Cheer up holders10 Dec 2018 20:57
after today's debacle...life is much beyond share trading...and we should all learn some useful lessons from where we are today.....i am nursing losses around £90k over last five years and a part of it on credit which i still have to pay...i ended up repeating the same mistakes over and over with different companies (Afren, POC, Lonmin, IRV etc...) where debt was much higher than market cap, and when that happens any sensible person should know what will be the end game....Today it looks in case of interserve we all holders were literally blinded by greed (or unwavering optimist which i think is the problem with ppl those who are inherently brave in life and i certainly think one of them..it work well in real life but works against you in market)...i know feel that it's a very good trait to be fearful or even cynical for even a small issues faced by the company in which one wants to be a shareholder.....all interserve peers who were in much better position had to undertake severe recapitalisation excercise through heavily discounted shares but for some reason IRV holders believed we can hold it for longer which looks pure stupidity today.....setiments play a large part in our investment decisions...and due to that i would think that PIs will not participate in recapitalisation (incl. myself), but purely from business point of view i think that will be the exact time when one should invest as by that time EfW projects liabilities will be clear....post recapitalisation IRV will be a healthy business generating decent profit and will be a good holding for long term.....unfortunately i dont have any further appetite left to deal with IRV....will try to rebuild with small investment (£3-5k) from AIM as that's where i started and at one point running a profit of £150k...GLAH & try to stay positive
