Hi Irene
Most of them I get to meet the board, listen to their plans and decide if I think they are credible or not, often it’s sbout potential but many times it’s because I see them as undervalued at the time I invest.
I also like one off disaster stocks like BP (oil spill) Carnival cruises (ship run aground) britviv (fruit shoot bottle top recall) STAN (American govt penalty), TCG (unusually low bookings due to U.K. summer), these stocks tend to bounce back strongly as they are one off events and do t really affect the business going forwards.
AIM is higher risk/reward and the people running the show are far more important (morals & ability), invest following your own research and DONT follow the market.
I was a founder invester in MTR, invested at .5 sold most of my holdings at 5p plus before buying back in once it dropped, the same with LION.
AAAP , read between the lines and it’s clear why I invested, same with GRL.
PCGE was a placing that went wrong and I got locked in , now trying to fix that by getting involved.
CERP, invested back in the NR days but got involved in ousting him when it went wrong and now am a big believer in LK and team, legacy issues have put him behind schedule, I have a huge investment at an average of comfortably below current SP, could have multibagged since but really believe we have a gem here which will go much much higher in next few years. I don’t care about other people’s views, I invest off my own research and have been very successful with investing just as I have in my own business (started my company with £170k now valued north of £150m, so I believe I know what to look for)
