I never see anyone here talking about the markets, or giving tips, or any of that. Does it ever happen? Is it allowed?

It used to, but since the blow up of 2000-2001 there is not much interest. One can only say diversify and rebalance so many times before people start to tune out.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.

I just started in it.
my goal is to just make bits here and there over time, hopefully selling when the stock makes me enough that i've paid off my commision.
right now i have my eye on Tucows on the TSX. If I had the chance I woulda bought in yesterday and i'd be up 20% today. Oh well.Resident Filipina Lady Boy Expert.Comment

Speculating on stocks short term (weeks or even months) is not too different from gambling in a Casino. You can get lucky from time to time, but the long term rate of return is less than 1 (because of the trading commissions).“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.

i guess i'm a gambler.
I wouldn't be looking at something as risky as tucows if i didnt know it for so long and have high hopes for it tho.
anyone else have an opinion on it? or other suggestable stocks?Resident Filipina Lady Boy Expert.Comment

You could try KMP. I think they will profit from rising energy prices and they have a very high yield.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.

I have stayed balanced and in energy mainly for most of the past year. I am up quite a bit. heck I think I gained over 20% in the alst 6 months
Unfortunately most of my best information (about smaller companies where you can make a lot quickly) is insider stuff that I can't use. Heck I have even been precluded from investing in a couple of companies where I didn't actually know any insider stuff (our law firm maintains a list of precluded investments which I have to check before investing in an individual stock)You don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

Well, for Canadians, here's my surprise pick: Domtar. Yes, Domtar.
Softwood, a currently crappy p & p business, and some other miscelleneous 'wood' related products.
You might think, wtf?, but they are undervalued, a big permanent company, focussing on their core profitable business.
Also, they WILL (IMHO) get a government aid package/restructuring dealy so buy now before the restructuring.
They pay "OK" dividends. If you're lucky it could go as low as $8.00 (Lucky for buyers that is)."Wait a minute..this isn''t FAUX dive, it's just a DIVE!"

I have most of my money with them too.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”
