TXP looks sort of similar to SDX, Lauders?
Candidate for an oily puppy.
Like the CEO's style.
Malcy doesn't promote it in the same way he does SDX.

BVXP inching back slowly from the false comparison. No news expected in the short term.
Maybe the price will stay depressed until my Sept. income!

SDX news is promising.
Will look at Touchstone, Lauders. A litter of oily puppies perhaps.

The gene testing companies have been making hay for over a decade based on pseudo-arguments relating to health and heredity.
The multiple gene nature of characteristics is the problem.
I seem to remember that after about five or six generations heredity becomes a grey mix and there are very, very few diseases that are a function of a single gene.
Intelligence is the biggest pseudo of all.

Doesn't mean the companies won't get rich, just don't let it be with your money!

Health warning - opinion based on my failing memory.

My garden looks awful. Not been given any attention for weeks.
I look out of the window in horror.

Looks like being a quiet day and the weather's perfect for gardening. But things tend to go berserk when I get out in the garden...

Yes, and can be affected by what some clown politician says the other side of the world

Lauders

Commodity markets, and therefore commodity stocks have that added dimension of a sophisticated built in trading operation, where 'barrow boys' are able to buy/sell large multiple contracts for future delivery of goods. Their actions can have a disconnect from the underlying value of the asset. They have no interest in delivery of the goods, they just want to make a market to gain a margin. A very small percentage on tens or hundreds of millions of units is big money.
Oil is bought/sold many times before final delivery, and you do wonder about the difference between the price paid by the purchaser in relation to the price received by the seller.
Then there is the hedges that each puts in place to safeguard their positions, as many companies use to eliminate the risk of forex movements created by timing differences when buying/selling normal goods.
it seems crazy to me that tankers full of oil can be held offshore for weeks, waiting for oil prices to increase. When enough supply is kept from the market then the price goes up. Does that fact, in itself, create a false market, or is that just a part of making the market?
Just something that we live with on a daily basis.

A couple of my comparison updates:

1) MSLH - Have to say I am very happy about the reaction to the results released yesterday! Seems things are going well despite the bad weather at the start of the year. Last two months have shown 21% increase in revenue.

2) HOC - I had to sell earlier in the year to fund a property purchase and they haven't performed as well as I would have wished. Interim results seemed pretty good to me and I think that if gold can come back into favour towrads year end HOC are a compelling buy at the moment. Trouble is, as I have found out over the years holding HOC, you never know what is happening in the gold/silver market and there are too many things going on with comex that the normal investor has little chance understanding and no chance influencing.

Hi Hazl, we are not all bad all the time on this thread ;)
One of the only true decent threads I have found on the site.
I think we have some of the same stocks. INFA most recent.
Welcome back and look fwd to your input regarding INFA where I recently joined you in my first two tranches. Enormous potential. The chart alone makes it the buy of the yr, a fabulous bowl forming
On the 5 yr chart with a multi multi bag potential in the coming few yrs.
Downside much reduced this last few mths
I'll pass on PRSM for now although the boat has sailed there

Sorry,I don't come on this thread very often but noticed your reference Janeann and thank you, for acknowledging my input....it makes a refreshing change.
People are quick to be negative on these boards.

Thank goodness for MODFORM,too,who is capable of thinking out of the box,being creative might just give you the edge in this game if it is getting ahead of the next person,and recognising something that other's can't.

Never before have I had a share that so many people would like to see go down,so they can say I told you so!
Well guess what, it is already a winner what ever happens next.
Again anyone could be forgiven for taking some off the table as things look a bit shaky generally in the market as the directors sell some.
I certainly don't have as many as I did but have loved being a part of it's exciting journey!.
Things go in fashions ....even dare I say it FEVR might be out of fashion one day!
Then again we all make mistakes APAD still has FARN to remember.... we are all human.
I wish everyone well on their investments.
My latest is INFA!

Watching CNBC and the Dow bounce should be enough to convince one of the futility of following macro trends and rumours.
Yoodles in the market, while sheep in credulity, are wolves for conformity.

No more income to spend until september.

I would like for July to return or for September to arrive. I think Relative Strength has plunged by 40 or more pts for all of my major holdings. MAB1 symptomatic -
