some thoughts.29 Mar 2021 23:13
If you all would indulge me with a few thoughts…
I know I had a flap on Friday/Saturday about the RNS however I know we all didn’t expect this amount of rise today, it is like your favourite football team have announced they have signed the best striker in the world and you are happy, they go out and score an early goal, and then your team just ponder on, you don’t lose the game, but you do end in a draw and you are left a bit flat.
However, to say that people on a BB have ramped and influenced you, you should question it, you can’t buy a share without setting up a share account, transferring money in, getting a quote and pressing buy. This take time and there are lots of places for you to stop. To say those on a BB are ramping – REALLY? They maybe positive for the share and if you are watching a football team you don’t go and say how impressive the other team is, and cheer them when they score and win – do you? You cheer your team!
These boards should never be used to research, but there for support and everyone can have a wobble with their share, and that is the benefit of these boards and thankyou to the long term holders that offer info and support.
I don’t understand those that come in and run a share down and then fight, to use the football analogy, you turn up to a game, knowing all the team facts, maybe last seasons facts but you are wearing the teams top from 10 years ago saying you used to be its biggest supporter.
I think, that LSE should introduce more security into their account applications. It only takes a few minutes to get a new gmail email account and with that you can get a new LSE account, but there is no proof or accountability. I know there is data protection and GDPR issues but surely you could submit a passport no. or driving licence details. Surely no one has two of those, LSE must have the security to do it especially as they take bank details for their extended services.
And finally, mental health is a real thing, and getting involved with shares can affect you, please support each other.
