If I could turn back time, if I could find a way, I'd take back all those HLG shares that got away, If I could turn back time.

Gosh, maybe we might see an outfit like that modelled in the next annual report

Amazing...I just checked back on my portfolio spreadsheet from August 17 and they were only $3.27 then. They've had a huge year since then and nobody seems to care about the currency where it is !

Worth thinking about.
ps.Lucky for us so many posters on ST get 8 or 9.5 out of 10 right.?...lol.
Good to be reminded Buffet only succeeded with 6 out 10. His trick is asymmetric risk - so wins tend to be much bigger than losses. Easier said than done of course, but HLG recently has met that criteria for me - upside high, downside low - hence happy to have it as my largest holding

Like a great number of fine limousines I have driven in, the HLG offered a very smooth profitable ride,which I remember fondly.
The latest model has a lot of improvements, bringing it up to near the LOV class.
OMG.They are both retailers.

Do you really think about what could have been...or potential mistakes you have made. Personally I do not given them a moments thought or regret..seems wasted energy...I try to learn lessons and just move on.

Yes and No. Yes I do think about things I wish I had done differently but no I dont live in the past and my life is not full of regrets. Learning to move on is on my agenda but I have not quite perfected that skill yet

As of yesterday's close I have sold out entirely. Still rate the company but have made a lot over the past 3 years and at $5.50-6.00 feel the risk reward is becoming too skewed. Looks like that Aussie fund is still hungry like a wolf for them though. GLTH
