RE: RE: RE: Farewell Till Spring!
RE: RE: RE: Farewell Till Spring!Thanks for the elaboration metalbrain. I don't disagree with you - and you certainly did not hurt my feelings. I picked up VIT originally through Gateway - which I owned well before the takeover - and have a modest holding of only 60,000 shares. Fortunately I garnered a good portion of my position below 0.20 so I am more than pleased with their progress so far. I have far larger positions in Great Basin Gold and others but I am definately long. I do considerable due diligence on my investments and rarely dump on a seasonal basis - kills me on taxes because I have not had a losing year for decades - even in 2008 I was up 24% overall on my junior holdings. I am very selective and have done well for many years. I made my first big killing back in the Hemlo days with Corona - but have also done well with others such as Kinross (bought Kinross 10 years back at 0.68) and have always tried to remain patient. I am new to Stockhouse but I have a been learning a lot about how others invest. I actually avoid companies that do a lot of hype (remember Bri-X) and have done well sticking to that policy. I do appreciate your comments and wish you luck - hopefully we'll see you again in the Spring!
