daytrading nov 8 afternoon, page-53

CVY - although today's volume is high, compared to the last week or so, the actual value of traded shares is amazingly low. The bonanza gold grade mentioned on 20 Oct was probably counterfeited by a big down day.

Funny story time: I wandered down to Circular Quay at lunchtime and dropped into the ASX on Bridge St to read a phone message away from the the glare. An old guy next to me starts mumbling about Prima (PRR). We start chatting and I tell him I'm a holder, and that PRR paid for our holiday to Phuket in April. He says, "You gotta wait for the bears to leave and the bulls to come back. In the old days, we'd get on the phone (to a broker) and make $5000 easy money each day. It's not like that any more."
