Good luck Awax. I have mad every possible mistake more than once. Had a lot of luck in the first couple of years with SXX and during the 07/08 bank crash and made quite a bit on the bounce, house builders eg. TW. GKP did well initially too but got sucked in by the Telegraph article which many will remember and bought over £4. And then started spreadbetting and things started going horribly wrong. It started well like all how it does with all degenerate gamblers. No place for it on AIM with such huge swings/drops on placings, delays, broker downgrades, dropped tools etc which can cause flash 30% drops and wipe out your position. I closed my speadbet accounts in March and now back to shares only. I can now sleep at night again. Still clawing it back though. My finances were at the absolute brink at one stage. I hope my tales of woe will make other PIs feel better about their financial situation! GLA
