Well, this is not really poker related (might be gambling related though) but it's fairly cool and since other people posts about their investments I guess I'll do that too. This is not investment advice, I have no background that gives a reasonable or even a only slightly unreasonably man any reason to think I know what I talk about as far as stock picking goes and basically what thewh00sel said;
Disclosure: I'm Long NUG.v I am not a professional investment adviser, and my opinions are not recommendations to purchase.
So this year I've made a lot of money in Sandstorm gold. It's a really nice company that delivers what it should and it has pretty much made sure that I'm still happy despite running 25k under ev on stars. Thus I've watched a few interviews with founder Nolan Watson, including this one:
This I learned.
1. He's religious. Not in the "I like little boys" kind of way but rather in the "God wants me to work hard"-kind of way. I have a friend who's religious in that way. I know how great religion is to motivate people to work hard.
2. He thinks that a good way to find good miners is to just see what people who knows what's up likes and then check that out.
Thus I decided that he knows what up and I should figure out what he and the rest of the top people in Sandstorm is involved in. One company I found and then bought shares in are Nulegacy Gold. They are searching for gold in two different places in Nevada. I'll not talk much more about that other then saying that a lot of people who, as far as I can tell, knows what up in the gold mining industry is involved and that I did like what I read when I spent 5 hours or so reading through most stuff on this home page and doing most of the due diligence I could think of. As far as I can tell it's a glorified and probably fairly +ev lottery ticket.
It's a very small company (http://www.nulegacygold.com/s/CorporateStructure.asp) but I still got rather suprised when I got an e-mail a few days after I signed up for their newsletter and bought a bunch of shares (about 3k's worth). It was a question. They asked "would you mind please letting me know how you discovered NuLegacy to help guide our marketing efforts?" signed by their CEO. I wasn't sure if it was just some standard E-mail (probably) or if I was just the first in Sweden to sign up and trigged the curiosity of someone. Well, I've been very lazy with my poker playing the last week so I figured the least I could do was to take a break from playing computer games with Longple and Arirang and write an answer. It was a rather witty one describing my various investment adventures and other things including my unholy worship of Nolan Watson. I did not expect their chairman to answer it. They did, however, and on a Saturday.
Despite the fact that I did give them some shit for some things he wrote me back and explained some things, even took time to link me some stuff about their most recent private placement and other things. I also pointed out that the chairman used to work with had the same name as a very stupid looking company with a homepage that might be the ugliest thing ever. The chairman told me that the "right" company had the legal right to that name so I assume that might be able to fix it or at least get that god awful website of the web.
Anyway, I found it rather amussing so I figured I'd put the story out there since I have not blogged in a while. Next post might be about something like "5 reason everyone should love Longple".
maybe i should learn alittle at some point about investing-in-stuffs (even tho i dont have any maneys now, but hopefully i will have again at some point)
all ive heard is buying a ton of silver should be good aswell, allthough it was a crazy drunkperson who ranted about it to me, but he had committed like all the money he ever made in the last years into silver and he told me its makeing him rich
pretty cool to get such "real" attention from a company, makes u feel important, its just like playing on pokerstars!
lookin forward to the next post, it sounds like it could be pretty cool!
NOW GET UR ASS IN DOTA AND SUPPORT MY ASS IN LANE
(jk gonna workout and make lunch first, after that im all ready)
ok cool, I think I might have to somehow get my ass to my mother in law at some point today but other then that I can play.
Silver is great, just have to store it somewhere. When I buy my zombie-proof mansion somewhere I'll keep silver around for sure unless it's already at like 200 USD or whatever by that time.
about the zombieproof thing, make sure to build it atleast 8-10 meters above the ground, AND THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, u have to use wooden stairs up to it, so that u can burn it down when the zombies come, be sure to keep a ladder in your house
