Yes I've had at least 2 ten baggers since then and they were long term holds with excellent management. I back talent and give it time. But management and prospectivity must be good and you must back your own judgement. Now I have several goldies after the Li and after the Li pullback I think it's going to run again especially pegmatite-based. The US is sitting on some breakthrough technologies with solid state batteries. Hard to read but the discrepancy between demand and supply on Li is still going to be high regardless.

SOI matters when they do a consolidation because if you planned on making money with breakthroughs earlier, it cruels your chances.
Even though they will tell you a thousand times - as if you're stupid - that it makes no difference because the SP has risen proportionately but that is not to the point it's all about timing. And avoiding the lies and bs.

ADO has had so many CRs at rock bottom prices it's disgraceful. Why people would cheer that on is beyond me but they did and still do. The time for CRs is when the SP is rising on the back of good news otherwise you're just desperate.

In fact the cheer leading and cheering and smashing down of anyone who questions was and still is nothing short of cult-like.
Hardly anyone wanted to question where GC's misguided ideas and undermining took the company because people have treated it like a footy team that you back regardless of how hopeless or foolishly run. In terms of governance it's been a shambles with special phone calls from GC made quite improperly IMO.

Where are the big noters who talked it up and sold out leaving people skewered on the spikes? One is in Tasmania, allegedly.

The problem with this company in chat has been the lack of critical thinking and lack of ownership of shares by instos.
It's just been a group of bully boys in here. I lost serious money on this stock because I fell for the fake camaraderie and whispering lies at AGM get togethers etc.

Then I woke up. Nobody likes a spoiler but I was deeply offended at the manipulation.

As I said I am OK have more than recovered and am in a position where I could go back in, it's not about loyalty to me it's about reality.

They simply cannot admit to being wrong. The smart money escaped but they're still hanging on and doubling down.

An apology is out of the question. The personal attacks were vicious and irrational. comments now refusing to acknowledge I got it right with MSB is just hilariously petty. I didn't follow any of their mob I got in with MSB in 2010 and really increased at the CR at 30c.I backed my own judgement there.
It's been fanatastic and it took guts to make that call. ATH was around $9 it's been volatile and manipulated.

I don't recall every person from the AGM drinks as faces to nics is difficult to match then recall but do recall going to the wrong venue and being mistaken for a lost on line date there!. (Now that was funny!)

Also I do recall Mr ex CBA making sure I'd accepted his free drinks and food because that was his leverage it was all about 'establishing trust'.
Everyone went on about how supposedly generous he was when the amounts involved are piffling.
Not in his world he would write it off as entertainment on tax.
Allegedly he left CBA under a cloud and that says a lot. He'd post without any irony whatsoever "you can't handle the truth" excerpts from A few Good Men, utterly ignoring the irony. People like that I can live without; the damage they can do is incalculable but the mob mentality is worse.

Back to ADO substance: The anode has always been a chance. I retain the flexibility to be able to buy back in at a time of my own choosing because I've offset the losses. If I do buy back in it will be regardless of them, it's a dispassionate decision. It won't be because they have won and I'm back on the team or some such juvenile idea.
