MDI, update and correction!

Our previous comments were somewhat confusing. This is the count we will go for for the moment. The first real resistance is at $4. How fast it will get there is anyone’s guess but it will be fast judging by previous moves. Drillers are, in a sense, a derivative of the oil producers. When they make money they hire the drillers, when they don’t make money they do not even know their name, the swings can be huge.

This was , of course, the darling stock of the “woman’s own” investment club from 2005 to 2007. They are self educated and understand all the secrets of investing, all this while multitasking. Boatloads of money were made and equal amounts will be given back, unfortunately not always by the same people! This company owes its name to the oldest of the oldest of Canadian companies, where the ladies used to get their fur coats. This mining operation is going down hill fast. Wave 4 is at $2. They also sponsor CUA, CuOro on the venture exchange. Perhaps time to sell or dream on.

See our previous blog. We have a $12 target on this stock. The size of the triangle suggest that that is too far, but we could get an extended 5th wave which is normal for commodities including coal. Anyway we are already at about $25 which constitutes a loss of 2/3 and we are closing in on the $18 low in 2009.
