Obelix I bought Traffic Master my first share years ago paid 7p sold at 24p happy , few months later it went to £1.11 unhappy wot . Having said that I did pick up NatWeast for a £1 still holding at £214.50 Similar with Lloyds and Barclays.
Actually I just looked it up , cost was £395.64 @ price 0.2075 value £1.66 Even worse lol . I get in to early on aim sometimes , I will take a gamble with a few more but I got to av a funk about it .
I'd be a bit concerned holding HSBC if I had some with the gov upsetting China again . Comfortable holding Lloyds me-thinks, and Nat West , Barclays I trade but limitedly.
