Summary: Lost 0.7% today as miners continued to slide and ALSWF closed down 3.5%.    TBSI, which I bought yesterday, jumped 7% and XSI did better than I expected given their earnings.  Still must talk with the CEO. I sold … Continue reading →

Summary: Regained 0.4% of yesterday’s drubbing.  Miners were mostly positive and ALSWF continues to climb.  I bought some of TBSI, another dry bulk shipping company, which reported good earnings.  I didn’t take as detailed a look as I probably should … Continue reading →

Summary: Lost 1.1% today as mining stocks fell and XSI dropped 6%.  The latter still hasn’t reported earnings, but 10-Q filings are due tomorrow.   Useful to know for small, unfollowed companies like this. I shorted some CME today.  It jumped … Continue reading →

Summary: Gained 1.1% today.  Shippers and miners continue to lead the way. Someone discovered SEA, which jumped over 7%.  I picked up some more before the move.  In retrospect I should have picked up more and earlier.  Most other shipping … Continue reading →

Summary: Finished off a good week with a 0.2% gain today.  Nothing popped on the upside but miners were generally strong.  The exceptions were NXG, which reported bad earnings, and GREXF on new news.  Both dropped 7%. I bought some … Continue reading →

Summary: Strong week continued with a 1.4% gain. ALSWF gained another 4% but was trumped by HBMFF and MLKKF, the latter rising 9%. Although I own it, I would have preferred a drop so that I could buy more cheaper. … Continue reading →
