Thanks, Runamuck. This little puppy has been a fun ride. In at .0044 and took my initial investment out at .0070. Only a few hundred thousand shares now, but playing with their money at this point. It is a lot of fun to play with these little things when you have time. This one might just keep going, the volume is supporting the price movement but that doesn't mean someone isn't playing with it.

Suposed to have tons of news and this isnt your ordinary penny stock they are about to come out of sub penny I think and keep going from there.

They got an awesome product and are expanding..

I got in at .003 they have had huge volume for 5 days now.. Setting a record each day and climbing. Going to be stagnet day today fluctuating between .0068 and .008 I think then news tomorrow should make it go. Could run EOD in anticipation of news tomorrow.

It will break .01 tomorrow. I am holding till they go on the otcbb and get off the pinkies. There audit should be done soon. 45 days max is rumor not like in a week but you never know. Allot of people are speculating they are worth .03 to .08. Once on the otcbb I will decide when to bail.

Is the message board I go to.. I am no expert just getting into this but I saw they had a good product so I got in, I was suuper skeptical of penny stocks but it is paying off so far..

Now I am researching my next fat one..


On that message board fatheroftwo ktrain dardadog and glassman I think are the smart guys to watch. Not me... :) I am riding coat tails..

Daytraders will probably play with this one tomorrow since it still has a low float and allot of people going long on it. Means its easy to make it go UP :huge:

I am still holding onto my shares. Havent made up my mind on when to sell.

Hi all,

I'm a little new to investing. Who is a solid/reputable online broker if I wanted to get involved with stuff like PLNI and ITGJ?

Looks like PLNI is @ .0078 and ITGJ is @ .001.

Need a little more info.

-How much cash to start with overall.
-How much, if any, experience in the market.
-How often do you think you will trade.
-Do you want/need paperwork or are you comfortable with downloaded documents.
-This would be for a non-retirement account, right?
-Do you want real time data?
-Do you program and want to connect your programs to your account?

-How much cash to start with overall.Very little... enough to 'play' with. I'm taking the same overall approach I did with the Dinar-- invest the amount you would be comfortable losing in Vegas. I'd like to keep it to a few hundred, but I'm guessing I'd have to start with $500 in order to open an account online.

-How much, if any, experience in the market.Zip. Zilch. Nada. Other than my experience with picking mutual funds and stuff like that for my 401K through my employer, not much. I understand the basic concepts, and I'm actively researching, but I essentially have no experience.

-How often do you think you will trade.Probably not often... I certainly don't see myself being a day trader, sitting in my boxer shorts in front of my Mac all day, watching the $$$ roll in as I chug a doppelbock. :) I'd like to be involved to the point where I could research something like PLNI, make an investment, sit and wait. (whether that's realisitic or not I don't know, but at least I'm honest!)

-Do you want/need paperwork or are you comfortable with downloaded documents.Totally comfortable with a paperless process.

-This would be for a non-retirement account, right?Bingo.

-Do you want real time data?Well, since this is for a non-retirement account, and I will definitely still work a 'real' full-time job out of the house, I'm guessing real time data would be a premium/luxury I wouldn't need.

-Do you program and want to connect your programs to your account?As far as programming, I *am* a .php/.asp developer, but I don't think that's quite what you mean. As a Mac user, there's probably a searth of investing software compared to the PC side, so that's something I certainly need to consider. An "all web" solution (if such a thing exists) would probably be my best bet.

Thanks for all the questions, nyinvest!

If anyone wants to check out the Toni Turner book, here's the amazon link (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1580625703/qid=1116538944/sr=8-2/ref=pd_csp_2/002-8396106-3368059?v=glance&s=books&n=507846).

Here's my take on things:

Since you are looking at only $500 to start, you are limited. The best choice in this respsect looks to be Scottrade. Scottrade isn't bad, I have about 5 accounts with them and the only issue I have is that they seem a little slow on filling orders but not really an issue.

You will be able to get a real time streamer for your desktop along with charting and research tools online. Not really too bad.

I'm pretty sure there isn't an inactivity charge so if you let things sit for a while, it shouldn't cost you anything. $7.00 trades, that includes limit orders now.


If you wanted to get more "advanced" it will cost you. I have some accounts with Interactive Brokers. They are a no frills flat fee $0.01/share broker. What I use from them is their data feed. Real time data with an API that you can use. I use ASP and VBscript to use this data and feed my home-built web based trading system. It works pretty well and is easy to use.

