Hi Scsiborg, I have reduced my holding here from 8 months equivalent ‘salary’ to two month’s. Fortunately my reductions resulted in a small profit but my gains elsewhere can comfortably carry two months salary. However, that is not the point as I am investing my pension with the aim of continued financial independence and having had a virtual zero return having placed substantial risk is not good enough. I gotta look myself in the eye and ask if I have really learnt lessons from the past, like rule 1 back the BoD before all the other rules. Or does the risk reward truly stack up when you look at ECO for example who are on the cusp of a significant proven hydrocarbon frontier play, with much less downside risk, and granted, less upside than Bpc, but one is comparing a potential 10 bagger to a Bpc 100 bagger at the extremes such is the attraction of FOMO, but to be a successful investor protecting capital is paramount even if it means missing out on the odd winners further downstream. Bpc is such a difficult call but your approach is right, just chuck in what you can easily afford to loose and if it come up brill if not nothing ventured. Reminds me of one of my very rare visits to a casino and I actually one with three single numbers coming up on roulette I walked out with about 50x my stake. That said I no longer gamble apart from Aim now. Good luck with your investments. Trek. 13, 00, 44.
