Adam, thanks, have been investing in warrants for some time. My 2 favorite are NGD that expire 2017, a great longer call on gold, and SAND 2015 warrants. I think that warrants should be exercised at least 6 month before expiry, unless you want to exercise. As a point I got PRE warrants, and the company wanted to retire thee warrants, and gave us a even lower entry price to sweeten the pot.

Gotrocks, I cannot wait for the shit to hit the fan, when people find out what oybamacare is.they will have no idea what hit them. I think this is the best thing that happened to the Canadian health care system . When doctors find out what it means financially, the senior doctors will retire, and young one will head north to Canada. It is much more difficult to sue a doctor in Canada, and malpractice insurance is a pittance.wait until you find out the bean counters control the healthcare system. Will not be pretty.

Joseph, Carlos , this is indeed a game changer. I would not trust any EZ bank. They have the audacity to announce this, and hope nobody notices. If I was in the EZ, I would rush to precious metals, and bury them, and get a gun. This will truly get ugly before it is over. By the way, I do not think this is over in Cyprus , as I think the Russians will get their pound of flesh. Who do you think provides them with gas? We may yet see some people in the EZ freezing in the dark before this is over
So, being in the market for three years makes you an expert, and gives you enough confidence to advise others. A word of advice the market can be a cruel task master to the ignorant. You are not in school and get no second chances or appeals to teachers to change outcomes.
I hope you initiate a position, as the only real way to learn is to suffer some pain, and not just cheer from the sidelines.
Oh, and by the way, if you are right you will be aptly rewarded for your risk.

Tom, that is very good information. Although I follow you for information, I follow that up with technical data. What I mean is since 2013 the have been golden crosses in the charts of the 10 and 30 year bonds, that is bond bull market is over. It could of course reverse itself, but until it does, it confirms your data. Like you I feel the Cyprus situation is crossing the Rubicon. I look forward to more information and opinion to follow this train wreck

Buyandhold, well said, could not agree with you more. Also mutual funds cannot be contrarian,they need to follow the heard. So as the market goes up, they need to get in so as not to be left behind, even if it goes against their strategy. On the down side, when they go down, their explanation is at least I am not doing any worse than anybody else. They need consensus, more than success. They can never be bearish,because of institutional interests, and if they are bearish,and not successful, the manger will lose his job. If you are bullish and wrong, you can say so was everybody else. For the uninitiated who want to see how Wall Street really runs I highly recommend the book " Liars Poker" by the same Michael Lewis

So, if it is no big deal if Cyprus leaves the EZ, why not Greece? I think the confiscation of depositors funds is like crossing the Rubicon, there will be no going back. Of course they are going to say it is a one time thing, do you expect them to tell Greeks they are next. Surely the Greeks will be reading the tea leafs.Do you not expect a run on Greek banks, not publicized by the media due to contagion?

So, if this is not about economics and banking, but a geopolitical play against the Russian, you may want to pick an other adversary, as it is the same Russian oligarchs who supply gas to the EZ. Do you really want to make these folks angry at you? Putin is not oybama, he is known to get even with his adversaries.
A Safe And A Shotgun, Or Public Sector Banks? The Battle Of Cyprus [View article]
Tom, that is what separates the Canadian banks from the American banks. Canadian bankers are not smarter or more prudent than other bankers, but enforced regulations by governments,( note this includes both major parties in Canada), prevented them from acting out. Note, the outcry this week in Canada from the free market, when an insurance company went against government policy to keep or raise mortgage rates, and tried to lower them THEY GOT A CALL FROM THE MINISTER OF FINANCE, TO GET IN LINE. The bankers can get away with malfeasance, as long as regulators and politicians are lax in applying laws
Venus...........no ...no ...no....not rigged..........manipu... ... get with the program The manipulation is in derivatives to price commodities in the COMEX,. where they make and change all the rules as they seem fit.
