Hi, everyone

I've sent Brad and Louis a congrats email on their performance in the year just ended. I think it's important that they should know their work is appreciated by the shareholders.

Hi, Chesh

"Threatening" should read "promising" (unless one is sufficiently foolish to have a short position).

"The cheque is in the post" are words which are scarcely reassuring.

Here's the link for GMET on the US market.

Hi, Legal

I give you my word, I will keep quiet in future, about both buys and sells. This will save me from public humiliation, when I muck up again.

Thanks, Legal.

I should make clear that the surgery was performed in hospital, not that I am presently confined there. On the contrary, presently enjoying a bottle of wine in the Cambridge Union library; bombed by the Luftwaffe in 1942, but still standing.

Best wishes

Hi, NewboF

Thanks for this, particularly the second sentence. As it happens, I am recovering from surgery in hospital, so the mention of wounds is certainly appropriate.

Hi, Karl

I suppose there are two kinds of mistake. The kind, where you look back, and think, "how could I have been so stupid?," and the kind where you think, "I looked at precedent, I assessed the probabilities, and I got it wrong." This falls into the latter category. Usually, news produces a one-day rise (in AIM stocks generally, including OMI); and the arrival of new names puffing up the price, is a sure sell signal. But on this occasion, those rules didn't apply.

As you know, I don't blame others, when things go wrong. And on this occasion, I don't really blame myself. It was bad luck; it happens on the battlefields, and it happens in financial markets.

Best wishes

Yes, you're right, Sharetrader. Errare humanum est, etc.

Hi, Stout

Good to see you here. I remember you from the GGP days. Anyhow, I have bought a few today. Oliver is an excellent CEO, and tungsten is a necessary asset; war never goes out of fashion, unfortunately.

Hi, bhargav

Thank you for your comment at 16.04. I know I have criticised you in the past, for insulting our CEO (whom I like and respect); but today, I have appreciated your support.

Hi, Karl

Thanks for this. JBCo is mistaken (though we all make mistakes); my character has its defects, but dishonesty is not among them.

My "agenda" (i.e. purpose) in posting messages is to inform and amuse others. If everyone had the same agenda, the world would be a better place.

Hi, JBCo

It depends how you define "new," I suppose. I was a stockbroker in 1978; but that's new, compared to some of the older merchant banks.

Hi, Karl

It's a fair point. GGP I held through 2020, and never traded; but that was because I was busy teaching. I've now got more leisure, and to quote an old proverb, "the devil makes work for idle hands."

The important thing is to keep one's sense of humour, and sense of humanity; not to be puffed up, when one wins; or angry and bitter, when one loses.

Best wishes

It's now quite difficult to get out; earlier, I sold 300k shares at 7.26, and 200 at 7.4 but now, I couldn't get an online price for 100.

As I said before, periods of boredom are relieved by brief moments of excitement.

I've sold another batch; it's got to hit the top sometime, and then drift lower, until the next news.

I was so annoyed by my own incompetence, that I have put the money into Guardian Metals (tungsten in Nevada; the CEO, Oliver Friesen, is young, which makes a change from Brad). This leaves me with a more diversified portfolio, about 83% in OMI, and 17% in GMET, on current valuations.

JBCo

I have no wish to be difficult; but selling is not the same as a short position.

Serves me right, for trying to be too clever.
