Broke My Own Rule - For Greed

 Back in January 2023, I broke my own rule of selling at a 20% gain. Why? Greed. The company was CTN and they had some drilling samples that propelled the share price from 0.008 to 0.11 within 12 days of me buying the shares. But the assat results weren't in and everyone was talking up the sample quality.

So I held on.

Now, 14 months later, I have decided to sell at a 50% loss.

Oh well, lesson learned. My mistake.

At least I have now freed up that money and can get it moving again. As soon as it hits my trading account I will be jumping into another company, and I have 2 likely prospects for a 3-week turnaround.

Yes, I expect to make 20% in 3 weeks.

and then there is the possibility of a quick turnaround to another 20%, but it all comes down to timing.

And then profits go into BOT for the big day in June.

A Couple of Updates

 Well, it's Monday morning and the week has started with a bang. First, PFE announced that there was an unexpected problem with their test drill and they have had to abandon that and go to a new test drill site. A delay, but no real issue apart from that. And the market hated that. Good news for those wanting to buy, not so good for existing holders. IMC released their AGM presentation which indicates that there will be some news in December and then a very busy (and hopefully productive) 2025. Sales are good and continuing to get better and better.

2025 - an early start

 Ok., so here we go on my Trump-era goal. Just bought MXR (yes, on the ASX). AAR wants to take them over at 7 cents as a scrip payment (paying in AAR shares instead of cash). The current share price is 6.3 cents. So that should be a quick 10% gain. However... this does look like a lowball offer and may yet be increased. MXR has great assets and AAR already owns almost 20% of MXR. So AAR is committed to a deal and that may just attract other attention. It looks like a no-brainer to start 2025. Yes, there is always some risk, but this one looks pretty good. I have done a bit more research and have some exciting thoughts, including one that looks a little like another WGO (which returned handsomely on a takeover). More news coming as I do more reseach.  Another one that looks good for a quick profit is GES, but as I write this, there are no shares at the right price (.05).

 I ahd some bills to pay and these 2 got the chop: PFE - such promise, such disappointmen IMC - I always had some ethical problems with this one.  But there it is. Bills paid, and a little left over to find something new with.
