RE:It’s easy to appreciate the enthusiastic joy spread Bogfit, yes it is devestating to lose. The old risk / reward gambit that we all take everyday. The further out on the limb you totter to get at those precious few... umm bananas, nuts or whatever, then the more likely the limb breaks and you (or any one of us) tumbles to the ground.
I take huge risks and I no longer beat myself up about it not working out. I have actually been wiped out, almost bankrupt 3 times but have always paid eveyone but myself if credit or wages were involved. In my case twice it was bad timing twice and a massive fraud by a planted (HA's) employee. No amount of police etc were ever any help. It's just da way it is. I don't complain, I move on.
Long story short we are all gamblers here... win some lose some... end up filthy rich... end up in a ditch it is up to you to partake or not... eyes open Unfortunately no matter what you do in this short life it is all a gamble. Some people forgo any pleasure on the GAMBLE that they will have some form of ever lasting reward. Some don't want to risk leaving their hometown out of fear that what they encounter is worse than what they have ... you decide.
I don't brag, I calls'm as I sees'm. I was asked about my position here so I answered. On this one it may be alot compared to some and an unrecognizable spec of dust compared to others... I do not care to compare. I just do what I do. I don't take anything very serious here because, well, it's the internet. It is all just bullzshite and we do not live very long soooo... I just don't take it too serious. Call me what you want, if you think that's what you want to do. I don't care. I may respond. I may not. Pffft... whatever.

There was once a time when copper and PH were both $5. Investors who were experienced both in the market and the copper industry did the DD and they were certain PH would be a winner. Point being this cheerleading is starting to sound a lot like Dj vu to me. They didn’t think the merry-go-round would ever stop either.
I’m happy with my NCU profits as well, but I don’t feel a need to chortle and brag about my success, how many shares, and what I’m up, etc. I’m reminded of a crowd around a hot dice table on a Saturday night. It’s like cheering their team on to victory. Obviously some lack the character to accept good fortune with grace, and to my mind that would be unfortunate.
Nor is it instructive to post the ask and bid minute by minute. The only people interested in that information are people who are already watching it. And that only tells us what has already happened – what I want to know is what happens next? Next 5 minutes, next half hour, before the close, or in two weeks. And yes, predicting the future is much harder than reporting the market, but that’s why the ability to do so is so important, and so rare.
