Marcel — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:01:06 +0000

I was send a msg from a reader regarding what happened to NRI.TO when the stock dropped in value by more than half and two minutes later, went back to up hovering around 35 cents. So, what happened? Luckily for me, when this whole mess happened, my cottage had no internet for over a day and [...]

I’ve been busy enjoying the summer, swimming in my one kilometer square bathtub, hunting chipmunks and singing Kumbaya at all hours of the day. What I have done is sold ALL my other stocks and put them all into NRI.TO. What this means is that I now have 90 800 shares of this company which [...]

Marcel — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 01:14:23 +0000

At close to 9 million trades a day, NUVO RESEARCH INC (NRI.TO) is really trading like crazy on the TSX. This caused it to gain 10% in just one day! So last week I sold another 10 companies at a 10-15% loss on average and put it all into NRI.TO. I now own 65 000 shares [...]

I got a comment from Dave asking me why I win all the time… Actually Dave, the reason I got such a good run is because I jumped into the market when it was at its bottom lowest, if I would have started two years ago, I fear things would have been very different and lost [...]

Getting rid of my US Stocks

Marcel — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 05:05:25 +0000

I decided to get rid of all my US stocks since my last update on 2xStocks.com at a 15-20% loss. These stocks included General Motors, Citigroup, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Sirus. With the Canadian dollar increasing in power over the greenback and these stocks not doing much of anything, it made no sense to [...]

It took me five and a half months but I finally doubled my money using only the stock market. Yahoo! I would like to thank the investors who bought my shares high after I bought them low, the Toronto Stock Market for giving me the easiest job I ever had and the frozen squirrels that [...]
