On this site there are different levels of ability: some trying to learn from the more experienced, and those more learned kindly offering help. That is what a community is. This community is one of the best for one person informing, helping, correcting, listening to one another. I, for one, am proud of the 'Cara Community' and proud to be part of a true community where inter-dependence, inter-action, and honest, trust-worthy dialogue, with humility, exists. We are all in this together.
I, and our family, too wish your daughter a speedy recovery. Our Cara 'family's' thoughts and prayers are also with you, your wife, daughter and the rest of your family.

Several days ago someone asked what miners people are watching/have bought. For my money I've taken down slw (Bill's) and the rest are from Otto -- try.v; fvi.v; dmm.tsx; and dib.v. I'm planning on holding them for a while scaling out as/if they move higher so I'm playing with the casino's money.
DYODD please,
s
EDIT - I forgot to mention when I bought the above: SLW - a long term hold from way back; try and fvi a month ago and dmm about 2 months ago. You can see I'm kinda a platapus trader--sort of a combo of fundies and tech and lean hard on those I trust.
Luggie, Jock - If investing/trading S. America you would be well advised to read 'Otto' on IKN News (http://incakolanews.blogspot.com/). He is, in my opinion, the Bill Cara of mining stocks -- relentless, careful, experienced, fundamentally based, a person of integrity and great honesty. He, like Bill, can be trusted -- unlike so many in the mining casino (esp. those on the tsx.v). He focuses on those in S. America most of which are listed either on the tsx.v or the aussie markets. For my money, if Otto doesn't like it, I don't go near it. fwiw.

Bev- Just read Denninger's comments and and IF he's right, or near correct,I'm now asking WWBD (What would Bill do)? Any thoughts from yourself or others?

all saying the S&P 'ahead of itself"; the "need for a strong dollar" and Bev's charts...plus the inverse relationship between gold and the dollar...I would think we should listen...I am. Selling most of my slw and dmm...just keeping a place holder in each.

I'm serious Bev...I do appreciate and value your input..and social conscience. Sooo many more deserving that Obama for the prize and you've pointed out one. Thanks.

MtnGnTx- Don't crawl under your rock just yet...;)
Thanks for your observations, now as always. Your post raises some questions/observations:
1. What are the primary sources for your information? Is there a URL we can look at? You said it was "inside information" and perhaps because of that confidential so I will understand if you are unable to provide the primary source(s).
2. I think it naive to think that when the Fed is disbanded we will remove the "parasite". No disrespect intended at all...just my opinion. While the 'Fed parasite' may be removed (if it ever is), there will be other more invasive, more destructive, less visible parasites emerge. To follow your analogy, there may be more of a new, more deadly species of parasite appear rather than just a small genetic mutation.
3. Re flu 'pandemic'- My wife, a very accomplished Health Services Research Scientist (MD, SM), agrees whole heartedly with you. She is appalled at what is happening, the rate of speed decisions like this are being made and the "evidence" given for these decisions. Makes me wonder what drug company is paying what lobbyist(s) and politician how much.
Sorry to be so cynical but I'd rather be inquiring well beyond and much deeper than what the 'sheeple's' info is. After all, isn't that part of Bill's message? Delve deeper; think for yourself; try to get a larger view and attempt as far as possible to see the linkages? Thanks Bill. (And correct me if I'm off base here.)
s
NYU- My thinking is that we could see a spurt into the end of month as the fund managers try to tweak their records and get their bonuses increased. After that I haven't a clue but with the info in Bill's WIR (especially the data vs. hope hype) I am expecting reality to bite in the last quarter, and am positioning myself accordingly. Now 75% cash.

Just received this notice and thought it may help those planning to attend the Bahamas 2010 Conference. The site: http://www.westjet.com/guest/en/travelOffers/seatS....
