Hi, John my friend. Sorry mate but you are either preaching to the choir on here or just opening yourself to a lot of derision and vulgar comment from others. Some " types" enjoy trolling or getting into personal " animosities" and I must confess I occasionally deliberately endeavor to wind them up further. YouTube is currently featuring a lot of Warren Buffet's advice, financial warnings and, of course his own thoughts where we may all be heading if times get hard, financially. Well he's made a pile and that warrants listening and taking him seriously when he puts forward his opinions on tv.
Quite frankly he puts forward a clear road map, especially for Seniors, what steps we should take to avoid monetary troubles in our retirement. He advocates not being tempted to get greedy especially in going after what may seem to be " get rich quick" profits by Companies which do not have a long and illustrious record compared to long-established firms with steady profitability (even through national recessions and " bear- season " periods " for stocks). Right now he views transport, electricity, food and similar necessity suppliers as safe shares even if they appear somewhat boring and perhaps not exactly the "multi-baggers" (like many of us here on this blog hoped Ariana were headed from their start up. way back when.
So, completely disillusioned with the direction and BoD of Ariana ,I jumped into the lifeboat and glad that I did. You are still invested and moaning. Perhaps in these troubled times you need to tread carefully and maybe invest in safe but boring stock like Johnson & Johnson as well as conserving some of your savings/assets in case rises in the cost of living endanger your future lifestyle so in a worse situation you don't get into debt and struggle financially when you are too old to seek permanent work. All the Best, DJ
