How to develop a superpower memoey.
I sent off for this book and got my application returned thanking me for my order but asking me to sign the cheque.
After a clash of heads a Patrick Thistle player ran over to the touch line and told then manager John Lambie, boss he is concussed he doesn’t know who he is.
Lambie’s reply was, tell him he is f#£&ing Pele.
Great post DTE, I see the ones who should be inpatients are getting a bit impatient.
It has been a bit of a wait but not for too much longer I hope.
Good luck to all, hold on to the golden tickets.
Brad,
Sadly she injured her leg badly in her next race and had to be retired, still she won at Musselburgh as well as Carlisle and we had a lot of fun.
Funny thing is after having the horse, which had allways been a dream, I lost interest in horse racing and hardly bother with it now.
Horse racing and shares investing have a lot in common and you can get a real buzz from both when you back a winner.
Sounds like a great bet to me Brad.
I once had a third share in a racehorse, we went to Carlisle and in the paddock before the race the trainer said to the jockey, she is going chasing after this so if you are five lengths clear over the last keep pushing her out.
Great feeling going home with my belly full of Champagne and my pockets full of cash.
Could Tlou repeat history.
Thanks Scott, just hope my masterplan works. I anost hit the jackpot on AIM just over 20 years ago during the dot com boom.
I bought 25,000 shares in a company, As Seen On Screen at 7.5 pence a share and sold them a week or two later at 10.5 pence per share making me a nice profit of £800.
I then watched as the shares went ro £75 over the next few years, which would have made them worth about £1.8 million and even if I had kept the profit in shares about £800K.
I have made plenty of losses on Aim but also plenty of winners and there are plenty of good companies on Aim and the chance of a multibagger is probably better than the main markwt.
Some of my current holdings are Eck 6p to 74p, Iom 45p to 289p, Boo 36p to 321p.
So there are plenty of good opportunities.
If you like books I would highly recommend “The Art of Execution” by Lee Freeman-shor.
It came out last year but if I had read it 30 years ago I would have made lits of money.
Good luck.
Scott,
I may have gone a bit over the top but 1.25 million are options and I was delighted to get them at that price and happy with the way my trades panned out. So I will not lose on the options if things go pear shaped.
I did a similar trade a few years ago and went over the top with Sound Energy Warrants which end up working very well for me.
I also have more money invested in AIM stocks elsewhere and have done very well on Aim in the past.
As (possibly Jim Slater) said, Elephants don’t run. (Except in Botswana I hope)).
Time will tell if I am right or wrong but if you look at the potential revenue from the various projects, write off the cost over 25 years and consider the chances of a takeover when things start to come together then huge returns could be on the horizon at some point.
Thanks Brad,
Including options I am sitting on about 3.5 million at the moment so I better not be too greedy.
Normally I would be tearing my hair out with the share price, but with Tlou I feel very confident and relaxed I could be wrong but I think that patience will be rewarded.
I hope so it will be a nice bonus for my partner and kids.
If we can make progress there could be a snowball effect which will take the share price to levels which are not even in people’s dreams.
Good luck to all.
Hi Brad,
Great time to buy wish i had spare funds available we must be almost there, next few weeks should be interesting and would be nice if those who had patience are rewarded.
Not possible they will be in a closed period due to the ongoing negotiations
Brad since it is the weekend here is a puzzle for you.
Three old ladies live together and one day their TV breaks down, they decide to buy one for £30 from a second hand TV shop, they each hand over £10 and the shop owner says that he will have the tv delivered that afternoon.
The owner has a liquid lunch and decides that £30 was a bit steep for the tv, he then gets his driver to take the tv and gives the driver 5 single pounds to give to the old ladies. The driver decides to have some money for himself and puts £2 in his pocket.
Instead of paying £30 the old ladies have paid three times £9 being £27, the driver has £2.
Where is the other £1.
Brad, are you sure that they are rats, I thoughtt that we had the same problem some time ago but it was actually birds, which can make quite a noise sunning about the loft or roof.
Anyway I am hoping for news soon we must be almost there.
Thanks Oldbutnotwisa, a few years ago the Daily Telegraph made it the best joke ever, I think it was originally done by Clement Freud.
Glad it brought a smile to your face.
A chap says that he is off to the pub, he is told in no uncertain terms by his wife that if he gets drunk or sick again that he is out of the house for good and the marriage is over.
Chap goes to the pub and is enjoying a good session when disaster strikes and he is sick all down the front of his new suit.
He tells his mate about the consequences of this misfortune and how he will be homeless and about to be divorced with all sorts of problems.
Hos friend suggests that when he gets home he explains to his wife that he was enjoying a quiet pint when a drunk came up to him and was sick all down his front but that the drunk had apologised profusly and given him £20 to get the suit cleaned and at this point he should take the £20 from an insidd pocket to show his wifr.
All went to plan until he pulled two £20 notes from his pocket, his wife asked what the other one was for and he confessed that it was from thd guy who shat in his pants.
Must have been a full moon last night
No it is MM
More money.
I am sure Appi will enlighten everyone
Obviously gone a bit East Ham.
There are. People who can help.
Apologies Brad but I’ve been waiting years to use that one.
I was most impressed with the article on Botswana, very surprised that it did not do more for the share price.
I think that we may be close to lots of significant news and I am confident about the next few weeks, good luck to all.
