Hope so re: Morrison's as I took a little chance on a 1000 above the proposed £2-52 + 2p special
£3 a share buyout would be more like it for a company like that but we'll see and possibly one on the chin if I'm wrong but it's another lesson learned in my book lol

Shush or you'll take us back to £28

Not a materialistic person myself and I salute you for planting out
If you make a little and often, you've cracked it but always remember the old saying 'there's no pockets in shrouds'
Every day is a good day if you wake up ;0)

SP heading upwards again and the sunshine outside is wonderful
We will get there, it'll just take time and god willing, that's something I've got plenty of right now.

A crystal ball would have been handy re: colliding robot's starting a fire

Neil,
All we can do is focus on the best posible outcome, I've already admitted that I bought in at the wrong time, although, I still saw value and a chance to progress to previous levels but unless you had a crystal ball, no one could have predicted recent events.
For the two downers I'm currently holding, Ocado and Micro Focus, I have three heavily invested massive winners in Halma, Greggs and Reach that trump any paper loss on those, a 100 times over because of how long I've been invested in them.
Personally, I'm prepared to let both downers run as I can see a rebound at some point and my initial outlay restored, that's the time I'll make the call on where to go next, not yet.
I wish you good luck and hope you get back to your entry point, Just make sure you pick more winners and the loss status on a few, won't spoil your overall view

Who said anything about right now?
It might start turning way before I decide the correct time, oh ye of little faith.

Good, well run companies with a proven track record don't collapse over night, in most cases they'll get back to previous highs.
Im only in for 1000 but I think Ocado has every chance of getting atleast half way back dont you? that would see me well infront, should it happen.
Nothing is simple about investing money and with everything that's going on right now, strategies are out the window.
Do we stay invested or do we go to cash? Will the market crash soon? Long or short, I couldn't tell you at present but we've had an incredible run over the years and I'm more than well infront overall.
At the end of the day, unless you need the money instantly, it really doesn't matter!

Oh Happy Days! what a day to be alive.

If we fall any further and no doubts we will, surely this has to be seen as a serious buying opportunity and I intend to level up my holding with another 1000

And as if it were magic the 28 arrives
Can't go wrong with this firm

Don't look at the downers too much, look more towards the winners and in time the balance will be right.
My portfolio seems to remain within certain parameters regardless of what's happening with a few holdings, diversification is key and two sell outs this morning make this a click my heels kind of day.
Hold your nerve and bottom drawer those shares you have faith in to return to form.

Very much swings and roundabouts but my own strategy is very simple and has remained the same for nearly 30 years of being a small investor
If I've more winners than losers, I'm doing something right, fortunately for me that's always been the case.

Hopefully we'll be back close to £28 before they go ex

Well that didn't take long did it?

Hahahahahaa HAPPY DAYS HAPPY DAYS

I got in at £20-44 J.R
Just a 1000 and believe it or not I'm actually down more on 2000 Mocro Focus I bought the same day
Both will come again and I'll make a decision once level.

My faith compels me to hold until my initial stake is returned or better and that's been the case for decade's
Plenty of winners today easily paper over the couple of downers I have at present,
Keep the faith!

Not bothered myself because I wasn't selling, already well up and holding as you can see.
Yet another good divi to add to all the others!

Looks like virtually everyone has cashed in their lot and £29 now seems a very long way off
