And she could throw a mean tarot

You are The Wheel of Fortune

Good fortune and happiness but sometimes a species of
intoxication with success

The Wheel of Fortune is all about big things, luck, change, fortune. Almost always good fortune. You are lucky in all things that you do and happy with the things that come to you. Be careful that success . . . → Read More: And she could throw a mean tarot

Tis the time to bargain hunt

So we’ve been busy. Working. Building. Dealing with immense toothache – why is it the pain stops after one makes the dreaded appointment? Blogging out at Blogshares (which is partially work-related as we survey the machinations and constructions of the blogiverse in all its manifestations). We must have checked out a couple of thousand or more . . . → Read More: Tis the time to bargain hunt

EVZ – we’re on a winner

Last week, our little water recycling star performer Envirozel (EVZ), which we recommended in September last year as a solid buy at 19c, revealed its latest acquisition – Young steel construction private company, National Engineering – yet another stable, thriving business with an attractive operational record. National’s revenue contributions will bring EVZ to within $30m of . . . → Read More: EVZ – we’re on a winner

The Emptiness of Non-Political Being

Right hand manCountless times during our long and profitable investment career, our political judgment has been invaluable in helping us make accurate market predictions, enabling us to pick trends well before they are common knowledge and every man and his dog is on the gravy train. A current example is the certainty we had that the ALP conference would lift the no new mines ban yet not back nuclear power stations. We lined up our U investments accordingly, choosing only shares with interests in South Australia, the Northern Territory and overseas. Our knowledge of the loosening of political control in China and subsequent market relaxation encouraged us to lash out with our investment in OCO, now paying off. Likewise with that goldie of goldies, LRL and the enticing LYC.

Without a political perspective refined and polished in debate with others, one flies in a fog.

Stockmarket CornUcopia Week

Another lovely day chained to the computer, reading through a staggering plethora of quarterly reports as they hit the bourse and watching for the market response we predicted to the ALP’s loosening of the reins on U mining.

SNU begins a rally up to 42c and then is squeezed back down to close at its opening . . . → Read More: Stockmarket CornUcopia Week

U little ripper

The numbers have lined up for Kevvie to remove the Labor no new mines policy at the National ALP Conference this weekend. A rodent wedgie over the issue seems unlikely now – the prime miniature will have to focus on bribing families in the budget and attacking Labor’s IR and economic policies.

Led by Anthony Albanese, the . . . → Read More: U little ripper

Kevvie, U and I

This is the week Kevvie’s fortunes will be decided. If he can’t swing the National Conference in favour of whacking the no new mines policy, the rodent will be in like Flynn with a walloping wedgie. While Garrett and Albanese continue to fight the good, if completely misguided, fight, Kevvie is confident.

A Woman Scorned

We’ve had two days of amusement watching disgruntled Jervois Mining shareholders lose their recent gains after a snippy and occluded JRV announcement described its reasons for rejection of INL’s friendly merger offer. To the ASX’s discredit, this ann was not marked market sensitive. After the rejection, Intec sold its holding in JRV down to 8.33%. Since the silly, erroneous report in The Australian yesterday, it is possible that INL sold down a whole lot more JRV today, when over 99m shares changed hands. Given JRV’s attitude, we would have … and 2 – 2.5c is still a handsome profit on INL’s 1.16c purchase price of its JRV shares.

Whilst INL has chosen not to respond directly to JRV’s shirty ann as yet, an email purporting to be from Philip Wood to a shareholder was reprinted on several Oz stock forums.
