[Oiler]

LOL... Serpie, Strat you guys are pushing the limits, but come on MACD join us for this one and the next one.

I am sure after a couple of Taliskers you will wont see or feel a thing.

[duncan macgregor]

Well guys you can put my name on the list i arranged transport after sweet talking my good lady into dropping me off and picking me up. No worries about shouting me a few malts i thrive on that sort of thing. Will be interesting to stick a few faces to some of the names. Macdunk

[seaosh]

Looks like it's shaping up to be quite a celebrity gathering then. . .

[Serpie]

Now we've got an official ST guru on board! MacDunk counts as 5 people due to the Guru rating, so we've got about 15 now.

Something for everyone. Who's next!

[Serpie]

I was just having a look at www.smallcaps.co.nz. Doing some reading before we meet it's creator next Saturday. Looking forward to hearing your views on the Tasman IPO.

Judging by your credentials Z you could probably do the annual return for my LAQC in about 10 minutes. I'll swap you - one tax return for a plate of nachos and a Tui.

[Dazza]

man fellas, ill be keen as to come eh!

mmmm we will c eh fellas, im probably gonna be the only asian there lol

will confirm with you guys later eh!

[Serpie]

Not to sound too creepy - but you're one of the Auckland poster's that I've been keeping my eye on.
You CAN'T have a million ST posts and NOT turn up to the meeting!
And with that portfolio you'll have something in common with just about everyone.

Serpie

keeping an eye on me? lol i aint like the others here, im more of an instinct investor only been investing for last 3 years, so much for studying pharmacy, been skipping lectures and not studying , well studying the markets more like it, i still remember in 2004, november, not studying my exams and researching NZO hard out to buy their options lol.

My portfolio, been selling today, have placed sell orders on SMY/PNA/MBL

something about 1929 and this years charts , looking exactly identical, someone called dow last night closing flat... which IMO was like whatever! especially with BoA buying 2 billion in preferences shares in countrywide.

turmoil times possibly, just in my first time, keeping some cash on hand...

ill be taking a 5% loss on MBL

and a 18% loss on SMY

PNA is selling for gains so oh well.

Just to chicken **** at the moment to not have some cash.

regarding the saturday, looks like i wont be able to make it this time, as i have work!

will be keen to make the next meeting though.

[Serpie]

Shame you can't make the meeting, but work must come first.

I too have been a bit chicken lately. I've stayed out of RMI because it's too volatile, and see it's going for another wee trot today.
I was craving stability, and if the market stays as it is today I'll have my first ever day with a $0.00 result. Boring, but at least it's not a loss.

[mattyroo]

Heading back to NZ next week. So if I'm going to be in Auckland will try and get along.
