Solstace..... that is worth ten grand per mouse!!!!
Pumpky.....they will be one day, be time for a few more Old Pulteneys!!
I thought I heard someone mention that instead of a dividend you get your own human mouse so that you can sit it in a chair and let your missus give it earache while you go down the pub???
Anyone seeing support and resistance levels here or is it all too frantic to work from the charts at all? I always have an element of distrust of unrealistic rises, they can often bite the buyer in the butt!
Ahem, will you please stop interfering with the ramping, any post suggesting the use of common sense in investing is seriously frowned upon here!!
lastetas It is only a loss if you sell at or below your purchase price. less spread and trading charges but I can tell you from bitter experience that a share can sit in your portfolio for a very long time at a theoretical loss and never ever get back to break even.
Love it, sentiment free investing!! PMSL
This is why I tried to post a balanced view here earlier, some didn't like it but then some of them are paid rampers :)
Did all the mice escape??? :(
We need to span that next gap up now. Been a good day, stuck 48,001 shares in the SIPP this morning.
Pumpky... People don't believe it but I bought more TW, cost me around £15k to buy, they went up nicely in value and I was getting 20p per share dividend. It related to around £8k annual income, of a £15k investment. Where else can you get interest like that!!
Dobbers.... blimey you guys have good memories, I guess we all did OK eventually, guess if you've been at it as long as me you can see just what I'm trying to warn people about here!
Got to be careful....don't want to wake up one morning and find that the rampers have put a horses head on the pillow next to me!! PMSL
Pumpky... Thanks bud, it took a while but I got there in the end, lost a lot, made a lot more than I lost. The time to make serious money is during times of big drops like we've just had and the rallies back from there. Do you remember when I bought a load of Taylor Wimpey shares for 8p just after the 2008 crash? :) :) :) They were my best ever buy and I still have the trading slip.
Hawker, I know that some are very sceptical of anyone who gives a toss about others, that is human nature after all.
Thankfully I've taken it on the chin over the years when I've screwed up and just got back in and carried on. I'm 65 now so I absolutely have seen and done it all, I don't have a thing to prove.
I live in a nice house with no mortgage, own everything in it outright as is the case with all my toys. I've been running very successful businesses for over 25 years and have just had a massive order in from a new customer for ventilator parts. While I'm waiting for machined parts to arrive I'm watching a few of the CCP virus shares going crazy.
Good luck to everyone out there, you can't all be winners all the time but make your losers small and your winners big and you will do OK. Don't try to be a millionaire in one day and do try to see through the hype that is posted.
Pumpky I was indeed, many years ago and I don't mind confessing that I lost a big packet of money on those devious crooks!
That is why I suggest people are sensible about what they do.
Since then I bought big chunks of RKH which as you will recall did really well, then went over to longer term investments in predominantly FTSE shares that gave good dividends, tripled the value of my capital in UK builders which I sold as this fall started.
That is all history, if we could go back and trade all the mistakes we made differently we would all be very rich.
Hawker, fair comment, you'll notice that I'm neither ramping or deramping here though, not so sure everyone can say that?
I don't care if people take note of what I say, it is just a reflection of my own experiences of many years trading. It has worked for me and I'd like it to work for others, it won't if they don't adopt a strategy.
I actually don't eve care if rude people such as yourself try to make out that I have a hidden agenda. It is up to all the forum readers to decide who is trying to persuade them to go one way or the other.
Are you denying that people are paid to ramp on these forums??
I know you are out there reading all of this and that relatively few of you actually ever post.
We were all new to this at one point in time, some have done well, others will be serial big losers. That is how it works.
Just be careful what you listen to, don't get carried away with the excitement as that is exactly what some of these posters are encouraging you to do. Big SP rises are great if you get in and out at the right times, picking those is what it is all about.
People are actually paid to do this ramping so again, just be careful out there!
Companies with relatively small numbers of shares in circulation are ideal for this, the rampers appear like sharks smelling a wounded mackerel. Don't end up being that mackerel!!
IG Index won't even take opening bets on this one!
Don't fall in love with any share, remember always that you are only buying it to make a profit. If you are doing it for any other reason then make sure you have a whole bunch of cheap shirts handy as you are going to need them!!
During this crisis some will rise all the way from pennies to pounds but don't get into the way of thinking that all will do that, some will get pumped and dumped like crazy.

Depends how people set up their portfolios and whether they are trading for serious long term profits, I've balanced mine so most is in the SIPP which I now only trade FTSE shares for longer term growth and dividends and my ISA accounts that are used for the odd ten grand punt here and there for short to mid term gains.
Well worth maxing out the share dealing ISA account each year as all profits are tax free, I hardly use my normal trading account these days.
Each to their own way of doing things but I reckon a bit of self discipline makes a hell of a lot of difference for longer term profitability.
Exactly! There aren't enough shares in circulation to make a big buy in.
OK for a bit of pin money but then take profits and go into something with more scope.
