"..is shaping up to be transformational."

That's the key Pott. Being a fellow investor is RR, I had an average of 97p. Sold just shy at 1150p (5 years).

I can't so anything with my SIPP until I'm 58 (currently 51 in Feb next year), so I have to go with another transformational stock. WSBN (obvs), IMM and KOD (bought in at 0.09 originally) do that for me.

Life changing stocks - but can always go the other way. Let the bold and brave get the gains my friend. 👍

"Well done Nettles for your loot and posts over the years (read not involved) but you’ve bought some right historic AIM dogs there!! Hope they come good for you as the principles of metals is fine :)"

Thank you brother! Massive risk with AIM, but hey, what's life all about if you're not taking risks?

This time next year Rodney, I'll be a multimillionaire, or I'll be asking you for some cash please.... 😂

Boom Berny! We got an allotment last year and we've got 12 potatoes out of it so far. Best potatoes ever! 😂

I'm with you brother!

... I mean 28 different stocks, not 28 shares within WSBN! 😂

Just want to post a very open and honest post coming into 2026.

I've sold all my RR shares over the Xmas period as I am dedicated to top up on my big share holdings in WSBN, KOD and IMM.

I have around 28 shares total (currently) but since Feb in 2025, mining was always going to be the gain in 2026 for the next 5 years.

So just a very simple 'best of luck' to all who hold the same idea as me, and let's hope 2026 pays off for WSBN as se expect.

All the best to all of you.

"Apart from the getting up at 7am.. lol"

😂

Well, that's the other part of dedication - I swim a mile a day from 6am and it set's me up for the whole day.

But hey, enough about me and my workings - again, best of luck to everyone here, I really hope RR get's to TESLA status and all that have invested are happy with their gains - that's all that matters.

.... I forgot to mention our partners Berny. If your wife/partner is the same ilk as mine, they are very single minded in their approach to what they do regardless of what we do. My wife doesn't care a jot about the financial gains I've made over time and I love her for it. She's out with her own venture, as many hard working, caring people who enter the NHS do. I'll probably reach a time where a boat in the Seychelles is something I want to do (maybe not to be honest), but I guarantee my wife will be looking at her own agenda of her path in life and I'll get lonely on that boat! 😂

I know many people younger and older than me that mess up thinking money is the goal. Love, honesty and dedication to others is a very simple goal to have, if you're non religious like me and we have 80 years here.

What's wealth if you can't be a good person with it?

Hey Berny!

Awesome to hear from you brother. You have been an inspiration to many here and I regard you as one of the few that really got us up from that pre £1 state in 2020 (remember when we used to say £1.44 was awesome?) 🤩

In a very simple response to your question; you may have noticed I am not materialistic in my approach to shares. Don't get me wrong, we all buy shares for the idea to gain from them, some do to enter an early retirement and some do for quick gain to manage their daily lives.

Me? I live a VERY mumble life that allows me do what I want to do daily... work, not work, spend time with the family, not spend time with the family 😂 so my aim has always been to simply enjoy life at what some may consider to be an early stage (I got rid of my old company in 2013 and it was the best thing I ever did). I don't have the funds you have suggested you have for your good self, but my funds are perfect for me to maintain that lifestyle until I'm six feet under, and so I continue to beat the annual rate my previous "financial advisors" could suggest for me, by a very big margin if I can say that without being obtuse.

I continue to do it as I have very few vices..... gambling went at the age of 30 when I realised it was dangerous, football I have never been interested in, so apart from F1 and share trading, I'm a very simple cat. I like to know that what I think 'could' happen in the realms of shares often does happen - I take pride in that. And I will continue to do it until I leave this planet of ours....

I'm lucky that I love what I do as a 'living', that is to draw and create graphics for clients worldwide. To see my work in Australia, America, New Zealand, Africa nations to name but a few makes every day for me a joy, so there is no retirement for me, and thus any gains from these shares will never propel me to give that up and do something else.

What else do I do? Retire from a job I love and do what?

I have a goal, as we all do, to have funds available if I ever become unable to do such work (AI being a massive force against my work at the moment) and I'm probably there already but the fun of waking up every day and doing what I love, looking at my share prices increase (or understand why they are decreasing) is my joy.

Moreover, the ability to help others is a key thing for me - not in share advice, as nobody should take what I do as advice, but using the money to do wonderful things for the community. That's my joint, my drug.

I hope that answers your question friend - walking through the fields at 7am this morning with my awesome wife and dog whilst my daughter was sleeping to then go back and enjoy a day of family is all that matters to me.

Hey Badland mate! I mentioned back in Feb/March last year that I thought mining was better placed for my funds and once I got my pensions transitioned to SIPP (August/Sep 2025) all my money was going into mining for the next 5 years (at least - I have to wait until I'm 58 to recoup anything so essentially 7.2 years from now).

Thankfully, my punt was good for me and currently 26.8% up since September when I made that bold move. Makes sense to me to transpose the RR funds over to those mining entities - but that's a gut feeling that I have to follow, no massive data I can share here.