You can also get a free program like QuoteTracker and I believe it connects to Scottrade accounts and will provide a front end for your account with data out through DDE. Could be wrong with that.

I have a lot of accounts with Ameritrade. They aren't too bad. $10.99 per trade, all the online tools and pretty good execution times. You need $2000 to open there and they will charge inactive accounts a maintenance fee. What is nice for me, is that I qualify for their Apex level accounts which gets you a bunch of stuff with the fees waived.

There is the new Ameritrade Izone. It's the successor of FreeTrade. The trades are a flat $5 but I think you need $5000 to open and from what I can tell, it is only for personal accounts. No corporate, trust or custodial. I haven't researched them too much just yet. I think I will be moving my personal trading accounts there once I get all the information together.

Check out WFTV, a pink sheet stock. They put out a press release in February saying that they had raised new money, and then imposed a 90 day news blackout while they updated their disclosure in their quest to be a true OTC stock rather than on the pink sheets. The stock is at .0017 right now, and volume is pretty high (25 million+ the last couple of days). It looks like it is subject to manipulation, though, so be careful. I think that once the company updates it's disclosure, you are going to see this one explode. Only buy what you can afford to lose, though, IMHO.

I just hope we aren't encouraging anyone here. Microcaps are a bad bad thing.

That being said, I already had 1M WFTV and doubled up on ICAN to 24M shares today. I think the MM will kill ICAN, but I'm adopting the mob mentality on it and hope to flip enough to zero cost a decent chunk. Down to 90K PLNI but it's a free ride for me here on out.

Accumulating HEC and BRK.A for very long term
PKX and CNC mid/short term.

Like NAT, PVX and TRU for holding money. Might add GMS to that list under 19.50.

Some really good micro-caps that act like true stocks:

HISC in at .004: Closed at .046 today. This one should be around .20 and they are planning to get on the OTC board soon. When this happens, this stock will explode.

PLNI in at .0074: Closed at .0085 today. This one should rise now that people are know of it. Also, they have 4 weeks till they are recommended for the OTC board, and like HISC they will explode.

NEOM in at .62: closed at .53 today. This one sucks now, but could easily be 5.00 in a few years,

MOBL in at .198: closed at .321 today. One word: WiFi internet!

Do you own DD research on these. I am planning on holding all 4 for at least a year riding the ups and downs.

WARNING for those looking at WFTV. They dilute their shares constantly, and this is typical pump and dump. Plus, this company has changed their name and management more times than I can count. Even though it is going up now, unless you time it right, you will lose money.

the way i see it these stock can only go in one direction from here and that's up up up..... they have all corrected from their highs and now I have a chance to make money on the next ride up.... i got these picks from a friend and i've brought some of each... you can sit on the sideline and watch these stocks come back or you can jump on board and make money.

Read up on ESNR and let me know if there's anyone else with a product like this..... they have already signed several contracts but check the company out.... r u looking for micro cap stocks already at their 52/week high and will soon correct downward.

let me know if you buy any stocks from the list and we'll make plenty of money together.

Microstockman,

Never, never say that a stock can only go up. That is one sure sign that is still going down.

Honestly, I do not like those stocks for three reasons:

1) volume: volume is the key and driver for any microcap and none of these stocks have any. Sure they could go up, but how long would it take for you to sell with volume under 100,000. Take HISC for example that has volume in the 30,000,000 range. I would wait until the volume rises before buying

2) No information: I checked pennystock.com and most of these stocks have little or no information regarding O/S, free float, etc. This is very questionable, because the number of O/S really dictates how the stock performes. There is a big difference between a stock that had 40,000,000 O/S and one that has 1 billion. Also, why would the company hide this info, very questionable.

3) Dilution: Pennystock.com showed that most of your stocks have split very resently. ESNR, for example. had a 15.5 x 1 split in 1/24/05. This is the reason that the stock plummented. It is a bad sign when microcaps dilute their stock, because it means that they have no money and are running on debt. ESNR would have to see their earnings jump 15 times to justify the split, and I do not see this happening.

I am new to penny stocks. I have been doing some research here and there and signed up for a newsletter. I am only going to invest in money that I can afford. My question would be how do the pennystocks work. When do they come off the pink sheets? If you invest 100.00 and it rises to say 1.00 a share from a penny a share would you make 10,000 or is there usually a catch?

