Real pros know how to surf the waves in both directions taking momentum from seasonal drivers ...... thereby also passing the time required for projects to realise.

Of course u never know what will come outa left field and when. But it has taken me DECADES to realise u can play the best of both worlds and smooth out the emotions/risks and I am old and happy enough to share these thoughts to any open-minded listeners aspiring to higher Olympian ideals.

The PERSONAL MO Im referring to is CORE + TRADING STOCK.

EXAMPLE :

If u want to back project development over say, a 2-3 year time frame ........ and believe me, it takes so long for the starter projects to realise ....... then u begin acquiring yr CORE holdings based YOUR OWN fundamentals research in STAGES ....... I like to do so in probing buys at each stage of project development based PERSONAL reward / risk assessment.... usually coincident with pivotal technical breakouts.

Once a trend has been established, u add technos to yr fundamentals drivers and start looking for the PIVOTS and breakouts and ESPESH keeping in mind TIMING as well ......... any Carolan followers in here? I knew a GENIUS technologist but he decided to aspire to greener quality of life instead of the bourse. I feel fortunate to have been moderated by his attitudes to life ........ lucky u guys haha.

As u add increments to CORE u also use technos to pick up TRADING parcels at pivotal breakouts, having pre-set SELLING points based whatever means of TA u subscribe to ...... and u stick RELIGIOUSLY and PROACTIVELY to these, NOT reactively following the herd.

I E ....... IMO u set yr entry and exit points for yr trading parcels in advance and stick to them ......... with (hopeful) GAINS used to reduce the holding costs of yr long term CORE and actually ADDING to as the realisation curve develops.

A further bit which I like is ability to ARBITRAGE when u have fpos and oppies , as in THR's case. U can use this in tandem like a tag team to play the zigzags within a primary trend.

In THR's case. I called 45+ as the wavelet target once breakout confirmed from around 22-24 if I remember correctly. I note theres a few Olympians in here who have been watching. Well that was hit and should have triggered progressive liquidation of yr TRADING PARCELS in stages and which would have SIGNIFICANTLY reduced the costs of yr CORE holdings seeking project realisation and good surprises like some good U-hits.

This way u are NEVER completely out of the game and u retain some kinda control over yr reward / risk possie.

Further to this arbitrage as u would have been PROACTIVELY seeking the next likely PIVOT ......... in this case the likely retrace LOW yr and other trade-selling would have inspired ......... u would be leveraging yr next entry possie as best u thought ....... in this case, by progressively accumulating OPTIONS (IMBOOC)

When the retrace completes on techno waves /timing and yr OPPIES pantry is full and the reversal signals CONFIRMED, u would then start moving into fpos for yr next CORE increment addition.

If the new uptrend confirmed, u could of course begin trading out of yr options into this, keeping in mind the pre-set techno price targets u seek, cashing up for the next CORE fpo buying opportunity..... and passing a bit more time moving closer to reality. Once it DOES become reality tho, yr philosophy changes with it ...... it becomes one of seeking FAIR VALUE ....... talk about that later when appropriate.

I aint claiming no genius here, but seems to me if u believe u are in a general primary trend based some decent fundamentals suggesting significant upside potential, as I believe we are with this baby, it aint difficult to surf the wavelets whilst minimizing yr risk in such broad manner.

Of course nothing is guaranteed and if we have a major unexpected baddie in the stock or the market, u will have to run for the hills ........ but at least u have been reducing yr costs along the way.

I havent surfed the latest waves cos have been on hols in a time zone which doesnt allow. But am happy to hold significant CORE of fpos and oppies (again now) whilst passing the time in a more relaxed way away.

So all of above is hypothetical of course but u can see how some experienced players might be playing it now. The secret is how to maintain / grow a core investment whilst seeking to continuously de-risk in the steps the market provides.

All opinion bros.

And its my opinion now that THR is back into "time to buy" levels ....... on price, time, project and seasonal factors. Its all reward / risk aint it.

IMBOOC
