Getting money is the same. Again, if ur doing day trading and timing is key, don't go questrade. U'll probably lose more due to timing errors than u'll save by lowered brokerage fees.

This thread is comedic. It boggles my mind the people claiming to be financial experts on here.
My two cents are just to do the research yourself, and dont listen to people that dont have a capital markets background or some 20 yr old university student, cause the majority of the time, they dont know shiet.
With regards to CUU, copper prices have dropped 25% in the last month. This is similar with the other drop in other commodity prices. As prices of the underlying commodity fall, so will the stock.
If you liked CUU a month ago, you should still like it now. The company doesnt seem to have any liquidity issues. It still seems like a play on the results. Having said that I might buy some if it drops a bit on monday. It's a risky play for sure but I think the rewards are worth it.

I was wondering if I go with IB the 0.01 per per share is it one way or both?
ie if I buy 1000 shares its $10 for transasctions and when I sell its another $10
therefore $20 for entire transaction

Yeah, good call lime56, I'm sitting on sidelines for next little while. Looks like my POT will end up as a long-term hold

seems only hope is either china or qatar saving greece temporarily
but hard to invest in something that is so under water

speaking of long term holds... I was just looking at the BOA stock on google finance.. basically if you invested 25 years ago into this stock and stuck with it as a long term hold until today, you'd be at the same as what you started off with 25 years ago (not a penny less!... yet!)

i want a strong US / european economy more than anything else, but corporate america is trucking along nicely
maybe my comments are more long term in nature, but i'm not widely going around tell ppl to buy financials (whcih isnt' working out so well thus far, in the 'short term') - i'd say buy companies that you believe in, well managed, well positioned, strong balance sheet, which you believe in for the long term
hell, look at CAT (a company i own), Cummins, and other WELL RUN industrials, ppl are pissing themselves about a potential downturn in the economy, but are they cutting outlook? no, they realize that growth in asia is a long term thing, china cannot change course with respect to its capital programs until at least 2020 - people talk about empty shopping malls and whats not in china, and call for the end of the world & a hoax of an economy... but china is building an infrastructure to house 70% of its inhabitants in cities (in line wiht US/europe) for the long term, so yes, they may build too much today, but its a lot more efficient and cheaper to prebuild than build after hte fact (as in that situation, they can't meet their 70% target)
again, maybe its because i have a longer term outlook, but if i were buying, i'd be slowly buying plenty of mining, gold (which i do own plenty of), ag plays (deere, dupont) whilst having some dividend protection. but i have a feeling, a conservative, long term view, diversified portfolio isn't en vogue with the majority here |
just had to read this again
sigh

At least with the market selling off my U.S. cash positions are gaining value... USD/CAD 1.07 then 1.15? Not completely out of the question.
^
it's time for Americans to come here and shop. but then again everything here is at least 20% more expensive so the currency issue is insignificant.
