Long time lurker here - rarely post, but just wow. I have been invested for around 5 years in GGP so experienced the last highs and lows over the years, and the classic £1.44 price targets ;)

I always thought it would come good and coupled with my views on the bigger macro picture and being bullish on gold and precious metals I knew it was one to hold and add where I could. I'm just a small private investor in my early 30's but this decision alone has pretty much helped to double my net worth in approx. 3 years. I won't even think of selling anytime soon! We are SO much more established now, and the global picture and demand for precious metals is off the scale. Factor that in with a currency change cycle (shout out to Ray Dalio), BRICS, China and central banks buying - I can't think of another opportunity that has this level of value.. thanks to all posters and GLA.

FWIW, I'm about a decade younger than you, and started investing into GGP about 5 years ago, because I'm concerned about currency debasement under the guise of "inflation" when covid QE started, and I'm just someone with a vague interest in personal finance that didn't even study economics.... and learnt about Gold. How most people haven't woken up yet is beyond me!

I do think your wrong about Crypto though, well, I'm only talking Bitcoin. On a 5Y graph it's still up 356%, lol. There is no reason for people to be anti crypto / pro gold and vice versa, they both fight the good fight of sound money principles and against the failed governments FIAT experiments. I'm bullish on gold, massively - and told everyone I know they should be too... shame they only came back to me when it jumped 50% this year, lol. Just looking now and gold is up 59% this year alone, that is absolutely ridiculous and shows we have deep deep financial system woes at play here IMO. Long gold, long GGP, and stay open to crypto - the upside potential is still off the scale IMHO.

I just sold 3101 shares via HL that cost me £4495 and I got £23 in return after the trade fee, lol. I have more on T212 also, gutted. Truly thought ARB was going to be a big win, took my chances and it didn't pay off. Live and learn! It is what it is, real shame. I'm sure lots here have had much larger losses - all the best.

Hi all, I'll be honest, I bought some of these as a punt a while back, at 3.6p. Only a small amount. I noticed in my portfolio today I have gained 2,082% so I've 20 bagged it on this. Just WOW. If only all shares could be like this one! Congrats to all the holders and I try and take some more info in...

Interesting comparison comparing GGP to Fresnillo

I hope you got to the toilet in time buddy.

I think we have held up fantastically well today, considering most upwards movements we tend to collapse the day after, especially after good news ;)

It feels like the tide is slowly turning, we are becoming more established and have a steady Shaun Day at the helm guiding us through, gold is rising and shows no chances of going down anytime soon IMHO. We are a producer now, and 6p was a ridiculous market cap for what we have in the ground.

Onwards and upwards greatlanders!

What a day, never doubt the GGP!

The market has certainly liked the news :-)

Shaun's confirmed it's a cross-listing not a dual for anyone interested BTW.

Apologies, life has taken over a bit recently and I've not kept myself 100% in the loop.

Where do we currently sit with 'known' amounts of gold or gold equivalent in Oz's?

I am so pleased we seem to have rebounded a bit and have now become a miner... exciting times to come!

Hi guys, anyone got an update as to what is going on? Or can help me in laymans terms (ha-ha)

Cheers all.

Wow, +15.6% up today boys. Nice to see us on the up again - I'm here for the long-term ride but try and read bits and pieces on here when I can! I'm sure SD will deliver Haverion as best as possible.. elephant county, see through the trees, etc..! Ha-ha.

Ahh perfect thanks, makes sense now. The market adjusts for the divi of circa 8%. I need to get in the day before the 'Ex Divi' date in future.

I'll hold off slightly longer and look to start my position soon. Cheers.

Hi, apologies for sounding like a total newbie, I guess we all start somewhere. With the ex-dividend date being today, If I buy in now - will I receive the dividend? Been looking to get in for a while and a little drop today seems good as any. Thanks in advance.

This SP is utterly ridiculous, unfortunately I have just hit 50% in the red as my average is 20p. I'm a little annoyed but mostly emotionally disconnected. I'm sure this has multiples of value to unlock come the future. Many stocks are down 50% too - even SMT Scottish Mortgage Trust in just 6 months...! And for comparison that's run by an account manager who's main purpose is to manage the investments within the fund... with diverse stocks. We are just a single AIM stock.

I shall continue to do as normal and buy a little more each month as I can, as I believe the fundamentals here shall prevail. Instead of the fed exponentially printing currency backed by nothing with debt levels over $30 trillion and rising at the fastest pace ever seen.... Got gold?

Why can't you buy on T212, close only? It's a joke. I've been buying within my HL LISA but the fees are horrible in comparison.

I've just bought in - should tank now. When I got into Evraz, about 30 seconds after I bought in the RNS came out RE: the canceled dividend lol. Another long term hold here. GLA.

Dropping, I'm looking to get in around £3 if possible

I really hate missing out like this I'm such a silly sod that procrastinates at times.. find it hard to buy on highs after big jumps up but still want some exposure here. Now, or wait and miss out further? Haha

I want to get in here, can't help but feel I've missed great opportunity last few days.. anyone with TA what are the support levels or shall I just buy now and forget?

I must have bought in about 1 minute before that RNS

God I'm such a JONAH when it comes to the markets. FFS. Was hoping for the divi as de-risked it somewhat. Oh well... long hold should recover, still silly cheap.
