Babcock Share Price (BAB)

correct on all counts

Doni - in your latest post, if I am I reading it right - you don't have a balanced portfolio and are presently looking to exit BAB ?

Presumably at present levels at a personal capital loss. That said it seems your strategy is to talk down BAB on this bb. May I ask is this in an attempt to reduce the value of your holding with the aim of creating the maximum personal loss for yourself ?

I once bought a car I decided I didn't enjoy driving, so I advertised it for sale and moved on. I didn't put " this car is useless" in my sales ad though, as this would have been somewhat self defeating, would you not agree.

Balanced cogent discussion is welcomed on these bb's. Can you understand why some struggle to understand your motives.

As with all share purchases, when we want to move on we need to find a buyer. Not sure your your strategy is a winner for you - this observation is based purely on the personal info you have presented to posters here.

Best of luck with your strategy, I'm guessing you are not employed in any part of the marketing and sales industry.

Kenji ; in and out since 2014 but your in the right ball park, however picking my time to exit once again but I do wish everyone well but for me I have caught a cold and see no future hear.at all
Gerry 65; read the post, not a seasoned investor far from it.
Sprites; bought back in @ 820 not so long ago your assumptions are incorrect. One last time do try and get your mind around it I am not trying to drive the price down just severely ****ed off and if my views are negative well thats the way it is.

To add to the Doni debate, I'd be guessing that as a seasoned investor, his BAB investment would have been part of a balanced portfolio, where hopefully, each individual share would comprise a maximum of say between 5 -10% of the overall total investment structure. As such like many of us, there may be the odd share that has to drop into the bottom drawer, with a higher dividend reinvestment % helping any short term downturn the the sp and easing some of the pain.

No doubt most have us have got the timing wrong on an investment at some time or other. However, I'm not sure compounding the initial investment decision with a strategy of contually knocking a share in one's portfolio would appear to be a cousre of action that any level headed individual would consider logical !

Generally all posters have an agenda, personally I don't buy into the "self harming" persona.

Perhaps, Doni is Boatman in another guise. Who knows.

Doni first posted on this board on 11 Dec 2014 when the sp was at 1090p.
Whether nearly 5 years can be considered as recent is open to discussion. However, if he bought his shares on that day he would have been just over 50% down (540p) at the time of his last post, implying an investment of of a more modest, though still large £100,000.
