RE: 10 percent drop in last month6 Oct 2024 14:46
Win/a few years ago.i bought into a small West African gold miner,"Avesoro" that was when gold was at $1200. It was a disaster,it ended up being taken private ,i lost £43K. I should have bought physical gold(we live and learn). Gold is a good hedge. You can take all the stress out of fearing a crash by building up a cash pile( RCI bank pay 4:5% on instant access acc) . Then if there is crash you can take advantage. In the 2020 March crash,i bought Lloyds Bank at 23p and sold it at 46p. The quality stocks like GSK will always come back,its the 4th biggest drug company in the world. I got it very wrong with AstraZeneca. I bought it at £42 when Woodford was crying because he had to sell it,because of withdrawals from his fund. I like a mug,i sold it at £48,because i saw something else i liked. I made money but i could have nearly trebled my money with those lovely dividends .Astra restructured it took them 10 years. GSK are attempting to do the same, that is why im so bullish.
