What’s the lesson here…?

Never underestimate the upside of a bbq-hype share ?

Never sell a holding ?

Always invest in companies with “cool names”..lol

My brain is trying to forget that I sold at $1.75.

i would have been able to buy a home for my little family if I held on….lol

i still have almost zero conviction in this company though.

i think sales could fall off a cliff at any point.

who REALLY knows what’s happening with drones or droneshield.

they could be made obsolete in the blink of an eye and weapon tech could move in a diff direction

Sold the lot at open 16 bagger.

i had also purchased some fpr my daughter and they have gone too, this amount of money will help set her up in the future, she just just doesn’t know it yet.

i still believe in the company, momentum will carry on, deals will be done and so on. What I have learnt especially here is that you can buy back in when Mr market does something silly.


you Straw peeps are the best.

Congratulations @Summer12 -- these things look easy in hindsight, but they are anything but. Looking at you SM portfolio, I can see that on your way to a 16-bagger you had to endure a few big drawdowns along the way, including a gut-wrenching 75% drop in 2024.

Which is usually what happens, and is also why very few investors get to see such returns -- It aint easy suffering through that kind of volatility!!

So well done. And great to know it'll make things easier for you and your daughter. That's what it's all about.

I wrote in my bio when i joined Strawman that i made a few quid in the UK and thought i was a genius, so wrong. What i have learnt here from the wealth of knowledge is not something i can truely explain, i will however be truely grateful for what i have learned.

i never would have had the discipline to see through the noise without reading, understanding and digesting the wealth of knowledge and experience shown here.

Selling is harder than buying.

Right place, right time, right macro environment.

thank you

This all I can find

** Droneshield DRO

 set to gain 14% this week, their best week since early August

** On Monday, defence technology firm announced it would expand R&D ops in U.S., adding second location to headquarters in Virginia


They know something. There's is no way they would make that investment without intel. Maybe they have had communication with the USDoW to increase their R&D into a specific request and trying to harness that or they know of an increase in defence spending to come in their area. Still the Charts show everything topping out.

Both the 3d and the 1d Price bars are outside of the Bollinger Bands. Well outside 2 standard deviation’s. It cant hold that. Rare to see both above 1d and 3d $ above BB's. It also hard to tell if this is an extended W3 or could be a W5 (Im thinking W5). Well done holding for those that got this far.

I've sold half my RL holding today for a 22x gain.

The fundamentals always catch up in the end. Who knows when. If this keeps going, I might sell out the other half later this week.

I'm keeping the SM holding for now.

Wow, the volume today..

and it went up 20%….

honestly the way I feel now having sold out under $2.00….

I’m seriously thinking the debrief here is that I’ll never take profit again…

i might just do the david gardener thing and hold forever….

I've had decision paralysis the last two days on whether to sell because this just seems ridiculous.

  • Now clearly my biggest holding in RL
  • No news from the company
  • Need to then make another decision about what to do with the money.
  • Not selling previously during these massive rallies, like last year, has paid off for me.
  • This could easily go below $2 again if contracts slow or total values don't meet expectations.

Anything related to drones has gone bananas over the last year, the US and Canada also have a bunch of companies that have done the same. For me the lesson is pay attention to the macro, and there will be a lag before the big money starts moving....sadly all the signs have been there in Ukraine for a couple of years now....