Keep your eye on HTDS (Hard to Treat Diseases). This company is in litigation over selling/licensing rights to a drug called Tubercin. This drug has already proven its worth in S. Korea for years. I believe this stock will take off after the court's decision. If anyone knows anything to the contrary, please chime in.

I was in plni, but I sold all my shares earlier this week. This stock has to much negative blogs surrounding it. Plus, it has about 1.5 billion O/S which would mean a r/s would have to happen before any jump to an exchange (not the otcbb).

I really like hisc. This is probably on the best "investments" I have ever seen. This was taken from the investmenthub/com website which really explains why. Let me know what you guys think.

I like HISC, selling at about .022, which has done some very unusual things for a pink, making them "shareholder friendly" unlike most of the others which P&D to screw us retail s/hs. You can find a "story" for all pennies and pinks. Unless you are an insider, you don't know if it's true or if it's a scam. However, all of us can evaluate, but often don't, the most important aspect of a penny stock "investment," and that is capital structure and the potential for screwing retail shareholders with dilution, (usually reverse split and dilution) the killer of any retail penny stock "investment."

This is HISC and why - at least so far - I consider them "shareholder friendly."

1) cut OUTSTANDING SHARES about in half - really a gift from insiders but it has brought enough attention that management wins by giving up the free and cheap shares that bloat the o/s. Most management do not realize this and dilute and sell.

2) authorized BOD to buy up to 10 million shares

3) just authorized another 50 million share buyback

4) began process to go fully filing and leave the pinks - get quotes on OTC BB

5) free level 2 on pinksheets.com

6) just hired as VP a former exec of Nextel, another Executive of Nextel just added to Board of Directors - credility

7) Filed a form 2-11 which indicates 2 million in revenue and 1/2 million in actual net income.

8) projecting 7 million in revenue for calendar 2005. Even 4 x revenues gives you a share price of .055 and that's without any growth that is currently projected in PR's.

9) lots of other projections - e.g. 125 million in 3 years. I take a lot of that with a grain of salt. But even if you take the $7 million dollar number and keep the margins the same, which the PR's have hinted at, then even if you give it a measly 20 PE gives you a .07 share price. Obviously, arguments could be made for .15 OR MORE but I like to stick with immediate term goals.

Their business plan is in the hotspot of homeland defense, that is, port security, cargo ship container tracking, explosive detection, GPS monitoring. They have retail stores and lots of ideas for product off shoots, including retail products.

Take a look at their website.

PLNI is a dead stock right now waiting on the audit news.. 2 weeks or less just radar it. They have 2 billion A/S and 1.6 is held by insiders.. Turek and family so only 400 to 420 shares in the float. So R/S isnt definant buy back and retirement is also possable.

HISC is nice but they are not generating any revenue yet or not much.

Actually PLNI has about 35 million in revenues we think thats probably shorting them too..

BTSI just had some HUGE news dont know whats going to happen with that one.. if the stock is worth what they say I will be rich!! Not really but I will make some nice cha ching..

I will jump in PLNI the day the audit is out.. I keep Level 2's of it up at all times just incase!! Its a rollercoaster stock so there is money to make.

Tomorrow looking for BTWO to maybe break out.. If nyinvest would quit trying to buy his own company through stocks he might make some money!!!

Book value is very conservatively 3x PPS.

PLNI has lots of issues people are chosing to ignore. There is probably lots of room to play with it, but I don't see it as a long term holder.

On other fronts, buying tankers, consumers, and non-precious mining.

Selling oil, refiners, steel and financials.

For those new to HISC I found this article written last month by Lawrence C. Oakley at Wallstreetcorner.com very informative if you haven't seen it check it out it's very interesting.
Sorry its long but good.


http://www.wallstreetcorner.com/cs/q205.pdf

Q2 2005 (April, May, June)
SITUATION OF THE MONTH
Homeland Integrated Security Systems Inc.
(Pink Sheets: HISC)


Comment
I interviewed CEO Frank Moody. I haven’t seen a situation with as many very favorable attributes in a long time. In my opinion, this situation is a real winner. In addition to a product & associated service that has huge potential, HISC operates three technology retail stores in the Ashville area. That & some consulting resulted in revenues of $2,061,856 & a net operating profit of $585,666 for the year ended 12/31/2004.
I like situations where there is a base that generates a profit, & at the same time provides the wherewithal to complete & commercialize a set of extremely valuable emerging technology products.

