RE: Burford: A Compounding Machine22 Dec 2020 23:37
Thx again JC, I have had a fairly large stake in BUR over the last couple of years my average is around 725P, so I am not that much under water
Although I have traded this share a few times and made small profits by doing so specially after MW attack period where I bought and sold in short space of time and made a few grands, then when I saw the shares dropping from 9 pounds to 7.5 I bought back in and when they went down to 720P I added more
So I have what you might call gone long on BUR
Although In hindsight I should have traded these when it hit 785P and buy back in when they went without any reasons to 683p
One thing I have learnt is as we can’t call the markets we should use it when opportunities given to cash in on spikes and buy back in on dips this has worked for me on many other stocks I have held or am holding
After all we invest to grow our money so these picks and Troughs are certainly one way of doing that but this has a risk attached to it as Sod’s law one can get the timing wrong and SP can continue north and one can miss the boat
But we are in a markets washed with short attacks and if one is clever enough can use these short attacks as opportunities to buy in and sell up when the shorts have to close their positions
It worked for me on KIE, PMO, MTRO, Lloy. SLA
So in short the markets are full of opportunities if we pay attention to the shorts directions or just markets stupidity
I will watch the next Spike in Bur and will decide whether it’s wise to cash up and buy back In on expected dips
