you should also familiarise yourself with the Lassonde curve in the context of mining investment Elliott wave theory is also useful in understanding market psychology, and potentially identifying patterns as are understanding many other technical indicators. in fact EW theory is just fascinating in terms of its pervelance in nature (proportions and growth rates) and life in general and human use in architecture music etc and seeing the interconnectivity of harmonic ratios through light and sound, and understanding they are just different frequencies on the same scale
you could pick a really good stock but enter at the worng price. you should keep speculative companies that dont yet have revenue streams to a small percentage of your overall portfolio
for instance AR1 is a great prospect, it has production happening, lots of upside potential.. but there are no guarantees for anything to go worng.. a massive commodity correction etc... Understanding nothing moves in straight lines, that sometimes we weather corrections if ourt thesis is that a bull maket is on for a particular sector.
sorry if this sounds like im tellinig you how to suck eggs, hope some of it is useful to you and helps you on your learning curve. We are all here to learn from each other regardless of how much or little
