RE: Back to where we were 3 years ago but....29 Mar 2024 08:52
None of us get it right all of the time. However, if the timing works out the gains cane be superb.
* I was in Greatland, which went for me from just over 2p to over 28p. I bailed before the eventual 35p+ price. Sareum went from .3 to over 8p for me and took a decade but the x25+ gain was well worth the wait in my ISA and SIPP tax wrappers. I also experienced the meteoric rises in Argo, Novacyt and Synairgen. It is not ramping to say that these kind of "parabolic" gains occur. It's a fact. Two of my shares in the last year have gone up x 10+. UPL from .5 to 8p and POS 2p to 30p. It's about timing, research and getting to grips with the investment cycle of a particular company.
* In summary, there are some shocking posters on here - both rampers and derampers - but there are some very good posters on here who do their DD and research from RNS', briefings, the scientific / pertinent trade press and competitor analysis. It is a fact that in our sector Sareum at 10p is right back where it was a few years ago but that this time the science is far more advanced. i.e. an indication that SAR could have another significant rise if the data is positive. The caveat being "IF".
* The next small caps that look to have similar potential include GST, DGI, HEMO, ROAD, HE1, AVCT, WEB and SOU. Some of these, like SAR, have had big rises before and are back where the started but if you understand the particular business and its investment cycle and then time your purchase at the right time you stand a good chance of making a healthy gain.
* It takes time, patience and nerves of steel but well worth the gains when they happen in your ISA or SIPP.
* The best advice I was given was "Buy and ignore the daily fluctuations". Set yourself a target of, say, 18 months and see where SAR is then.....
Good luck, Brighty
