BTT LOADING ZONE,,,,

it has fomed a nice base here & while I'm down overall, i see alot of potential for massive returns,,,

You're seeing the NEW power of foreign money, US companies will be snatched up, Banks as well, I suspect the Arab interest will take out Citi in the near future, they just have too much money & they want hard assets(even underperforming ones)...Expect miniers to get taken out (RTP & BHP will be the big boys taking smaller ones out)...btw
GOLD is 973
Silver 19.15

Haynesville Shale Play May Be Fastest-Growing To Date-Analyst
Last update: 7/14/2008 1:58:48 PM
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--The Haynesville Shale, a natural gas reservoir in northern Louisiana and eastern Texas, has strong potential to become the fastest-growing shale play to date in the continental U.S., energy advisory firm Wood Mackenzie said in a report Monday.
Haynesville production could surpass current output from Texas' Barnett shale, another major shale deposit, within five years, said Robert Clarke, an upstream analyst for Wood Mackenzie. Unconstrained supply from Haynesville could reach 4 billion cubic feet a day in 2014, according to Wood Mackenzie's model.
Production from the Barnett shale has grown from 1.3 bcf/d to 3.8 bcf/d over the past three years. Using knowledge gleaned from drilling at Barnett and other shale plays, gas producers should be able to ramp up production at Haynesville in short order, Clarke said.
"Unlike the Barnett and Fayetteville, Haynesville should not require thousands of successful wells to surpass production of 1 bcf/d," he said.
Early horizontal wells at Haynesville have flowed at rates of 8 million to 16.8 million cubic feet a day.
But pipeline constraints could make it difficult for producers to bring Haynesville gas to market. Current infrastructure can absorb only 1 bcf/d of gas from the reservoir.
"With this limited takeaway capacity in the short term, we expect operators will face fierce competition to get their gas to market as pipeline constraints emerge," Clarke said.
The three largest Haynesville producers are Chesapeake Energy Corp. (CHK), Petrohawk Energy Corp. (HK), and a joint venture between EnCana Corp. (ECA) and Shell (RDSB).

http://finance.yahoo.com/banking-budgeting/article/105391/Analysts-Say-More-Banks-Will-Fail

banks will fall like dominoes...
& out the murkiness a few will rise.
So far i pegged the fall of Lehman & Merill, American Express & Bank of America will get further beaten as credit card defaults increase over the year....the main reason Visa & MC are not moving is that they are so tied into the financial system, & that system is failing...

Some banks will get scooped up, those companies with cash will be buyers (RBC bank, TD bank, HSBC, BArlays) they will see opportunity in all the haziness...

BTT did nice today,,,+ 28%...

Sayso...go to Yahoo! Finance and enter BTT.V. BTT is a Canadian play listed on the Toronto exchange. If you want to purchase from Scottrade you have to call and talk to a broker & they make the transaction for you for $27. I believe the symbol for BTT on Scott is BTT.CA. Peace

 

[offwork]

Not sure of the date on this release...

CBC National News report today*saying that the new coal area should boom and that this was the biggest coal discovery in Canada in 40-50 years.All this while Kaiser, Pescod (Canaccord) and the Coffin Brothers all stating that BTT is the stock of their choice. I think we are going to see a significant increase in share price here to a level more deserving of the stock's potential.

Morning peoplez.

I'm reading through the Washington Mutual thread abut the impending run on tha bank...

Just heard the news from GM...I must say thats very fucked up that they're cutting dividends and healthcare on employees over 65. And I drive a Chevy too. Fuck em.

 

[offwork]

WTF!!! GM suspends dividend but thats nothing compared to them snatching Healthcare from from salaried workers and retirees over 65! How the fuck you take a old head healthcare shit! Thanks for the 30+ years of hard work now go to the free clinic and die. Crazy shit is these companies spend millions a year on luxury skyboxes and shit for sporting events but wont even think about giving that up...
Its getting ugly out here.

YOu seems suprised by this...this is how it works man, sharholder value is #1 priority, particulatly preffered shareholders, they could care less bout the common, employees are just that employees they are a dime a dozen & replaceable & able to be steped on, you become an employee expect to get f'ed - can't see it any other way, anytime you think a co wil look out for you --you are making the mistake,..expendible- employees have been for all time, will be forever..

btw , the person askign about BTT, you can buy the pink sheet tracking issue its ticker is BITTF.pk
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=BITTF.PK
that way you dont have to get laced w/ a fee like someone did, if you can buy pinksheet stocks you can buy the tracking stock in the US for BTT....

Im not surprised but me being a common man it does piss me off! I seen how ill it gets. I remember when AT&T let go thousands of employees and told lots of them they could stay on payroll for six more months if they trained thier cheaper wage earning replacements. When I make it to the other side of that whip I wonder how I will act...

Im going to checkout that BTT ticker you dropped. If I find out these fools at Scottrade beat me for $17 I will be credited or going to another broker. When I buy something for .99 I want my change!

yea if you can buy a pink sheet stock there is NO need to get the actual issue on the Canadian venture exchange, these tracking stocks are there for you to purchase & what happens is they actually transact the trade in the forighn exchange that is why you will never see a quote until 5pm on BITTF as it will only show settlement at the end of the day. Mind you they are different issues, BTT & BITTF,you bought BTT on the Venture Exchange in Canada, you could have quivalently bought BITTF on the uS pink sheet market...........both are the same & yet different lol...

