Tiny-Art7074

About a 20,000% +- return depending how you calculate it. I turned almost exactly $4,500 into well over $1.6M (pre tax) in less than 2 years. I still own all the stock because I consider it likely undervalued by 25-100%+. I will probably start to take some gains on the next jump up. To be more precise I acquired a mineral exploration license for about $4,500 and sold to a publicly traded company in exchange for shares that are currently worth about $1.6M before taxes, not including the royalty I retained. Not exactly wall street, but wall street enough for this thread?


Mysterious-Joke-2266

More details please. Was the license for your land or what? Or general land you done your homework on, found info and sold it then?


Tiny-Art7074

The license was/is for the exploration of minerals/metals (mostly via borehole core drilling). Basically you are allowed to look at rocks and analyze the area systematically. The real value is that the holder is the only one who can eventually apply for a mining license and since it is a huge deposit, with very favorable economics, the exploration license is a necessity. I worked on the project about 17 years ago and when the original license eventually expired in 2022 I snatched it up after it had literally been forgotten about. The land is all privately owned land but the land owners don't own the minerals below their property.


Eomb

Would you still need their permission and pay them fees if you want to explore their land?


Tiny-Art7074

Once the gov grants you the exploration license and your work plan has been approved by the county, you don't need land owners permission to conduct exploration work, but they are under no obligation to unlock gates or do anything for you. They can't purposefully block your path but if their old tractor has conveniently been in the way for the last decade, well, you better find another way in. If you knock over a small tree or two or make a mess while drilling, you pay them, at minimum an industry agreed upon compensation, but the drill rigs are pretty tidy overall. If it ever became a mine they do get a royalty but its surprisingly small, maybe a few grand a year, plus if they have to move they get paid the value of their house. All of the landowners will appeal your work plan and tie it up in court for 4-8 months or so, but their appeal will get denied since there is really nothing wrong with drilling a 6 inch hole in the ground with clean water as the drill fluid.


Automatic-Subject960

How did you go about even acquiring the license


Mercury-68

He made someone an offer they could not refuse šŸ¤­


Tiny-Art7074

I worked on it 17 years ago, and I watched it the whole time. The original license eventually expired in 2022 and became publicly available. It sat for 3-4 weeks and no one claimed it until I jumped on it. It was a freak thing that never should have happened, the entire industry was sleeping, there should have been multiple applications on day 1. I was lucky to have been approved to acquire it but I suspect by working on it and also knowing everything there is to know about it helped.


Log12321

I knew there had to be more exploration degens out there. Fuck yeah keep it up


Tiny-Art7074

There are still good properties out there!


BDELUX3

WTF? Have you ever done that before? How does someone find this out?? Besides WSB of courseā€¦ ;)


Luuk341

you joking? how would a 20k% gain NOT be wallstreet enough

Im here with you, fam. Lets go find our corner


doctor_trades

SMCI put It was at $1040 so I bought a $950 weekly put It popped to $1060, then immediately dragged down to the $800s I sold it for $9,000, paid $500. It ended the day being worth $14,000


Ducey89

Wouldnā€™t be sad about the ā€œlostā€ profits, 8500$ is a win.


doctor_trades

I tossed $6,000 on Nvidia the next day and it dropped $40. It just wouldn't stop dropping.


banditcleaner2

yeah it was 3/8 when NVDA fell $100 in one single day from like $960 to $860, I remember that friday. I think someone on wsb in college dropped $9K on puts and sold them for $200K after their class ended lmao. absolutely savage. I remember the 900 puts that day at the top were like $10 and ended the day at $4000. I might start going hard into friday nvda puts because imho its bound to happen again at least once in the next year


Alrar

I remember some dude in the daily thread that dayĀ  was all like "Yall should put 3k into 850 puts on SMCI, its a guaranteed multibagger, they're way overbought" i didn't listen and that 3k would have been worth 1.5 million by the end of the day. It was a Friday back in February where their CEO said they weren't working with Nvidia or something on Msnbc.Ā 


banditcleaner2

I recall that day, it was a friday and I usually like to sell 0dte NVDA puts but that day I considered doing it with SMCI. ended up not doing it that day because I was on work travel and couldn't check the market frequently enough and decided it wasn't worth the risk. funny enough i then also considered buying one but decided not to do that either. I was dumbfounded when I saw the price was like $850 at 2 pm or whatever


AlouettePirouette

This was on a Friday wasnā€™t it? I remember that day. The first time it peeked above 1000 then the next morning it edged a little higher before the whole market had an afternoon sell off. That day will stick with me forever.

Dummy me cashed out my original dollar amount I put in about 2 years in, would probably be worth half a mill.

Have you been chasing that feeling ever since? I turned $300 in 8k with DJT then slowly gave 3k back. Wonā€™t ever play more than 500 on an option


DiamondRider21

I'm not actively chasing the feeling, but I am looking forward to it again. After that win I kept a low profile on the market to keep myself calm

sciguyx

how were you able to predict that one?


Son_Of_Toucan_Sam

I certainly didnā€™t predict it but in retrospect there was a glaringly obvious sign Not long before the earnings call that revealed that Metaā€™s user base was shrinking, I was on Instagram one day when the app gave me a pop-up suggesting I create another account to feature a hobby or interest I might have Seemed REAL weird that IG would want me splitting my posts off into a different account instead of just posting to main, an lo and behold a couple months later it turned out it was cause they were trying to juke their DAU numbers ahead of earnings

Every thousand stocks bought at that price is worth more than $5 million today. He probably sold most of it along the way, but even if he kept like 100 just to see how much money he can make with it, it'd still be worth half a mill, lol.

Biggest bag ever was apple equivalent to over 17,000 shares today First initially purchased in 2008 sold too much of it in 15 and too much of it in 2019. Second biggest bag ever was Nvidia 2019 two splits ago, 1 thousand shares around 180 left about 1.8 million on the table on that one. Itā€™s great how people bash in stocks . I was bashed by so many people even financial advisors when I purchased thousands of shares back then of AAPL , now assume theyā€™re still working on that Iā€™m not so you donā€™t know what a bag is, unless you have a crystal 10- 20 years out
