I will leave you guys to it. In the words of Arnie......I'll be back. GLA.

Actually, it was 7.5% gain Steve. My bad.

Cheers Steve. I will take my tax free 5% gain and treat me and my brother to some beers and curry later in the week. We will both raise our glasses to you.

I just say it how it is folks. I don't expect any of you to listen to me, but I have been very transparent over the last few days. Sadly. I was very unimpressed with the interview and so was my brother. We have both done presentations to people in the past during our sales days and that interview seemed ill prepared and off the cuff. Like I said, I wish all of you the very best, but for me personally, I cannot invest in hot air. I need something concrete and don't see why investors should suffer a raise to get something meaningful. We all had enough of the thousands of warrants washing through and previous raises etc. aimo.

Thankfully, I bought another 2K's worth on the dip this morning at 0.564 and sold out on the high after the interview. Perfect timing for me. I sold my entire 5.316K in one go and made a decent return, seeing as though I was only in for one day. My buy this morning reduced my average to 0.578, so I'm very happy with myself to say the least! I watched the interview and felt as though it was badly put together. Lots of waffling and they both looked quite scruffy in my opinion. I was left feeling empty and wondered what I had put my money into. Nothing in the short term and when there is something good, Ronjon confirmed that they are likely to do a raise. That was my signal to sell, hence my silence. I am sure things will eventually turn out ok for investors, but this is not for me in the near future. I am a trader and cannot wait for them to dally around in the background, wondering what thoroughbred to bring into their stable at a cost to investors. I wish all of you the best etc, but for now, I am out. aimo.

I have been taking Ronjon's anti-ageing pills for some time now and am proud that I fought in the Napoleonic Wars. Panamabob is my great great great grandson. GLA.

Crownos, everybody has their own strategy relevant to their holding / share price average. I am glad you have done well and made some decent returns etc, but for me personally, every time I have tried to long term trade, I have ended up in the red. I do agree that CAPAI is at the start of it's journey and there are exciting times ahead. Fingers crossed, we get some decent news next week and hope that the share price settles down. aimo. GLA.

That may be the case, but who holds for 5000% profits...? In the real world, most of us will look to double our investments and leave the free carry for more gains. We all know that it never works that way. Free carry normally dwindles away and then the investors convince themselves that they have not lost out as it was free carry. Yes, you have lost out. You have lost the free carry and therefore made zero profit. It is a false economy. aimo.

Islandgirl, unfortunately, I do not do long term holds anymore. It hasn't really worked for me, although some would argue that I have missed out on huge gains. I can honestly say, it does not work for me overall. I find that you tend to end up 30-40% down or more with long term holds as the herd move on to new pastures. I also feel that the way people trade these days is different to how they traded 3 or 4 years ago. There were more long term holders around a few years ago and a lot more patience. Since covid, this has changed. People want a quick buck and rarely have any patience imo. I have had to change the way I trade based on this change of attitude. It has become so bad, that there are folks out there who trade the 5% gains. What chance do long term holders have when traders are trading minimal gains? aimo.

Panamabob, I call it jab and grab theory. As I say, lots of little wins. Don't get too greedy. Sometimes you might miss out on a meteoric rise etc, but so what? As long as you are making money along the way, enjoy the journey. I have had to learn not to beat myself up if I sell out too early. Hindsight is indeed a wonderful thing, but it works the other way. I have sold out before a dip in the share price. I did it with this share over the last few days. Luckily, I bought in earlier in the week and sold out soon afterwards. I bought in again yesterday on the dip and will see what happens next week. I expect the news to start flooding in next week, so may hold on a little longer than I normally do. My aim is to top slice as early as I can and rather than selling out completely this time around, I will try to maintain a low average. aimo and dyor. This is not financial advice and that applies to everything I have written today of course. GLA.

I took a lot of abuse on the GST board Mr H. I have not gone back to that board for some time now and I have no wish to invest in that share again, because of the community on that message board. It is extremely toxic imo and I avoid that type of environment these days. GST won't start motoring until the end of next month / beginning of July. I cannot wait until then as there are so many other near term opportunities out there in my opinion. aimo of course.

