From a long term holder with a very modest 152323 shares I wish each and everyone of you a happy and healthy 2021. I believe it will be a transformational year for BMN and even tried to add today, but NT continuously. Many thanks to the brilliant researchers on here who have helped me keep holding through the years. Special mention to Alfacomp who has never lost faith and to Knuttie who always makes me laugh with his outstanding humour in defending this board against the endless trolls. I salute you all and look forward to the £1 party, as we never quite managed to organise the 30p one. I made my dreams come true this year with GGP, but BMN will be the icing on the cake in 2021 and I will be raising a glass tonight in celebration of what is to come.
I am writing this with tears in my eyes, as it has been a life changing day for me. I originally bought into GGP before Newmont walked away from EG with an initial £5K investment, which was serious money for me. My average was 1.97p and initially I was hoping for 6p, but when that fateful Monday morning RNS dropped I was devastated and decided I had to hold. I have MS and had to finish work 4 years ago after a significant relapse and financially it has been a struggle. For the first year I concentrated on being mobile again and then for the last 3 years I have read this board intently and listened to the extremely knowledgeable and selfless contributors who have shared their endless research (I will be forever grateful to each and every one of you) and decided to sit on my hands, as I had a dream of owning a luxury apartment in Turkey (my husbands homeland). The climate helps my illness immensely and I decided my target would be 35p, as this would get me my dream. I cannot believe today my target was reached and I now have the money sat in my HL shares and isa account. I am 55 on 28th December and can access my company pension, so to be able to purchase an apartment outright is incredible and beyond my wildest dreams. Unlike many LTH's here I don't have time to wait for even bigger returns, as I need to have a quality of life. The vitamin d levels I will now receive spending 6 months of the year in Turkey will be amazing and as my Neurologist has often advised I need as high a level as I can get to prevent further debilitating relapses. My personal circumstances have made me sell, but this is only the beginning for GGP and I hope you all fulfill your own dreams with this share. I will end this post by wishing you all a wonderful christmas and fantastic new year!
Your post touched me so much and I am deeply sorry for your loss TMT. The panic and endless negativity today on this board pales into significance, as money cannot buy you happiness. I wish you and your loved ones a peaceful Christmas with time to reflect on your memories and blessings and thank you for sharing something so personal.
This is my first post as you now have to become a member to read this chat board. I vividly remember when Newmont walked away from EG. That Monday morning RNS made my heart sink to my feet and my initial £4200 investment took a 60% hammering. I didn't sell a single share as I couldn't afford to lose what was a significant amount of my savings. I then just sat on my hands reading and listening to the many knowledgeable investors like paddygall, magictrades, hydrogen speedy, viking and more recently bamps to name a few. I also had a dream to purchase an apartment in Turkey and always thought it was just a dream. Fast forward today and my investment at an average of 0.0181 is beyond what I ever thought possible. I have an exit price and will stick to it as I dont want to be greedy. There is so much news in the run up to Christmas and I am so excited as I think I may just get my dream but if not I will continue to sit on my hands because I believe this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Thank you to all those positive investors who have selflessly researched and shared their astounding knowledge on this board I will be forever grateful and to the less positive investors thank you too for the many laugh out loud moments. Good luck to each and everyone of you I sincerely hope all our dreams come true
