Hi Monty..

I have been consolidating my portfolios..and Juniors are going the way of the Dodo..I to enjoy the excitement of the old Diamond Fields and Brex Days..Made a hell of a pile on Bre.X ($75,000.00 ) and never got into Diamond fields .I was left holding waiting for it to pull back from $1.96...first time around..

I was still waiting at $8.99 ...and $15.00 and at that point m gave up and never had a share,...

I did start Buying SAS and mentioned it on the board and I had great hope for it but for what ever reason the team could not get SAS off the ground so one day when It was up I sold it off .I was in the midst of consolidation anyway..raising cash,.

I also sold off my SPB about $80,000.00 ..it was paying a great divvy and DRIPPING ..They cut out the DRIP and I was gone the same day..That was a 5% discount to reinvested units and my money was better in KWH.UN a new power and gas utility in the US listed in Canada and paying a 10.9% Yield and a .9996 divvy...That is a buck ..and no DRIP yet but the company just started last fall..they will be like Enbridge is in Canada and about a $50.00 stock in two years..

And I am in at the bottom..Just like I was with Alberta Energy..opening day 1971..Red Deer Alberta ..I went into the bank and bought 20 shares at $10..00 a share ..Had to be an Albetra residence to even buy it..I sold it 20 years later a get splits and all I was over $10,000.00.+

Anyway I have about 10,000 units of this KWH.un and hope it will be a s good as my IPL>UN that I started buying at $9.00...now $23.00...and spitting out big divvys and have increased divvys 4 times since i bought it..That is why I am out of speculative stocks..no money to be made..at least these guys are paying me to wait while I piss and moan and play on the computer..life sucks when you are old..
