Twittering is an emerging new form of communication on the Internet that changes the expectations associated with other forms of communication and yet it’s fundamentally different than blogging.
Twitter provides a platform for dialog that blogging doesn’t and it’s available in so many places via IM, mobile text messaging, or the Web that it induces a different sort of behavior. Twitter encourages people to adapt and invent behavior to suit their needs.
As a forward thinking company here at Lionsgate Metals, we have adopted the platform to keep shareholders and interested parties current with recent news and events regarding the world of copper and copper investing.
Many investors are having a very difficult time coping with the current market volatility. This article was published in August, 2002 but a lot of what it describes still holds true Here goes:
(From: “The Zeal Speculation and Investment” website – Adam Hamilton – August 2, 2002)
“…All kinds of markets, from stocks to gold, have been whacked with enormous volatility thus far… It has really been exhilarating to watch the crazy action unfold, although definitely frustrating to trade at times. It never ceases to amaze me that the farther we trudge into the belly of this whole bubble experience beast, the more surreal the whole episode becomes.
It’s almost as if the Great Bear is patiently and systematically dismantling all the conventional wisdom accumulated over two long decades of virtually uninterrupted bull markets. Cherished old axioms, such as the widespread belief that summer is a slow trading season bereft of volatility and heart-stopping moves, are being shattered at frightening speeds…
…Volatility is a very useful concept to understand and to track as it has an impressive record of accurately marking tradable turning points, particularly oversold bounces to the upside. When markets fall, volatility gradually increases until a climax is reached, an incredibly violent day or a few where prices are caught in an epic tug of war between frantic sellers and bargain-hunting buyers.”
