Definately a worry Troajan and does lead for some sleepless nights on occasion, im a long termer myself, been doing this since i was 19, and generally if you buy big decent companies (ftse stuff etc) father time comes to the rescue a lot of the time if you drop a goolie and buy at the wrong price or something goes pear shaped.
Of course doesnt always work out, Lloy/BT/VOD being obvious examples of never rising again sp's but ive done pretty good with that strategy over the years, letting things compound up is the way to go, but am getting older so id sooner play a bit safer nowadays.
Thats why i tend to keep away from Aim (although i have a few eg Soli@Β£9.45 & crappy BOO@40.995p), bit too much of a gamblers casino for me and im too tight to take that sort of 'risk' with my pot, never been in a bookies. I still hold big positions in Glen/BP/SHELL/RYA, and have added heavily in LGEN/PHNX recently to. Relative tidlers in SOLI/BARC/LLOY/SMIF/AAL/WIZZ/CEY/CCL/PSN and a few more.
Deffo agree UK is under the cosh still, needs to pull its socks up a little
