Thanks for the heads up on CAN.

Darn, I was just looking at Can-v yesterday, comparing it to MTB-V and DEC-V.

Makes no sense that Can-v has more than double the market cap of MTB/DEC-v (Currently its at a 20/80 split, but could be 40/60 split depending on the S/H vote in Jan) when both companies have similar initial results.

Look at the past new releases and you will see some of their initial results from the Stewart lake area of BC,

i.e: Hole 5 of 39.63m of 4.7g/t of gold
Hole 6 of 55.18m of 9.64g/t of gold
including 24.7m of 20.87g/t of gold

And holes 1 and 2 were of similar results.

Not to mention, more news coming next week on the next batch of assays.

I'm invested in MTB, but if MTB/DEC would to get noticed, DEC-V would definitely be the clear winner in the short term as current o/s shares are just at 11million and they do own the majority % of the Red Cliff Project.

with a long list of earnings coming out this coming week, where does everybody think the broader market is heading? we all saw what happened when alcoa beat their EPS estimate. should we expect the same to happen especially with the financials? a lot of people are saying that jpm and bac are going to report a gain while citi will report a loss - despite that, i have a feeling we are heading up.

Would love to hear your guys' thoughts

well even if they report good earnings, i have an eerie feeling that the market is gonna tank for some reason
it seems like the economy is still in the shits and our stocks are going up for reasons i dont consider justified

Hey I want to start off with 500$ do you think I can get anywhere with it?

$500 can barely cover the commission costs on the way in & out. If you want to be serious about it get at least a couple grand or else it's better just stick with paper trading.

erm you could try forex, but stocks? no... usually a minimum required...

$500 go to the casino, just go to the casino or buy a penny stock and leave it there for a longgggggggggg time. (1 year)

I'm a newb on this and just want to start. What online broker do you guys recommend me to use?
Do we trade as in lot (@500 shares) or what?

Thanks in advance

i would start with 100 share increments until i got good

I think only HK and China's stocks are bought in a lot, like in a hand, you have to buy 500 shares. North America, you buy whatever you want, even 1 share.

Well, if a broker let you open a trading account with only $500, I'd trade high volume penny stocks like SIRI and ETFC...

looks like we gonna gap up huge tmr

DOW 10000 could be tmr

not just dow, I think tsx will gap up too, base on HSI and europe stock market. They are doing pretty good right now.

i was thinking of doing some investing tied to my TFSA.
what are your guys thoughts on ETFs?

Hey guys, I got a question. Is the profit from stock market and forex trading taxable?

HK stocks are bought in lots, but not always 500. Can be 400, 500, 1000, it depends on the company. Chinese A shares are not bought in lots, I am not sure about B shares.

Yes taxable, they are consider capital gains.

only 50% of your cap gain is taxed and any cap loss can be carried over

Chinese A shares are bought in lots of 100 shares I believe

Not if it's under your TFSA.

How exactly does that work? I was under the understanding I could only put 5k into a TFSA and have it earn 2% or whatever a year. Is there a way I can invest in the market and have it non taxable(to my TFSA limit)?

Correct

Just open a TFSA account that allows you to trade stocks or whatnot and earn your 2%, 50%, 100% or whatever a year tax-free.

i believe in the TFSA accounts, u cannot claim your losses...

so, what, unless you're a hot shot trader, what's the fuckin point? someone explain to me the benefits. cuz i know 90%+ of you out there aint making money in the fuckin long run.

cause you are not supposed to do flash trades with your TFTAs, and for the better part of this year, buy and hold = 20% profit

i beg to differ
mwauahahah
