lech walesa

i have met a great visionary 2day :)

former polish revolutionary leader of the movement solidarity / solidarnosc (which started in stettin / szczecin in 1980) and later polish president lech walesa hold a speach in the emperor's hall of  munich's residenz, the place where bavarian kings lived for thousands of years ...

lets share few notes, so u can create your own ideas abt the highly interesting evening ;-):

• faith, visions, freedom, solidarity, revolution, great sense of humor, nobel prize for peace
• the polish pope john paul ll was a major hope for poland and a force which has brought millions of polish people together and actually enabled the revolution ... 
• soviet union, communist party ... radish-like communists in eastern europe (only from outside red ;-) ... 
• helmut kohl, hans-dietrich gentscher, berlin wall, mikhail gorbachev ... btw all 'professional' politicians and other leaders/kings (both western and eastern) didnt believe the system change is possible/probable, theyve just rational counted the number of tanks, soldiers, rockets etc and compared that to walesa's vision of change ... thx goodness, all of them were wrong!!! even the so lauded gorbachev told german politicians only 1 month before the berlin wall has fallen forever, that they can start talking abt 'the wall' in 100 years. how wrong was he, my dear!
• egypt +  tunisia + arabic poverty & social disparity driven revolutions
• great chance 4 freedom + peaceful development in our generation without state boarders, badly needed consumers instead of enemies (a new era, isnt it?), globalization ... 
• grotesque western democracy, politicians led/driven not by visions but by television ... 
• common values, united europe led by germany (btw, in germany there isnt a single person who whould publicly speak abt leadership or even think abt stuff like that! at least ive never heard abt person/leader like that cos the hitler era collective guilt feeling/believes last still to heavily over germany!)
• even in western world there is soo much to do (so many jobs meanigful) like eg better multi-layer roads without crossroads and without traffic jams etc
• dont mix politics with religion, ...
• horrible classical music + yummy finger food + drinks ....

what abt my own resume? let's dream how the WORLD COULD LOOK LIKE and let's make that vision true. if people united cannot be defeated :-)

.... and much much more .... comimg soon or never ...

#6 (giving advice 2 homo sapiens (via polish-german interpreters as well) how to create a better, free, peaceful, prosperous, fair, SOLIDARY WORLD!)

what abt the book value of a company? i've bought 2 more commodity stocks 2day

i couldn't resist the temptation and bought (still cheap enough ) two more commodity stocks before these crazy price jumps today:

• cbh resources - base metals, gold in australia
• cardero resources - iron ore, copper, precious metals in peru, usa, argentina

folks, cardero's market capitalization is approx $56m. they've sold one of their iron ore properties in peru to a chinese investor for $100m and will receive the remaining $88m soon. what about working capital, book value, etc? they will not throw all that money out of window or gamble in casinos like dave & shoot recently ( lol), will they?

it sounds like a sound investment 2 me. i think benjamin graham & warren buffett would be very proud of me .

addendum, december 19, 2009: just wanna borrow CAD 87.341 million, who's gonna help me?

folks, stock markets are sooo crazy, you know? there are days i don't believe my eyes! do u know what do i do then?

well, i watch the unexpected stock price quote, look 4 possible company news, read the company message twice, look at the quote again, read the message again, sometime even try to put some funny numbers into my calculator (and always throw the calculator away as it neither gives me a result nor an answer as i'm prolly too stupid to use it anyway), then take a walk, drink next cup of coffee, watch the new quote after returning back ... btw, you can call yourself 'happy' because you don't need 2 hear how ugly do i swear abt the sooo stupid homo sapiens financialis on days like that

i know, dear readers of my blog, you still remeber these strange cardero resources guys with all their strange iron ore, gold, copper projects in peru/usa/argentina, don't you?

well, the current quote was abt +25% today. me, happy, thought: hell, they've found the next eldorado or got a bulk of money from FED for ZERO interest rate or BOTH! forget it, nothing like that happened! what was the market mover 2day then? yep, the chinese partners have paid the remaining USD 88 million (USD is correct!) on their major peruvian iron ore property. hmmm, of course they did, why shouldn't they? well, the stock closed trading @ its day low, which was +14.62%, anyway.

we've spoken abt all these book value / cash reserves / etc. things above. hmmmm, what's your guess concerning the current market capitalization of cardero? ... you are right, it is only CAD 87.341 million. again, CAD is correct! also i don't see the current cad/usd ratio i can tell you the buck is even stronger than the loonie at the moment! (i have both currencies as usd/eur + cad/eur pairs in my watch list, because i do sometimes compare (~not compute! still the same calculator issue) the prices of my u.s. + canadian stocks in germany and america, you know?)

UNBELIEVABLE! the've just got USD 88 million + still have plenty of cash from the 1st rate payment of USD 12m + mineral deposits in peru/usa/argentina + investments in other companies like the 2 which i've posted above + petty cash + whatever else they own/posses !!! do you call markets RATIONAL?

well, lets borrow the antic CAD 87.341 million + buy the whole company + enjoy the UNBELIEVABLE!-assets!!!

hell, hell, hell! this investing stuff is sooooooo easy :-)

thx, mr. market, thx!

ps: does someone have the telephone number of the money-printing-wonder bernanke? of course, just in case there will be not enough money to borrow inside the blogger community :-)
