Indeed. You’ve only got to log on to this board to see how the mood changes depending on the direction of the share price. If I were a mathematician I’m sure I could quote an algorithm for it.
Money is amazing until you or someone close to you is diagnosed with a disease it can’t cure at which point you realise it’s maybe not so important … which is where investment in SAR and the like becomes just that.

Yes of course - not fretting in the slightest. Might not be in line for multi millionaire status like some but more than happy with where we are just now. Like Thoth2 has said several times, it’s ‘educated gambling’ and I’ve not staked more than I can afford to lose so what’s not to love?

Think you’re right to some extent Danny as, financially, Tim et al’s retirements were secured long ago but didn’t they say fairly recently they weren’t planning any new discoveries so maybe they’re just looking to move on into retirement knowing their brilliant endeavours will be taken on to the next level once they’ve secured the right path for them?
The money is useful thing is all relative too isn’t it? Lots of SAR LTHs are in line for a yacht if that’s what floats their boat (ha ha) but there are other relative newbies to this story (myself included) with a modest holding for whom the opportunity to pay off their mortgage @ 12p would be considered life changing. Takes all sorts of brush strokes to complete a picture.

I got badly badly burned by a well intentioned but ultimately ill advised foray into investment into Gulf Keystone Petroleum c. 12 years ago. Happy to be corrected if I’m wrong but I think I recognise a few people on this board who were carried along on the hype with me on iii all those years ago?
Anyhow, fast forward to 2021 … I’ve saved quite a few quid after working from home and no overseas holidays because of COVID-19 and am wondering how I can turn it to my advantage and maybe, just maybe, I’m ready to give stocks another go? So I spend 3 months researching AIM penny stocks - Im particularly drawn to companies researching cancer treatments having had personal experience of both cervical and breast.
I eventually pick my top 3 ‘ethical’ stocks and buy 10,000 shares in each. Approximately 1 month later I get the opportunity to join Sareum Holdings (one of the 3 I’ve invested in) investor presentation so I sign up to learn more about the company I’ve invested in.
Almost fall off my chair when I realise Sareum are based in Cambridge as although I’ve lived in Scotland since 1997 I was born and brought up in Cambridge, my family all still live there and I used to live in the next village to Pampisford!
Im really inspired by what I hear during the presentation and it’s not long afterwards that I end up selling the shares in the other 2 stocks (although believe it or not I still have a few in GKP!) and going all in in SAR. My 250000 shares are as nothing compared to the majority of investors here but 12p would be life changing for me which is something I’d stopped believing in many years ago. What’s for you doesn’t go by you as they say in Scotland.

I have all my SAR shares tucked away in an ISA. If Sareum were to be taken over by (say) GSK and the deal was an all share one and I decided to sell the GSK shares instead of hold onto them would the profit on the sale be liable to GCT or would the cash received still be protected by the ISA wrapper? Possibly getting way ahead of myself here and apologies in advance if this question has been asked and answered many times previously and I've missed it.
