Happy to buy more today @ 20.79p gross

Why not?

"For transparency, I have now exited my position....."

I see this sort of statement frequently....!

Personally I don't get the "all in" or "all out" I do believe that one should "tweek" the portfolio frequently......and depending on macro/micro/other risks/ expected or realised news etc. be "underweight" or "overweight" but it seems a bit "over emotional" to be all in or all out!

I did take profits on a part (tranche) of my portfolio at 295.55 g and bought 50% of that tranche back at 267.4 g and the other 50% yesterday at 222.87g

my only regret was not getting the lowest buy in....lol

It's how I take profits without risking FOMO on the main core holding position.

GLA how ever you are playing............we can but "guess" timescales and events........personally I can't think Paul will be risking the SP with his holding in ALK!

"TIME to BUY?

Not convinced we won't still see a spike down but IMO there is more chance of a rise of some sort from now. Expect to trade out for a profit asap

but took a small 888 share bet @ 560p including costs....

"

....see how we go!

Remember gold increased by a factor of x10 in the 1970s and finally blew out to about x20 .........and just read this to see what interest rates were doing then

Captain....Interest rate hikes will not affect PM price v currency in the medium to long term.....when the realisation of where the real value lies.......I believe the "realisation" will start to hit home with the western investing public later this year...and filter down to the wider public too.

I remember the same noise re. interest rates, inflation in the late 70's and early 80's .......

.....and every silver shilling I got in my change.....was sold to the dealers on my lunch break for a £1 (That would be £10 in today's money)!

GLA

I think you're right Jeremiah99......but most of us are seasoned enough to not be unduly influenced gamblers and over the years I have managed to make some money out of "crossposts".......bet I've lost some too though....lol

It is as it is......I might have a dabble?

But i won't be selling any GROC!

GLA

Faf....yep.....good response....Personally I don't know BRES...and happy here with GROC.....I hold and trade it.....so it's been good to me!!

But GROC feels well discounted........and I expect the tide to flood and ebb...as cycles do. I wouldn't be out of GROC currently........

......you may wish to hold both BRES and GROC

I'm a sucker for a bargain...which is why my portfolio has 50+ shares......all at sea (port)......waiting to land at (starboard) .......red currently....waiting for green....lol

GLA

Lol Jeremiah99......like the analogy!

Whether or not the LSE ave. ALK investor approves or not,

I sold a small traunche yesterday @ 295 and bought back a small tranche today for 269 (including stamp/dealing costs)

A small profit...just for fun!

GLA

Took 30k off the table end of Jan for £1183 net.....rebought just now for £870 net. at a gross price of lucky ? 2.888p

Best summarsied by my post on FRES sharechat board:-

"Squiffy,

By year end I expect to see AU/AG back to within sight of all time highs.....it could even be more spectacular. A lot of Western investors came out of physical in favour of ETFs for "security" and ability to "trade" faster. There is a backlog at refineries to process into mainly purer kilobars for Eastern demand, and also central bank "big" bars.

It would make sense for the western public to start buying again but I expect the next few months consolidation to put Investors off doing so....until they realise they have no choice later in the year!

In summary all good for investors to hug 'n hold and "buy the dips" ......but no good for traders / short term investors/ speculators......until Sept.

The journey to and then beyond all time PM highs will be purely down to public investor perception......could be spectacular over the next few years!

Short term I expect to buy when my barometer (AU) is 8% to 10% lower......( no idea what silver and miners will be then!) ...purely will buy AU and/or AG ...and/or miners ....will decide then......perhaps within 14 days.....all IMO only

Still overweight in cash till late August....expect to pounce back into PMs and associated shares then!

GLA

p.s. I'm not expecting big praise for my petty much 100% correct trading calls over the last few months......but a bit of some sort of engagement whether agreeable or disagreeable would be welcome...lol (we are here to share opinion to make money??? or is it just to disrupt and antagonise?

Yep sold out again (Sprott Gold) .....expected a wee bit more from 10th......barely made a profit.....FX costs....it's all 'bout $US

indeed the whole world wars, deaths, destruction....all 'bout $US....

but a pittance profit from my trade.....is a profit no less........

'til the next time.......ATB

p.s. should have traded HOC instead.....c'est la vie

Will probably give him tax relief circa £30k.......and future gains protected from CGT! ??.why not?

Once knew a guy from BD called Terry Lewis...I see you ticked up my post.

All the same we are now at 18/11/2025 prices for GBP Gold (and around 25% off the high) and there are plenty of catalysts in the world economically and politically that remain supportive of gold prices and could prompt opportunity buying. Any downside may be short lived IMO .....so I've taken a wee bet and bought some Sprott Physical Gold (Trust) just now.......not sure about shares and/or silver yet......just a play bet to recover some of the £100k I'm temporarily down on my holding positions . when it makes 10% I'll trade it out for now......still see late August/early Sept to be buying again properly...all IMHO only.....we'll see!
