just raise cash and let all the dust settles. i will be in 50-60% cash and wait for an opportunity to get into some of my favorite names if the we get a decent correction. but something tells me this year's correction won't be as deep as 2011.

Just loaded up on Great West Lifeco. It lost almost 10% in the past few days for no significant reason and has a decent dividend scheduled at the end of the month.

Out of the major insurance companies in canada, GWL seems to be the most stable and profitable. Hope my thoughts turn out right.

Answer the question:

If I had 60k buring a hole in my pocket right now, I would buy ____________.

Here is the catch, not looking to hold this longer than 30 days. Oh and I would prefer to make money not lose it lol.

Holy all oil stocks getting raped batman. Took the opportunity to use the last of my cash to put a big order in for TAO at 9.00 if it gets there. Ugly to look at today but I suspect it's only a temporary blip.

You can BUY more at $2.50. Rob McEwen is the guy who found Goldcorp.

He wants to get MUX into the S&P 500 qualification by 2015. Who knows but the guy puts his money where his mouth is. He owns 25% of the company.

I'm heavy heavy into MUX.

Also heavy into Ivanhoe Mines with the big management change, no takeover premium, Rio Tinto taking full control and the Mongolia government threatening expropriation I don't think I can do any worse.

Yah FAZ is up around 8% the last 2 days. Watched CLL go down to .69 this morning before going up again.

Rumors of QE3 continue.

Predicted a bounce today on one of my holdings, and a 9 percent bounce happened like clockwork.

I think I'm getting the hang of this...
