I really hope that someone has advised you at some point to 'diversify'. All eggs in one basket is a worrying prospect.
Nothing in Halifax yet. Usually in there by 12pm on the day of payment, though ISAs seem to take a day or two longer.
Bonkers, I'm in that one too, absolutely got savaged today, though for different reasons to the other red shares. Holding and hoping for a re-bound. Cine I'm under too, but see a long, slow creep upwards. Gone are those high-dividend days, for a while.
'Holding up' is relative, and a fair enough comment, by today's standards. Yes is has slipped, but I'm seeing a swath of deep red drops on almost every share. So by degrees, Cine is not dropping as much as others. I wonder if the £3 ticket day announced for later this month has any affect.
The only thing blue for me today. Can't believe the hammering so many stocks are getting today.
We all do that Johnboi. Don't buy in and it rises. Buy in and it falls.
Likewise. Just tried at 25 but had to settle for buy at 32
Thanks House of Gold, unbelievably I hadn't made the connection.
Damn him, anyone would think that is purposely against the Western capitalist system.
Spank, I only realised it can be read two ways, after I had committed to it. I originally meant it to reflect my usual luck in picking shares....... that being, if I buy into it, it will go down and if I sell it, it will go up. However, I see it could echo that (most unhelpful) of mantras, "Buy low, sell high". What a gem of obvious advice that is!
For once, the devastation on the share prices today is not down to me.
.... and does your name reflect your favourite pass time?
What has happened today, across the board with shares? Everything seems to have gotten mauled.
45Bob - This sounds like my (unintentional) investing strategy. I always seem to buy at the 'peak' - it lays in wait for me to buy in. Having held SCT shares for a few years now, I can echo the confidence of others on this BB. I have no worries that this will continue it's long-term rise in the future. Every now and then, SCT seems to be liable to a hefty drop (even pre-covid), usually about 20%-ish of the peak value. (Granted this time it is larger - 30%-ish). It then lingers a while, before a strong up trend. These drops (like the one currently), seem large in short-term context, and can still clearly be seen on a longer-term (5 year) graph, but the rebounds have always been stronger, leaving a higher water mark. I hope, for our sakes, the future bears this out.
Just tried to log in, won't let me.
JoeNinety - And not all of his do either!
I'm hoping for a £5 close.
How well I know that feeling. It's as if all shares just wait for me to buy in, before sinking further down.... just to show me I didn't get the best price. I try to look on the good side, the small drop will hopefully be outweighed by the future large gain and the I will forget the current pain.
Makes about as much sense as ,"Buy low, sell high." Can't be controlled and only seems obvious in hindsight.
Yes, I hope so. In search of positive news, I went back to the RNS for last month and the trading figures - steady percentage increases looked good.
Cheeky drop for stop losses.
It's up and down, but settled near where it was. Would have been happy with 218 to sell, but just have to wait longer.
I'm the same. Thought it had dropped all it could yesterday, so bought a top up at 6.10. And guess what.... with my usual luck, it drops further today!
