Bad news on Copper pricing, with it hitting a 3 month low I beleive!
I was also reading there is expected to be major overcapacity in a few years time, with current oversupply already out there.
Not a good sign for long-run copper prices! Only bad news on EQN so far, need copper demand in Europe and the US to pick up again!
I'm kicking myself for selling at 1.30
Managed to buy back a couple of days ago.
Also noticed that CMC offer these on 10% leverage tooWhich I used 2 days ago
Is this what is causing the disappointing SP at the moment?
I can't believe how much this stock is being pumped compared to the rest of the resource stocks... 2 out of 3 days with 6 - 7% losses
Go you good thing!
My girlfriend saved some cash for a holiday and had it sitting in her money box (several thousand worth? WTF), so I told her I will invest it for her! ha ha. Bit risky but hey, put it in EQN and made 15% in about a week! Nearly 2 years worth of bank interest right there! Just wish the rest of my portolio performed as well!

Equinox CEO, Craig Williams, said the company wouldhave medium-term protection because of a 10-year development agreement, but ismonitoring developments.
