Graham. I'm very good for this board.

And at least I offer more than just telling others who have an opinion to 'jog on.'

or slow bleed to 45 now. if it can't go up today, it's in trouble.

needs something to give positive momentum as at the moment it is undoubtedly heading down.

I'll top up at 45 if it gets there but hopefully they've got some good news lined up.

Paul - absolutely. remember a good fund returns 7% annually. that is seen as good in an avg year....

dunnie boy - AGAIN this is sets traded- no human interaction.

pattsv - yeah of course in recent climate (biggest bull market since 98) following the biggest dip, absolutely there have been opps to buy cheap, hold and bag.

good luck to you and your approach - totally makes sense.

But don't think anyone should be dissing a 10% return in a fortnight.... do that 26 times a year and you're a lot better off than bagging.

pattsv - 10% in 2 weeks? if you think that's to be sniffed it then you must be an incredibly rich guy.

How many multi baggers have you picked?

I sold all of my non-pension shares in this in the High fifties last week.

with that I bought barc (up 5%), kaz (up 10%), vod (up 5%) and AA. (up 10%).

selling AA. and kaz today for 10% and all the while AML has gone down 15%ish.

i get it wrong a lot and this is an example of getting it right but my main points are:

1. you don't have to just blindly hold; and
2. there are other shares out there; and
3. diversification is super important.

lol

sorry to be super basic and patronising but hopefully helpful for some of the less experienced out there.

because already seen big gains plus psychological barrier of paying 500

yeah - good day on wider markets, this is the day for it to have an upwards run if it's going to have one.

check out AA. think it's going to bounce back over next few sessions.

Paul - trying to be nice here because you seem a decent guy but a sp doesn't consolidate immediately.... it takes numerous tests over a period of time. support needs to be proven.

unless we're talking at cross purposes?

wouldn't worry about it - don't think many people take that kind of stuff particularly seriously...

looks like consolidating at 50 so it's on a knifes edge until up or down!

I'm guessing up to 55 but may be wrong.

my position here is limited to the cheap shares have in pension. smallest it's been since the dip. too much risk.

BUT lots of upside maybe for those who want to hold and hope for positive news.

ROxbury - was never nice, nor have I been nasty. I've just been positive and negative.

I don't think I've been anywhere near approaching nasty apart from maybe with JTMacs and his ridiculous 'data'...

Much more positive pm session on markets. Will it hold?

I think oil is due a bounce...

Preefty - the fact is THEY DON'T DO IT.

People who deramp are either:

1) Trolls
2) Individuals who want to get in lower.

There is no such thing as a professional deramper. I've worked in and around financial markets for 15 years so please trust me.

People on these boards LOVE getting worked up about derampers and shorters and pesky MM's but it's all just rot.

And no matter how many times you calmly explain this, nobody listens! :)

also I'm not sure you know what anterior means...

I think you mean 'ulterior'

RBM - how many people read this board?

say 500 (although doubt it's anywhere near that)

avg buying power of each person?

£10k?

so £5m.

% of those people who are susceptible to persuasion by random posters they've never met? 25%?

so £1.25m overall

and the mcap is usually over a billion....

price action super negative - bad news coming I'd imagine.

such a bleak share. had a few like this that just dwindle to nothing. this has all the hallmarks.
