First post. No point selling at a loss. Wait for the next ramp.

Overdue !

I think Putin is the smartest man in politics. Most people don't grasp he has more enemies in the Kremlin KGB etc than most do in their lives. And all these years on he is still in power. Says it all. As for these radioactive poison and biowaepon attacks - he's not stupid enough to do that. A quick push onto the rails under a lorry or off a cliff is his probable modus operandi When will the west realise it is his enemies ijn the Kremlin that used bioweapon and radioactive poisons to kill people so the finger would be pointed at him. Russians love chess. Those were just moves in a chess game. Look at the timing - in the middle of his prestige world cup tournment in Russia. How stupid people are. The problem is Russia is like the wild west - but they have big bad toys they play with - so we better hope a capable tough guy like him keeps the real loonies under control - think of the aftermath of deposing Saddam

All very complicated isn't it ? The issues that ST raised about debt apply to all recovery stocks not just this one. The will in time therefore apply to the banks as well. The banks will not be allowed to go under but more money will be printed. Consumption and then production and prices will fall and stockpiles build up. Work will be a distant memory. Then money will find something that is increasing in value - the only thing that doesn't rely on people to make it or get consumed - which is actually 2 things - gold/ & crypto. Gold will have its day but finally crypto will become the thing. Rich people will invest in what they think the "gold standard" crypto is eg bitcoin, but clever (not that clever otherwise they wouldn't be able to figure this out) banks and governments will transfer their wealth to some obscure crypto like "fu" and then declare that "fu" the legal currency screwing everyone else overnight. Then we'll all be in it together and we'll all realise that Mooky's shinangans - which is what I too am beginning to suspect these are - are as irrelevant as sunshine on a cricket pitch in March or October - which seems to be the only time there is sunshine on a cricket pitch these days. Happy evening chaps ps some legitimate vaccine that - half tested and approved by Mr President Donald "the chosen one".

When I first bought in here I saw a comment that someone htought it was their share of the year and would go on and on higher and higher - not in a rampy way but in an almost poopogetic way and certainly without any false conviction - more as a speculative comment. That was reassuring. I share it with you now because during the recent pull ack from the 90s I kept asking myself if I should pul out and remembering the words of that person - and having more than bagged already - I stayed in. Just imagine how amazed I am now. So I know nothing... but I agee - feels good in this one - more so now than it did before. I just keep slicing the gains because it has to paause again sometime.

I saw it turn at 1.2 bid and thought - that looks like the bottom - tried to dive in and couldn't get in below 1.30 - so defo was the bottom. Nice when the pain stops. Looking forward to a nice rise now.

The time consuming bit is looking at the fallers and deciding do I want to top up (when they start to rise) or do I want to be elsewhere... That's the bit I usually get wrong.

I just use autotrade limits - its effortless

Hi CAST - looks like you've found a gem there....

They weren't in my round robin. The one that amused me most was Royston Wise. He hit all the good risers - but he tipped so many it was like a cake with 18 layers of icing - some of which were shall we say better than others.

I ran a set of portfolios to see who was the best tipster - it was Edward Sheldon by a street. Don't understand why Stocko doesn't confirm that but it was consistent throughout. Interestingly the Torygraph and WSJ did do better but that just proves the "smart market" theorem. Anyway I'm holding and I've been slicing and topping up as it goes up and down and to know he;s on board is just the icing on the cake. It could go wrong, anything can go wrong, but from my research Ed is the best - top man.

Yep, that's why I adopted the policy of just correcting to a balanced weight. That way I always sell high and buy low - the caveat being I only buy shares going up on the day I buy them because you don't want to try and catch a falling knife - that normally doesn't work either.

That;s why I just adjust to "weight". I check back and of the few I have given up and sold out, about 80% have hit higher prices wthin a month (at least for intraday) within a month. I don't know if that means I know how to pick a good shae or don't have a good plan or self-control !

Yep that is how they normally do it - so day traders can't get in.

Keep cool kevc. You get boards like this where even the slightest hint of anything other than lording the share to the high heavans and predicting wealth beyond their dreams triggers people.That'sin part because some are long term holders who've heroically stuck it out through severe falls to get to this place. You've got to cut them some slack. Best thing to do is address your comments to specific people who you think can help you. FWIW - I think this share price is being manipulated beyond belief and I just hope you can get lucky and get a rise to slice into so you can cover your risk - and that could happen tomorrow which would be nice for all of us - so GLA GL Kev.

I agree with Marco. I follow what the main fund managers do and have about 2% in about 50 different shares. I look for the best sectors, and the best bets within those sectors. I do factor in the spread (cost of uying vs seling) and natural varation - so I can take opportunities to rebalance to 2% often. I do reserve the right to change my mnd about a share or sector and move stuff around (though that's rare). Most of all I do look to carry stocks that will go up when the market goes down so I always have something at a profit I can slice to feed back into stocks once they stop falling. It will take months (took me years) to get it right because you have to be prepared to watch losses in some stocks build up because you don't know when they (the enemy) will suddenly gap the stock upand slice and slice stocks that keep winning back to weight withiut worrying about what could have been, but despite what experts will tell you about backing your winners - that is what will work because ultimately to make money you have to buy low and sell high - and you can never know what is going to happen next - although remember some people out there will know what is going to happen next - and will use it to their advantage. That's what makes it fun really - mortal combat with money.

I only know that I think therefore I am - I think ?

Isn't the clearly stated plan partnership and licensing anyway ?

There it is again - that x3 number. Just got to wait for it.

OK guys - these things go up and down. Its not like backing a horse or team in a match or race. You can cash in part of your holding as it goes up and reduce your average buying cost. Many will do this to leave just "free" shares running. As long as you wait to be in profit you wont lose. Only problem is it may take a long time if the market falls or bad news is revealed, and bad news can come on any share at any time - because bad = worse than expected and good = better than expected, so I would suggest you can't guess that - the professionals will know what is expected better than you do. More than that - they will deliberately move the share price one way with their huge purchasing power when they know it should be going the other way - to prompt panic sells or buys - so what I am saying is be very careful, stick to rules you understand and are confident in - and never risk more than you can afford to lose - beause sooner or later you will run across a stock which goes into suspension and never comes out again. I think this is a good one and I'm already running not just on freebies - but on "bagged" freebies - ie carrying 100% profit value with them - and yet no matter how high it goes - I won't let it become "overweight" in my portfolio. That is how careful I am. Please be careful, whichever shares you invest, and enjoy.
