Quadrise Share Price (QED)

> (despite posters here suggesting UK not attracting investment).

Respectfully that's a mischaracterisation, people said less attractive and not "not attracting investment".

Speaking for myself as one of those who commented on this topic: I am only interested in looking at the data, and do not want to get into an argument on any political or national pride angle; I'm not going to post flags or rhetoric.

And, I wouldn't dream of telling other people what to do, so please invest however you wish for your pension (or whatever) — it's a perfectly legitimate goal to prefer to invest in your home country with the idea that it might be beneficial to the economy.

I say that simply to clarify that it was not at all my intention to irritate anyone who may find the topic politically sensitive. I'm trying to keep it narrowly focussed on investing and what may optimise Quadrise's interests (and those of my other holdings that are currently in UK).

Here's the data:

Last 1 year

S&P 500 ARR 22%

FTSE 100 ARR 7.6%

Last 5 years:

S&P 500 ARR: 14%

FTSE 100 ARR: 5.7%

Last 10 years:

S&P 500 ARR: 15.8%

FTSE 100 ARR: 5.8%

You can see the data here (website chosen just because it had a cleaner design, I have no affiliation with it and I am not a customer). You will see similar patterns for other comparable indices.

The reasons why are complicated, but a leading one is that many of the largest growing companies have been in the tech sector and many are based in US (or have been acquired by foreign companies — e.g. ARM).

You will also see similar patterns on how much money has been raised on the given exchanges, valuations, direction of acquisitions, etcetera.

Illuminate - investing in small cap IP companies is high risk high reward. 20% moves either way are the norm not the exception. QED can either make you very rich or very poor. To be brutally honest based on your last few posts today and your other extremes suggests you do not have the temerity for this kind of investment. Not advice. DYOR and don’t be swayed by sentiment on here as it’s as neurotic as the media. Personally I have been invested for more than a decade and have built up a substantial position topping up regularly over the years. I am fairly optimistic that this will turn around sharply when you least expect it.

@waitingpatiently how many years have you held and what is your average price?

@Whiskyman01 sorry if I am a bit negative. I know it's going to come good eventually

Only 8 months. Wow that is a long time 🤣only kidding, but some on here have been in since day one and even bought at 40p so 8 months isn't really very long
