Hey, I've been taking a break from HC and just saw this, had been reading your posts this afternoon (found your new name through googling "<old name> hotcopper"). Good going with Adairs and of course APT.
The last year has been very tough for me as I became too macro focused where it turns out I really have no edge. I'm holding some APT (ordinary shares) again since late last year but I would've been holding much, much more if I had just stuck with my initial holding and not ventured into the warrants game. I was lucky to exit warrants when I did but my problem was in not buying back in quick enough. I was too greedy, when APT was in the $8-9 range I was hoping for a continue sell-off for me to get in the $5-$6 range and I had all my capital tied up in a USD long and then S&P shorts (based on my expectation of continued market declines) which turned out very bad. I have just taken the last year to be an expensive learning process and have been focusing over the last 6 months on non-investment related studies and work. I have been keeping an eye on APT and other good businesses but my focus now is building up my dry powder and probably more importantly enhancing the value of myself as an income producing asset.

Anyone who has done anything in life has had their share of failures and challenges- what matters is how you respond to them. Judging by the tone of your post it seems like you’ve got your head in the right space. I hope you made it back to Australia safely!
