RE:RE:RE:RE:Is cost cutting a primary objective of solar industry?Maybe you should transfer your holdings to different brokerage.Is your account TFSA?I'm with Scotia tfsa only where my i have my company shares I work for . I'm getting them at 15%discount and pays dividend.PBH on tsx.Scotia sucks don't go there their 25$ fee is ridiculous.My other account I have is with Virtual Brokers TFSA and margin.They fees are very low.One day I try to buy HVI in my TFSA withVB account so I end uo having short position and at that time HVI was going higher.Took me couple days on the phone and few emails to cancel that trade.How you can end up having short position in TFSA?At this time VB is doing better you should consider transfering your holdings they my pay transfer fee.
you're very welcome krispin. at one time I wasn't even willing to touch solar stocks that is until natcore came along and had and still has me believing although it is big time in my dog house. Nevertheless, out of a lot of the junior solar companies that I know of it has survived the follies others did not. For example, solar 3d hot at one time got mixed up in bad dealings it was out of Alberta from my recollection as did Qsloar which absconded--lost $458.05 on that one which was also based in Alberta. Solars are capital intense and as you can see take some time to do very much, but from the very beginning I was so impressed with this company I openly stated it can make $300/share--if First Solar could do it why not us? I still believe blue sky potentials are possible providing this company successfully gets it done but to date it has failed to launch. There are other reasons that this is in my dog house--rightly or wrongly, but I chose to hold onto my shares here where I never went less than 8800. There was one point when DHX Media was on the venture and trading at .75 I was thinking to leverage against this one, do a one to one swap for 1,000 shares never did it--now that is trading more than 10 times this one in all the years that went by. Then there was another sphere 3d I had a feeling that would hit it big and I thought because management kept saying close to commercializing I still held my shares here--that one did hit it big made it on the Nasdaq and traded as high as near $20 it is down to $2.67 right now but has something out and consumable--I was again looking to do a 1-1 swap for 1,000 shares at that point I had 9800 Natcore shares and still during all this time this just can't seem to get it done. The only somewhat smart thing I did was trade some of my Natcore for Espial shares which I stupidly let go for juniors including to rebuy back here--this still has nothing and Espial traded as high as $4 plus dollars now at $2.45 but has something and what can I say for this one? Where is it???!!! But what really bothers me is that when this company had private placements and there are loyal long term shareholders one could only participate if they were able to fork over $25,000 which my whole investment portfolio didn't even equal that even at the best of times (max was around $21,000 a lot had to do with Natcore trading at a $1.00 plus--which hasn't for quite some time--because of again not having anything out). Why am I angry, a company that I didn't nearly have anywhere as many shares offered me on two separate occasions to participate in a pp (.20 and .25) which by choice I turned down. Ideally, they were looking for $1,000 minimum but would have accepted any amounts to keep their loyal shareholders happy (Nsp). To be fair to this company I was offered a chance a few times to have tickets to the New Orleans trade conventions valued at around $1,000 (3 day admission), but regardless, it would do very little for me as I neither have the money nor the health to otherwise attend. I would have preferred that this company be mindful of those who have been loyal and who feel they are getting burnt at retail to give them the chance at the pp's regardless of what they are able to invest! In any case, because I believe this still has excellent potential I will be doing my best to hold as many of my 10k as possible but I have factored in selling 200 shares by this time next year if we haven't successfully commercialized--my brokerage changed requirements and I am forced to trade unless I have 15k plus in assets but I will not ruthlessly cut equities unless they are really badly trading--this one unlike another I have is trading actually fairly well for not having anything out, the other ibc advanced alloys (working alongside with Lockheed Martin) is trading very poorly and deserves so much more--if it had this company's hype/pull that would have been awesome. And because of it trading badly most likely being manipulated to where it will inevitably have a low buyout offer I will trade that one a little more aggressively only because of my trade requirements otherwise I would just simply keep holding--have 11,800 over there. If you are looking for juniors and want to ride the wave keep an eye on nsp (naturally splendid--it is in the marijuana sphere but it is hemp/cbd), the other one which is being really well talked about is spectra seven but that is actually now on the Toronto main sev--initially a venture company. I somewhat like contagious gamings my issue with the company is bad transparency from my perspective took a real back side kicking (.62 all the way to right now around .13) I had seen a possible Amaya in the making with that one but right now it sure doesn't feel like it (cns). The other company which I seem to like is ryu apparels. They are about to launch (high of .87 low of around .18--last around .285) People are hoping it will be the next Lululemon--that is pretty lofty expectations. I think it should be able to do at least $2.00 within a couple years whether it does more is hard to say--although I factor it should be trading .50 or better after the launch which will be the week after the coming one (company planning to open its flagship shop in Vancouver on November 15). There are other interesting ones like pyrogensis (pyr), arht media which is human holograms (art) both are around .25 and which have good long term potential. No doubt, a good energy stock will always have enormous payout potential and that is the reason why I am really hesitant to dump shares here, I respect that possibility and like you looking for my longshots to finally payout. Have a fantastic rest of your weekend. May all health, wealth, happiness, and successes be your's and your family's as well as to everyone here. glta (ps transgaming tng may be a good buy and hold at .04-.05)[/quote]
