With the end of the year fast approaching, taxloss selling is inevitable. This year we have a double whammy of the fiscal cliff, which includes the possibility of reversing the Bush Era's reduction of capital gains taxes. So you have people selling their dogs of their portfolio as well as some of their prime holdings. What's a regular person stuck in the middle supposed to do? If you think that your holdings are going to bounce back after the tax loss season is over, then now might be a good time to add to your holdings. If you aren't sure what may happen (who really is), then you might consider holding and selling. Bide your time until you feel a direction is more clear cut. In the case of both Unilife ($UNIS) (Nasdaq:UNIS) and Silver Falcon Mining ($SFMI) (OTCBB:SFMI) they are battling a lot of negativity despite making great gains in their overall business. With any long term business model and lets face it, mining and medical devices are not quick money makers, you have a group of investors with unreal expectations. They cling to every news announcement as the one that is going to cause the stock to double that day and they can walk off into the sunset. Unfortunately, 99% of the time this doesn't happen. However, with the Internet, we find out all about those great winners people have seemingly picked from thin air, without doing any research and have doubled their money, maybe tripled and even more multiples with overnight purchases. Case in point would a company like Chimera Energy ($CHMR). If you bought at the bottom, you made a small fortune. If you bought at the top you just lost 90%. Most of the companies that gyrate like that are fly by night pump and dump schemes. If you listened to my short plays of $CHMR and $PWEID, your sitting very pretty with some big gains. Unilife and Silver Falcon have been rolling around and despite their efforts of building their business to a position that makes 2013 look like they could be breakouts for their respective businesses. Investors like to kick stocks when their down, it seems easy and for some its profitable. If you are holding either of these stocks, you're probably wondering what to do with them. All you have to do is look back at where both companies were at the start of the year and where they are now to see that if they continue to progress like they have, then 2012 will seem like it was a great buying opportunity. Both companies are rapidly moving toward commercial success as much as the businesses that they are in will allow. Long term both companies have buyout potential which may factor into their pricing going forward. Let the other guys grumble, look at the facts of the business and then determine what you will do with you stock. Don't let stockboard posters, email blasters and the like influence your judgement. Don't let me influence your judgement. Look at what the company is doing and decide. For both of these companies, I expect to see some stellar results in 2013.
