My first HC posting and today my 3K of SBM has just got into the green at $1.94 after more than 3 years in the red. At its worse I was down about -95%, and I thought this was my stock most likely to be a complete loss from a portfolio of around 20 companies. I had given up on it ( mostly because of the Solomon Island mess),and completely missed the massive turn around last year- as a pessimist I thought it was just up and down stuff and would inevitably retreat again. I missed a huge opportunity last year to buy more and "average down". But at least I didn't sell out and crystallise a loss when it hit $1.00 which was my plan for a long while. From being by far the worst performing of my 5 gold stocks all bought unfortunately in late 2012 at the GP peak, it's now by far the best, and only one in the green. Next closest is DRM ( nearly in+), then NCM (biggest holding and - 23%), AQG at -40%, and a small holding of SLR at -89%. The GP finally looking good in AUD$ will eventually turn all these shares back into the green. But Bob Vassie's appt. was the critical turn around moment in SBM I missed. As they say" woul have, could have, should have...".
