RE: does anyone have a actual decent book suggestion for strategies20 Mar 2021 18:24
Must admit I've never read a book on investing. I think the way you trade in Aim is different to the Main Mkt. I work on -15%/+30%, but don't always stick tightly to this. Results and sentiment play a huge part. I now never put more than 2.5% of my portfolio in an Aim share, but not set in stone, the younger you are the more risk you can take. Hardest lesson to learn is selling the dogs, getting over it and moving on, without looking back.
I used to spend a good hour each day, reading RNS's. Had a couple of guys I followed Jim Rogers and Justin Urquhart Stewart, who used to say "There's nothing wrong with cash" - when it was time to get out of the market.
No doubt metals are the place to be on Aim currently - but need to recognise when it's over for this sector. Could be years away. Metals also the place to be on the main mkt.
I trade, L&G, Rio, Barc & Fres for percentages. Still get it wrong, sold L&G too soon and sold Barc last week, time will tell on that one, still holding the other 2.
Not sure this will be any help to you sMiller. Good Luck
