I stepped over to ENQ Friday, got in after most of the gain for the day. Got back in here today at...the peak! 63p!!
And I have Fidelity to partly thank for that. They still have 'technical issues' so I can only buy or sell blind, without a quote.
My life savings, bought and sold blind.
What the f am I playing at?!?!?

I am a trading loser.
I don't know what to believe anymore.
I've traded twice since I went all in at the start of the recovery on Tuesday 10th. I had 312,000 shares. After trading out and back in once I had 291,000. The second attempt has left me with 265,000. I'm down by 47,000 shares compared to not looking, not stressing and not trading.
My timing and judgement are sh*t.

I'm moving my account from Fidelity to here partly because they can't offer stop loss, partly because i can no longer access my account through firefox, partly because they frequently have 'technical issues' so i can't see a quote to agree to before trading, i can only put a limit order or buy without a quote!

What with the market being so time sensitive, buying blind like that has cost me dearly several times. I want to buy in chunks of at least £10k and not blind, is that possible with a small company?

I was thinking similarly. If this stock has potential I'd like to invest. With so few trades and small mcap I can't just buy £10,000 worth and see the price before I accept? I have to buy without a quote and wait to see how many shares that money bought me later on when its been negotiated?

My stupidity reaches new heights. Sold here with 291k shares, bought NEW, hoping to come back here Tuesday with a few more shares ready for the TU. If i come back now i'm down 6,000 shares. Tw*t.

I had less stress when i was resigned to staying in until after feb 12th. It was demoralising, but i could handle that.

2.88% up now!!

I put my ISA into ENQ for 3 days to maybe get an incremental rise then come back here before the TU

and now we're at a healthy 2.08% rise already today!!!!

what on earth made me think I knew what I was doing?!?!

Mrd, 1053am yesterday: "Everyone just sell out now this is too painful."

I agreed!! It was painful with no opportunity for good news until wednesday!! I can't take this anymore!! I've screwed myself out of more shares AGAIN!!!!

Well, looks like I've jinxed myself and helped TLW. If it drops by Tuesday I can get back in with a few more shares and wait for the rise to 70p or maybe more...
If it doesn't drop before the TU, and it's good news, I've lost and everyone else will gain.
I just wanted to correct my last f up trading out at 59 and back in at 63p just after our 68p peak. Shtty timing on my part!

Thanks, Mrd
Did you mean buy back in after the TU? I sold at 55.6 due to the painful-to-watch drift downward, so if it's good news, on wednesday and the price jumps i need to be back in on Tuesday, yes? After watching my gains wither this far, it would be very bad to see it jump without me in!

since 68p we've not seen a rising tide, so I thought buyers were in short supply and would only step up if and when we get a positive TU?
Is there anything positive likely today, Monday or Tuesday?
If not, surely the pessimism will continue to erode the price as it's been doing?
I want it to rise, like Lazarus, and I've been rubbing my temples and concentrating really hard, and chanting mantras...

Very true. Facts and opinions can be a world apart. Many on here, including myself, are surviving on fragile optimism. The 9th Dec crash hurt, and for many here continues to hurt, and the behaviour of the share price after it regained to 68p has given shareholders more anguish. I'm newish to this trading lark, so I don't expect to understand all the subtle nuances, but seeing seasoned LTHs also being flumoxed worries me.

As I understand it, the share trades lined up indicate what it'll open at, but I didn't know there was a difinitive opening price available to see before the market opens. Perhaps someone more knowledgable can shine some light?

i need some sleep...zzzz

i don't understand why when the NAV is so healthy!?!?

since 68p i've watched my gains wither away...

have we hit the bottom yet? will it keep dropping til wednesday? should i sell and buy back tuesday?

Why am I on the BB at this ungodly hour?
Am I worried about war in the ME?
Am I worried about TLW inexplicably dropping despite all the reasons it should be rising?
I'm seeing value slipping away, but can't bring myself to sell, still believing good things lay ahead...
Am I just kidding myself? Will I look back at this moment and wish I'd pulled the plug and invested elsewhere??

MRD - "This will be back to 150p but it will take 18 months or so unles we strike a billion barrel find"
I really hope it's quicker than that...