That is why I had to change my strategy. Long term holding is a no no for me these days. If you look at long term investments, many of them will be at least 30-40% down on your original investment. I had to change how I did things as a direct result of this. Some call it lack of patience or being foolish etc, but I make more money now than what I did several years ago when I used to either stare at profit or not sell in time and lose out. I do not wish to offend anybody when I mention that I do trade shares now. It is a weird thing day trading as you seem to forget what you did one day to the next as you are always looking for your next win. I wait for natural pull-backs, knee-jerk reactions, raises, poor rns statements or misunderstood rns statements etc. I never buy at the top and never buy into a good rns or fomo. Healthy pull-backs are all part and parcel of any stock. What is important imo, is liquidity. Many of you have touched on this point today. I avoid stocks that are boring. I go where the herd are. Imagine a huge watering well and a big herd of water buffalo. Go where the herd are if you want to make money is what I often tell myself. Where there is liquidity and excitement, there is opportunity. CAPAI is one of those shares imo. ALRT is another one of those shares as of yesterday. Tower Resources and UOG will become those types of shares in due course. Always DYOR, but never fomo in to a share because you will undoubtedly end up anchored and left holding the baby. aimo. GLA.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but the important point to make, is that apart from GGP, I sold out of those shares in profit, so although I missed out on the opportunity of making a lot of money, I didn't lose out as profit is profit. What I do not do these days is long term holding. I have stopped doing that as many of you already know. I make lots of little wins which add up to one big win. I have UOG in my portfolio which could be considered as a long term hold as it is the only one I have had for more than 6 months. I am 50% down on that, but have every faith that it will recover one day. Apart from that, I am in and out of shares every day / week. I traded ALRT, CAPAI, CTAI this week to mention but a few. I am back in with CAPAI again by the way, in case any of you ask. My average is 0.59p and I have a few grand invested. A modest half a million or so shares. I believe that anything under 0.60p is a bargain. GLA, aimo.

Thanks. I do make mistakes every now and again. Nobody is perfect. It is very difficult to get it right on every transaction. I sold out of CTAI earlier in the week for a small profit, only for it to go up the following day. I started investing in this share back in the Dukemount days and have been in and out of this share at least 7 or 8 times since then. Somebody pointed out that I should have left my original investment alone and turned my computer off and enjoyed a 1000% profit etc. I made a few grand on GST and sold out a few months too early and lost tens of thousands by not keeping my original investment in. I did trade it a few times after and made a few more grand, so not too bad in the end. I sold out of HEMO too early and lost tens of thousands. My worst performance had to be putting circa 10K into GGP at 0.43p and selling up with a loss out of boredom. We all know what happened to the share price. I missed out on 500K and there are others too, MYSQ, Helium shares etc etc. I am by no means the perfect trader and am not afraid to admit that, but what I do well, is make a lot of little wins which all add up to one big win. A few hundred here and there, a couple of grand here and there. I made £1200 this week alone on just small trades. As it is in a tax free isa, that is the equivalent of over £1400 if I had to go out and do a normal 9-5 job. There are people out there laughing at that amount, but I am not flash. I lead a very basic life and have everything I need. Done the houses, fast cars, holidays, art works, watches etc etc.

MrH, even when I am invested, I say it how I see it. Aren't we all traders at the end of the day?

I just say it how I see it MMaker. I welcome all comments here and do not judge, as it is called freedom of speech. As long as nobody is rude or says things which are simply not true, then don't be afraid to say what you are thinking. Nobody is going to judge you at the end of the day. I have never green boxed somebody. aimo.

Nice post Crownos, but why was Pumpky ridiculed for discussing warrants the other day then? It seems he was right to raise the topic of impending warrants etc. I think the share price will creep up again next week as more news will come our way and hype, hope and greed will return no doubt. Then it doesn't really matter if there are still any outstanding warrants, as these will be swallowed up in the pursuit of riches. aimo.

Absolutely great for the day traders. Looks like I was right with my assumptions of the share price.

Warrie, rather than worrying about whether or not you are going to get your 99 with a big flake in the forest, try booking a well deserved holiday for yourself.

I see some of you have resorted to talking about football and not the dwindling share price. I personally detest the game and the whole culture around football. I am a rugby man and used to play rugby when I was younger. It taught me discipline and respect. A true gentleman's game.
