Chips & Buckets & Shiny things !1 Nov 2023 09:50
I remember ,a few years ago, when visiting friends in Portland Oregon ( deadly dull ) they took me on flying few days visit to Reno ( the smaller shabbier version of the Vegas strip !). Not being an accomplished or willing gambler , at the time , I grabbed a small bucket on offer for coins for the slot machines and a slightly larger bucket for my chips ( for black jack don't you know ..) !
Anyway, my friends left me to it, as it was an adventure navigating the shiny slot machines on offer and the James Bond style black- jack tables surrounded by people carrying wads of dollar bills and chips piled high !
Plied with free booze and platters of USAs finest crappy snacks , I recall day was night ( when we slept ) and night became day as we all frittered away our bucket loads on a juicy ( this has to be it !!) gamble all night long .
My friends always knew where I was. I'm exhuberant when winning you see cos I yelled yaaaay( when winning ) but whoahhhh sadly when losing. I was easy to find if they lost me amidst the glittery machines and the Green baize of the gaming tables ... ( btw there were more amounts of whoahhhs a than yaaays at the time....obviously ... it's a casino right?!! !)
Anyway , here in the land of AIM .... again I find myself surrounded with shiny things. Dollar a dime companies with the odd growing miracle made up of dirt mainly but maybe with some shiny stuff inside it. Is this the miracle ? A tiny company with a savvy MD and a brown up BOD made up of previous winners ! These aren't gamblers are they. They hate to lose !
So I'm hoping for a big yaaay at the end of this one. It didn't look much of a winner when I bought it. I just like gold and it had been a while since entering a casino. And boy, is AIM one big casino! But as time goes on this looks more and more like a winning streak.
Let's hope that in GGPs case both the house and its shareholders all win win !
GLA!
