GPRN wasn't really a good stock to buy. I subscribe to their deals through email. And it's be shittier and shittier every day since they went public.

I notice Living Social has better deals than they do.

A junior energy company I'm looking at is Forent Energy. Realized that Brett Wilson (former Dragon's Den guy) who made his money in oil and gas has 20% stake in this company. It's not worth a whole lot right now, but they are planning to drill in the reefs in Nova Scotia hoping to find petroleum.

Me. Should have set a much tighter stop-loss when I bought it, FML.

Interesting news about CLL... 10% ownership stake bought
K2 PRINCIPAL FUND L.P. | The K2 Principal Fund L.P. acquires common shares of Connacher Oil and Gas Limited

Also, what a day for TAG and NZ... if only I still had cash to average down today... they both made huge gains on good news from TAG. NZ should have well reports on CM-3 soon and if they hit oil it's going to be a good payday!!

Mark

Why the "lol"?

How about "who is still holding CUU" or "who is still holding Sino Forest".

CLL still hanging in there at .94, take a look at the other Canadian Oilsands producers and see what their charts look like over the last 2 months. It's tough times again for Bitumen sales.

I still hold CUU and CLL. CUU i picked up for under $1. so im not too concerned, Connacher is actually holding up pretty decently considering whats happening to the other oilsand producers.

There is no hidden meaning in the 'lol', I am still holding almost 10000 shares of CLL myself. You need to chill out jasonturbo.

Finally got my money back on my Rimm puts I placed before earnings.

My AAPL calls went down a bit (bought 605 May 2012 Calls @ 603 Monday morning.) I'm still in the money, but I will play the earnings this month (April 24).

From purely a TA standpoint. Good move. Stochastic are down. MACD's are turning positive. May give you 10% back by June if the market stays at least sideways.

But you're probably gonna play the earnings on this
