How much of that gain is NCX? 
damn… most. shut up Ali! Opti has done me well as well. Basically all my wins come from oil sands juniors…
I assume all you day traders are posting after-tax returns, right?
Did you invest in UTS before the hostile bid?

I’ve been peeling off positions on every up day for the last 2 weeks. Up to about 20% cash right now.
