  Saturday, September 30, 2006 3:57 AM

  Intuition can be a funny thing sometimes. Over the last three or four days I kept stumbling upon articles on Image Resources (IMA) and their heavy minerals discovery at Cooljarloo.

  I was expecting the market to retrace a little today after witnessing yesterday's almost 100 point gain. That didn't happen and it probably indicates the almost sudden change in sentiment that the slide in oil prices has created, both here and in the US Read More Posted by crazyjim 0 Comments Go to top

• Nexus Energy

  Wednesday, September 27, 2006 6:47 AM

  Nexus Energy (NXS) is a stock that a forum regular had identified as a possible mover. I had a quick look and then took no notice. That is until today's spike in price.

• Online Evolution

  Monday, September 25, 2006 12:42 PM
