Liz and Mills, just reviewing the Q&As for this day now and so you are unlikely to even see this comment but Michael did exactly what he was supposed to do as a good financial commentator. I just looked at the full video and he asked all the right questions so that anybody who does not follow technical analysis would have an appreciation of Don’s responses. Michael quite rightly played the devil’s advocate so that all the right information came out.

Richard … “picks”. You are correct sir. The comments section of this site should have an edit function before submission. Just a suggestion. Stan Wong likened Don’s analysis to reading the “farmer’s almanac” last night. Hainesworth’s interviewing of guests is excellent .. nothing wrong with probing questioning. Notice Don always has an answer to the advocacy.

Hi Joe. Prefer MT over NUE at present. MT has a better medium term technical profile (e.g. trading above its 50 and 200 day moving averages.

Hi Joe. Prefer PPLT over PGM because of liquidity and structure. PGM is based on a futures contact that occassionally can run into problems due to contango.

Hi Richard. Technicals for PAA, SLW and SSO are deeply oversold, but have yet to show sufficient technical evidence of a bottom yet. All yet new recent lows today. Best to be patient before buying/adding.

Hi Bob. Some technical indicators are useful for predicting a break out or break down with a high degree of reliability. A good example is on balance volume. If on balance volume breaks out showing strong accumulation, chances are high that a price break out is imminent.

Silver Guys…………US$ is driving commodities now,wait til March and you should see silver ,gold ,oil come back as the US$ weakens.
Don,t forget that seasonality is just one factor when investing/trading.
This PIGS (Portugal,Iceland,Grease,Spain) concern over a potential financial crisis will push the US$ higher for a while.

My question how do i get exposure to Platinum through Canadian equities or ETF’s. Since i don’t want to own US equities or be holding too many US dollars. Thanks

I am looking for a single stock or etf to buy. I just like to make around 5 to 10% in a short period. Can you recommend me one?
