Sold AEM

I sold my AEM position on Thursday. I still expect AEM to fulfill the technical target established by the ascending triangle but I honestly believed (hoped) it would happen by now with the mania of gold hitting ~$1000. Anyways, I sold my shares to pay half of the property tax bill so in that sense, I'm happy.

Many of the gold / silver stocks look a bit 'tired' to me at this point in time so I'll be patiently waiting on the sidelines.

As for the market in general, the TSX looks like it's in a "sideways to slightly negative slope" market so the buy-and-hold mentality probably won't make you much money for the next few months. That being said, the active trader can make a killing in these volatile times if you stick to the right strategy.


Thursday's AEM Intraday Price Range: $70.90 - $73.85 (CDN).

Oops, I guess I was wrong. Well, at least I was kinda right for a few days after my trade but wasn't brave enough to re-enter at a lower price. Oh well, you lose some, you win some. Plus, you can never lose taking a profit... but that extra cash sure would have come in handy!

The last few days of the week were really volatile for AEM.
