Life changing, not too late!20 Nov 2018 10:50
As just informed Alfa of my top up and total shareholding, I thought I'd just share my little story so others can see what can happen if you're lucky to find a little "gem" and stick to your guns, AND have very open and honest people willing to share their research, experience, gut feeling etc(Thank you, you certainly know who you are, don't want to say names as I'll forget someone, but Combine, if you're somehow able to see this, thank you from the bottom of my heart).
I come from a single (love you mum) parent family (have a big brother) a joke of a dad, who I saw about twice from the age of 3 till 18. (Now 50)
I blagged my way onto an apprenticeship with Ford Motor Co (had a Grade 'C' O level maths, pretty much nothing else, misbehaved terribly at school and then some petty crime which rewarded with 180hrs community service), nearly got sacked from there many times for lateness, then two broken legs, two collar bones and many more football and cricket related absences!
However, sorted myself out, got a mortgage (now paid off), started buying shares when the railways, water companies etc were sold off, then after several fails (and the odd success), found BMN, not quite sure how, but it was before the lemur news.
After just a small buy, read this board (along with others and my own research) rarely posted, but always listened and learnt!
Found after a few more buys @ around the 3 1/2p Mark (initial buy was around 6 or 7p) I was well under water, then Corbs, he gave me the confidence to take part in the call for money by the company a few years ago and here I am now, sitting on a portfolio worth over 200k (half in BMN) not by design, but because of good fortune.
Everything about my portfolio shouts diversify/sell some BMN, but NO I continue buying, why?
Well, they are the best, the future of this company has no limit, the best is yet to come, BE is going to be massive!
It's not too late for new investors, this story has only just begun, that I am confident of and yes, I'm still buying all the way!!
Thanks Combine, thanks you others, you've helped me change my life!!
Come on BMN, let's see you rise and rise again, £1 by Valentine's Day, it's on its way .....
Please do your own research people, this is not advice, just my story and opinion. (All true BTW)
