Long the producers has been a far better trade. Earnings season starts now I suspect plenty of upside "surprises" especially in the pure nat gas plays. Dividend increases, share buy backs, debt reductions, earnings beats should all be in play. Whitecap got in early with a 38% dividend increase...

One month returns on some energy stocks I frequently own : BTE 30.9%, ATH 27.9%, CPG 16.7%, CVE 22.6%, ERF 27.1%, MEG 30.8%

Silver miners are a highly leveraged area that is difficult to trade but can generate huge returns in certain trends. I owned some BCM ( Silver miner with a project in Peru ) as a speculative play and it dropped a ton ( my worst holding ). Part of the drop came when the Peru election results...

Your choices of what to trade in a market trending up ( and some commodities trending up ) are a little peculiar at times but somewhat ok imo on a typical Friday. There were at least as many quality long opportunities as short ones so just picking short ones seems a little limited. And anything...

Anything associated with Trump goes to shit eventually. If there is anything in the world you should be shorting hard it's a Trump business.

Pretty muted though because it was specific to parts of the market not really broader markets . -5% on US indexes and -1% on TSX just wasn't anything to get excited about. The case for a broader market correction never really materialized but some on here were convinced.

That's really good news. They probably need a new career anyways maybe they can become traders.

Ok let's look at that. It's important to look at positions in terms of would you take the same trade today. And if you are objective and not trading emotionally the answer should be no. So why wait for 4700 that's likely going to occur now ? Your theme failed time to cut your losses. You know...

Mission accomplished.

Wow you really are dumb. Incredible that you've somehow twisted this so much in your mind that you want to export Florida's god awful Coved experience elsewhere.

KOLD showers again; I had a feeling we'd bounce from that $5 area.

Absolutely nothing wrong with it. Earnings have been growing and there are still many value plays. Sure, some aspects of the market may be overpriced. But you can't generalize that to the rest of the market. Especially in this market. Value stocks badly underperformed growth for several years...

The TSX set a new ATH today.

I've been posting about TSX stocks to buy in this area for a year running and they are huge winners in almost every case. In no way is it a "crowded trade" you don't understand the term I guess. I'm thinking you call anything that goes up a "crowded trade".

I've not really followed Uranium since Cameco crashed on the Japan tsunami and I was contemplating buying 2 sets of puts on it at the close the day before ( on an inkling it may drop ). Buying them would have made me 40-50K the next day. I'm not sure why the stock held up that day then crashed...

Monday is a key indictor for Copper, Silver, Gold moving forward. We could see continued strength, a drop in all three, or a continued reversal in just Gold. In recent weeks, Copper is super strong, Silver correlated with index moves ( but the stocks more bullish then the underlying ), and Gold...

Current percentage of Americans that aren't fully vaccinated is shockingly high given how much time has passed since the vaccines were available in the US. It was quite a while ago that resident dumbass "TreeFrogTrader" and ironically a few Covid Deniers were mocking Canada for our slow rollout...

That's what free markets do. Some businesses deserve to go under. Some new industries it's up to government to give people a boost to get through the early days when start up costs and training can be tough. Otherwise a country loses a lot of future business. Canada for example was useless at...

Covid wasn't great but one of the few positives that came out of it is that many people decided to reassess their career and pivot. We also got a boost in remote work as an accepted part of the corporate scene versus the old school attitudes that dominated management before. Remote work was...

Current Covid stats : Canada 1.7M cases, 28,482 deaths ( pop 38M ) Florida 3.7M cases, 57,712 deaths ( pop 21M ) Last year I said to poster "Tsing Tao" that I was comfortable with Canada's approach to Covid; his reply was to suggest that Covid numbers were seasonal and Canada's...
