Summary: Up 0.7% today.  A large part of that was due to a newsless 10% rise in MLKKF and general metal strength.  On the downside XSI dropped 3%. I was in a buying mood today, adding back OCNF, buying more … Continue reading →

Summary: Flat on the day.  The S&P hit a new high as markets ignored a 6.5% drop in Shanghai.  Why the quiescence?  Perhaps because the cause of the fall, the raising of a transaction fee by Chinese authorities, was more … Continue reading →

Summary: Up 0.6% today.  Most of that was actually from yesterday when the US market was closed but Toronto was open.  Got help from the usual suspects.  XSI fell 2% today after being down 7% most of the day.  Still … Continue reading →

Summary: Down 0.3% today and approaching 2% for the week. XSI was the star of the day, rising 6.5% despite what I thought were lackluster earnings a couple of days ago.  But this wasn’t enough to overcome weakness in miners, … Continue reading →
