wow that's crazy O.o hope you weren't holding a lot..

On another note. CUU on a tear.

Watched it for awhile at around $1 and didn't buy. Fwwwk!

I agree to some extent. History has repeatedly told us that whenever money is printed (quantitative easing), almost always the first place that money goes is into the stock market. As we can see from the market indices in recent months, history is spot on again.

What we don't know, however, is when the fun will stop and the next major (10-15%) correction will occur. For some reason, as much fun as I am having right now waking up to see my portfolio turn GREEN virtually every day, I know the party will end sometime. But when? In January 2000, everyone was saying that things were different this time around, that this bull run had been driven by new money, that we were in the age of the "New Economy", going so far as capitalising those very words. :fullofwin: In the meantime, I'm not going to complain but will enjoy the ride :woot2:

FMM.V and ORT.A.V looks like their going to explode. So far I got 20% gain from FMM and 94% gain from ORT.A.V. Technical side looks like both are a definite up trend, but do your own due diligence.

CUU up again. I should've bought more.

damn i was going to buy more at .93 lol

oh well, maybe give it a couple days to come down (like it did from 1.12 to low .90's) anyone think that will happen?

ok so what's your picks now?

ccy or min?

looks like roulston had given some minor props to BCG...enough to jump the stock back up decently

i've got sells in but thinking maybe i'll wait for the NTL news next week

which one of you guys are in on NVT besides gdoh? big jump today.

What do you guys see NVT doing? What is your price target for getting out?

Got more last week in my RRSP when it corrected. Thanks for all the advice suzuka84. Let's hope good things are coming. :fullofwin:

cut off grade 50$/t is 1.6 billion and thats a worst case scenario :willnill:

and they still got other projects i see this hitting a couple bucks this year

just my opinion

ugh getting slaughtered today, US markets down big :(

Were you in DCTH?

blkgsr did you buy more CUU today? I added more at 1.24.

Their feasibility study is due out soon. Plus their recent private placement was at a 1.25 range. I assume anything below it can be a buy.

no i didn't...no funds...home reno :(

i was going to sell my bcg but i'm waiting to hear what's coming for them in the next week...bcg was up today anyways

cuu is at 1.20 right now, down .14 10.5%

maybe transfer some funds tomorrow (need to figure out my taxes first and find out if i need to make an rrsp contribution, min to not have to pay taxes)

speaking of rrsp's...is it possible to buy stocks under rrsp's? how is that done?

also, wtf is the point of a tfsa if you have to declare capitol gains made on stocks under a tfsa?

yeah you just need a registered brokerage account to buy stocks with your rrsp money.

TFSA - you don't pay taxes on any cap gains or dividends paid within the account.
The only drawback is that you are limited to $5000 a year of contribution.

Guys, looking at the current geopolitical environment with gas prices going into the $100/barrel territory and precious metals hitting new highs the perfect companies to ride would be companies that provide financing in exchange for future production.

Gold Wheaton was bought recently. Silver Wheaton is massive with zero risk other than silver prices remaining high. Look into Sandstorm Resources (run by the ex-CFO of Silver Wheaton) and Tanzania Royalty Exploration. The only problem and the big benefit of these types of companies is the fact you and I can't hang up a sign and pretend to dabble in this as it requires a huge capital outlay - you're providing mine financing in exchange for future production so you're dependent on rainmakers to put these deals together. It isn't the matter of finding a good resource but rather convincing companies to give up future production in the present environment. The guys behind these companies have no problems doing it. Gold Wheaton was a Guistra and Aquilina combination. Silver Wheaton was a Telfer company so the CEO of Sandstorm can be assumed to be tight with Telfer, giving the company access to big capital if required.

ya i spoke to my planner today and we discussed this

also if this could get clarified:

also, wtf is the point of a tfsa if you have to declare capitol gains made on stocks under a tfsa?

TFSA

No Impact on Income-Tested Benefits

Neither income earned in a TFSA nor withdrawals will affect your eligibility for federal income-tested benefits and credits, such as the Guaranteed Income Supplement and the Canada Child Tax Benefit. This will improve incentives for people with low and modest incomes to save.

http://www.tfsa.gc.ca/tfsapamphlet-eng.html

I'm not sure if you have to declare it on your tax return but any income within your account is tax free.

ya that's what i thought the whole point of it was...but if i do have to claim it, is it only once the money has been withdrawn? what if i sold the stock, but kept the money in the tfsa and used it buy another stock??

Basically from what I think it means is that whatever money you make in it, the gov't will not tax it. Even when you take it out, they won't tax it. But whatever the amount is, you can only contribute up that amount plus that years $5000.00 on the following year.

Ex.
2011

You started a TFSA and deposit the maximum $15000.

You buy CUU and doubled your money to $30000.

You take $7000 out to go to Vegas.

By year end you will have $23000.

The cap gain on your CUU investment will NOT be taxed.

The $23000 inside your account can be used for other investments and any gains will not be taxed. If you have losses, I don't think you can use it to offset your income taxes since the government doesn't tax you in the first place.

In 2012, you have the option to deposit $5000 for that year's contribution (2012). PLUS the $7000 you took out before.

Just make sure you don't contribute over the max amount or the government will penalize you.

Why is Gold Wheaton so different in price to Silver Wheaton?

ya i called the cra about another question after i posted that and they confirmed the same thing...money mades in the tfsa is infact tax free

for once, i like something the government has implemented


also, props to the cra having a pretty easily accesible phone in line for questions etc

no

but I bought a boatload of AMRN on the dip today :D
