Hexy.
Been there, done that (with the trading, not the wives.!)
I have done well, sometimes with the trading, but sometimes I haven't.........
I know exactly what people are doing when they trade, and how they are working it all out...
If they have £1000 today and then "trade", and then in 2 months time they have £2,000, you say that you make money via trading.........
BUT........ What you need to do is actually look back at the original holding, multiple that by todays pricing and see what it would have been by just holding it..........
Of course "trading" makes money if you buy a share and never sell it unless you are up........that's simple maths.....
The reality is that holding a bouncy share, unless you get the trades spot on, in the end will come through.
