Goog announced release of free turn-by-turn gps. Garmin and other gps companies took a hit. Grmn went 15% down. And know what's funny? Google didn't move up! In fact, I give it 1-2 days before it starts to fall like the other stocks. AMD, IBM, Dell has given me a nice 7% return so far.
Anyone bearish with me?

I heard the US Treasury is going to hold something like the biggest bond auction in history this week. Normally, the US dollar mysteriously rallies ahead of those sales, and stocks get sold off, as does gold. Thus, we are seeing a flight to cash and the stronger US Dollar for this reason.
After all, the bonds needs to be spit-shined up and polished for any buyers who are silly enough to consider them...

lol just as the fed announces their ending bond purchase program. rates are going up!
TBT should be a buy and hold now. Reserve bank of Australia increased their rate, norway, i think isreal too. BoJ and the Fed should be the last ones to increase rates im guessing. We are finally in a rising rate cycle. The wind is in sails of the bulls for sure.
any options players wanna join me in CVX 80 nov calls? earnings play just a spec play not much at stake so i dont lose or win much

Any thoughts on TSE income funds? Such as (KEG.UN). They pay out 1% in dividends every month

NDR-V, a play I am looking at. Heavily undervalued to a similar play near them called DRI-V.
NDR-V is around the area of the Aurelian discovery (later acquired by Kinross).
NDR-V = 4.3 mill market cap with 33 million o/s shares.
DRI-V = 44 mill market cap with about 52 million o/s shares.

With kinross finally getting their long awaited permits to drill again on their Fruta Del Norte Property in Ecuador (About 13.5 mill ozs of Gold), Looks for the other area plays to get their permits as well.
In general, these area plays should fair well.
You have: [As of November 11th]
*SRL-V at $1.00/share
*EC-V at $0.74/share
*DRI-V at $0.87/share
*NDR-V at $0.14/share
*CGP-V at $0.17/share
IMO, EC-V (Ecometals) is the best risk/reward play, being adjacent to the discovery hole, and drills ready on the permits approval.
2nd - SRL-V, Because they are further from the discovery hole, but past drilling has come up with some solid results. And drills are ready upon permits approval.
Then you have DRI, NDR, CGP, which are really just spec plays that will follow the movement and activity of Kinross/EC/SRL results and price movement.
If you're looking for the quickest double from here, I would put my money on NDR.
The other big risk factor: Market Turbulance.
The markets tumble again as people realize the economy hasn't really all that improved.

Reason: NDR was at 14cents on that date I posted

I'm actually currently looking into this. I switched to the bold from the Iphone and am now regretting it. Don't get me wrong, I love the BB and the BBM features, but their remote desktop app is nothing like the Iphone counter part. I was thinking of looking at charts and stuff through my phone on my desktop and make trades that way.

I'm switching between the iPhone and BB, depending if I find a good app, I might just stick to the BB and use the iPhone as an iTouch or...have two lines..again lolz.

where does everybody think natural gas will go in the short term. prices have taken a beating this year, and with the cold weather just around the corner inventories should finally drop a little thus shoring up the natural gas price? comments? Personally, i think it is a good time to buy some now...possibly HNU?

Natural Gas - Companies are always finding more of it. Even now, companies have found huge reserves in Canada/USA alone, in the form of shale gas.
The natural gas supplies are maxed out already.
You are going to have to expect a really long winter to impact the gas reserves.
Why buy Natural gas when Gold and other commodities are doing great.
Why beat the trend? Follow it.

ANy opinions? | I don't know too much about those companies, only a bit about K.TO. Kinross has some room to go as Ecuador gave them a permit for mining again, allowing them to resume drilling at the huge high grade gold discovery.
Regardless, all large cap gold stocks would go up if the underlying metal, gold, continues its hot streak, as profit margins will only be greater.
Will it continue to go up? or Down? Your guess is as good as mine.
But 2cents, Gold is in historical highs, caused by what? The devaluing of the greenback, and countries buying gold for their reserves. One thing is for sure, USA won't let their dollar devalue too much.
All and All, Everything in this market is volatile, analysts are saying the markets are overvalued, etc, blah, blah.
If this position in either ABX/K.TO is a Long position, then I say take a small position and add on dips. If this is a short-term investment, don't bother. IMO

Heads up on Coalcorp Mining, looks like they are finally getting their Sh#@ together.
Although it has more than doubled, and warrants (all 3 classes I think), I still believe their is further upside potential.
I will probably take a position in it soon. Most likely in the warrants, class B, expiry in 2013 with a exercise price of $2.50.
Current Prices:
CCJ.TO - 0.345
CCJ.WT/B.TO - 0.045

Just remember, prices fall faster than they rise.
And yeah, I picked up some financial bear ETF's as well today.

Dow Futures down just over 204 points
and Asian Indices in a sea of red.
