Pailin's Trading Corner

meant to say 4 figs in 5 mins. LOL!

to make 5 figs in 5 mins, i'd need to buy 8x the volume and while I could do that, I don't wanna go out in a blaze of stupidityfied glory.

the forum is loading extremely slowly on my iPad and PC now...and earlier it didn't allow me to edit my posts.

kinda weird. like me i guess.

Hi Ho is so right...Zzzzzzz

Which is exactly what i'm gonna do now.

So goodnight all. TGIF soon! :)

JoeKa out

NCOT wassup! I see Atlee and JoeKa and all my favorite posters are in Pailins corner - Cool! Should have known... got lost on the new website a few times ...HUGE explosion of information going on. I don't even think Turd could have guessed how much content this website will eventually encompass or at least how quickly it would happen - wow!!! Hats off to Turd - what a rare human being this guy is! 

Any way just wanted to say hi - let you know I was eavesdropping...

Yep, good advice..... I have a very, very small ZSL position, which makes me interested without worrying about the outcome.

Sorry NCOT, JOEKA, nothing personal, you know that .

But , we must always and at all times remain our own

biggest critics, otherwise we soon become prey to 'easy come,

easy go' syndrome. So, even when things start to go really well

for us, that will be a time for maximum vigilance.

        Ok, as a punishment for me playing the fool earlier, I'll now 

briefly talk diamonds, an interesting and quite viable altern-

ative to the metals. Diamond miners have recently changed their slogan :

'Diamonds Are Not Forever'.  Quite simply, diamonds are formed

appx 200 miles below ground, under intense heat and pressure, then

transported to surface in a type of rock known as kimberlite.

Whats interesting is that only one in ten kimberlites are diamond-

iferous, and only one in ten of those are sufficiently diamondiferous

to have any chance of becoming economic mines. My general plan

here is to make people more aware of natural resources and their

extraction, because in a world of very fast depleting reserves and

simultaneous increase in affluence - creating greater  demand for all this

stuff- natural resources are going to be where the real action is, not in

Banks or Insurance stocks, I believe.  I also am a great believer in Canada

as a wonderful place to invest in terms of minimal political risk. You-tube

has some very interesting videos about Canadian diamond exploration, and

the main mines in current production are Ekati and Diavik. What will be very

interesting will be the potential price increases in these stones as the mines

steadily deplete, although there are small mining companies such as Peregrine

Diamonds and Olivut which do have some chance of establishing mines which

are economic. These are above averagely risky investments however, and although

the returns could be spectacular everything is on hold until the s and p makes its

intentions clear. The safer alternative may be to instead invest in real   stones.

Just wanted to stop in, I have been hanging out since before Turd #1 bottom, mostly read, not post.  But wanted to say, I will hang here mostly, have been following you guys and your trades.  I am both gold and silver, focus on producers for 2 years.    Thanks for your insights.
