Not in the IRA, cost basis $4.58, but in the other accounts yes and I've lightened up quite a bit and took profits all the way from $126.00 and I frequently short against my own positions particularly on days like today. Good macro call but the fundamentals of the company were never in doubt. Without the banking crisis you would've been toast. So, it would've been much better to short all the banks. Also, check out who was the first person in the blogosphere to do the math on the triple long ETFs. Cramer? Actually I was a seller on the way down.

]]> Comment on Chinese Small-Cap Company Feature: Sinovac Reports 606% Net Income Increase On H1N1 Vaccine by AGORACOM http://blog.agoracom.com/2009/11/18/chinese-small-cap-company-feature-sinovac-reports-606-net-income-increase-on-h1n1-vaccine/comment-page-1/#comment-7513 AGORACOM Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:43:59 +0000 http://blog.agoracom.com/?p=3710#comment-7513 Hi, Richard and thanks for the great post. I just stumbled upon Sinovac, so I can't tell you specifically why the price has dropped to this current range. I feel fortunate to have discovered it after the pull back. Having said that, I can definitely see how SVA could have been driven to $9+ by speculators and hype around H1N1. If the problem got out of hand, companies like SVA could have just taken off. Fortunately for the rest of society, that hasn't happened and concerns about it appear to have stabilized. That probably accounts for the recent share price dip. If news about H1N1 heats up, I'm willing to bet Sinovac shoots right back up again. Regards, George Hi, Richard and thanks for the great post.

It is my understanding this company has most of the market for H1N1 in China. China having a population of over 1 billion and only 6 million does to date have been produced, there is certainly a short fall in innoculating the population. Just have furnished vaccine for another diagnosis, the question is, why is this stock selling off? It just moved to the NASDAQ, it has requested additional shares and the it looks like the 3rd quarter will double the estimates. Again, why? Thanking you for your comments.

]]> Comment on AGORACOM Capital Offers Private Placement Opportunity To Retail Investors by Dave http://blog.agoracom.com/2009/11/14/agoracom-capital-offers-private-placement-opportunity-to-retail-investors/comment-page-1/#comment-7430 Dave Sat, 14 Nov 2009 16:56:53 +0000 http://blog.agoracom.com/?p=3702#comment-7430 George I am really enjoying your Friday discussions with Peter, they are very enlightening. But I must say yesterdays discussion left me a little confused re where gold is heading in value. You asked the question if gold would get to $2000 as Rogers quotes or $5000 as McEwan states. Peter's response was he thought between $1200 - $1300. Is this his/yours short term, medium or long term estimate for gold? Because he talked about the mania not being in the precious metals yet and yet he said if we reached the levels Rogers and McEwan talked about it would not be a pretty sight in our world. That being the case we are almost at the $1200 level in Canada right now and there is no mania to my knowledge. Please enlighten this "cowboy" fan re above. Thanks so much.
