Primero Mining San Dimas Animation Video

EnigmaDude — Fri, 11 May 2012 13:50:21 GMT

This is a pretty cool video even if you don't like gold miners.

And if you want the "hard" facts about the Q1 2012 report there is a another video about that.

From The Reformed Broker, Joshua Brown:

A Chinese rogue trader who 'cheated' investors on her way to losing £10m in gold trading has been sentenced to death today.

I have been getting this a lot lately. Just about every time I try to use the link to go to My CAPS it seems that I get an error. I have to navigate away and then try again and sometimes it works, sometimes not. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Artificial Life - Back from the Dead?

EnigmaDude — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 10:59:13 GMT

Some long-time Fools may remember a small company that was highly regarded by many top-ranked CAPS members (including myself) that took a nosedive last year after they had some accounting issues that caused their stock to lose more than 90% of its value. Well now it seems that they are slowly coming back, from a low of $0.03/share to today's high of $0.195. First they finished and delivered a project for 3M and then announced that th...

What's up with IDT?

EnigmaDude — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:05:20 GMT

It shows up as my biggest loser for the day, but the stock is up about $0.04 last time I checked. I can't find anything that says they did a stock split. Why does CAPS think the stock is losing when the S&P is down and the stock is up on the day?

Why LightSquared doesn't matter

EnigmaDude — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 12:33:38 GMT

If you are not already familiar with LightSquared and the controversy surrounding their FCC waiver to bandwidth spectrum for a 4G network that interferes with GPS devices, do yourself a favor and look them up.
