RE:Reply to RuudinFranceThanks mrmomo, I appreciate the effort.
Don't worry, I've got the patience and am not short of cash.
What you mention about morals, practices and other mayhem in this market, is well understood.
This does not mean that they do not manage to also screw me.
30K shares at Alexco went over to HL for pennies to the dollar.
Never mind, more faith in HL and price of silver. It'll work out fine.
For the moment it's a 14K euro red number and it's not considered a problem.
A nuisance in that they caught me with my pants down, but you know, shat happens.
Note: better with ones' pants down :-)
Much of the innings of the 35K PIPE sold, went into base- and precious metals stock and yes, they too get a beating. However I think they're quality operations though EMO starts to sound a bit iffy.
Took some money out for gifts as well.
So the portfolio went ~250K euros down. It's (the %%) been seen before. After that time (03-2020) it got me an almost 10 bagger on the whole portfoilio. Paid for the extra house. Maybe we'll see the same story repeating itself and I'll become a miljonaire for a second time.
The good thing is that this will happen to the (grand-) kids portfolios as well. Their total size exceeds mine. They gotta split 5 ways though. Their portfolios are the reason that currently I'm not in the "not so small" league anymore.
Most important, as you well know, is to
have fun.

I need some support with a solid foundation to keep the faith. Anyone got a positive spin? Not so long ago, I figured that I'd see a takeover between $4-5, but I'm no longer sure about that. Pretty happy with a diversed portfolio, even though B/P metals are not doing very well either."
Patience, a lot more of it. When there's a possible TO in the process of happening, these things usually take time and the people involved are always doing EVERYTHING they can to maxmize profits/value.......on THEIR end. The actions these "people" take in order for this process to go EXACTLY the way they want, come in many forms. From deceptions, irregular trading, questionable decisions making, even shorting their own stock......and much more. I personally still believe this gets taken out sometime in the first half of 2023. And they're not the only ones, there's like 2 or 3 more mid-cap ep's which could also go, but PIPE for now is the most obvious one imo.
I think you made a good decision to slowly divest out of you position here, since you had a large one to begin with. So selling some in the $5-7 range was a good move on your part, because i do not think Pipe get bought out more than $7, unless oil goes back over $100. Which to me seems improbable for now. But who knows really, anything could happen as we all founf out in 2020 with Corona & 2022 with Russian invading Ukraine.
Personally, i would stay out of O&G stocks, as i've been repeating on several boards, unless their UNIQUE situations like Pipe and gold& silver as well. The latter been stuck in limbo and seems like there's no interest from large investors and it doesn't know hwere to go. Just 20 years ago, with all the S that's happening now, Gold would have doubled by now. But it hasn't and that's worrying. If one has to invest in G&S, Silver is a better bet. My advice is to stick to EV metals for resource plays (like you've done with Lithium) and maybe start dipping your toes into the EV space. Stuff like ChargePoint, Blink, Rivian, Beam Global, Evgo, Wbx & Workhorse etc......
Hope this helps.....
