I agree he has his fingers in other pies he wants to keep warm, but it's good to read around in my view.

An interesting take by Rick Rule in his substack - realrickrule. substack. com/p/gold-in-the-ground-money-out-of-pocket.

The past fortnight though, both in gold price and share price, serve a firm reminder that paper profits (and losses) are merely that and it's important to know what your end goal is - whether that's wanting a certain level to cash out and move into a 'safe' world tracker, buy a fancy doo-dah. hold out for dividends, or some mix of all.

Looking at the gold price, not out of the realms of possibility.

The puts are for AUD, with gold just under A$6k - so no use to us yet, but nor do we want it to be as it's getting serious by that point.

Hoorah, I've now one bagged - shame this was only a small flutter of an investment but having been bitten by microcap before (TTAU, now TMR) it's certainly doing better.

I'd like to think I've got in early here in something which, even if it has a modicum of GGP style market cap in the coming years, will be life changing. GGP has paid off the mortgage at 40, hopefully FCM will make me financially free before 50.

On the plus side though, the paper loss on that £5m trade makes mine look more manageable, even if it is a bit painful to see. I suspect that buyer expects more of a return and won't be selling at this stage.

For what it's worth OTC is $9.54, or about £7.11 so perhaps tomorrow will be kinder.

There I was thinking Freetrade had the wrong figure, but no it was old reliable HL. Be nice to open to that on Monday.

What would I do? My daughter is very keen on a holiday to Japan and so, if we got a nice special dividend, that would be the plan - and if she had her way staying in a Hello Kitty themed hotel. Ah to be 6 years old...

I do this amazing thing of being invested in both GGP and OMI and treating them as separate investments and not bothering either board with the other...

However, it's still up Vs the current price here with conversion, so not really an issue.

A staggered approach for me, sold a tranche before Christmas to put into cash with the plan of paying off the mortgage. That happened last week, 5 years ahead of my target of doing it at 45.

Next plan is to sell half once we hit £10 and stick into VWRP or similar and see where I feel in the future about how the company js looking.

If you read Moon's posts with a Trump voice it's actually uncanny.

Whilst it never seems to correlate with UK price, OTC in US is again doing well at $8.07 (+6.72%) - or about £6.10.

This is based on no grounding at all, but wouldn't it be nice to sell it and use the proceeds to pay a special dividend, but with a royalty attached which is then allocated to paying future dividends.

Currently $7.75 on the OTC - or about £5.87.

Interesting, thank you for sharing. Unexpectedly this is my best performing share since the beginning of the month, still 87% down but there is a glimmer of hope in breaking even at one point.

Presumably none of your other investments are affected by any of the issues you list? In which case, well done. We're all very proud of you. A+
