I wish you had as well but I'm not ashamed to admit that I might have washed off your comments and categorised them into a deramper, I was emotionally invested and led astray by emotional people who had no technical reasoning backing their predictions. In total I saw £60k paper profit wiped off from that 390-400p high down to the 220p region weeks after the trading update.
I feel my cash is safe in BOO in a ISA account (praise the tax free investment account at barclays!) for the foreseeable future baring no more skeletons come out the closet, so this is a perfect opportunity to learn, I have a good degree and technical mind in what I think will help me retain the teachings from this course, will need to work on detaching the emotional aspects if I'm to ever become truly successful!
I think 17 hours a day would burn me out but I sense the drive and determination, hopefully you have reduced that as it becomes unhealthy. Unfortunately I don't use twitter but if there was ever a time to create one now would be it!
That's my goal as well, retire early, I'm approaching 28 soon but I want to retire by 35 at least, like most I lost my job in the summer where I worked as an analyst at a bank, I'm fortunate in that I've made paper profits to more than cover a years salary since then but I don't see why I should limit myself to what I consider baseless/aimless gambling. So it's time I switched on my technical abilities and put it to work. Good stuff on IPOE!
