At last, the roofers are building my house extension roof ,while the sun shines in the UK! It will be nice not to have to mop the water out after it rains ! Unfortunately ,building work can cost twice as much and take twice as long as originally expected. I hope I do not have to sell my Centamin shares before the eventual rise in the price of gold and the price of Centamin shares.. I think that fiat currencies may keep gold down this year, but eventually , probably next year, gold price will rise. But then ,I could be wrong.
I am committed to a very large building extension at the moment. I may have sell my Centamin shares in the next six months . Think that gold is money and fiat money is paper. I think that efficient gold miners should be profitable. I had hoped that Centamin was an efficient company. I hope I can keep may Centamin until they are profitable !
Regards to all. I think I can give myself a small pat on the back. I am a retired medic (GP) and I have been working doing telephone triage for coronavirus in the UK, for the past year. The service will finish later this month, as the number of cases are low in the UK and the youngsters will cope without us oldies. Back to full retirement and a building project next month. I think and hope that gold and gold mining shares are reasonable store of wealth in these odd times . I don't trust crypto a bit , but I have been wrong on that so far !
I think graphene will have a profitable future . I like Vesarian and I like NR. In the past I bought Vesarian at 14p and sold at a reasonable profit. Now back in Vesarian and at the moment on a loss . I am reasonably pleased that I bought some Haydale in the past year or so . I think Vesarian has the academics but i wonder if Haydale has better business skills. I hope NR will prove me wrong and take us back to profit.
Cash safe ,unless inflation eats it. As day trader says stocks are not safe and do have risks but they should be assets and not liabilities. The thing to try to do is buy assets and not liabilities. Assets make you money ad liabilities cost you money. I quite like rental housing, and I have one ,but who knows where house prices will go and one needs a sizeable lump of money to be safe if you are starting in housing. I am mainly retired and I think my aims are to enjoy my assets and to help my children and grandchildren. My wife says shares are gambling and she is probably correct , she usually is !
We start a house extension at the end of April, it should be a 12 week build. I am trying to empty out garage and some other rooms. I am hoping to have help from my children and grand children ? Tree surgeon should chop down some leylandii , I planted them when we moved in over 30 years ago. Two gardening mistakes that I made, planting leylandii and planting russian vine ! I hope I do not need to see any Centamin shares, but it depends upon how much over budget the build goes !
I bought a few more Versarien shares to day. In the past they have been good for me. But I am sitting on a loss, as I imagine most PIs are. I have also bought a few more Haydale , they seem to be doing a bit better at the moment and I am in profit with Haydale . I think graphene as a profitable future, but who know which graphene companies will become profitable in the future.
