Gold Reserve, Crystallex Jump on Government Permits
Tuesday evening I figured something was up as I received a number of e-mails on this situation.
As for Crystallex (KRY), I suppose it will soon get its permit as well, and the share price will zoom. I expect it will move even further north after one of at least six mining companies starts to bid for control. But, that’s nothing new.

Early yesterday, Jock had sent along a note that “FYI, re KRY, Financial Times columnist James Altucher reported today that "high quality mutual fund Jennison Natural Resources is accumulating the stock (last year, Yahoo Finance lists their return as 28%).”
By 11:24am ET yesterday, GRZ was up +49 % and KRY was up 19%, with incredible volume on KRY.

Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know Newsby SA Editor Rachael Granby- Bank trio becomes duo. Wells Fargo (WFC) will become the largest U.S. bank by branches with its bid for Wachovia (WB), after Citigroup (C) withdrew from compromise negotiations late yesterday on concerns about the quality of some of Wachovia's assets. Wells Fargo, with a bid valued at $11.4B, expects the purchase to be completed by the end of the year, and denies it will have to absorb assets shakier than originally thought.
- Government considers next steps. As the financial crisis continues to worsen, the U.S. government is considering two dramatic steps to turn around, or at least slow, the damage: guaranteeing billions of dollars in bank debt and temporarily insuring all U.S. bank deposits. The moves, which would mark the government's most extensive intervention to date, are in discussion stages only.
- Credit stays frozen. As frozen credit markets refuse to thaw, the cost of default protection on corporate bonds reaches new global records amid investor concerns the credit crisis will trigger corporate failures as companies struggle to finance their businesses. Interbank lending remains limited, and borrowing from the Fed's expanded discount window continued its trend of setting new highs every week, as the total daily average rose to $420.2B vs. $367.8B last week.

3M (MMM) -- The moment this stock starts yielding 5%, I'm a buyer. Until then, keep your powder dry.Bearish Calls:Computer Sciences (CSC) -- This is a company that was going to be bought, but they passed up the chance. Now I don't want to buy it."Email continues...

Mar 29 08:45 AMThe fact that KRY bounces around on speculation and rumor shows the lack of any true value. Next week Chavez can give a speech about nationalizations, and the stock will drop by a third. This is not investing, it is gambling, pure and simple.
On March 13, Cara announced that he would have nothing further to say about this stock: "all I am saying is this company is dead to me." When it blips up on rumor and speculation, as it did yesterday, he's back to his old trick of pumping it and trying to take credit. A typical dishonest Cara move. I believe that he's doing this in order to give himself a "track record" to attract business to his newly-announced Bahamas-based investment advisory service. If you're sucker enough to entrust this man with your money, then be prepared to lose it all. Give it a nice party before you ship it across the Florida Straits, where it can finance a retirement lifestyle for a blogger with a history of bad financial and market calls.
The "dead to me" quote:

Mar 29 08:50 AMBut Cara's real quote was almost the same thing - on March 13 Cara said "I have written my last blog on Crystallex because I am not going to join the circus."
But the circus is back in town, and the carny named Cara is back at work.

Dec 11 04:01 AMIt is very easy to predict sence 75% is owned by individuals and only 25% by institution. The stock behaves as if mostly owned by new investors therefore making huge gaps on news with large volume. I would wager that I will double my investment when the permit is issued. There is only one key to this stock, buy when nonthing new has happen for a while (like now when it is below $2.5) and sale on the news (such as the permit being issued).
What other penny stock makes it this easy to double in such a short period of time?
