CFU-hoping to cash in on the 'green' craze but hasn't worked out-yet.
CRJ-speculation-has acreage adjacent to Olympic Dam.

At least u have a very diversified portfilo Slol.

and no airline shares, thats a plus.

PDN an energy play, we eat it, energy = food.

It's interesting times and very unpredictable.

From 16/7.

QAN + 10.4%
AIR + 14.5%
VBA + 46%

I don't like to rub it in but if you check the oil stocks I think you'll find there's been a bit of "acceptance", if I can use that word setting in today.

AT 96 cents its not to late to grab the shirt tail up to $1.25.. that`s VBA..

QAN down .12 today, maybe to do with continuing maintenance problems. A lot of chat on the internet about QF outsourcing maintenance offshore and the quality of the work. Who knows, but you often get what you pay for.
This is what happened in Kuala Lumpur when maintenance guys (not pilots) taxiied the aircraft without hydraulics.

This was a worse one though. Brand new too.

Achtung tricha,

I've got a confession to make. I broke my golden rule and bought a few VBA the other day. I couldn't resist the temptation, I just cracked under the pressure of watching it go up every day.

Since 16/7 up 67%.

**BRICKS** · 17-08-2008, 03:36 PM

UP 26% in one day could go to to $1.25 / 30 with out much trouble don't listen to WINGERS..

Could do even better-article in the Waikato Times yesterday singing the praises of Pacific Blue, all part of the same organisation.

Wow. Airline shares especially looking pretty similar to those CFD mini-HSI fututres which I play with on odd occasions. I will definitely be adding them onto my watchlist, they're like miners but with an inverse correlation to oil prices and better suited for TAs. The charts support your buying position Skol, gave a pretty decent buy signal back at 55c.

Of special bullishness is the OBV plot, which is now signalling incredibly strong buying pressure. As for myself I will be buying on the next dip, or maybe air new zealand.
