Elephants and wildebeast3 Mar 2019 16:24
Wildlife must be very pedestrian in your parts, Aim4Ut.
Elephants aren’t what they used to be these days; they used to be big beasts of significance..
But now apparent;ly, me only investing in one share is an “elephant in the room!”
It’s fruitless articulating the truth to you Aim, because your thoughts are two-dimensional, bounded by the circumference of a smaller circle. Only cynicism rules in that world.
So, would it be okay with you if I have 2 shares? 3...maybe 4 or 5?...does the elephant get smaller then? Does it conform to the limits of your own immature perspective?
Oh hum, but for what it’s worth - AGAIN - you should play the ball, not the man- and just take the info, musings and opinions on my posts as jus that. I’ve never tried to pull the share price down or pump it up, Ive always said this has great potential, and , last year ., predicted wed be at about 4 - 6p by Spring - we aren’t, but maybe could be.
Over the years I’ve had loads of shares, usually varying between ZERO and about THREE. In 2010 and earlier I traded dozens (100s maybe) of stock, but the effort wasn;’t worth the outcome.
In recent years - last year - I’ve held Petro Matad, Union Jack Oil, the year before that Edgon Resources, Oxima (to become N4 Pharma) - all there for all to see...as Jay knows) Probably has a few other dabbles.
I rarely hold more than a handful and sometimes none. I’ve reduced down to NFX as an investment as this is what I’ve always done - like a canny poster on iii of yesteryear “2Shares” - he always reduced to 2. I cant be bothered with many small caps.
To me , this is an investment - but I can challenge my own investment and like doing so - that’s how you learn - by hearing other retorts and views - but I’m also on here because of behaviour of posters - which fascinates me (and saddens me too -
You genuinely make me feel downhearted, Aim4Utopia). I like calling out BS - in my past life professionally and more recent ventures.
I called out a lot of BS on Oxus Gold 2014/2015 ..That was pretty much my only share back then..
95% of posters chasing the rainbow , most got burned by believing their own confirmation bias. I got slaughtered for contrarian views (which ended up being right). I made quite a bit but blew some on a punt , Strat Aero.
You wrongly stated that I said I’d “made a fortune” out of shares, and that puzzles you. I’ve actually made enough out of “investments” , Not shares. You make many false assumptions. “Investments “ being things OTHER than shares.
Shares have added to income over the years, but I’m interested only to a limited degree - and that degree at the moment is one share - THIS one. Sometime over the next year, if this fails, I’ll retreat burned and not touch shares again for some time. If it comes good, I’ll probably still pull most out, leave some LT and have a dabble on something else.
You seem to find my one-share investment fascinating - a lot more than I do. Get out more, is my a
