Hey Rrufff those are all valid questions and concerns and as you are aware there is no such thing as a guarantee in the stock market! LOL

Hmmm you were asking the very same questions just over one year ago? If you had invested into the three primary stocks I first listed here you would have made over a 50% return including dividends and capital gains had you actively monitored and traded the shares..

In fact if you had bought PGH at 13., AAV at 8.5, PVX at 9, HTE at 18.9 in January You would of had some hefty gains in just under 60 days along with an average of 14% dividends...

These are what I would consider some of the safest stocks on the market. In fact the brokerages think so also as they will let you margin these Canadian oil stocks with as little as 35% equity maintenance opposed to the 50% requirement of most stocks over 5 dollars!

You can also use a straddle strategy to protect your principle as well. It all comes down to your risk tolerance and seeing as how you actively trade micro cap stocks I would say it seems you a high risk tolerance...

So you have had over one year to follow this board and study these stocks.. Its up to you if you want to pull the buy trigger? Of course as I just said they have had some significant gains in the last 3 months so they are at there high end of the range currently..

Here review your post you made last year and see if it is any different then what you posted one year later?

Great idea for a board. Although I post about speculative microcaps and penny stocks, it's way more important to have the bulk of one's portfolio in strong credible dividend plays, as well as high quality debt. I've done very well and spent so little time posting about XOM and EPD, very high yield plays, that have been excellent hedges against the current issues in our world and which are internally diversified. However, I've been looking to further diversify in this area of my portfolio and have noticed many respected posters have mentioned the Canadian Trusts.

I'd like to, and I'm sure others would like to learn more about the basics starting with the issues of trading, brokers, and, especially, the risks. The latter is important as one doesn't get such high returns without inherent risk.

So, I look forward to any sources of basic information, from which we can glean how to trade, the best method to actually buy and sell, brokers to use, US symbols vs. Canadian tickers, and, again, inherent risks.

Thanks for your efforts.

regards and happy trading,

good luck
