Reasons for volatilityThis has been gone over ad nauseaum, but the following was an answer to my friends question...The question was:Hey buddy, any idea why CopperFox continues to slide even though their key guys are buying extra shares issued at 100% and their mineral deposits have identified higher deposits than initially thought.....I was assuming both of these as good signs for consumer confidence, but sales seem even higher with these announcements...am I missing something?The answer was: 1) Correct on all counts as those items are positive : insider buying, increased mineral deposit, and large partnership with Teck Cominco. Key points to consider : 2) Commodity prices including copper have come off 20-30% from their 2011 highs. All stocks that have exposure to their respective commodity are off anywhere from 25 to 50%. 3) Continued problems in Euroland have reduced global risk appetite over the last +3 months. The junior sector generally gets hit the hardest as those companies have no cash flow and are usually speculative in nature. Other factors as margin selling, selling losers to keep winners, etc can impact an investors decision on what stocks to keep or let go.Long and strong people!The end is nigh...
