The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
I really do appreciate all the supportive messages, thank you! I'm always enthusiastic about everything & am an onwards & upwards person, but the SML niggle never goes away. Maybe we are on the turn................how wonderful would that be! Onwards & upwards!!
Thank you! I live in hope as surely I could not be so very wrong when I sunk so much of my hard earned cash into what I believed was a company with a genuine BOD & very viable strategy 3 years ago !? 2.35 down to 0.40.......!!?? I have to make a mortgage payment in 2 weeks & all income has ceased so hopefully SML will come good a little at least, perhaps not by the November payment, but by December............. ??
Thanks for your honesty Laallee, I have really appreciated peoples' comments today. They have made me feel slightly better! As you say, we have our health & that is paramount. I hate the way SML haunts me every day, especially as I really believed in the BOD & to a certain extent, still do! I am so hoping they do something soon to restore our faith. Everything crossed!
I was new to Aim when SML sped up to over 3p & assumed with such amazing results, the only way was up! It appeared to be one of the best stocks on Aim; what was there not to like!! I have never had any more money to top up, so I am ashamed to say I am stuck at over 2p!! I have to sell a few right now to keep going due to the perfect storm of brexit & covid, but I feel sick to the stomach. Yesterday there seemed to be a small rise, but the price I was quoted to sell was so low, compared with the headline figure. I have never regretted anything in life but this haunts me every day!
Been here for over 3 years & sadly invested everything I had spare at the time. I quickly made a good return, but left it in thinking the only way was up. Never thought it would go below 2p! Hey ho! Was just going to leave my holding to wait for those 3p days to return, but very sadly Covid is forcing me to sell a few. Very frustrating, but needs must. Sorry guys!
I invested £35K!! Trying not to think about it!
I'm with you Slurm. I have had a holding here for three years and am well under water, but I continue to believe in this BOD and am absolutely amazed at all the negativity on this board over the past couple of weeks. It is disappointing that the money didn't materialise in the anticipated timeframe, but our excellent BOD will be sorting the issues in the best possible way. Onwards & upwards! Calm everybody!
Out of necessity I had to sell a grand a couple of weeks ago, but it did not affect the sp at all. It is not me today, I did do a dummy sell of another grand and my broker was happy to take them, so I anticipated a bit of a rise today. It did happen earlier, but then a real disappointment to see the finish today. As you say, maybe someone got bored, but us LTHs know it is definitely worth being patient. Hence why I was so upset to need to sell some. Onwards & upwards!
Thank you so much bram & Quadrum for your comments. I am so glad you say that Only1neuron was a respected member of the board as I remember sticking up for him when others were slagging him off, so it makes me feel better that I wasn't such a bad judge of character afterall!
Yes you are right Quadrum about all your eggs in one basket! I did spread mine into 3, but one company is now in suspension and the third one I am still hovering around 30% down on that one too! I am in for the long term and I am convinced that both MAFL and my other one will come good in the end as they are two very solid companies. I just wish I didn't have to withdraw some funds now, but maybe in a month or two when a property sale goes through, I will still be able to buy in at a reasonable level.
Yes, you are right, I had only just started trading back then and from my own due diligence I believed MAFL to be a very strong investment. My thoughts were confirmed though when I read posts from a person going under the name of Onlyonenueron I think it was who sounded so decent and knowledgeable! With that I put all my savings in and have lived in hope ever since. Like you, I was determined not to sell at a loss and I have managed it for two years, but b......y Brexit has hit me hard, so I am having to bite the bullet. Sickening!
So sorry, but I have to sell a few today! I really do not want to, but needs must. Naively I put everything I had into MAFL over two years ago, expecting by now to be living on the profits, but sadly I am still 30% down as haven't been able to top up on the lows. D'oh! Hoping to buy in again in a couple of months when a property sale finally happens!
Yes, it is so very frustrating to see such incredible news & the sp dip back into the red; it happened to me yesterday too on one of my other investments; an equally awesome RNS and the sp finished way down and has continued to go down today. It is so hard to understand and difficult to accept when one hopes to progress as each week goes by, particularly when one has been patiently waiting for two years! Hey ho, onwards & upwards very soon I believe!
Thanks for your comments, guys, but wizard's have worried me. I have been so very patient over the past two years and I still have every faith in MAFL, but, sadly (due mainly to brexit) I am going to need to withdraw a few thousand pounds in the coming weeks and just hate the fact I will have to do so at below my buy in price............................
I am just as frustrated having been so very excited to read such an explosive RNS. I bought in nearly two years ago when the sp was 13-14 p, thinking then that it would at least double, but alas, all it did was go into reverse. I have patiently waited for this day as I foolishly put everything I had into this one and two others on Aim. I so hoped that today might have been the day for my investment to almost break even. How on earth is the sp going to rise if on such an amazing day we are now in the red....?? P...ed off!