Brief Overview
HISC’s proprietary technology & its rights to use patents to some of the most innovative & sophisticated seaport security products is the basis for my enthusiasm.
To add to that, CEO Moody said: “We are projecting a net pretax profit of $7 million in calendar 2005. Our initial target market is the 361 commercial seaports in the U.S. which are vulnerable to criminal penetration. Our goal for this company is quite simple. Continue to revolutionize Homeland Defense, & provide profits for our shareholders.”

The Technology Background
Moody & his team worked on a real-time tracking system for two years. The result is a product called the Cyber Tracker (it is equipped with a G.P.S. system), & completion of the development of its Third Generation Port Control Access System, just announced on

4/5/2005.
The new access control system will allow HISC to integrate the Cyber Tracker, its dispensing system, radiation detection, & a new software system that will increase security while also increasing commerce. HISC CTO Ian Riley says: “The third generation design will open new opportunities for HISC in the port security arena as well as allowing HISC to have a broader presence in other security markets."
CEO Moody commented: “The newly designed access control system, named "CYBER PASS," is the first system to use access control components while making use of our exclusive, real-time port vehicle tracking system."

My Layman’s Description
I’m sure you may have eaten at an Outback restaurant – they give you a little unit that buzzes you when your table is ready. That unit is about 5” in diameter & an inch thick. HISC’s Cyber Tracker is about the same size.
When a truck enters a seaport carrying a container, or is empty & arriving to pick up a container, the driver is given a Cyber Tracker & told to put it on his dash.
The system that is leased to the port allows the security people to know at all times exactly where the truck is, how fast it’s going, etc. In addition, the driver is photographed & his biometrics measured automatically as his truck is stopped at the gate for a few seconds. The system can be programmed to give a warning if one of several things happen – for example: -- if the truck goes within 1,000 feet of a restricted area, or if it stops for more than a few seconds or minutes, etc. In other words, a driver cannot get away with anything that may possibly be suspicious without being investigated within seconds by one of many security guards.

Another part of HISC’s products test whether radiation is present in a container – a truck with a container aboard that is delivering it to be shipped, is automatically checked as the truck moves away from the gate, or as it approaches the gate. Another radiation sensor can be mounted on the cranes that pick up the containers from the ship – if there is radiation within the container, that container will never touch U.S. soil.
Phase II testing is underway for the Savannah port project, incorporating a significant number of HISC’s tracking devices deployed, both on the port & in the immediate area surrounding the port. Phase II allows HISC to perform long-term data analysis for the port. Chairman James Bullock reports that: “The completion of the entire study will produce a comprehensive white paper outlining the benefits of the Cyber Tracker to the ports." The Savannah, GA port, incidentally, is the nation’s largest port that specializes in containers.

There are many more applications for this technology. For example, if your daughter of 18 years of age is going out for the evening, she can have a Cyber Tracker in her car, or on her person if she is in another car. Because HISC has a relationship with Nextel, her parent can at any time see exactly where she is, how fast the car is driving, where it stops & for how long, etc. If there is anything suspicious, the parents can get in their car & quickly drive to her exact location.
Such a consumer application is totally feasible, because the Cyber Tracker will be available at a price that almost anybody can afford. Obviously, the potential revenue stream is substantial.

Recent News
5/5/2005: A New Milestone in Cell Phone Capability -- HISC entered into an agreement with ActSoft, a Tampa-based GPS software company.
The significance of this move is that it could be the foundation of another milestone in cell phone growth.
Cell phones will be able to have real-time GPS navigation capability – that will accelerate cell phone growth just as some of the other major capability introductions have done.
The agreement calls for ActSoft to provide both web-based & client-based GPS software applications for Homeland Integrated Security Systems, Inc.'s patent pending Cyber Tracker, which will be available for use on wireless networks in more than 170 countries worldwide. HISC will be providing the first 'Push-To-Talk,' tamper-proof Personal Tracking Device (PTD) available on a mass-distribution basis at an affordable cost.
HISC management expects sales to exceed $125 million over the next three years.
Tom Mitchell, CEO of ActSoft stated: “This agreement will allow us to enter the direct retail sales market on a global basis. This is an exciting opportunity for both companies.''
Utilizing ActSoft's Comet Tracker web-based software will allow HISC’s Cyber Tracker to be available through retail outlets, with plans for deployment in North America by Q4 of 2005.

