RE: long-term supporters - That's me17 Oct 2020 23:36
Ian, you have to throw the odd little ramp in every now and then lol.
I believe it was late 2016 when i bought my first lot of Eurasia shares, i ended up with a 0.7 something average at the time. Bought more every now and then, but then there was a dip late 2017 and start of 2018 into the 0.2's. We had TDT back then full of his tales of doom and gloom, but the few positive posters there were just ignored him and used it as an opportunity to top up, average down, and build a decent holding. I'm certain Anders was here back then, positive that it was him that said it was a 'no brainer' over that dip at the time.
It's been a long journey, even for me, who realistically has only been in a fraction of the time that some of the ADVFN old guard have been in.
Even from last Oct until now, it feels like a very long time, a lot has happened between then and now. This board went from a relatively quiet place, to being absolutely full of every type of person you could think of. Real bear (shorters) vs bull (longs) battles have taken place over this board of ours. Many people joined the battle against the shorts, yourself, Tilly, and countless others have all came on board, found a spot and thwarted every shorter attack they dared to launch here. Shortly we'll all be rewarded for our investment, staying strong and helping support each other through the more difficult times, suspension being the most notable. I don't think anyone can say that it hasn't been a fantastic journey here so far, there's a real shareholder team spirit woven into the very fabric of this chat board these days, it's great to be a part of it, and i hope everyone else feels the same.
I hope everyone has a lovely relaxed weekend, all the best!
