Looking Forward To Apology From Tim Hanson

goldminingXpert — Fri, 18 May 2012 15:17:02 GMT

I don't mind that Tim Hanson made a bad call on Yongye and got sucked in by management's sweet talk and spin. I've fallen for stock scams in the past myself, it's a part of life.

What I do mind is that he wrote this nasty little article about me

@1.49 today. This selloff is a wee bit overdone.

CAPS Star Ratings and score leaders not updating

goldminingXpert — Tue, 01 May 2012 11:54:10 GMT

Just a general FYI.

Why can't I red thumb Copper Fox?

goldminingXpert — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 17:48:06 GMT

The latest changes in CAPS stock eligibility have gone too far in my opinion. Now I can't rethumb $500M companies with stock prices over a buck such as Copper Fox. I understand the idea of trying to keep more illiquid stocks out of CAPS, but I think we have gone too far in the wrong direction.

Great Panther Shares Likely To Continue Limping Lower

goldminingXpert — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 09:30:01 GMT

By Ian Bezek

Great Panther Silver (GPL) has returned incredible results to shareholders over the past two years. From a low of 14 cents during the great financial crisis to more than $5/share earlier this year, Great Panther has clearly been on a roll. From last October alone, shar...

Mediocre Panther (GPL) fesses up

goldminingXpert — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 15:11:12 GMT

Apparently their cash costs aren't $8/oz after all. A turn toward honest accounting sends the stock down 10% today and more to come. For background, see the inital expose of their flaky accounting and

GMX gains 2,294 points Thursday, as the economic illusion's unraveling gained speed. With zombie companies such as GGP getting shredded, GMX scored his best single-day point gain ever (even better than the 2008 salad days.) He extends special thanks to DownDown, ahem, Dendreon, whose shares fell 67% after it became evident that Americans don't want to pay $90k for a drug that extends life by a few months. Sorry naked shorting conspiracy theorist...

Yongye: Red Flags

goldminingXpert — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 10:40:14 GMT

I've now read every 10-Q and 10-K Yongye has released since it became a public company, along with talking to their CFO, and I am still baffled as to how large segments of the company operate. Hopefully the company will disclose more information (paricularly what it is required to by SEC regulations) and clear up the confusion about apparent conflicts of interest, insufficient employees, and wildly fluctuat...

Starr files lawsuit against CCME

If it wasn't over before, it certainly is now. Remember, in the future when analysing possible fraud, don't take a "reputable" investor to be solid proof of a company's legitimacy. Both Carlyle at China Agritech and Starr got burned by their failure...

Atrinsic -- wow, what a pump job

goldminingXpert — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 10:16:09 GMT

I must admit my complete amazement at a certain John Gilliam's ability to pump dubious stocks. On Monday, Atrinsic shares surged 80% after his extremely bullish article. This despite the fact that in Gilliam's short track-record of promoting stocks, he's promoted complete jokes such as LOOK, MIVA, THK, and the CAPS-Favorite bizarro YTBLA.PK. Also Gilliam had previously promoted Atrinsic stock when it was at $20 under a different name. It was at ...

CCME: Irrefutable Evidence of Fraud (Muddy Waters)

goldminingXpert — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 11:18:34 GMT

Too bad for Glen Bradford and the other pumpers of Chinese RTOs. Their bellweather is going down. Under $11 now. Will the longs pull another rabbit out of their hats? The CCME drama continues on.

The report can be accessed here:

While I have been relentlessly negative about Rosetta Stone from its IPO onward, even I am willing to concede we are starting to approach a bottom for RST. I closed my 11th red thumb of RST recently and I am not planning on re-opening to launch #12 yet, as the market has, it seems, fairly taken into account RST management's failure to execute. In yesterday's 4Q earnings press conference, RST management noted the major problems the business has a...

My Crazy Call: Buy Airlines. Now.

goldminingXpert — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 10:25:24 GMT

If you believe the market correction we've had this week does not mark the beginning of the end of this bull market, then you ought to be buying airline stocks hand-over-fist. And yes, I am aware of oil's mercurial rise on the back of sweeping unrest across North Africa. Airlines are obviously extremely vulnerable to $100 per barrel or higher crude. Despite airlines' complex hedging strategies to protect against price spikes, they are stil...

I am CAPS 1-day hottest player. Sigh.

goldminingXpert — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 19:47:33 GMT

What a humbling fall from grace, to go from #1 and 10,000+ point to a sub-0 score and sub-50 rating. Due to the nonsense in Libya, I've finally returned to being an all-star today with my rating rising an absurd 45 points. Hopefully with a little sanity in the financial markets, I'll be back to 99+ rated soon. I will never again laugh at the "the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent" quote as this bull market has...

Chinese stocks getting hammered today

goldminingXpert — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 15:07:44 GMT

Another rough day for the dubious Chinese RTOs. How long will regulators let this untrustworthy companies continue to make a mockery of our markets? How long will foolish longs keep pumping these deflating stocks? So many questions.

CHBT -13%

CAGC -19%

BORN -8% earlier in the day

HAWK goes belly up to CAPS surprise

goldminingXpert — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 09:35:33 GMT

Probably the greatest disconnect between what people thought would happen and what did happen in quite awhile. 49 out of the top 50 ranked players at CAPS to pick HAWK had green thumbs. Two questions: Did most of the highly-ranked players to throw green thumbs on the HAWK actually do due diligence or were they just following along? I briefly green-thumbed HAWK without doing due diligence but closed it for a small gain quickly and didn't return a...

Actions Semiconductor: A True Value Play

goldminingXpert — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 22:12:12 GMT

Yes, believe it are not, there are stocks that I like along with the many I dislike. Some of these preferred stocks are even in China. Actions Semiconductor, with $208 million of cash to support its lofty (not) market cap of $170 million is one of those. Is the Actions Semiconductor business worth the -$38 million valuation the market has given it? I argue no in this
