ShareThisSo yesterday DV checked in to provide his last summer update. Hope you all enjoyed a little taste of what it will be like to have Donny V back. I know many of you thought that he was back and vacation over…well too bad, you’re not getting rid of me that quickly. He will be back at his desk this Friday, so be sure to tune in. Better yet, tell 5 of your colleagues each day until Friday to tell 5 of their colleagues, and so on and so forth, to visit TimingTheMarket.ca this Friday. That way we can welcome back DV in style.
Anyways, apologies for the sparse comments as of recent. I have been kept busy with site updates –- gotta make sure TimingTheMarket.ca is still tickin’ away as usual when the Donald returns.
We’re down to our last few past publications as DV’s vacation comes to an end and it appears the stock market is down to its last few dollars after Monday’s selloff. If you’re still out there and didn’t get walloped by the market, then enjoy this past publication.

Keep up the updates! What about the discussion boards? Some of them are broken…but this portion of the site has a nice comments section.
Any thoughts for putting DV on twitter? For my blog, I have twitter auto-retrieving any posts on my blog page.

Any comments on Lithium stocks anyone? Anyone have any favorites in this sector?

Roy-8/18-lithium: I am watching Canada Lithium Corp (Public, CVE:CLQ) & Western Lithium Canada Corporation (Public, CVE:WLC) as possible entry points in this sector. Very specy!

Eve, Richard and Chris – re yesterday’s questions, there were several regarding the broad market’s affect on the seasonal gold play. Thackeray’s 2009 Investor’s Guide states that the average positive benefit for gold vs. the S&P500 from 1984 to 2007 was 4.8% in the July 12 to October 9th time frame. In 1999, gold was up 25.5% and the S&P500 was down 4.5% for a difference of 30.4%. In 2001, the difference was 18.8% and in 2002 the difference was 17.9%. In the entire period, gold was up an average of 3.6% while the S&P500 was down 1%.
Gold or silver? The “Gold and Oil Guy”, Chris Vermeulen said that there was some gold manipulation going but less so in silver so he tended to favour silver, at least in the short term. But beware. In my very cursory survey using StockCharts Interactive Perf Chart, silver is far more volatile that gold (if that’s posible). Yesterday, I put in a short term trade for SLW and that’s even more volatile again.
