Thanks burglar.
What do you think of this Index?
http://www.asx.com.au/documents/resources/emerging_companies_index_fact_sheet.pdf

The S&P/ASX Emerging Companies Index (XEC) complements existing larger capitalisation indices in the S&P/ASX index suite by providing an investable performance benchmark for companies that generally rank outside the S&P/ASX 300 by total capitalisation. The S&P/ASX Emerging Companies Index provides an opportunity-set of companies characterised as being smaller, often less liquid and under-researched when compared with companies traded on ASX with larger capitalisations.

I like the sound of this, aggressive, drill program underway, potential acquisitions. Mostly speculative.

There is really strong speculative potential in this. Promising starting grades to work from. 1 JV with a major sewn up, another pending. Potash always a bonus for me.

A week of slow drifting, which has been the case for small cap specs for a long time. These stocks will be mainly news driven, whether it be good or bad.
With low liquidity, low caps it is important to be patient.
Patient in your time to buy, as you can see there is no rush when you find one you like as there can be large periods of inactivity and drift. Or conversely accumulation.
Patience is also important after your entry. If you have a low risk tolerance, these stocks may not be your ideal choice.

You are going down XEC! :D

I have to throw a qualifier in here. I did not get to choose my entry point into any of these stocks, they are just the prices at time of research. This thread is to show what CAN happen, not what WOULD happen to me in a 'live' scenario.
I would not purchase all of these stocks, but they just fit a broad picture of what I look for. If I used my real stricter criteria even of these would be eliminated from purchase.

Thanks for that burglar. I am happy for you to continue posting that information, if you wish to, of course.

An actual Springhill v XEC, where I get to select entry prices over a period of time is something I would consider down the track.

springhill, which non-mining stocks are you most excited about in terms of their fundamentals?
Click to expand...

Good question mate. I am a massive fan of RFL, their acquisition of COIN is a game changer. Is it a game changer for better or worse is yet to unfold. They have gone from a position of being cash positive to taking on debt. More information needs to be supplied to the market by RFL. They have also announced new sales which will increase the books in H2 FY13. Further announcements of sales is critical to reduce the debt, they are at a critical tipping point ATM, but I have (blind?) faith in the management.
Another member has mentioned COO, which I am currently looking through and looks promising.

I realise I am heavy in mining stocks, and I need to expand my horizons. Sometimes I breeze through the non miners as there are so many spec miners to get through in such a short amount of time each night. A fault that needs to be corrected.

Sorry I cant expand further ATM, but your post has definatly prompted me to open my eyes a little further and look outside my own perametres.

Any non miner I feel I can add to, I will post on in the future.

Cheers GB.

Anytime GB.
SKC if you are reading this what are your current thoughts on RFL?
Click to expand...

As you said, acquisition of Coin is a game changer - for better or worse.

What that means is, there'd be past holders who feel uncomfortable about it. They bought for a particular criteria (cash backing > market cap with a free, semi-promising business on the side) and that reason is no longer valid. That is as good a reason to sell as any. This creates supply.

On the other hand, there is not enough information on Coin to make a proper call. Watchers either need in depth industry knowledge or confirmation (via company announcement etc) to turn into buyers. So I am not surprised if there's a lack of demand.

So to me, the Coin acquisition proffers a situation of short term supply/demand imbalance which leads to a fall in the share price, irrespective of how good/bad of Coin might be as a business. Being an illiquid stock, the move can be quite large in % term. That's why I've reduced my own holding.

Note I am not bearish on Coin the business, but I am bearish on RFL's stock price. This situation can be rectified quickly, however, by some news release.

P.S. With your illiquid stock lists, can you tell us what the price change were if one was to sell at the bid as opposed to the last price?

Thanks for your thoughts, always appreciated.

I will consider adding a buy/sell price split to the information on each company. I am just struggling with the workload a bit ATM mate, and juggling a new wife. Too much time on the computer is not good for business :eek:
