...this upward retrace is very much overdue!

Hi mate. How’s things? I actually use the share code filter to save PXS clogging up my whole system. I can see tears there, before long.

..their very healthy cash balance. They also seem to be doing a good job in streamlining their operations

“Shares in Griffin Mining dropped by 3.25p to 35.5p as the group announced its results for the six months to 30th June 2009. Operations were suspended for most of this period at Caijiaying, which showed a pre-tax loss of 1.35 million dollars compared to a profit in the first six months to 30th June 2008 of 13 million dollars. Operations were suspended at Caijiaying from January to may at the beginning of this year inclusive to allow for upgrade and maintenance work. 48,129 tonnes of low grade ore were processed in the first two months of 2009 from stockpiles mined and hauled in 2008. 33,152 tonnes of ore was processed in June following the recommencement of operations. In light of the fall in commodity prices in 2008/2009, a comprehensive review of costs and procedures was undertaken during the suspension of operations with a view to see if it was possible to further reduce the already low operating costs at Caijiaying. This included the opportunity to renegotiate terms with contractors and to retrench superfluous personnel. As at 30th June 2009 the company held cash balances of 64.5 million dollars. "These results, for the first six months of 2009 were to be expected considering Caijiaying was shut down during most of the reporting period. Much has been achieved in the first six months of 2009 to improve operations at Caijiaying," stated Chairman Mladen Ninkov.”

No! Unfortunately - in the final analysis- the bottom line is profit, and always will be!! ATB.

"High street pub chain JD Wetherspoon will announce its preliminary results on Friday. With the opening of 33 new pubs since January 2009 and six more openings currently being planned, Wetherspoons seems to be benefiting from its resilience during the economic downturn. Because energy, labour and marketing costs for the new pubs have been less than originally expected, Wetherspoons has announced an anticipated 10 per cent higher operating margins than originally expected. As a result of its success, the company has said it is optimistic concerning the prospects of Wetherspoons in the coming year. Since the beginning of the financial year, like-for-like sales have increased by 1.2 per cent and overall sales have risen by 5.2 per cent thanks to consistent sales and the new openings. Similarly, in the fourth quarter, like-for-like sales increased by 3.1 per cent."

GB - because of GB - is bankrupt :{ ATB

I’ve made a bit in property, in the past, but have been renting for quite a few years. I’m expecting a really big correction, yet to come [it’s all about affordability versus debt], as all the unsustainable government meddling dwindles. I’m still very bearish about retail; real estate [and all the peripherals]; hotel/pub/hospitality; and media/computer related. ATB PS I note as I type that Wall St is playing it's usual silly-bily stuff - unreal and surreal!! .
