I’ve also been investing a long time , but I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve thought a company would raise and the reverse happened.
5 figures is all relative I guess to your wealth , well done if that’s a result for you.
Personally I think it’s more luck what you describe and not skill.
If you want to invest properly you’d not be on AIM stocks
If I had invested properly I’d have half a million more net worth through compounded interest on the lowest risk dividend stocks
But I’d be looking at tax when I retire of at least 45%
So I’ve had a gamble over the years , I’ve prob put 350,000 in through my companies and had tax relief of 70,000
If I had taken it as higher rate dividend at 34% area the 280,000 would of been £180,000 roughly I’ve lost of my own money had I took it
Either which way I’ve had a bit of fun
But I bring in now I own a retail block out of my company and my other stuff far to much money than I ever know what to do with.
I want to basically explain my rationale so people understand that it’s peanuts to me.
I don’t want people investing more than they can afford to lose , for me it’s play money I’ve so much boring stuff , and the money I’ve lost here is all just a tax write off to me. It won’t change my life.
If this does 200% I’d not even increase in my resting heart rate. I fully don’t care.
But I like been right more than the money so let’s see who’s right Trout.
Good luck on your future gambling