I feel for the common folks as well man, but corporations are what control people, they are the new enslavement - only thing is most do not see it...they say the greatest way to imprison a man is to let him think he is free.. sad really,,,but true

Good Look on the information offwork, preciate it

 

[KILLA DANCH]

I just dumped PAL fuggit! Po what do you think of the Silver mining companies like SLW? I hear the outlook for silver is gravy

 

[popozudalvr]

Silver will likely outperform most PMs, there aren't too many Silver majors, SLW/PAAS so they are going to be good bets ...


See ANR got taken out, by CLF ...stock shot up +20%, options shooting up over 1000% (105s ANR up 2,000%) Like MT(mittal) before it, many steel companies are trying to get a lock on Coal companies before coal becomes a cost burden to them,,,i'd think more buyouts on coals co's will come.

 

[Privy]

Killa I got in on SLW @ 13.72. Its been up over the last few weeks but stays within 15. I want it to run but maybe next week if silver goes up to 19 or 20 again. Financials and other stocks rallied while oil and commodities went down. I'm in the red but was expecting this with so many earning reports coming out this week.

The Take Over,,,

there is no sacred US company, & by most means some are going to look chaep to foreign big boys...what will get interesting is when more than 50% of your daily goods & services are from foreign companies..

follow the money....

this ANT/CLF is a sign of things to come, a few weeks back Mittal(MT) bought out a coal company, steel companies need that coal & well they will pay for it hansomely..

Question is who is next?PCX/JRCC/MEE

i never knew it was 50% thats wild when you think about it, but with that said shouldnt we have 50% of our long positions in those companies providing services here? PCX/JRCC/MEE? what was the formula that put them where they are is the question? do we see anyone makes those kinds of moves now

AND DID YOU See COINZ dip to 2.0x i got a email and was liek DAAAAAAAAMN

 

[KILLA DANCH]

I'm looking at some semi long positions like:

Toyota TM - I'm thinking hybrid leader

Hecla Mining HL - they are "planning" to double production by end of 09

WMB Williams Companies - Cramer Pick - Po what you think of this one?

SE Spectra Energy

 

[Privy]

Do y'all think what happened today was just a technical bounce? Also given the enforcement against naked short selling...

 

[YungDHurt]

I'm clearing out everything that's green, holding onto everything red (PAL, COIN/Z) and doing put options on everything else till this shit clears up...it's getting crazy!

 

[KILLA DANCH]

I just got in on SLW and WMB

 

[456.North.side]

Do y'all think what happened today was just a technical bounce? Also given the enforcement against naked short selling...

what i heard was a few major banks had good numbers and oil went down, that alone was enough to rebound a bit. Now i cant committ on how long it will last but thats what i read

 

[popozudalvr]

A dow rally, yes, a false financial rally!! look at the charts of any financial on the way down they offer bounces, there is nothing to support then not going again lower, has the economy changed? are you running to drop your assets in a bank? you looking for a mortgage?? the sector is weak, will be weak for a while,,,I think about 50-100 banks (small,medium.large) all have to fall to call it a bottom, the sub prime will soon get mixed in with credit card defaults(look out below on AXP & BAC) Consolidation is when this sector tightens up & reshapes...have to watch as forign banks go shopping...

WMB i'm not at all familiar with but i know its a nat gas co & i think that is a good sector, HK/CHk/GDP,,,read post 1407 for an insight into these bad boys...

 

[offwork]

Man Im feeling risky than a muthafucka. Maybe its the heat...maybe its the red Im seeing. I got hammered by COIN but I know how coin swings so I'll let it do what it do. But at the moment Im feeling like betting on something "Highly Speculative". BTT most likely. Make me or break me. No risk no reward...

POT hurt my feelings today. I'm sure its down so much due to shorts and people fleeing to financials, but I got in at 217.81 its sitting at 209.05 after hours. I'm sure financials will come off their highs next week and I hope these will rally like hell.

Seems like the way to make money in this volatile market is to play on earnings...no short or long positions...

 

[456.North.side]

i took a look at coinz today it 2.60 at one point I always think if I would have had it would i have staggered my trades out @ 1., 20 and 30% but in the small numbers the commissions kill ya, but if I would have had is it optionsexpress with the 10 free trades then cool but other wise im not sure i would have done it right

I use Scottrade. And I know the feeling man. Seems like things dont go up until you sell or goes down the minute you buy. If I could time it just right Id be trading on a laptop on Miami Beach...but we are as close as we gonna get right here on this thread. My pain tolerance is high but you are correct take that money when you see that money. Thanks for the report dates. If AGU sees the $80's again Im in. Even Cramer doesnt believe the Rally and is big natural gas...sorry PoPo,Cramer strikes again

what are you hurting about? it will be back up, this move to financials was weak, JPM posted a 50% profit drop & they took the stock higher, garbage,,,POT & the ags will get up soon enough, oil & commos took a hit but this is the eb & flow of this market, give it time, allow for patience & you'll see where POT & the AG gaints (CANPOTEX) are when the time comes..
