Vagabond, my personal experience with mining:
PAF: Bought in in three tranches over 10 years: Sold at the peak and came out with a profit of £800 (then it curved down)
Great Western: Bought in with £1000 last autumn, sold after one week with a profit of £100 (then it went down)
Bushveldt: Bought in with £700 some time last summer and sold making a profit of £350 (it curved down since)
Zinnwald Project: Bought in with £500 and sold with profit of£150 (it curved down since)

From my personal experience with 'holes in the ground' :-) PAF was the best one, as they paid a dividend (when it suited them). Most of the mines are located in countries that highly in danger of internal problems. Apart from Zinnwald, now that one is in Germany ;-) but the problem with this one is: Only 1/3 of the lithium below German ground, the rest is below Czech ground and what is below German ground above that is a Nature Reserve and it seems that former East Germany has already fleeced it thoroughly. To get permission for 'further investigation' could take a few years. Zinnwald Project was originally led by Bacanora, but they now only own major stocks in it and lend out hardware and loan expertise.

There is no way in Hell, that I'd EVER invest into holes in the grounds again.

And I still own around 23000 shares in Amigo ;-)

Right now, fact is, that Amigo without a decision and being able to be operational again, it's worth zero. It's one the most highest risk investments around. It can go either way. Which way it now goes, doesn't matter to me anymore. I have removed my initial investment-cost plus a small profit. For me that was the right thing to do. I don't have to cling onto hope anymore, I enjoy the ride :-)

vagabond, you really want to take the profit from here and dump them into holes in ground, some of which may funding being dug and others are being dug with hope they reveal something of value? I wish I had your nerves :-)

*too, not 'two'.

Yes, Franky, I read that two. Somebody saying something that 1 Million loss for JPM or any other large bank means nothing to them, but a lot any investor. I could not believe I was reading that :-) . If this was JPM's idea of banking, they would have been long forgotten.

Matty, I'm no longer stressed out. I still hold 25k shares in Amigo , but they don't stress me anymore, because their current and future monetary value no longer includes what I have initially invested. So however low or high it goes now, it's a profit for me either way. That is what I was trying to work out the other evening, only to suddenly read from somebody that I write of myself as being the best trader since sliced bread and when it goes up I'm a bull and this person has never experienced me as a bear (bladibla..), so it came from someone who only knows these two types, but never mind. I've never made such a claims of myself, again... never mind.
If statements of all the claims saying "This will be at 20, 30, 50p by next Friday/month" would be awarded with a pound each, we'd all be filthy rich by now. The fact is that nobody knows and Amigos future is right now unclear. Of course, I have thought a lot about how to interpret what GJ said and tried to figure out the reasons for Bybrook and JPM suddenly buying, but I reached the conclusion that all of it is speculation and doesn't chance that I still don't know where this going and when investing becomes a guessing game, then its no longer investing but gambling.
I hate nothing more than starting off or close past from the past, I like progress. I have managed to secured my progress by skimming off the cream (profit) from my Amigo investment and by doing that alone it means that I'm now better off than I was when I started off last August. The remainder of my Amigos shares can now bounce and drop and it doesn't worry me any longer. As I said, I can't stand winding up in a position that would mean I'd have to start from scratch. My strategy is working for me and I'm more than comfortable with it.

They're looking for a content producer. Let's just hope they don't give the job to jimmy :-)

GazJJ :-) I know, I've seen you :-) Yes, we enjoy a glass of wine in the evening, so makes sense to invest into the company and order through them, rather than trying to find a good bottle in the endless shelves of supermarkets lol.

FrankyS, yes, I can see this from your point of view, but I was beginning to feel really stressed out about Amigo and at times emotionally drained. Even to the stage that of finding it difficult to sleep. I have therefore decided to edge forward with a solid foundation and the majority of my investments being more predictable than Amigo is right now. I hope for everybody here, including myself, that Amigo and all there other investments will be life-changing, but I also realised I can't enforce that, no matter how much I pump into one share and how much I stress over it. I won't regret my move, either. Springtime is coming, I'll be pottering in our garden and in the evening enjoying a glass of wine, of which I will order a box through my newest investment :-)

I'm still in profit on Amigo, but glad I scooped the cream off the top when I did. I'm quite chilled now. More shares will be added through my savings plan and I can adjust everything in there throughout the month, up to the cut-off date. My new adventure is looking great, too and that one is a RLTH (Really Long Term Hold) :-) . I'm just happy that I found a way to reign in the emotional stress factor Amigo was causing in my portfolio, by having secured the initial investment plus a small profit. So, should Amigo go completely combust, which I doubt it will, then technically I haven't lost a penny.

Hello GazJJ :-) glad you're here. I think this stock hasn't been discovered by many, yet.
Bobscallywag, apart from BBQs, I have the feeling we may also experience a revival of holidays on our British Beaches and lots of Jolly Boys Outings :-)

mariog, I doubt it. It'll now just get ping-ponged between sharks and herrings for a while, but I feel it's in the air hole of a whale. I really do think that all will turn out fine. Where myself is concerned, I'm glad I took my slice this morning. I now have now worries of my losing everything, because it can't happen to me.

Well, himace, that's my kind of share. Buy into it when it's very young, the company already been well established for 20 years, then lean back and let slowly turn vintage :-) . Refill here and there, skim the cream off every so often that's it :-)

vagabond, it's VINO (Virgin Wine) launched on 2. March . Found out about that a few weeks ago and did lots of research. Founded in 2000 with solid customer base, new product lines in the pipe and solid finances.

than I expected it to. I'm still considerably in the blue, found a new great stock to invest my "seed-money" into :-) . Was a great day and my stress level has dropped enormously :-) .

More to buy than to sell. Could this be the lift?

...to be here pretty much right from the beginning. Did all my research after I first found out that Virgin Wines would be launching on London Stock Exchange and glad to be here so early :-)

Where do you see 11p? On my account shows 14.04 to buy and 13.48 to sell (right now HL but fluctuating a bit)

400im, I can't lose, because the money I have invested plus a profit is what I have taken out. From now on Amigo can run either way. I will sleep like a baby tonight :-)
