Hi to Rob22925 Feb 2014 20:07
Thank you both to the welcome onto the SYQ bb, it's awfully polite, and a pleasant change from the hustle and bustle of others.
I'm a UK resident, and been here for about 15 years, and have been investing most of that time. I still go back home once a year to see that everything's OK without me and of course to check up on the Aussie share market.
I seem to pop in and out of Aim depending on my investment risk at the time but enjoy researching and following smaller companies.
I think it's quite bizarre that I have in the past owned SOLG , to my memory the only small cap mining share I've ever owned here. I'm sorry to tell you that I made fabulous gains on it probably by good luck than good skill, but all for the taking. If you look back on the SOLG chart I was in for that massive spike and sold in the afternoon...I couldn't believe it!
These days I'm concentrating on new ideas in tech areas like nano and the like but it's still early days. I am following IKA and think its very promising but contrary to my normal boundaries its not based on maths. As for AMED I've known about this reverse takeover cash shell for a couple of years. Qatar Investment Authority are major shareholders and I just like the way they're going about the business..... long term though and yes it could come to grief.
I am wary of the market at the mo with so many people seemingly unaware of risk in penny shares on these boards and how favourable conditions have been in the last 18 months. Things can change very quickly on Aim and we all need to be watchful. Having said that its great to have fun and reward ourselves after the hard grafting and research. Good luck fellas talk soon. Trev
