I'm knees deep in ARB and have seen some great returns but have diversified recently into KR1 just to spread it out a bit, also given it's cheap at the moment picked up a few more shares than I would going into ARB now. The few extra shares should match the %return rise in ARB as we go.
BTC and (polka)DOT are the future!
Afren - Jesus how could we forget , I lost on that as well !
Dare I even mention the word : Afren
Reading this is making me feel better .
Lost £10,000 a piece on XEL - oil ‘ explorer’ and Langbar - don’t ask !
Currently up £35,000 with Argo - don’t tell the Mrs .
Big thanks to whoever tipped Argo on the 4d chat in December I owe you one . If your looking for another gem have a look at 4d pharma (DDDD) confirmed listing on NASDAQ on 14 March with another brilliant CEO just like PW . Best of all , one day Rodney ....
Same as someone above Tower resources, I'm just 99.9 something percent down. Out of three grand I have a value of £1.23. I want to sell it as it just depresses me looking at it in my portfolio but refuse to pay the five quid to do so. It will follow me into old age. In fact I have been great at the old shares so far and this has been my first real winner so want to thank people on here who really helped me understand the buissness.
First bought £90k of shares in ufo at 2.3p lost 60% of my investment over a few months so bit the bullet and gradually bought 102000 shares in ARB at various prices and I’m 120% up which is £98k profit and here till Texas is on full power at least probably take out 50% of my investment out to buy my dream home
I am hopeful/confident this will be a great share for my portfolio and will maybe even recover all my loses from my previous bad investments (I bought into Argo few weeks ago with 10,500 shares at £2.76)
GLA Argo holders
Here also,
Initially in at 12.45p, took 50% at £1 and doubled it elsewhere before returning it. works out at x37.5 up from initial stake at our highest point I think.
Accidentally sold a share doing a dummy trade a few weeks ago, was 150% up but now showing 15% loss.. quite annoyed about that one!
I was in Glencore for years.... after a while you develop an irrational emotional tie to a stock even when it underperforms. I kept holding through the massive bear market in March 2020, lost 50% paper money, then saw it almost recover to pre pandemic levels in January. At the time, I was trawling the LSE Glencore board when I saw a post from a fella bitter that the Argo Blockchain shares he sold for a small profit at 8p were now worth.... £1 a share!
From a copper miner to a bitcoin miner, I sold out of Glencore at a small loss, and put all that capital in ARB. I am now up over 5 figures in profit and haven't looked back.
Haha Supersaints66 there’s no beating literally getting shafted on a genital warts cure :) !
Or a couple of bottles of Romanée Conti 1990!
Cantab Pharmaceticals 20 odd years ago. Had the cure for genital warts ! eventually ran out of money and was taken over at a fraction of my invested value. Tadpole technology , went into liquidation. Plenty more over the last 40 years. Still Argo at 7.4p has more than compensated me for those losses. As an aside I had about £2k worth of wine stolen 18 months ago. Put the insurance money into Argo , now worth about £30k so thank you burglars. Can almost afford a case of Cheval Blanc
Interesting thread. If I'd stuck at my original investment I'd be around 2700% up here.... but that's gone askew now with the greedy top ups (err, sensible, not greedy).... Average is now 40p, so still by far my winningest winner.
Petropavlosk & Amur minerals taught me that it doesn't matter how good the resources in the ground are if the ground is in the wrong place geographically speaking.... (eventually cut and ran from both).

Erd your defo on a winner here mate. Key is to ride out highs and lows and look longterm. £10 and beyond.
Cloudtag, biggest loser, disappeared from my screen as a loss now, that bad :)
I seem to very good at buying stocks that either tank or go into administration (lost £10,000 in Worthington, £1000 in Motif Bio, £1000 in Paragon Diamonds, £3000 down in UKOG, just about broke even in Quindell)
I am confident I finally have a winner with Argo (I am also into Alba minerals for the longer term)
Still, much more fun investing in my SIPP myself rather than letting someone else take the risk with my money.
I'm in at 90p average, rode it up to £1.40 and back down to 60p before things started to get really exciting. I haven't averaged up or down at any point and I haven't sold a single share.
I haven't traded for quite a while after having been rather foolish with Thomas Cook and losing everything (in hindsight I was an idiot and it was a pure gamble, it hurt a lot!) Prior to this I was in Cine where a poster mentioned ARB. I was probably over cautious as I couldn't commit at around the 70p mark, as I'd not done enough research. Anyway, I saw much bigger potential for growth and expansion here so sold out my CINE holding for 10% profit and came here. I'm in it for the long haul and can honestly see myself remaining a holder in 10+ years, albeit having hopefully managed to top slice.
This share looks like being a life changer for my family and will allow us to move away from careers that we hate, into something that we are passionate about!
I thank all the old sweats on here for the wealth of information since I got in, it really has helped me learn and be calmer about the investment.
I hope that this company brings happiness and wealth to all my fellow Argonauts.
Tower Resources - oil minnow - they would not find oil In Saudi or a petrol station - down 99.9% - would cost me to more to sell then they are worth.
Keep them in my account in case I get to ****y with other shares.
Regency Mines (now Corcel PLC)...about at -98% return :)
We live and learn......ARB has basically recovered all my historic losses and given me a nice return.
If it wasn't for all of the useful information published on this board by the original Argonauts, I may never have found and invested in ARB so am very grateful.

SUPMAN
Carillon, lost 100%! Argo average px is £1.15 and by far my best investment to date
PMO for me, but I sold at a 60% loss and now they are back up!! However I bought ARB with the remains and have recovered all of the loss and more!
Plus I find Peter incredibly engaging and hence I’m pleased I diversified and believe more bags will follow here!!
GLA
Biggest loss was Independent Energy , bought it and then following day it went into Administration , that was a harsh lesson
all they had to do was sort out there billing system
haha - some good stories here, glad not just me ;)
The boss's ISA is up 4374%.
I'm down 98.5% on Tech Financials atm, so that's a ripper.
Years ago I had shares in Alpha Accident Management. They went bust overnight as it transpired that they had some major issue - with their insurance!
Recently we remembered that my wife had an old S&S ISA from before we were married, so must have been early 2008, that we'd completely forgotten about. We resurrected it - it had had £6,000 of RBS shares in back then. The resurrected ISA had shares worth about £250 and about £400 of accrued dividends held as cash.
Not the best 13 year return ever.
