Perspective and reflection19 Mar 2026 20:09
A year ago......id likely have panicked and sold. Today! I did this seveeral times before with GGP and other shares. I lost almost every time. Rather than yesterday or the day before. Perhaps if id have sold a couple of days ago that would have been a good thing, only to buy back tomorrow! But then id be a trader- which im not sharp enough yet to have a go at! Im aware of my limitations for now!
Whilst this feels sh*te.....it feels a little as if our (mine) hopes and dreams are disappearing point by point, taking a grounded approach....nothing has actually changed. Everything that has kept us invested until now remains the same. Perhaps even more so!
We have been here before....and we will be here again. Not to mettion to ground ourselves - If we look at the SP 12 months back we are still beating the sh*t out of just about everyone else. I had to pay for a small bathroom refurb today. This cost me a Huge 4k in labor. Sadly last week this would have cost me 3.2k! But then I also quickly reminded myself that actually, this probably only cost me about Β£1500 given that we are nearly 300% up! Perspective.
Speedymeady always posts about the price of gold. I take a good bit of time trying to research who to listen to, who has been right over the years for predictions and all of that good stuff. There's a very small few, most of which you dont find easily and make little noise. The rest is ALL noise, click bait. Speedy posts decent stuff, researched and factual.
Bamps - clearly a hugely experienced individual in the mining sector and talks facts, rather than speculation. Again I assume heavily into GGP financial and comfortably so knowing what hes invested in.
E1 - im not sure what you do or did for a living but you seem pretty bloody clued up on it all. The macro stuff in particular- which also hasn't changed. I assume again heavily into GGP.
Apart from all the noise- the above 3 stand out as factual, information sharing professionals that I crudely like to assume are high wealth individuals.......from investing in the right places over the years and trusting they're education and judgment.
Lastly....theres Victoria who brings entertainment to all. And that is not to be taken for granted.
As E1 says.....stay with the signal. (It's still.bloody hard work not panicking and selling- but my instinct tells me all will be OK π¬)
