I prefer backrubs from hot chicks, but appreciate the gesture : )

The significance of the rate cut is the uncertainty of further cuts IMO. Gold jumped at the cut / inflation #'s. KGC / GG up 5-6% as expected.

Gotta love this market tho...$3.25B loss (GM)... and goes up 12% pre rate cut? LOL

All the big fund managers who have their group rotation on Potash are sticking to it. I don't see anymore fund managers moving in. Thus, it seems like there's not much big money going in. If you look at the MACD and stochastic of Potash, these values are in a downward trend. Also, the price right now is hovering around the 30 day moving average. it seems like a sideways trend for me unless more news comes in about rising food prices. It doesn't help that Goldman Sachs removed Potash from it's "Conviction Buy" list. The stock went down 5% alone after this announcement.

Speaking of POT, IPI just came out last week as a IPO. Did well the first day, now slipping. Compared to POT's 168 dollar value, IPI is pretty cheap at 45. IPI might have a better return once food shortage comes knocking on their door.

Visa is more focus in US (which people started to slow down their spending), while Internationally, Mastercard is much more exposed than Visa.
While other countries are spending more, Mastercard is earning more than Visa.

In conclusion, VISA and Mastercard is really good long play growth stock. We are using 'plastic' more and more than we used to. Both companies are taking pennies from every single dollar we used their 'plastic' to pay for gas, grocery...etc..

You do when you are building a portfolio, since most of them will only have one opening for a stock in a certain industry, and that choice usually goes to the biggest player in the pond.

Good market today so far for Tech and S&P. Funny that Exxon's 10.9billion is falling short of expectations

CSCO, DELL, NVDA, Broadcom all up 5-6%

Gold's down already on first day of May...sign of summer doldrums?

I believe so, I am expecting Gold futures to hit high 700 to low 800s before more crappy news hit and inflation begins to catch up from the past few rate cuts.

+1 for diversified portfolio and protective put. JPM and AAPL has been doing quite good the past month

This morning, UBS raised their price target on Mastercard (NYSE: MA) from $275 to $350, maintaining a Buy rating, and raised their price target on rival Visa (NYSE: V) from $88 to $100, also maintaining a Buy.

Earlier in the week, both credit card payment processors reported better-than-expected first quarter results due to strong transaction volume.

Shares of MA currently trade at $282.50 and V trades at $84.50.

That made him a very rich man and a welcomed Tax payer .

Seriously though, as long as the VP filed for the selling, it's not too much of a negative news

I'm looking at Sun (JAVA). Dropped 20%+ this week on missed earnings... longterm play here. Think mobile Gmail, majority of corporate softwares delivered via net (salesforce.com), medical billing systems like Wolf ... many of which runs on Java backing. DD of course.

I am looking at this one too.

I believe part of the sharp drop is due to missing "conservative" earnings, which is not a very good sign.

on the other hand, go go gold

Those of you who bought JAVA few days ago at its 52week low would've made a quick 8% so far.

Wash Mutual is down to its low again, could be a good time to get in a solid retail sector bank

On the venture side I like Energold Drilling (EGD.v) and TNR (TNR.v). EGD is a profitable drilling company - with commodity price way it is, simple answer. It's a bit high though, but plenty of cash in reserve and expansion of their driling fleet. Did expand to Africa tho... could be a concern w/ moratorium in drilling / safety in the region... no pain no gain though.

TNR has Merrill Lynch buying 200k+ shares recently. Als noted spiked volume in trading / Russian investor coming in at 20% ownership piques my interest. Last Nov it peaked at 0.72 on super high volume due to commencement of a project... with more 2 more projects starting in June/Jul could be a good time to pick up some cheap shares.

Loaded up some BBD.B early this week at $6.40 & 6.49 for a long term play. IMO looking for a $9 target.

One of our CPC deals is going thru the QT phase now, keep an eye on ACR.P

CNK.P and RAN.P are two other CPCs we working on too.

7Seven are you a director at any of the CPC's? Are the founder shares at 0.05 per most cap pools? TIA

Been watching MCEL for the past 3 months now. SUPER RISKY, but whoever got in a .015 is one lucky because it's at .08 now

Quote:
Hydrogen fuel cell developer Millennium Cell has released a statement to its shareholders detailing its current financial situation.

In a statement yesterday the company announced that it had been unable to secure enough funding to continue its business operations - and as a result "furloughed" all employees until further notice.

Millennium Cell's board of directors and senior managers are said to be in talks with third parties, which have "expressed interest in entering into a potential transaction with the company" and could provide short-term liquidity.

"The company cannot provide any assurances that it will be able to complete any of these potential transactions or, if such a transaction were not completed on reasonable terms, avoid a bankruptcy proceeding," Millennium Cell stated.

Not a director. Yes most founding/restricted shares are at .05 or .10

Yea, kept adding to my existing positions today. IMO should be a nice upward trend until the 1st quarter results meeting June 4th, everyone speculating great results, if that holds true, should be due for a nice pop after. Either way I see this as a great long term play.

Bombardier and Airbus are always two good solid buys, altho I usually don't like buying on a high pending a NR / positive news. Call me a pessimist.

Speaking of airlines (and non-pennies) I'm looking at DAL and NWA. Proposed merger will be the real news mover... and I like the potential growth both has since being beaten down by the consumer confidence, both down 5-6%.
