RE: Question......for those that know.22 Feb 2026 18:35
Thank you everyone, really! Some amazing insight and advice, and a fairly common theme throughout.
Im back at work tomorrow where ill have more spare time (yes, true beleive it or not) and ill read everything over again in more detail once im there.
No, GGP was not my first one. It was one of the first though. Actually I started by buying some small biotechnology firm called Avacta in 2020, this was amazingly exciting when it went to 250p then swiftly back down to the 40s. I lost 70% of what i put in. I made that back fortunately by doing some small and lucky trades after learning that usually small cap stuff moves big on good news. I made some with OMI and managed to sell a few yesrs ago at 39p beleive it or not. Only a couple thousand £ worth.
And then I did ok for a year in some of the big tech stocks and cashed out when I felt it was "enough" micron for example......95% up in just a few months so got shot. Luckily in time for all the US stuff making a dent in it all. But GGP has been my biggest holding, ive sold a couple small peaks and bought the dips back. Bought in also on the 5.2 p (i think??) Share offer last year and averaged down a little more. And now several 100%up.
I have a few US tech AI stocks with a small amount that simply lost too much too quickly to make it worth selling, better left where they were with my fingers crossed and patience.
I have now gone very heavily on Silver mining funds including Silvercorp, Hycroft and Jupiter gold & Silver, aware that im very mining heavy - watching everything like a hawk and hoping for the best.
Thank you all again, very much appreciated.
