Ahhhhhhh young master Gideons was a full-blown grade-A nutter.

Got super-upset with me making money from trading BP one Saturday and made all of the posts below, with some even more raving than these.

Was very amusing.

Needless to say BP has worked out to be even more profitable for me recently than it was back then.

I thought I'd just politely remind him of how much he's missed out on.

Heheheh.

I still see posts here occasionally from him, but under another guise now - he's had a few over the years (doesn't realise how easy it can be to ID some people).

Lolol.

He rully shoulda listened to me.

Lololol.

Lol

Mine don't know what I'm doing or how far along it all is.

Only regret is that I won't be around to see their faces when they do find out.

:)

Haven't been here for a while and it seems overly quiet.

Did I miss something?

Admin clean house or something?

Thanks for the tip but I've gone way past that now.

Lol.

I secured my own future some years ago and that's all banked.

I retired when I was 54 (2014) and am now in the fortunate position of not even needing to draw down on those investments any more.

I just started receiving my state pension but I'm just going to continue to feed that into my ISAs.

All I do now is live my life and try to grow my estate to eventually benefit my heirs.

:)

Btw, BP has been 1/5 of my portfolio for some time.

I flip half and hold half for dividends.

Every time I try and divest myself of some the price falls and I buy them back.

I make more from flipping them than holding.

I still have some now which I bought for less than 200p (in 2021 I think that happened).

I sold most of the rest of my portfolio just to buy those when I saw happen.

But I've been buying into them since 2014.

They're possibly more volatile than UKOG ever was, but over a longer period of time.

UKOG used to move 20% several times a day, whereas BP might move 25% over six months.

Still better than holding for the dividend, if you can afford to take the risk.

;)

Alas, they do not know best.

As they have continually proven over the last nine years.

They just want to convince others they do so they have new buyers available to whom they can offload their mistakes.

I have done well from BP, both dividends and flipping, but only mention them here as I tipped them to others a few years ago and was shouted down by some of our fantasists. One in particular. lol.

They've not been my best by a long shot though.

Over 18 months I got +10,000% from UKOG (not recently).

I'm currently still sitting on another one (just a bog-standard investment fund) that is +3000%, although I think that one may have seen it's time ended as well now.

Also invested in Aston Martin last year. Luckily only a very small amount as that's down 40% now. lol.

Swings & roundabouts.

Generally I've seen 20% p.a. average growth to my whole portfolio since 2003, which is a helluva lot more than I set out to target.

Mostly due to pure luck.

I continue to wish good luck and good profits to all investors, whomever they may be.

At the end of the day, it's all of us -vs- the system.

:)

Dickie.

U and me both.

I still keep an eye on this but see no signs of opportunity for it to repeat anything like that again (Yet - maybe it will one day, who knows).

It tends to have a little punt every now and then but there's little warning; it doesn't last long before falling over again; and the risk/reward ratio doesn't make it worth my money any more.

Been a good couple of years now since I risked anything here.

Good luck.

Not negative, Alan55.

All just "realists" dear boy.

I know you post using a different name nowadays, but just wanted to give you a blast-from-the-past to amuse you.

Amuses the hell outta me, you ole expert you.....:-

ROFLLMFAO!!!

It reached 11p in 2017 after Stephen Trumpercon told the BBC there were billions of barrels of beautiful bigly oil under Horse Hill, everyone knew it and he was the stable genius who told them.

I bought in at 3p a few days before that and sold at 10p (on the way down).

Trish,

How can UKOG rely heavily upon the government when they have not received any funding from them to date.

Diddly squat!

They rely on mug punters like yourself who don't have the first clue about what they're doing, switching from posting positively to negatively with the weather.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...!

And yet you say trading won't work and accuse me of being a ramper.

So apparently there is a need.

Lololol

You do need a good spread.

The 20% spread you saw on Friday (a rare sight) would have got you something around 10-15% profit.

Ooops.

* £100k

Before I lost my bottle my last trade got me £1000k.

Then I traded in £10k tranches for a while, and finally the odd £1ks, when the risk got too great.

It's an AIM share, so there's no 0.5% stamp.

My trading fees, even on expensive Hargreaves' platform, was £11.95 at most (down to around £5.75) per trade.

You do not need £250k to find profits from trading.

I am no UKOG ramper. Neither am I a UKOG deramper.

I simply voice my personal opinion, in the hope of finding others (anyone at all) a quick buck.

The spreads here are currently too few and too small to warrant the risk for my involvement.

Others may see things differently and there ARE still ways to profit from UKOG (within the above caveats).

* probably, a 10% profit.

With the benefit of hindsight, and as I keep saying; the only way to make any profit here is by flipping the shares quickly when an opportunity presents.

Buying low and selling high, quickly.

There was a near 20% spread yesterday, which would've enabled the brave an opportunity to gain, possibly, a 10% profit.

Still not enough risk/reward incentives for me to get involved again here, but the opportunity did make a decent profit possible.

Don't discount trading.

It is high risk, but it's also high reward.

If you can get the timing right.

It should be noted that there are vastly better (and safer) options for holding and for trading elsewhere.

All the idiots will be back again soon, lead by the biggest2.

David Fuller-Gas

Lololol.

Made me chuckle.

The sad thing about being old, grumpy, and able to do the things you weren't before, is family commitments keep you from doing them for even longer.

Lol.

Investmentwise I take fewer risks now as I can't spare the time to take greater risks.

If I see something I don't need to wet-nurse, I may get involved.

Otherwise, I'm just doing my regular 10%+ p.a. these days.

Even get my state pension in a couple of weeks!

Sent off for my free bus pass last week.

Lololol

"Money comes to money"

Watching UKOG is just free entertainment.

Lakobos,

I agree with everything you said.

However, and in fairness, it was possible to make much more than 400% once and in much less time.

I first bought in in 2017, with the intention of holding for the long-term and forgetting about the.

I have an aversion to things going a long way up quickly and falling over quickly.

So I sold when mine went from 3p to 10p very quickly, intending to accept a lucky profit.

But then things became incredibly volatile around a relatively fixed value.

For the next eighteen months I flipped UKOG shares taking my investment from £1,000 to +£100,000.

10,000%.

I had no experience and eventually lost my bottle.

I traded it a few more times but the rewards soon outgrew the potential for reward.

Not to say I wouldn't again, but certainly not at those levels.

Trading this for quick returns and having to spend a lot of time watching it, has been the only way to ever profit from it.
