Does anyone here listen to Eminem much? If so, what's your opinions on his new album? I can see it winning a lot of awards. It's much more like his older music works.

What is your favourite Eminem songs? Even if your not a fan of his, surely you have a song you have heard that you like of his. ]]> General Chat johnkendall http://www.aussiestockforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20158 Leptokurtic http://www.aussiestockforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20157&goto=newpost Thu, 29 Jul 2010 12:04:22 GMT Hi , just wondering if anyone here has played with a Leptokurtic system :) just heard about it today and wondering if anyone has it in practice.

General Mining is exploring for Fe and Mn at the Shoemaker Project in the Eucla, roughly 100km + further inland from GWR. Aswell as Potash in Mongolia. Interestingly China has the worlds biggest difference between potash use and potash production. So a void needs to be filled somehow.

Rock chip samples so far have identified surface hematite results of between 50-65% Fe and also 21-43% Mn. First stafe drilling is planned for these targets later this year, once all approvals are granted.
GMM also have a IOCG prospective Eyre Project in WA, though this drilling program has been stopped due to wall stabilisation problems.

With the timing of an election around the corner + labor's track record of smoke and mirrors, it's very hard to believe these figures. Timed well with the Women's Weekly charade too...:rolleyes:

Agree that things aren't good for small business. Where my husband works several people have been made redundant in the last couple of weeks.

Some of the reporting, highlighting mine:

THE best set of inflation figures in three years has saved the government and home buyers from a forecast interest rate rise next week.

The Reserve Bank board meeting will vote to leave interest rates on hold on Tuesday after the closely watched underlying rate of inflation slid to 2.7 per cent, the first time it has been below 3 per cent and within the bank's target band for three years.

It is very encouraging that inflation is low while the rate of job creation in the economy very strong:

Australia created 45,900 jobs in June, the 11th successive month in which employment has climbed, typically at the rate of about 1000 jobs per day.

This combination of low inflation and jobs created at about 1,000 per day is great news for the economy. ]]> General Investment and Economics Timmy http://www.aussiestockforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20147 CRL - Comet Resources http://www.aussiestockforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20145&goto=newpost Wed, 28 Jul 2010 10:59:23 GMT In the entire last quarter, CRL have not released one single announcement.

I'm not sure what grades constitute a viable Mn project, so if anyone can help with that i'd appreciate it.

Record entries, Price, Date, number of shares, margin, exit price, date, interst on margin, commision and keep a accurate trading account balance.

Attached is the closest spread sheet I have found, has everything but its short fall is EG:
entry no2
entry date 15/6/2010
exit date 25/6/2010
The entry is in one row and if you enter another trade say on the
18/6/2010 it will allready have the profit or loss from the trade entry of the 15/6/2010.

Therefore the Trading account balance is flawed and I wont be able to implement part of my money management plan to maintain a% of my TAB in cash to cover any margin calls.

I am really more keen to test margin/ risk / money management and time in the market being the priority rather than the best possible entries.

Thankyou
