Personally, I picked up on GGP within this board sometime around Jan/Feb of this year. Initially I was quite sceptical and just assumed that this was another “pump” story. However, as I started doing my own investigation and research, I started to feel a lot more comfortable and positive about it all. Whether I believed if there was or wasn’t any gold going to be discovered, the fact that Newcrest were spending tens of millions of pounds of their own (shareholder) money drilling and confirming the situation, did give me enough confidence to make a reasonable investment.
I would say that it was the “actions” rather than the “words” that got me taking this more seriously. It wasn’t without its risks, but so far it is all turning out quite nicely. I’m still learning, and sceptical, but I do at least try to remain open minded when I see new a new company appear with an interesting sounding prospect.
I know this will sound so amateur but I actually found this stock on Freetrade back in Feb when there weren’t too many stocks in the App. I was essentially browsing stocks, found this one, did some research on it and basically got very lucky that I invested at the time I invested. Make no mistake it was a gamble that turned out well - it’s easy to say in hindsight that the only way was up for this stock.
I found them here too… it feels like freetrade is a really good place to find good shares based on the discussions. Just hoping that that doesn’t get harder as more shares are added, more people post, and the good stuff becomes more difficult to separate out from the background noise.
Same here, I found it via a post in this forum at the start of the year, popped a little bit in to keep it on my radar then spent some time researching, reviewing the different drilling results and looking up on Newcrest then started putting more in
Found it through the FreeTrade community forum in December/January… did I place £2k in then? Nope. Did I at least invest something, yes. Thank you FreeTrade forum. DYOR
Sheer luck and stupidity started me with GGP. I saw it in the app, had bought some shares in something else and had a few pounds left over. Saw it as a penny stock and threw my change into it. Same with Eurasia as well.
Once I noticed it move a bit I actually started looking into it on the forum here and that convinced me to commit more.
Hes on under CODF but no share talk anymore, so don’t know where he does that if at all. You could ask him I suppose, he was always very generous with info when he was on here
Just a head up - GDXJ will be buying ~$40 million USD worth of shares next week… This is because our market cap has increased significantly since the last rebalance compared to the other companies in the index. This is the same fund that bought in at September and you may recall the crazy SP action in that week.
Interesting, how have they ended up short on this?
Welcome the buying pressure ($40m is fairly big when daily vols are ~£15m) I just don’t get why a stock increasing in value requires a rebalance from them.
