Is it Mitsubishi acumulating again or something different? There's been a nice run up in AAUK share price over the recent weeks as well. Any relationship you see between the run ups (i.e. is it specific interest in Pebble, general interest in metals miners, or something else)? Peter:

Get out while you still can. It's worse than drugs-lol Seriously, I mean don't bid the stock up and up. It may not be my recommendation driving it up but if it was, I sooner see people try to bid for it near where I recommended it. Has has been a big seller so why give them more money. For today 1.10 or so is fine and if you don't get stock in a day then move up and so on until you do. The only problem with this strategy is a bid comes for the company or buying overwhelmed selling and it's not just me. John New at this game? Get out while you still can. It’s worse than drugs-lol

In the event you or anyone else is interested, here is a summary of my experiences. THE GOOD: Fast efficient cheap trading US or Canadian stocks. Essentially no extra cost for splitting your trade in 2 or 3 parts - something I really like to do. THE BAD Complicated system - as Roger said, bit of a learning curve. Constant updates of their system requiring downloading - more of a nuisance than a real problem. Occasional flakyness, especially just after a new update. Real-time charts can be flaky - works well some days, not so well others. You have to pay for TSX and Venture real-time quotes. THE UGLY Opening, closing or transferring accounts is amazingly, even ridiculously difficult. I have a personal and a corporate account. I have been trying to close the corporate account for the last 3 years. I was able to get the money out, but the empty account never goes away - perhaps it's one of those ghosts that Pravda talks about (lol). OVERALL For Canadians, it is probably the best option for active traders - Most Canadian brokers are cumbersome and expensive. For Americans wanting to trade Canadian stocks, it's pretty good.

Whether the post from Ronnie D about KMK has validity or not, no one should make any investment decision based on it. There's nothing to read between the lines. I fully stand behind what I've said about KMK but I don't want this blog to become a place for rumor mongering. Remember when speculating/gambling, you must be prepared to lose part or all of your capital. Everyone!!!!

I love Scottrade for US stocks but I agree the pink sheets leave something to be desired and that's what I have been using for the Canadian stocks. I then use Stockhouse to gather any information since Yahoo finance is non-existant on Canadian stocks. Roger, thanks so much for the info on Interactive.

The guy is a clown and has been wrong for years. Despite being wrong again he once again calls the latest rally a fluke in today's piece. He must have pictures of the Kitco management because that has to be the only reason they keep him. In regards to KMK, the story is a very large Asian mining company made them a feeler offer that KMK turned down. I have confirmed that KMK has hired an investment banker (BMO) and with the poison pill request, KMK management is preparing for a takeover bid. Reading between the lines of your recommendation, I have to believe you picked up the same vibes from them. Thanks for all the hard work. I look forward to seeing you at the Vancouver Show.