This is an RR forum so I won't go into detail, but for me, the 'potential' gains with the likes of WSBN and KOD are much more than RR when I see their share taking a downturn in Feb results - but again, just my opinion, nothing anyone should follow.

The only other where I'm massively invested in, along with the mining stocks, is IMM due to a once in a lifetime opportunity they have with their current enterprise - again, I won't go into detail here as this isn't the place to do it.

I know you are a lot more 'bullsdeep' than I can ever be, with your 3x scenarios, and I wish you all the best.

Do look into what analysts are saying now about mining (gold, silver, lithium, copper) for the next 5 years - but do your own research... I was lucky enough to get in before the analysts suggested such a move was worthy.

And as always, the very best of luck to you buddy - you're a proven valued member of this forum and I honestly wish you all the very best with the near future investments.... you deserve all the gold you dream of. 👍

Not suggesting anyone do what I do, but IMM, WSBN and KOD are the three stocks that the RR funds will top up for me.

I'll keep you posted on the blog 👍

....apologies (always one for honesty)... average sell was 1144.27p.... sold in chunks apparently - blame Barclays/AJ Bell (who are rather awesome to be honest), and blame me for selling "at best".... never a good idea for maximum high end sell, but certainly the easiest to get funds available for the new year.

👍

Hey all,

I hope you all had an awesome Christmas and an even better new year.... here's to a wonderful 2026 to each and every one of you.

I sold my entire stock at 1148.56p (much higher than my goal of 700p - but less than the 1200 I suggested) so very thankful for all the gains.

I won't continue to share my opinion of RR as it will be null and void to be honest, so all I can say is good luck to everyone of you, and thank you to most for that awesome ride along these 5/6 years - I think we can all agree it's been a totally epic and eventful experience for all of us?

As most of you know, I've been into mining since Sept 2025 (since the SIPP was activated) and ALL funds have transposed over to a few of my favourites that have thankfully served me well so far.

I may be wrong, and a continued holding in RR may be the correct path, but only time will tell - but again, I honestly wish all holder the ultimate in longevity on this awesome stock.

Take care all - and best of British to each and every one of you.

P.S. The Nettles Blog will continue from the first few weeks of Jan with the awesome Svend and PEAK (if they are still on board with me) so it should be an interesting 2026 in terms of what direction investments are most giving.,

Love to all! ❤️

I think it's simply getting back to true value (pre assay results etc). Recent interview smells like a no brainer to me.

... I have these in my ISA for years (lost a lot), but bought again in my recent (September) SIPP and good to see a gain.

Could be the LTH I wished for.

Let's see.

Our journey is far from over captain Svend, and I'll be back in the new year after certain issues are sorted (that you and PEAK have been more than patient with).

So here's to an enjoyable 2026 when the Nettles/Svend/PEAK blog really shines with a massive diversity of staying with RR (and not in my case) - it will certainly make interesting reading for all involved for 2026!

But I do take this time to say a big thank you to you sir, in front of all here - what a true gentleman you continue to be.

And I wish you do get to that goal with RR, I have no doubt you will my friend.

Jon 🐈‍⬛

....oh, and also follow Svend in his approach to things - he is the captain of this ship as we all know. Along with PEAK, you'll never go wrong in their honest and sensible telling of RR.

If it helps, I'm selling everything at £12 (end of December).

I, like many others here, have had not only a great ride from those pits of RI (34p) to averaging below £1 (mine is 97p) so I'll be very happy with the gains, but we've also had a great time here (maybe I can only speak for myself on that one).

From my initial idea of £7 close in Feb 2025 from that original idea in 2020, I've gone through so many haters and also so many supporters, it soon became a really awesome community here (and ye, I include Shareflyer and Ar4snal in that group).

We all had our own ideas of where this would be over those years, and I'm very happy with the massive quick gain from my initial £7 goal.

I personally feel this will do what others suggest (continue to gain once RR SMR LTD pass their gains to respective shareholders including RR PLC) but I do feel there will be a down side in next results come Feb, so I'm getting out at last trading day this year.

It's all personal, and as I've said on here, come September this year, my pension got transposed to SIPP that allowed me more funds to focus on what I feel is the next gain until I retire; that being mining (Gold/Lithium/Silver).

I've spent those funds gaining positions in that area and (touch wood) I'm nicely up - a lot more than if I put those funds into RR at that time - I've even included a pharmaceutical I never thought I'd be interested in!

The proceeds of the RR funds are ISA based so I will use that money wisely to both fund my last years of work, whilst also topping up the mining stocks I am now dedicated to.

All I can say is, it's been and absolute joy being here, and regardless of views along the way, I'd like to think we are all gainers in our knowledge that RR has done what we all knew it would do.

So a massive good luck to everyone, and I'll see you on the other boards of LSE in the coming years (I've still got 7 years until I can take my funds at 58!) so here's hoping I don't lose those much earned gains.

Speak soon all!

"but no great substance IMHO"

Did you not read the figures?

"100p first target"

From my time here, the £20 goal is realistic (way within my timeframe I stated).

Not many golden opportunities arise in these markets now but WSBN and IMM have my full backing for transitional stocks that will gain an amount that we could only dream of.

Ignore the chaff, and focus long term 👍
