Considering Gold has gone up from 2050 to over 2130 in a few days I think the move in HUM has some catching up to do.

And yet GGP has managed to lose 15%

Don't know anything about GGP. Have they fixed their sale price for the next x years at somewhere much lower than current Gold price?

They are not producing yet, own 30% of the mine, Newcrest owned the other 70%, Newcrest has now been bought by Newmont, rumours over whether they will continue with the mine with GGP or sell it off, would GGP be able to buy the 70%? Will a n other swoop in.? Also (a bit hazy here) but the 3rd aquifer (underground water) has caused a pause in the significant tunnel/decline to the ore body (it's already a long way down).

So uncertainty here in many respects, but significant works already undertaken on getting to the known significant resources, so potential I think from here whatever happens, some long term holders will probably be disappointed unless GGP successfully go it alone and become a standalone mid tier miner in time?

One of the old thread gambles RBG (Revolution Bar Group) tanking on news that they might have to sell venues to keep the lights on, -42% just today.

Young folk dont go out drinking like we used to.
Easier to staay at home and get rejected online than trying your luck in a bar.

It's the debt that leisure companies like RBG and Cineworld had to take on after Covid that has done them in.

Read that RNS this morning. Most on LSE full of praise for the new CEO and derogatory comment about the outgoing. It's mad a big difference to the SP - down over 5% again, 5p below the last chaotic fund raise. That company had/has so much to give yet seems to be run by a bunch of muppets intent on lining their own pockets. Or I may be wrong.

No, pretty much correct,had some great stories to tell, remember the boohoo COVID test link up?

A couple of thread favourites looking to get together to form a partnership of poop - Nightcap and Revolution Bars:

I think 500miles was heavily into both of these, but I don't think he's been around for a while.

[Shnozz]

I am heavily in Revs, it pains me to say.

I sold out of nightcap a while back at a modest loss, so I fully expect that they will now gain hand over fist!

Don't worry, I very much doubt that is the case. They don't have much cash and any deal with Revolution for all or part of its assets is likely just pretence for a fundraise if you ask me.

I think it still has potential to x10 again. Peaked at 3p relatively recently, back to 1.3ish now, was as low as 0.25p My break even is 5p. If it gets to that I'll probably halve my stake.

This aged well.

At time of writing this yesterday it went up 8% and has dropped it all and then some.
at end of day yesterday my portfolio was looking nicely up.
then this drops it back down to to balance it out almost all of my long term dividend stocks are well up 2-3% each so balancing it out.
Would be nice to have my cake and eat it though and get both up.

Blast from the thread past:

ZIM doing well recently, bottomed out at $6.39 in Dec23, currently $16.26 (it was around $72 in March 22, hence the gamble thread)
