GregFokker Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Despite the carnage in mining stocks, CEF, which holds physical gold and silver in a vault, is only down a penny. CEF tends to trade on the GOLD and SILVER: CDN DOLLAR ratio. It's a tricky one to play. I sold it in disgust days before it bonered unexpectedly to the upside.

Drano Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Sledd, CECO freaking out after hours, all over the map. Also posted on IDS (you're not having an acid flashback): As per our discussions of lack of safety with money market funds: I have discovered that Waterhouse does have an FDIC insured account that you can get into if you jump through a few hoops. If anyone knows of other brokerages that likewise have FDIC insured money market accounts, I'd appreciate if you could post or PM me. Yes, Yobob and others, I know that that's not necessarily going to pay off either, but it's a little safer than discovering that your money market account is suddenly worth 20% less, with no recourse.

TIA Sorry Drano, but an FDIC insurance on a money market does not protect you from losses. It would still be perfectly legal and not an insurance issue if the value of your money market fell below the $1.00 level. It only guarantees, in case of a default by the bank, that you will get back what you deserve up to $100,000. The only "safe" place to put your money, up to $100,000, is in a plain old savings account or a guaranteed CD. Granted there are very few instances of a money market account falling below the $1.00 level, but in this environment anything is possible.

Shares of Seattle-based Washington Mutual ended Monday's regular session up 13 cents at $41.31. The stock was halted for trade after the closing bell.

lucid and confused Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 A good sympathy play with WM would be DRL Doral Financial down in Puerto Rico. However the company always states that business is doing super duper whenever WM warns. Sooner or later that egg will crack if you think about it. There are no jobs in PR yet housing costs are climbing at an astronomical rate?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
