Bomber, I finally see where you're coming from, and you're absolutely correct.

If you have no idea how to go about making money from investing in shares.

You see young Bomber, many of us here like myself use a well-known concept called free carry, whereby you sell a percentage of your holding as the sp increases above your average purchase price in order to recoup your initial investment.

Then as the sp increases further you can, as I and many others here have done, continue to sell a further percentage and be in profit by, as @Dazzmac66 says, "hundreds of thousands of dollars".

You honestly surprise me, I'd have thought that someone with over 3,600 posts on HC would've learned this basic concept before now.

Maybe a little less time spent on HC and a little more time on honing your investment skills would benefit not only yourself, but people on here who have to endure your endless drivel.
