Price of Gold still rising

I'm 42K profit up on one of my investments today, GGG Resources. Much more to come held over the long term i feel. They've found 2million ounces of Gold for starters !

42k! What was your initial investment amount?

Thats a big punt!

 

[Oh Ed not again.]

Location + sig + post =

(Seriously, I'm just massively jealous. I'll be lucky to get out with my investment capital at this rate! )

Around 22K.

Copy/paste. I'm eyeing up rabbit's feet and lucky charms at the moment, can't seem to catch a break!

Yes bad news there, no idea why BHP pulled out. This is why it's always wise to top slice when you get the chance.

Well its been an odd few months for me, glad things are looking up now

Not that much luck needed really. There's been plenty of small cap miners with huge potential that have been ignored by the market for a long time now. You just have to fill your boots before the herd arrive

KEA is my only real dog at the moment - down around 50% from my purchase but will just leave it alone for now.

i am still in it

they sold out because they were only ever interested in the northern field FOGL had. apparently they were always going to.

they now leave FOGL to prospect the south on its own.

Got out of GGG yesterday after holding those for quite some time - didn't have that many though !

Now what next

 

[Jeffstar]

You sold too early mate, GGG up another 10% today, you may have been wise to top slice only leaving you with a completely risk free investment. Doesn't matter what the sp does after that and can buy more on dips if they occur. Mine will be held for years in my SIPP for a nice retirement

Yep got in a few days back seems like promising stuff, just got into FML this morning so some interesting times ahead.

Probably been asked a few times in this thread but I don't really fancy trawling through all the pages.

As someone looking to start research and gain knowledge of the stock market, can anyone direct me to a starting point? Not looking to throw any money in at all, just want some years theory behind me before I start trading. But I'd like to start trading, when I feel ready.

Any recommended books/resources/articles etc would be great.

Questor (telegraph investment tips) is usually an interesting read

iii forums have a lot of information (just bear in mind that the average poster on the forums sounds like they are about 12 - do not under any circumstances take any "tips" from them).

citywire is a good read

Reuters can be interesting

shareprice.co.uk is a great place to keep tabs on stocks that you are following and has a RSS feed