HISC utilizes Motorola's newest board, the (MOT) IO-200, in its Cyber Tracker. In addition to ActSoft's web-based Comet Tracker software, the multi-platform board will allow HISC to begin International retail sales in 2006. ActSoft, Inc. is a developer of transportation management & wireless GPS tracking software. Its products include Comet Tracker, a mobile management solution that tracks time, tasks, jobs, & workers using GPS-enabled cell phones. Check www.comettracker.com.

5/3/2005: HISC completed Phase II of the Savannah Port Project. HISC CRO Ian Riley said: “Phase II was designed to test system capacity and long term data collection, as well as hardware and software performance. Phase II has exceeded all our expectations.''
The project is being conducted in conjunction with Georgia Tech & the Maritime Logistics Innovation Center (MLIC). It consists of three phases. Phase I, which was completed, was designed to confirm service performance & satellite strength. Phase III will consist of GIS mapping & software finalizations. It will incorporate tracking devices deployed both on the port & in the immediate area surrounding the port.
Following Phase III, HISC will participate with Georgia Tech & MLIC in documenting the results in a “White Paper,'' which will be distributed to over 350 major ocean ports, & over 175 major commercial river ports, as well as major airports & other secured facilities.

HISC COO Fred Wicks stated: “Our experience on the Garden City Port has demonstrated that our hardware & software systems will meet or exceed all expectations. The strength of the tests has proven that we have a mature concept that can be applied in a variety of markets. We expect to rapidly expand our marketing efforts & dramatically increase sales.''

4/28/2005: HISC will apply to the OTC Bulletin Board. CEO Frank A. Moody, II said: “Our SEC attorney& auditors have completed the SB-2 & will be making the application within the next few weeks. We expect this will enhance shareholder value as we become fully reporting & begin to file full disclosure documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission.”

Financial Status
HISC’s year-end, unaudited financials for the period ended 12/31/2004 reported a net profit of over $550,000 for the year-end. Sales for the year were $2,061,856 with gross profit of $1,585,051. Expenses for the year were less than $1,000,000 & the company reported a net operating profit of $585,666.
Recommendation

I recommend HISC for both mid-term & long-term appreciation potential. I suggest that you carefully look into it – my opinion is that it has one of the greatest long-term appreciation potentials of any I’ve written about in the past 20 years.

HISC is interesting, but there isn't anything new there. They are just exploiting fear with old technology. There is a reason they named themselves what they did.

They are about the 3rd company that I know of that has tried this stuff at the ports or otherwise.

Ports are an interesting place. Lots of stuff going on and in the bigger ports, the traffic is incredible. It would be like saying that you can track every pedestrian in times square. That would be neat on the surface, but who or what is going to watch everyone and determine when they are out of parameters? What about the guy that is stealing a can from the port. He will look, behave and move just like a legitimate worker.

As for security, there are already radiation and x-ray scanning systems in place both in ports and at border crossings. The first problem is volume. Millions of cans are moved through ports per year. If they can't keep track of them, they can't scan them all. The x-ray and radiation scans don't work well. In fact, the radiation units pretty much only pick up kitty litter. If you want to smuggle radioactive materials into the country, put them inside a can of kitty litter.

The x-ray units aren't much better. Expensive and ineffective. A scan can sometimes take 30 minutes. When you have hundreds to thousands of cans moving through a choke point per hour, 30 minutes for security per can is impossible. The number of scanners to make it work would be in the hundreds to thousands. Think about a lot big enough to park 200 tractor trailers along with enough support people to manage them all. The cost would be crippling.

HISC also has some pretty small numbers financially. I don't think they will scale to what people think they will. They aren't the only player and they don't tell you that. There is a local company near me that uses radio trackers and has better financials than HISC and they are a 2 man operation working out of a home garage servicing only about a 50 mile radius.

NYINVEST, Why hide radiation units in kitty litter if the radiation unit will alert on it? Is it because the inspector will say "Oh it is only kitty litter." and disregard it, or did you mean to say radiation units don't pick up kitty litter? Just not sure how you meant that statement to be interpreted. Not that I plan to do anything like that, just curious. Thanks.

actually, you are very much mistaken about HISC. It is very true that there are similar port security systems currently in place. However, the Department of Homeland Security determined that these "current" systems are ineffective and have allocated an additional $30 billion to develop and aquire new systems. The systems HISC are developing are much better in detection and tracking than what is currently out there.

