Quest Achieves Full Production at Pond Creek
Tags: QMNM, QMNM.ob, Quest and Coal, Quest Minerals and Mining Corp
Quest Minerals & Mining Inc. (OTCBB: QMNM) just announced that its Pond Creek coal mine, which was expected to reach full production mode of 1,500 - 2,500 raw tons per day within the next month, has done so today and now expects to mine between 1,000 - 1,300 raw tons per shift (two shifts will soon be working).
Since there has been so much speculation surrounding Quest’s ability to mine coal, today we’ll let you hear it straight from the horses mouth:
Everett Hampton, President of Whitestar Mining, LLC., commented, “We have turned the corner and have run the last three shifts with great success. Until yesterday, we had limited places to cut coal as we were only mining three (3) headings wide. Now that the engineers have finally calculated the proper directional coordinates, we are able to spread our working section out across the full seven (7) headings. Yesterday, we brought our operational status into full production and cut coal for a full eight hours. Having access to the full seven (7) headings allows us to meet our necessary tonnage requirements. The coal yard was so full yesterday, that we almost ran out of room to store it. Running coal is easy, compared to the rehab work we just completed. We are proud of where we are now and the amount of volume we can produce. Our production goals have since been raised up to 1,000 to 1,300 raw tons per shift. Any coal miner would tell you that this is a very good mine now.”
Eugene J. Chiaramonte, Jr., President of Quest Minerals and Mining Corp., stated, “It appears that Whitestar is more capable than ever. They have managed to break all previous single day production records in just their first day of full production! We are very excited for what the future has in store for this company.”
Simply put, this is a major step in the right direction for Quest. Now in full production mode, the company can begin fulfilling purchase orders and taking advantage of the red hot coal market. Management appears to be executing on outlined initiatives even fast than publicly stated. If that’s not a bullish sign of what’s to come than I don’t know what is. Who knows? Maybe we will see production numbers sooner than the end of the quarter.

Your trading progress can be easily tracked. In fact, it is black and white, right in front of you all the time. As tempting as it is to track every trade, like balancing a checkbook, it will work against your long term goal of unemotional, decisive, and successful trading.
Think macro, not micro.
One of the biggest challenges we face as traders is the reining of our emotions in times of decision. Trading is a statistics game and emotional trading is far from logical and almost always costly. That being said, evaluating your progress is, naturally, going to generate some emotions.
Let me give you an example. You think you are doing pretty well. You have made 5 trades so far in the day and each one turned out in your favor. Just to give yourself a big ole pat on the back, you decide to tally up the day. So what if it is only 3 hours into the trading day, you may have made enough to sit back the rest of the day and relax. So against your better judgment (and our staunch advice) you tally up your trading profits.
Scenario #1 – You did great. You made even more than you thought you did. Logically, you know that you should continue using your system and be even more disciplined because it has done so well for you. But you are feeling good! Endorphins are surging in your blood and you start thinking you are darn good at this trading stuff. So on your next trade, you take a little more risk that you might have normally because it feels right. You get a little careless. You see it in every movie. Pride cometh before a fall.
Can you see where we are going with this?
Scenario #2 – You didn’t do as well as you thought you did. It seemed like the day was productive but when looking back your profits were mediocre. Not bad, but not that great either. “Hmmm,” you think, “I have time to make up for this mediocre morning.” After all, you want to hit that daily goal and at this conservative rate, you may not. You let loose the reins just enough to squeak in an extra trade or two – so what if they are not ideal circumstances.
Can you see where we are going with this?
Bottom line is, tallying up your progress is something best done when your results will not affect that way you trade. If you have a system that works 70% of the time (more if you are in our chat rooms), you will end up ahead no matter when you tally up. Preferably, you should sit down and graph out your progress at the end of each month but we know how much restraint and patience that requires. If you must, tally up weekly on Friday afternoon AFTER YOUR TRADING DAY IS OVER!
