What a Fu#$ing day

What the $%#@ is up with this weather. I thought my radio was broken this morning when they said minus 26 degrees. But once I got outside, I'm pretty sure they were right. Then more snow tonight uggggggg!!!!!! Of course I heard the radio after the smoke detector went off for no reason and I got up to see what the heck was going on. Beeped a couple times and then stopped and no sign of smoke so I figured it was a glitch. Went to work and then to the offsite office for the afternoon and then when I left late to come home the SRS light never turned off in the car all the way home while battling people who decided they dont need snow tires and are slipping around. Off to the dealer tomorrow to get them to read the code in the computer to find out why the light is on. Oh but wait its not over yet. Get home and get out of the car in the garage and hear a buzzing noise coming from the house. The smoke alarm is going off and George is hiding in the basement trying to get away from it. God knows for how many hours its been screaming at the cat. So I have ripped both them off the ceiling and cleaned them out with compressed air and haven't heard them since. Will still have to test them to make sure they go off when they are supposed to though. The day isn't over yet still have to send off smoke signals, do laundry, eat din's and shovel the snow again so who knows what else will go wrong.

Update!!!

Oh great there's a heavy snowfall warning for tonight for the interior. Expecting 10cm of snow by tomorrow morning.

Opposable thumbs are important

In case you ever had any doubt, loosing use of just one thumb can make life difficult. Didn't realise how much until trying to do up buttons after slicing the tip of my left thumb. Nice clean cut no need for stitches but enought to remind you when you hit it or try to put any pressure on it.

If thats what seporates us from ape's, I guess that means I'm half ape for a while until the thumb is all better. Anyone have a bananna?

Where did summer go?

What the $%# is up with the weather. Minus 12 and a whole load of snow. I've had to shovel 3 times in the last 24 hours. Good thing I put up the xmas lights last weekend or I'd be doing it in the snow now. Oh well could be worse.... its -22 in Calgary right now and supposed to get down to -29 today.

This is my last 3 day weekend for the year. One more short week and then I have to work 2 whole 5 day weeks before I'm on holiday again. Not sure how I will survive.

Ok I made a bad call on this one

I decided not to invest in TVC on the TSX Venture. I didn't like the numbers and seemed to speculative for me. I was looking at it about a month was around 2.50 and I didn't buy it. Up until this last week it was the right call. That changed when bad news at the cigar lake mines seem to have driven up the uranium demand and stock prices and TVC closed at 3.17 today or a 30 % increase in about a week. A little greater than BWR has done but I didn't have any more cash free to buy it anyhow. I wonder if it has anything left in it or if the bubble will burst on uranium? Supply is down with the bad cigar lake news so good old supply and demand should drive up the price and profits from uranium.

Oh well my resource based funds will love it.

Quite the response from my stock comments

Well a few referral's from finance related sites from my recent investment comments. So I decided to post more. I realize both my recent recommendations have actually gone down in the last couple days and if you purchased after me you may be in the red right now. Suck it up its not a quick buck and enjoy the ride with the ups and downs. The resource market is volatile so the ups will come again before you know it just don't be greedy. Chariot announced today a significant increase in resource estimates from a Peru location and opened 7% higher and went up to 8.5% early in the day. Unfortunately the entire market dropped about 160 pts shortly after reaching a record high and the resources took a hammering including bwr and chd.

Also LMK may come back on the list. They recently removed and appointed a new President and CEO. There are still some numbers in there financials that concern me, and some numbers that are not there at all that concern me even more. I'll be watching for audited statements and re-evaluate then.

Time to go update the portfolio from today's activities and remember a shortcut is often a bumpy road not a paved highway.

Ok I promised to tell you..

CHARIOT RESOURCES LTD (CHD on the TSX)

Usual disclaimer exists.... I'm not telling you to buy or soliciting in any way... if you buy its your choice and don't call me don't blame me cause I am in the same boat until I sell anyhow. Just don't be greedy. Set your sell price and follow it. I have mine set and I'm not telling you what it is.

Boy did I hop on the right boat...

Ok well for those who have purchased it in the last couple weeks you know what I'm talking about. BWR on the TSX. 30% return in 10 days and its still going up. Percentage wise it has recovered the income trusts damage but unfortunately I only have 5% of the amount I had in Income trusts in this stock so in $$$ I haven't recovered from that Government introduced blow to the account with there taxation comment. I have another one resource company I'm going to buy a couple thousand shares of in the next couple days (once I have some cash in the account) If you ask nice I'll tell you then but I don't want you driving up the price on me before I can get my order filled. I did some research on the one to buy next today and they are another jr. Resource company and trending the same as BWR and another company that I think its to late for but with a slight delay so they appear to be ready for the same explosion that BWR has seen. BWR happened quicker than I was expecting and I missed my original buy price by about 7 % so maybe this one I can time a little better and end up with a better return again. Remember I am not telling you to buy anything so if you do and it goes down or you cant sleep at night because of the roller coaster ride..... don't call me, swear at me or blame me.... It's your choice and you can do your own research. No the other company is not LMK. My homework shifted them from the maybe list @ $.15 to a nope I don't see a good return list.

The Gym is a Gym and the office is back to an office only. No BED, No Home Gym in it any more.

Good news..... The Gym is pretty much done. Moved the weights down stairs tonight. Had to take it apart to get it out of the office anyhow so planned it so I could bring it down in 2 pieces (plus the weights of course). Its all downstairs now. My living room now has no bike in it, by office no longer has a home gym in it and my treadmill is in the same room as everything else. Just need a new TV. The one on the floor sucks and is temperamental so it needs to be replaced with a flat screen. I was looking at a 32" HDTV LCD today but it was $1000 for a RCA. A little bigger than I need down there and RCA isn't exactly a high end TV.
