Stocks and Trading Thread - Channeling your inner Mono

I think I may have bought the most thinly traded equity in the universe.  The price has not budged a fraction of a penny since I bought it.  The trading volume today is two shares.

I have one that would sometimes go a week with no activity on it.  That was not my best investment ever.  Lost 98% of my investment on it and still holding it today because I don't quite need the capital loss yet.

I'm not worried about this security pulling a Cal, since it does track an index and can be arbitraged.  Plus it pays a pretty sweet divided.

Good news for Blackberry: Someone finally took pity on them and offered a buyout bid.

Bad news for Blackberry: That someone is Samsung.


How's the Canadian government going to react?

My Canadian penny stock (made in Canada) got enough of a lift on news that they were close to developing some cow vaccine or other that I was able to unload 2/3 my shares at a tiny profit.  Unfortunately the loonie has taken a beating since I bought in so I'm still losing money on the deal.  Live and learn.

Market's not reacting to the Fed very well today. Hedges making profit is generally a bad sign I guess.

Why the hell would you be investing in a Canadian penny stock?  The TSX venture exchange is not as properly regulated as it perhaps should be...
