Just another dud!, page-35

True enough Warnie. A mate of mine was up $6m on a run in a single junior speccy which came about due to holdings he received in an unrelated ground for scrip deal. He eventually realised only a fraction of that gain and his residual stock means he's still a top 20 holder I think. And he's not in anyway emotionally attached to the company, yet still didn't optimise the cash out.

Paper wins (or losses) often become meaningless coulda's and shoulda's. Yesterday I got very top price on a sell and elsewhere today I left 7% on the table. That's the combo of luck and foresight. But there's absolutely no point dwelling on anything until it is realised. Better to be satisfied enough with the real wins and drink beer to soothe those hindsight plays. A tricky game this one sometimes.
