RE:To be Fair..............why I ask is I would like to see a few of your picks and the timing couldn't be better because the market is pulling ... I have my eyes on a few plays and so many stocks that went from pennies to a dollar are breaking down.. the reason isnt because they are good or bad but because market makers see an opportunity.. when you look at a chart like SPA the climb last Jun/Jul in these plays often brought on by a Sprott PP and the pop in gold when Berkshire jumper in caused a lot of uephoria.. was it warranted?? thats the question... I feel stocks got ahead of them selves in many situations.. the argument is they were beaten up and underpriced.. that to is a fair argument also with all the ridinkulous short selling.. BUT the issue we have in these cases is the MM sees little to no support on these charts and they were flagging.. from a TA perspective a flag on a chart spells disaster down the road.... So as much as I am tempted to bite the bullet and get into a few large postions I am hesitant..... AMK I timed it well.. so different story but I feel other opportunities are arriving .. of course there is always the but side and speaking about thet but is when Buffet sold gold last week. Is it because even Warren makes bad trades based upon emotion or is Gold truly breaking down for a while again.. I am currently a Gold bull and I feel we see 2100 with the next crisis, but perhaps that isnt until next fall.. no one knows.. what I do know is based upon solid DD is that it's far safer to hold solid companies with proven resources over a lot of hype.. Far easier to sleep at night when the gold is in the ground and the fundamentals support the share price.... hope this helps explain my train of thought.. I am sitting on a high cash postion at present and look forward to some top picks...
