Not anxious here either.

Please don't put your words in my mouth

Get to 22p, and see the half million share seller reappear

I personally like the ones that are 6 or 7 paragraphs followed by a final statement proclaiming it all ok because they are a 'Genuine LTH'.

Frankly anyone using calling themselves 'genuine' needs to have all of their posts disregarded out of hand. Its like car dealers calling themselves 'Honest John'.

Arguing percentages is meaningless as it depends where in your investment life you are.

Two people might both think that 25,000 shares at 20p is a great investment. The fact that one person is 25 and has a portfolio value of £10,000 and the other is 50 with a portfolio value of £100,000.

True if it gets wiped out the younger person loses 50% while the older loses 5%, however the young person has a damn sight longer investing in the future to make it back

As an example at one point my pension was 60% SXX, however i bought to the number of shares i wanted, and have since bought elsewhere. Its now down to about 30% (subject to sp moves of course)

The other thing is that the percentage of portfolio it currently makes up will be considerably less than the portfolio percentage if / when ST2 is confirmed

Its simple enough.

Talk your book, one chance, then into the filter abyss

Over the last 12 months the flip flopping of politicians has meant that the market has been on the low side

I think this week is a combination of ISAs and Brexit extension.

To be honest Brexit has done a lovely job of giving me great value prices on high dividend payers for my ISA and pension

when you have such a high proportion of PIs making up the shareholder base.

Both dips and rises both overshoot because of a panicking herd mentality. On the way up its FOMO. On the way down its fear of a loss, usually because they became overexposed on the rise.

An ability to look ahead further than the length of their nose would be an asset.

As we get closer to the end of the month we'll get wilder and wilder swings as people hear things, or things are allegedly leaked.

The question is are you comfortable with your holding or not? Trying to play this is like playing with fire

Couple of mistakes Lekka.

1. there were only due to be 3 advance non refundable payments. As you say in June, Sept and Dec of 2018 to cover Q3 2018, Q4 2018, Q1 2015)
2. The new quarter starts 1st April not 1st March. Therefore the demand for payment is for the April shipment

congrats Jimbo

I found it actually helped me. I'm less likely to make rash impulsive trades, and to trade more buffett style.

RNS out, rarely / never seen before posters wringing their hands about the p word, and deciding that now is the point that the board don't know what they're doing

Nickel - The fact you uppercased a single word in that post shows your true trolling derampy nature

Navara - That right there is yet another thing to feel good about SXX for

Different trading / investing strategies work for different people. None of them are bad. Well except maybe shorters, but its still a part of the way markets work.

I pick stocks that i think will do well long term, buy them, and hold them. Just call me Mini-Buffett.

I have a colleague who will buy and sell for 1 or 2% profit but do significantly more trades than i do.

Horses for courses.

Thats from 3 weeks ago bobslob

Bandana - More importantly I set myself a target of how many shares i wanted to be holding at divi time.

I've been able to get them at good prices.

I see no good reason to try and trade just to release a few quid. Besides i'm just as likely to screw up that investment so safer to hold for me

Lifetime ISA is a separate type of ISA and can only have £4,000 put in a year, however if you do put the £4,000 in you can only put £16,000 into other ISAs

Bandanaman - All well and good, but what if your target is the divis?

Exactly Aussie.

The thing to keep in mind is we are still up 10% from where we closed last night. Yes we're down on the days high. but we're still better than yesterday.
