Thoughts ? Lots !
Without sounding condescending, why on earth didn't you sell at 840p and take your 20% profit?
Now you understand why i'm a short term trader. Stocks never go up and down in a straight line and there is an awful lot of money to be made along the way if you know what you're doing and are patient.
This is where TA is vital !

A short term (dont get too greedy) strategy and the chart above would say SELL SELL SELL AT 840p, be happy with 20% profit and dont be gutted if it goes even higher.
You may think TA is complicated , but sometimes it is as simple as drawing a couple of trend lines in .
Now we are back to 750p and as you can see in the above chart, by drawing in another trendline, we finished smack on 'make or break time'. Stoch technical indicator says a bounce is due but can stay low for some time and other indicators say more downside is highly likely. If it goes on any lower, then 700p is almost a given and then 666p...............and a long term target is as low as 600p.......all based on the above chart.
Personally, because i'm not invested and dont HAVE to buy, i will wait til it hits 700p, double up it it hits 666p and will be over the moon if i get 10%-20% profit to add to all the other 10%-20% profits i've made on other stocks this year.
Anyway, like i say, i hope i dont sound condescending , but it is a good insight into how a technical analyst scary mind works. Lol !
