Top Bullboards post: “I think the Kinross association is overplayed until they make another investment or jv on BCG property. I haven't seen any evidence that Kinross is still here in any substantial way. 2.7M shares traded at noon says the momo players have arrived and anyone with a pent up desire to exit could have done so.” From RetiringYoung on the BCGold Corp. (TSX: V.BCG, Stock Forum) board.

Word on Wall Street
“Our target for the S&P 500 is 1,250 to 1,300 for the end of the year, and it looks like we had a pretty constructive selloff, where it was contained and rational, up until last week, where we had a lot of emotional selling to get to the low. It’s not likely that we end up at that level again anytime soon without any additional signs of weakness in the economy,” said Stuart Freeman, chief equity strategist at Wells Fargo Advisors, in an interview with MarketWatch.

Toronto Stock Exchange closes higher, but near lowest level of the session
DJIATSX VentureToronto & New York (The Canadian Press) - The Toronto Stock Exchange finished Wednesday in positive territory but near its lowest level of the day, as investors speculated about what mixed forecasts from major U.S. companies will mean for the economy.
The S&P/TSX composite index was up 48.9 points at 12,579.61. It had posted triple-digit gains to break through the 12,710 mark in early trading, but saw a sharp decline around noon, when Wall Street swung into the red.
The Dow Jones industrial average added 4.28 points to 11,410.21. The S&P 500 eked out 1.12 points to 1,193.88. But the Nasdaq composite index lost 11.97 points to 2,511.48, with computer giant Dell Inc. contributing to much of the decline on a weak revenue forecast.
