AEM is up almost 5% today, so I assume you're happy!

Yes, and so was RBY but they are fairly volatile and may be down that
much tomorrow. AEM is a very solid company and the stock was over $50
not that long ago. It will go back there after the present gold
slump settles out. Meanwhile you can get a nice secure 3% dividend
while you wait - not a bad deal.



On nothing but a hunch I bought a bunch of shares of a 3D Printer
Company about 10 months ago. I got in at $26 a share. It floundered
around for a while then started going up. Hit $59 a share just before
the government shutdown. Started dropping based on government default
fears, so I put a "Stop Loss" order in at $52.

It dipped below $52 and sold.

Government opened for business again.

Stock closed today at $79.

Damn!

Meanwhile, I also purchased some shares in another company that uses 3D
printing technology to print human tissue. Small, relatively new
company, but fascinating technology. Gross as it may sound, the
potential exists to actually "print" replacement livers, kidneys, even
hearts from "ink" derived from the patient's own tissue. Problems with
compatibility and/or rejection of the replacement organ could be
eliminated and the replacement would be a real, living organ.

It's stock price has doubled since I bought it. I am going to hold onto
it for the long haul.

So what's the name of the second company? Sounds like something on one of the doctor shows my wife
was watching. They had the contraption in an operating room. That's when I went to bed.
