Clubs put some time into helping us get to know
him/her and I personally enjoyed the read - like a friendly,
casual conversation (similar to David & Phyllis' writing
styles) - very comfortable, very nice - wish I had the knack (always in such
a darn hurry).
I didn't respond because I don't trade over
such short periods (unless unspeakable things happen - ugh!).
Good to see you're still watching the ebb
and flow Woody.
Regards,
Cris

Hello Investors. I enjoy all your
technical jargon's but for me nothing is calculated I normally invest to be
in and out of a stock before money changes hands (within 3 days) except
for a few that I have no other reason to keep except a interesting story
through an announcement or sentimental stupidity .....................
I was once an employee of Wrightson NMA Ltd in 1965 to 1973, They had a
huge turnover of staff those days and paid peanuts, but that was not bad as
it gave young men like me and women a chance to control huge
rural accounts whether it was in the motor trade, or retail through Hay
Wrights or through the Rural Stock Firm and Finance Company. My biggest
disappointment was when WRI sold the rural fiance arm of there business.
In the last 5 years I have invested in and out of WRI. I brought into
WRI prior to me learning that people trade shares to make money but more of
a fantasy that WRI would deliver me back to prosperity through being a
shareholder rather than the cheap labour unit. I paid 40 cents per share
for 180,000 shares and nothing happened 35 / 41 cents for months and lost
all interest in my investment. One day in 2001 I noticed in the paper
that WRI was at $1.00 ... I had promised myself I would sell if WRI
if it reached $1.09 with no reason at all except that I could extend the
house or buy a car. It did and jokingly said to my broker I will buy
back at 99 cents. It did drop back within a few weeks and I purchased
again and sold again at $1.18. I was in the money! My broker kept
saying to me buy WRI again but next time you will have to pay at least
$1.05. Reluctantly I paid $1.04 and to watch them fall to $1.01 for a
number of days was a bit wrenching. They were off again and my limit was
to be out at $1.20. I thought it was not going to happen but it did
the day after I sold for $1.19. I was sold on WRI and back in at
$1.14, watched them go below $1.10 then a remarkable recovery to $1.35
and I was out. I have not been there since. We don't have the
extensions on the house or a new car. WRI is one of a few stocks I have
made money on through gut instinct and wish the company a good fruitful
future. Some stocks I have kept and are doing ok are 1) PCL paid 1
cent 2) LKO paid 2 cents 3) AIM paid 3.5 cents 4) KLS paid 2
cents 5)VPE paid 1.4 cents Some stocks I have that are not doing
ok 1) RMI Paid 0.008 cents 2) RMG paid 4.3 cents 3)NTG paid 7.5
cents 4)BPT paid 37 cents how ever at least BPT pay a divi I have one
KIWI which is a real no no and do not even want to tell you about it except
that it is down 60% on purchase I will most likely finish up owning the
company if I don't watch myself ............ like hell ! The rest at the
moment are near break even point some Kiwi some AU.......... which is cool
! Biggest problem is holding onto cash for quick buy
and sell's. Interested to know if any other investors trade
like myself !
Investing is fun although I must say I am a
little more wrinkled and but also wealthier than I was
in 1998. Cheers Clubs
