Gavint66,

I have sucesfully made my income from the stock market for nearly 20 years.

If I fail, I have no money. That simple because I retired in my mid 30s from mining.

Some of my successes was raiden when I bought last year at just 0.3c and sold most at peak.

Then re bought lower. Still above present sp, but have topped up and lowered my average cost per share.

I am not on raiden for a day trade or monthly gamble, but till all ground is explored.

Same a tolgs, he has been on raiden longer than me and for Mt scholl and arrow

He also did not sell at peak, like me he is interested in long term.

Over the years I've held core before mining started, degrey before hemi, paladin when uranium was in the dumps, seven west when debt issue, spectrum pre ramelius buyout, sabre pre pennywest ground.

Alot of fortescue under $4 which provides a decent stable dividend stream.

Yes losses to. Far and bph I lost 1m on.

Overall every year of the 20 I have paid tax to the ATO from share investment gains.

I post on less than 5% of my investments.

Fortescue for example, what can I add to a top 100 company?

These tip ranks only base success on sentiment at post time.

The result is scewed.

I am not hear for ranks, nor to be popular, but am here because I enjoy the community and mostly like chatting bout Geology and helping others a bit on it.

Trust me I do not need to as I am very busy.

I first started earth sciences when I was about 12, now mid 50s.

I spent all my holidays as a kid on mining sites following around geologists, metallurgists and surveyors mainly.

For every 100 trades, I profit on 85 of them.

I consider that a good ratio.

What is you're ratio gavint66?

We're you able to retire in you're 30s and pick-up a plumb job as a professional investor?
