Today's chart...
Nice record
I would be invested in gold, as gold is a safe haven in the face of potential disaster to the euro. And if the euro rises, gold will go up too.
When home prices start to rise and unemployment falls, home builders will be in demand. Best to get in them now before they run too high.
So gold, banks and home builders "in fact, real estate in general" is where I'm looking to invest for both short and long term profits. That's where my focus is currently.

VGZ  Vista Gold Corp. Announces Closing of Private Placement... 



DENVER, Oct 22, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Vista Gold Corp. (tsx & nyse amex equities:VGZ) ("Vista" or the "Corporation") announces that it has closed its previously announced private placement of special warrants ("Special Warrants"). The Corporation issued an aggregate of 14,666,739 Special Warrants, for gross proceeds of U.S.$33,733,500. The proceeds from the financing have been placed into an escrow account with a Canadian financial institution and upon receipt of Shareholders' Approval (as defined below), the proceeds will be released to the Corporation and used for the following purposes: (i) to repurchase the U.S.$23 million principal amount of outstanding 10% senior secured convertible notes due March 4, 2011, (ii) the advancement of the Mt. Todd project, and (iii) for general corporate purposes.

The Special Warrants will automatically be exercised, for no additional consideration, for one common share of the Corporation (a "Common Share") and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant") upon receipt of Vista's shareholders' approval of the private placement (the "Shareholders' Approval"). Each Warrant will be exercisable over a five-year period from the closing of the private placement, to purchase one Common Share (a "Warrant Share") at a purchase price of U.S.$3.50 during the first year, U.S.$4.00 during the second year, U.S.$4.50 during the third year and U.S.$5.00 thereafter until the expiry of the Warrant. If the closing price of the Common Shares on the NYSE Amex Equities Stock Exchange is at least 35% above the current Exercise Price of the Warrants for a period of 15 consecutive trading days, then the Corporation will have the option to request that the Warrants be exercised. If the Warrants are not exercised within 25 business days following this request, they will be cancelled. The Corporation anticipates requesting the Shareholders' Approval at a Special Shareholders' Meeting to be held prior to the end of this year.

In addition, Vista issued a total of 652,175 Special Warrants and 652,175 compensation warrants (each compensation warrant being exercisable for two years from the closing of the private placement, to acquire one Common Share at a price of U.S.$2.30) to the agents and finders that provided services in connection with the financing.

The above-described securities have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws of any state of the United States, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) or a person in the United States absent registration under the U.S. Securities Act or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements and in accordance with all applicable state securities laws of any state of the United States.
