Gold is going up... but why....?

Gold price is going up......but why not stocks?
currently, I have stocks for Kinross and Yamana gold. Funny thing is both of them are not performing that well compared to Goldcorp or Barrick gold.
The reason I bought this was more because the price was cheap, and I believed that the gold trend will definately lead to the positive future for these two stocks.

However, that was not true.

And I believe alot of people might have the same questioning on this issue,

this is the article I recently found online and hope this solve the question you have in mind.

financial highlights for two companies

IF you take a look at this financial highlights,
It is very easy to notice that the company's financials are not in a very healthy condition.

First of all, ROE is -264.40%. This already seems very severe. Moreover, EBITDA is also -12.40M with operating cash flow -8.15M.

People might think : why would a person buy a stock of this kind of disastrous firm?

Well, but that is not always the case. Firms get better and no-one can guarantee it. That is why these kind of stocks are very cheap in their price.

Currently, it is traded for 0.18 per share - I purchased these stocks only by using 40 dollars, so it can not be too bad.

Well for me, I purchased this stock due to some reasons.

I believe that quarterly growth shows potentials. If earnings started to grow, then it is very likely to have continuous growth.

Plus, this company is an organic company - which is environmentally friendly. Since the trend is more eco-friendly based product, I thought it cannot be too bad for sure.

Good thing is that Idaho state and Washington state started to use the companies products in testing their land. I think this is probably due to the organic, eco-friendly based product they produce.

Anyways, the thing I want to point out is - technical analysis is something I doubt it now. I feel like past price pattern does not really tell you anything. According to the SMA of 100 days the bearish movement is supposed to be present for this firm, but it was not.
It is more important to focus on the financials, and the current trend in the market and see the potential growth of a company.

recent music produced by linkin park

I started to listen to linkin park's music since their "hybrid theory" album.

Well, it is kinda funny that I started to listen to their music when I was grade five. I still wonder how a young elementary school girl can actually appreciate a rock music.

It was partly due to the influence of my brother, who was in middle school. He was very very very interested in listening to the hard rock songs, such as metallica, korn...

Even though I did appreciate rock songs, those songs were way too heavy for me.

Still linkin parks songs were actually pretty appealing in a sense that it was not tooo heavy and enjoyable. And the lyrics were pretty much philosophical. "In the End"  and "Paper-cut" were my fav in that album.

But most of all, My epic-fav song were >> Breaking the habit and Numb. I will post the links for those people who might be interested in. 

Breaking the Habit

After this album, well this opinion is very personal but I thought songs became kinda lame.

New divide, for example, I didnt really enjoy at all. So I stopped to listen to their music,

However, I accidentally clicked a link about the new movie Transformer 3, and found out that Linkin Park's new song will be the in the soundtrack for that. 

After years of their music career, this new release was more than pop.

It seems like it got much more mature , soothing, and more sympathetic to the listeners.

enjoy :)

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
you build up all the failiures all you've known
remember all the sadness and frustration
and let it go, let it go.

And in the burst of light that blinded every angel
as if the sky had blown the heavens into stars
you felt the gravity of temper grace falling into empty space
no one there to catch you in there arms

Today's Market

US market is closed today :(
So my limit order was cancel queued and my another limit order cannot be proceeded.
Well but still, I am very excited for the new stock I am gonna purchase XD

Market overview May 27th

Seems like consumer confidence is recovering - the overall market trend seems to be in a healthy atmosphere

However, It does not mean that all the stocks are in a good situation. However those growth stocks with huge volume - GOOG, APPL GE are rising trend.

My stock portfolio were generally good. However, KUTV was still in decreasing in its value. It dropped below 4 dollars, so I guess the only solution here is to wait till the result of M&A shows up ( With Pipi TV)

I decided to sell 80 of my NSM and decided to buy cheap stock with higher potential. I put limit order on that stock on monday for 3.00 dollars , 200 shares.

If the order gets executed, I will write the result and the reason for the stock pick and the reason for choosing the specific industry.

Today's Market

Okay..... the stock market just closed..... current time is 4:02 PM

Seems like the market is recovering.

Name	Last Trade	Change	Related Info
^NYA	NYSE COMPOSITE INDEX (NEW METHO	8,295.344:03PM EDT	42.88 (0.52%)

Name	Last Trade	Change	Related Info
^DJA	Dow Jones Composite Average	4,299.794:03PM EDT	17.19 (0.40%

NYSE increased by 0.5% and Dow increased by 0.4 %

Most of my stocks showed an increase : COIN, RFMD, AUY, KGC and NSM however, for some reason KUTV is performing very very very bad..... it was up to 8 dollars per stocks but dropped severely. Currently it is marked as 3.82 as closing price....  There was no news for this stock, so it is sort of hard to find out the reason. I guess I have to wait for some shock or news for this stock to recover later on.

One thing that makes me happy is NSM. This stock never disappoints me. It has been growing steadily and this stock overall brought me the most profit ever. Even when other stocks were suffering, this one was still so fine. I will have to consider the exit strategy with Texas Instruments since they are very closely correlated.

Stock Report #2

And recently I added up two other stocks to my portfolio : COIN and KUTV

COIN was a penny stock and bought this to figure out how much impact there will be on the earnings conference and how I can figure out the movement of insider trade.

KUTV was performing very well but recently dropped to the before price - for me there was no loss since I bought it at 4.50 ish. However at the beginning of May, it was aroung 8.00 dollars per share, which was pretty much successful. ( It was because of M&A with pipi tv)

Stock Report #1

Report #1

By using questrade account, I start investing on stocks after I got OSAP.
The main motivation I got to invest is because of the group project assigned in the investment course.
Eventhough I was keeping my eye on several stocks, due to lack of resources I got as a student I couldnt really invest in too many companies I was considering.
So I decided to purchase stocks of four companies : RFMD NSM KGC AUY on March 2nd

During the time I bought the stocks, I didnt really consider the price very carefully and bought in a pretty expensive way.

the mkt p of RFMD :7.13
                   KGC  :15.90
                   AUY  : 12.98
                   NSM  : bought it two times - 1st with mkt order 14.60 / 2nd on mkt order 15.03

Bought those two gold companies because of the trend in gold corporations were very good. Like barrick gold and goldcorp were performing very well, and with that trend I thought other gold companies will be well performing.
