Good morning boys and girls.

[john_1]

OK I am back...I gave you up for lent. So please tell me some of you have been making money while I have been gone... Whats news?

[PaulC]

Not much things have been pretty quiet since you left. I think many people are waiting to see if this rally has legs.

[#3]

Welcome back ol'Johnny boy.

[Werner_1]

John, hows trading going?

[#5]

Welcome back John, it's good for the forum.

[#6]

Yea, good to know you're there

[platsak]

Were you banned as well John. Or did you stay away in sympathy for Chartist. How's things going with Chartist?

[saash]

Hi John, I'm liking the look of the reverse head and shoulders, waiting for some confirmation that this does indeed have some legs.

[john_1]

Hozit guys. Ya good to be back. I did get a whole lot of stuff done instead of shooting the breeze while I was gone. Trading has been a bit up an down I had a ***** feb, good march, ***** april. Ya this market is just wanting to rally but with the DOW at the top of its downward channel. Its hard to concieve that all is well in the world. I have been felling an increasing desire to go back to long term holds as A part of me believes the bear is dead and now is the time to buy for ones retirment. So you can see that I am quite clearly stuck in 2 minds.. Think I should go drink some coffe and contemplate it just a little more.. having said that I am a fan of implats, anglo's, Billiton and Brith American Tabacco....Do you realize that they sell nearly 1000 cigarettes per person per year in SA alone( they sell 30 billion sticks in SA and 715 billion globally...thats a pack a week at R5 profit per pack per person.

[saash]

Lol - but some of us don't smoke, so I guess others of us are making up for you and I?

[john_1]

we is a population of about 40 million and they sell 30 billion cigs. talk about a company that prints money long term... Biggest threats are not heath its taxation and conterfiet. There is the small moral issue that 1 in 10 people die early as a result of ciggarettes so if you are ok with that then its a no brainer....and since everybody dies anyway...

[john_1]

Not Banned just gave up talking k ak for lent.

[#13]

So you given up on daytrading John ?

[john_1]

No but if the trend breaks up. One has to view this as a once in a generation buying opp so one must commit capital

[YNWA]

Johno Boy...you span 2 generation already....you be a salt & pepper beard...which one is it gonna be?....good to see around again. adios.

[john_1]

If a little skeem I have going works out I won't be needing to day trade as the funds will be thick, fast and flowing in... Can't talk about it just yet.
