should we invest or not?

The Australian market is rising and it seems that the recovery is on its way, however the American unemployment figures (or Australias) may not be as good as they seem. Therefore the result may not be as rosy as suggested.They may be counting part timers and casuals as "real jobs".
There may be more pain to come. BUT if you buy wisely now, you should make money in the longer term.

I bought ABY for 12 cents in April and now they are about 79 cents. Their price 12 months ago was 2.30.
I also purchased MCW for 17 cents and they are now around 56 cents. NWT is rising and at 7 cents should give a profit in the next 12 months. There are heaps of others. it's just a matter of being able to buy and hold, without using a margin loan. But it might be a rough and scary ride, so don't invest all your eggs in one basket and only buy minimal amounts.
and don't forget..I could be wrong. so do your own homework. make your own decisions. as the great guru,WarrenBuffet says, "eat your own cooking"

there are opportunities everywhere

My last blog post said to take time off and hibernate. But there are opportunities everywhere.
I was browsing an old 2003 mag and noticed MBP Metabolic Pharm - I investigated and yesterday decided that because their spread (that is the difference between the highest price and the lowest price over past 52 weeks was 16c-3 cents) was good because it was currently at or near the lowest price for the year and the company had other pluses - like 17 mill cash in bank and no debt...I bought a small parcel at .04 cents. hoping to sell half at a 50% profit before 6 mths. Anyway, that was yesterday 17th and today they have a big announcement and are rising already...
They have bought a company from CSIRO which makes a biodegradeable polymer for medical use and it will be finalised in three months time.... how about that?
go to asx.com.au code MBP, read the announcement and make up your own mind!
