It has been a gold mine for me in the past but that does seem a long time ago

I agree, he is a nasty timewaster, I should probably filter him.

VJ,

Not very good taking the short at the lowest price of the day, I thought you were a genius

Calm down Dark Knight, take a chill pill

Where would you rather live, Iran or the US

Perhaps we should have let Iraq build a nuclear bomb as well

I doubt the US are intent on bombing us with nukes !

This is proving a fantastic investment now.

It is the sixth time I have invested in HOC, the previous 5 times I lost money, glad I kept the faith, the 801% gain this time dwarfs the previous losses.

It has now become my second most profitable investment, replacing Rolls Royce. Still number 1, believe it or not, is OCADO, which was a great momentum share back in 2017. The trick is knowing when to get off the ride, as well as get on !

My other precious metals miner, Fresnillo, is up into

Same here, I hold for a year and then sell, also done well with RR and finance and defence stocks

JD15 "what is your view on gold"

To be honest I have no idea, I just follow momentum and when it reverses I will jump off the train

Well done David, I do remember discussing with Fender that you cannot time the market. 2025 has been my best year yet with investments in gold, defence and banking shares.

Back in here based on good recent momentum and a decent dividend. I will hold for a year. Using this strategy I made 34% in 2014 and 4% in 2021.

I agree Mark, KGF is a small part of my portfolio but very happy to see such a good rise today

2 major mistakes of investors.

1. Not cutting losses by holding on to losers too long.

2. Not maximisimg prodits by selling winners too soon.

We can't guess where the top or the bottom is. Look at RR, went from 30p to £11.

Based on my 2 month momentum analysis OCDO is looking good although FRE is top of my list.

Been my best year for many, there were plenty of opportunies out there, RR, gold miners, even the banks and MKS.

Simply use momentum as my guide, I've had some bad years but overall average 20% per annum

There never has been much to like in the fundamentals of OCDO, even when it went up to £29

I don't think you can forget any share, they nearly all have ups and downs

I tend to hold for a year and then look for other opportunities

I'm afraid you are the biggest loser on here VJ

I am in FRES and would certainly prefer that to OCDO, very profitable and great momentum over the last year

I have been in CPI 3 times before based on momentum and every time I lost money

I am in again but this time with just a small stake (FOMO)

Momentum has been a big winner for me but never seems to work with CPI, I'm down again

I've made much more with companies that don't pay dividends, including OCDO. They tend to be growth compnies with big potential, although they sometimes do crash and burn. You need to know when to get out.
