My remaining options in Infospace (INSP) are currently worth:

-116,388.00

(Actually they're long gone but I still like to track their theoretical value in relation to the strike price.)

Up almost 15%. I will add to some of my current holdings, Blue Pearl Mining BLE in Toronto - world's largest molybdenum producer as current world supply is pretty tight.

Hud Bay Minerals HBM - mainly a zinc producer with tight world supply.

Cemex - CX #3 in the world in cement production, waiting to see if they are going to buy Rinker before adding more.

I think oil and gas stocks remain cheap. In the latter half of the year maybe add some oil services stocks which have been pounded. The same for U.S. homebuilders and suppliers - ie D R Horton, Lennar, Home Depot, Lowes.

I think Tech and Health Care also look good.

on the whole, i think i came out just short of breaking even. this has been my first year investing. i did really well with cell biotech when the avian flu hit korea. i sold it at +50%. we almost got greedy and let it ride for another day, but we opted not to be greedy and sold it. about thirty minutes later, it went down down down. that felt good. it's still pretty low, and i might buy back into it after i get my belco mess sorted out (see below).
i'm still holding on to my original shares of SM entertainment, which is pissing around at about -20% for the time being. but what really hit me hard were my shares of belco plummeting something like 75% overnight (and i mean literally overnight). i'm still unclear as to how that was possible. but i've been buying it ever since it collapsed, and i've got it up to a respectable -28% now. it's finally crawling back up now, and i'm still buying it, so i might actually be able to sell it at some point this year.

if any of you are trading through samsungfn.com, please pm me, as i've got some technical questions i'd like to ask you.

And that's why I stay away from the hot stocks. You can almost predict when they will crash...almost.

Daewoo Chosun (a shipping company) up 30%. Hate to admit I bought on a tip.
Anyone have a good source of research for Kospi listed shares?
