stuck with you gold buys :O)
Geesh... gold at it again ... off to do some stuff in the 3D world :O)
Good read for after hours http://siliconinvestor.advfn.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=25512065
BTW Frank, on gold.. the pop yesterday did not look like it had gusto.. (volume) ... certainly not like the volume you pointed out last week.. so that was the factor for me not getting back in..
I was watching that since I closed the last of my HGU this AM. Did not re-enter. Net net raised cash (been trimming since last week).. but did buy some Connacher oil ... are you ready for this... Debentures.. 10K face value for 3600 bucks so just a tiny flyer.. Yields 13%+... and gives me back 10K face value if the company doesn't go belly up :O)
Also added some ARE.TO Aecon Construction @ 9.02 (Infrastructure)
My yield producers are almost all up quite nicely... and mostly another 4 weeks to ex-div so if they start looking toppy I may raise more cash ... I road a lot of these down and now back up due to the yield.. but I'm having second thoughts of putting myself through that angst again :O)
Yeah that came out stupidly...
better to ask.. You are only risking a portion of the portfolio this sway ?
three of my accounts are sitting in very high cash.. with most of the 'action' happening in just one...
nosy.
Well Frank there is a lot of optimism out there.. In retrospect had I just sat on my hands these past 6 weeks I'd be further ahead.. I should have dumped my HFD Friday instead of stopping out today.. Live and learn... However .. up is up :O)
and have the darn thing pay me a return of 5% a month Now is that trading or passive investing :O)
I'm hearing safe to buy on the news ... I guess economic recovery is a scant 6 months off.. ;o)
Guess it's considered 'clarity' ..
EDIT: US home sales surprised to the upside...
I started to like that show but I missed so many episodes I couldn't really follow... Guess I'll have to buy in on DVD ...
Rally coming here with the toxic bailout being pushed .. Looks like Europe and Asia both liking it.. and DOW futures ...
You ain't kidding Frank.. I went long GOLD (HGU) Tuesday.. missed the scalp on HFD Tuesday as my gains evaporated while I was in the shower.. go figure.. added on a stinker bid.. so Wednesday was a bit tense.... TBT was smacked but Ben but HGD overwhelmed that :O) My other stuff doing mostly good too..
Good time skiing...
K
On dialup here :o)
LOL I'm not terribly worried .. :O)
How is that show ? Never watched it yet but it's advertised a lot.. so I've seen snippets..
My turn to be premature LOL
Tonight... Nikkei climbs as exporters, banks and techs gain
Well that makes sense since the sticks have the leverage.. and f the world is not perceived to be ending tomorrow any longer then gold is back to a down the road inflation play..
I shorted finacials at the close HFD.. but the leash is very tight.. Off for a few days tomorrow.. skiing out east..
XGD volume seems to be much stronger than individual goldies say ABX,G,K,AUY.. and stronger than HGU.TO but those dailies look similar despite that..
Wouldn't that be the 'I think the financials have gotten ahead of themselves' play also ?
Well I'm creeping upwards.. but sold my Canuck financials too early.. I am outta sync.. Frank must be sitting on his longs :O)
Well I was successful on two scalps today.. HFU in the AM and HXU in the late morning.. but both were sloppy and I likely made a third of what I could have.. I realise more and more that it is foolish to do this in this market without real time charting even if my chart reading is wanting.... Level II is not enough and in fact my level II from BMO is only useful for Canadian markets..
A good day nonetheless.. Had to go out in the afternoon for an oil change or my HXU would have been much more profitable.. I closed it before leaving...
Now you need to work Friday ;0)
LOL now the HGU is moving :O)
I'm guessing you are holding your S&P overnight ? If Asia follows through... (lack of which yesterday played with my head) it should be good in the morning at least.. unless .... it's not LOL
Not particularly at the moment Frank, ... Where I post mostly is the Boom Boom room and a value thread.. Not much gold interest there.. Rarely post on a gold thread 'cept to stay in touch with a few posters from time to time.. The SI thread where polar shows up occasionally are expecting gold / massive inflation but I don't see that yet as you know.. now gold looks like it's back to inverse the USD right now..
I'm just having trouble getting any conviction about anything here.. so my stuff is melting up but lagging the market presently..
EDIT: I didn't even go to the PDAC this year :O)
>I'd love to have a new trend follow. yes would be nice..
I was thinking HEU last night... It wasn't doing much this AM ans I got busy elsewhere..
I'm not buying anything right here.. I bought a boring pipeline yesterday.. Pembina.
No clue Frank, :o( Now I'm wondering if this 'rally' goes until end of March and I should get long.. or just continue to raise cash into the strength .. Then again I left some juicy profits on the table doing that so far ...
You sound as frustrated as me ...
Well I gt out of my backs too early.. and I've been sitting on my hands watching the indexes rise ...
You are Scotia iTrade now ?
ROTF.. And watch BNN and listen to music... but no coffee today... I'm fasting until surgery :o( I like the AM procedures better drats..
out the balance SRS 72.58.. 2 scalps like that a week and I have a decent wage.. That was almost 20 hours of sub contract work.. for two hours of market watching :O) May go higher but I have an afternoon appointment with the Kidney stone blaster ...
out half SRS 71.47
In SRS 67.42 oh oh..
Example would be HGU (supposed to track global gold index of stocks ie Barrick et al) as opposed to HBU (supposed to track Comex bullion) both use futures for 2X and especially when front month rolls over problems occur.. and yes I've seen opposing horizon funds both up or both down..at the same time.. Your friend Google can shed more light on these leveraged funds...
So is Armageddon averted ... Watching Asia ans Europe tonight..
I see SRS hit my upper 60s today... Gadzooks... amazing 25$ drop... real estate is fixed in the US I guess in just one day :O)
Deflation over... inflation starts tonight LOL
Lots of discussion on SI regarding this point.. Has to do with the volatility and futures used to gain 2X... Search poster TRIG on BBR for some insight..
Good ST vehicles... but all 2or 3X funds suffer this.. Note Horizons just opened some new 1X funds.. They've heard a fair bit of heat apparently... USO or DBA or COW same deal not just Horizons
Well I sold a pile of US stuff in my RRSP so now I'm looking for something to buy so I can wash the forex commission ... no luck yet...
HOU down almost 7%
