Me too, EWT98. When the iron ore price dips, it's the Chinese govt trying to secure cheaper iron ore as well as produce cleaner air.
And the media also likes to make a big thing of any dip: they turn it into a giant fall to have a headline, when in fact it's just normal up and down.
I'm happy to be into metals at the moment. It feels like the right time.

Yes indeed Max, it's a great time to be sitting on high grade iron ore deposits . . . finding where exactly they are, and how best to capitalise on them is a massive challenge. So good luck to our management, and patience to our shareholders.

Meanwhile, back at the Batcave: silver up 0.88%, platinum up 0.84% and copper doing well.
I've watched iron ore prices for the last 3 years: the Chinese govt has to crack down regularly on the factories due to the pollution they produce, and that causes the iron ore price to drop, but only for a few weeks or a month. The fact is, iron ore is in massive demand in China, and any company sitting on iron ore deposits is in a good place.

Quite right napthman, you can't enjoy your profit if you're stressed into hospital! We need excitement but we also need to collect some profit and enjoy it.

Or maybe Bills' cat will eat you?

I would enjoy 3p this year napthman, 5p the next year, 7p the next . . .
I love the idea that I could take a little profit each year and stay connected to this UFO for years to come.

Share price progress is slow this year, that's a fact. Two things keep occurring to me, and even more now that I've listen to the very cool and steady BBG:
1. Slow and steady wins the race.
2. The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient (Warren Buffett).

I was hoping silver might restart its climb before the weekend.
Lovely.

A serious thank you to the many people on this board who take the time to share statistics and their analysis. You help me and others stay up to date, thank you.
The jump up to 1.30 this morning was a treat to see. Strong and true.

I'm guessing what Musk dabbles in.
Truth is, this past year there has been a very speedy waking up to the fact that without a healthy planet, humans are finished. So green energy is not caring for the poor, it's caring for number one: you.

Quite right poorinvestor, respect is due to Mother Theresa, and all helpers of the poor.
There's magic in the fact that if you have enough solar panels, your business runs on free electricity until the sun goes out! Top types like Musk dabble in magic.

Not sure that you're right, poor investor. Planet Elon is not a planet, it's a person and he needs to sleep well.
If this miserable sinking of the bitcoin price causes Chinese bitcoin miners to switch to clean electricity-making, then Elon has helped the planet a million more times than I do with my little recycling efforts!

I agree HH, let go of the losing shares . . . if you can tell which ones are losers!
If making a buck on stocks was easy, no one would go to work.

Can we agree that electricity is dirty or clean depending on how you make it?
So it's absurd to trash an electricity-intensive business: you should trash the method of collecting the electricity for that business if it's dirty.
I believe Elon Musk is keen on planet Earth, most astronomers are. It's the silly business of 'tweeting' that has made him sound half-awake. You can hear in the word 'tweet' that it will make idiots of us all.

However, taking a portion of my investment off when there's a very nice rise (what my brother calls a haircut) seems like a good idea. I will try to do that on this year's rise.

HH, you're right, I've read the main cause of lost money on the stockmarket is moving your money around.
I would quickly drown if I tried to surf on Bondai beach, and the same with stocks: no surfing for me!

DC26, maybe there has been chat about the rise to 3p, but more ideas would be helpful. All angles together might add up to accurate?
The only reason I didn't worry about missing the high-point was because most of the money I've lost on the stockmarket has been lost by jumping off, jumping on again, jumping off, jumping on again!

HH, BB, I reckon the biggest factor in last years race up to 3p was the gold rush. I know Alien Metals isn't looking for gold but the excitement caused all miners and explorers to fly, including us.
This year all metals, precious and non-precious, are moving upwards and we have several reasons to expect 3p and more. Our UFO has several strings to its bow . . . including the chance of gold appearing in the copper joint venture with Capstone.

You're right mapp, gotomoon is the business.
Keep on inspiring us, gotomoon!
