Looking back

I realized that I've owned this stock for a long time, since it was called Uragold Bay resources.  I think I bought it in 2010.  I remember I bought a lot of shares (280,000 turns out) but couldn't remember how I came to have so much less now because I know I hadn't sold any over the years.    Did a little research and reminded myself that in 2012 there was a 4 for 1 reverse split.  I also had the shares  split between my TFSA and an investment account.  One year I decided to get them all into my TFSA account and was advised by my bank that the fastest/easiest way was to sell them in my investment account, transfer money into my TFSA and rebuy them.  In the process of waiting for the funds to get into my TFSA, the price increases and reduced my total number of shares a little more.  This stock had been so low priced for so long that I hadn't even been payed attention to it for years.  It was a nice surprise when I checked in a couple months ago and saw what was happening.
