Trading Post (Messi edition)


In just under 15 minutes time the biggest match of the year kicks off in Rome with Barcelona taking on Manchester United in the Champion's League final. I, along with 80% of the continent, will be cheering on Barsa and hoping Lionel Messi shows that Portuguese git exactly who da man.

Candente (DNT.to) up 15% at C$0.42 and also doing great business on the Lima exchange. The time is nigh for the spinoff.

Vena Resources (VEM.to) down a penny at $0.32 in Canada but also going great guns in Lima with 168,000 shares traded. When this thing suddenly pops 20% or 30% I'll be the one with the smartalec grin on his face going "toldya so toldya so".

Guyana Gold up 1.5% at $3.85 and the beat goes on. This thing has been unstoppable in the last couple of weeks. Templeton happy. Sprott happy. Otto happy.

Rocmec (RMI.v) up 14.3% at 8c. I've mentioned this microdot stock on the blog a few times and it's still on my radar. It's been bouncing around in the 7c to 9c range in the last few weeks but I note some interesting insider buying activity recently, with headhoncho Brisebois buying into the company's own financing placement to the tune of 100,000 units. Not the worst place for some über-risk capital that's for sure, but I couldn't personally get comfy and buy until I know more about this thermal fragmentation technology thingy. It's intruiging and if they ever give me the chance I'd like to check it out in situ. Waddya say, Stella?

UPDATE: Half-time, Barcelona 1, Man Utd 0 and things going well so far. Here's a great shot of Messi in full flow during the first half.
UPDATE 2: And this is Messi about two seconds after scoring Barsa's second (a header!). It's all over, 2-0 Messi whups world and the footballing gods smile upon us.