It is true that there are many GPS tracking devises. However, HISC is the only tamper-proof one on the market, which means that nobody can interfere with the system. This is very important in dealing with national security. In addition, there is no current GPS tracker with a delay of less than 20 seconds. This is very poor in determining exact real-time data for the location of objects. The GPS devise from HISC has demonstrated a delay of less than 2 seconds which is very effective in sensitive areas.

The number one reason why HISC is so good is the management. The RETIRED half their shares. They hires two former nextel exectutives to run the company and they just hired a former G.W.Bush G8 executive advisor to be their government and international marketing adviser in DC. Not only do they have connections in homeland security, this gives credibility to this company.

One last thing. I think it is a poor choice of words to say that this company is praying on peoples fear. They are trying to develop systems to defend your freedom and you attack them for it. Don't bite the hand that feeds you, esp when it protects you from people wanting to kill you!

Re: kitty litter. Yes, when a load of litter comes through and sets the sensors off, they open the back doors look and see that there is litter in there, maybe sample a bag or two and then let it through.

As for HISC. I'm going to stand by my statement that they chose their name because of the association with fear. Homeland security isn't their product. They don't even market it as that. Their main product is a tracking system.

If you want a little more homework, look up a bunch of stuff on Mark IV industries.

Tamper proof directional tracking devices are old news and have been in use for a very long time. I have a stack of them in my drawer here now for my vehicles. They cost $8 for a transponder. $12 if I wanted waterproof ones. They are also cheap and down to a home use level. I can buy a complete system for my home for less than $400 to track my kids, pets, cars and even garbage cans. They are useless for what they are claiming they are good for in a port. They work if your bad guy comes in through the gate, gets his transponder and leaves it in the vehicle that he is using to do bad things. Their system doesn't fulfill C-TPAT and that is what the ports need to achieve. The system, as described, is great for keeping tabs on honest people and that is all.

I've been in ports and railheads. This system is useless. It may sell because they are exploiting the Homeland Security aspect. There is a lot of "free" money for security out there right now and a lot of people that will do anything just to say they are doing something and they have that money to use.

I've been working with intermodal units for 20 years and seen this all before. It doesn't work. It could be a useful component in a comprehensive system, but that is a long ways off. Port security isn't any better than it was 10 years ago. There would need to be a structural change to the fundamental ways the ports operate and that won't happen any time soon as they can't afford to slow down or absorb changes.

HISC may do well. The fact that they are struggling up through the pinks says something. I don't believe that any pink sheet has their act together, but some mature. HISC might be a half way decent company some day, that is very possible.

To those of you who bashed HISC, sorry about your loss. HISC just went from 0.023 to 0.13 in just under 2 weeks. TNOG, however, has crashed below 0.025 from 0.05.

I expect some consolidation for HISC to around 0.08-9, then the next run will happen. This stock went from 0.004 to 0.05 to 0.023, then from 0.023 to 0.13. After is holds around 0.08-9, watch out!

Congratulations on the gain. That still doesn't make it a stock I like nor make it a good company. That's the beauty of the market. I don't like GOOG and I don't like HISC and they both have performed well.

I'm sticking to my regular basket of stocks I know and understand. I also have positioning issues with the micro stuff. I have to change the way I work and that can be as bad as picking bad stocks.

This week I went long BRK.A and IP and sold out of ELN, HEC, AXL and GM.

Korean steel is next on the chopping block and I'm starting to accumulate non-precious metals. Got a big stake in AA and HSVLY and looking at building on my position in RTP. I'm reinvesting dividends and 1/2 profits in VLCCs. NAT, FRO and GMR on the dips.

154.5 and counting...

Generating $300K+ per month and will more than double income producing assets by year end.

Book value is very conservatively 3x PPS.

PLNI has lots of issues people are chosing to ignore. There is probably lots of room to play with it, but I don't see it as a long term holder.

On other fronts, buying tankers, consumers, and non-precious mining.

Selling oil, refiners, steel and financials.

Long Australian dollar, Thai Baht and Rubles

Short Euros, Yen, and Hungarian Forint.
