My holding is down £1200 for a divi. of £1400

Reluctantly, must mention, most of the world has suffered huge shocks recently. As well as Covid, then Putin leading a group attacking Western democratic ideals. Brexit/Trump GOP Emperor Xi, only three... Delighted at "They" are all the same, crooks - referring to Imperfect Humans, who struggle with the uneducated, who vote from (a) our worst instincts + (b) promises of a quart out of a pint pot + (c) Simple solutions to very complex problems.

Since 2012, my initial 3,900 buy @ 264, and many later hopeful additions dashed, we may be here at last. Cheers all. :-)

Claret - I expect we are all punch drunk, nursing our broken dreams? and 90+% losses.

My other rainbow pot of gold sunk without trace. :-(

(DVRG)

Pretty happy, is this the recovery start?

Now 64% down... :-)

TDman and all - I bought at around 6p expecting at lest 3 to 5 times.

That's my position.

Ilovesushi - I, like many, have been in for years - and need 6p just to get my money back on easily my biggest investment by a factor of 2 to 4 times

Even 8p would be a modest return, on what appears an excellent product.

Sadly, that looks like an impossible hope now. Still... :-/

Well, hope springs eternally... added 40K :-)

Small top up @ 1,22.

GowertonO - to be fair, most politicians knew Brexit was a bad idea, and expected it to lose. Just the 10% "Moggers" with help from Putin, IMHO, who persuaded enough of the ethically and intellectually challenged, we could throw the "furriners" out along with the DM's EU tyrants...

Ftsefan - If Liz & Co were still in 0ffice (not power) the 15% needed for govt debt might have had a negative effect on, well, everything. Except unemployment?

I've just said goodbye to a shed load of other gains, placed on an AIM "good story"

Hoping for better here.

Feel sick as all of us about this. An apparently really good story, were we fooled, or did we fool ourselves? 13th Monkey made a fair point, every site has some Cassandras, if they were all as perspicacious as Muggins, we'd all lose less - and maybe no one would invest!

Lots of decent gains/divs from my other holdings went into the approx. £17K loss over several years. Not my only total loss, but my biggest.

All the best, guys. Over and out.

No repossessions etc - but the debt rolls up exponentially - and will have to be repaid, like the huge government debt, eventually.

But by then, AI will have replaced all our jobs, so, like the country, we will just be bankrupt.

But some sitting on £500K properties no-one can buy.

I've been topping up for months at up to 52p.

Beginning to wonder. :-(

Have signed, but a long way to go.

Probably never get to hear about the stuff we need to, even if we succeeded.

My maths is rudimentary a lifetime after A-levels, but 3i figures confuse me.

PE 4.25 - Earnings 475 - div. 50.5 - yield 2.5% ... is the dividend covered 9.4 times?

Sadly, I failed to follow his sale (probably bought some!)

So I found a few pennies to round my holdings up...

Over two years, from 30p down, believing in a valuable to society ideas company, I pumped £23.6K from dividends from my other holdings, + savings...

Sadder and wiser?

I hope so.

Zebbo - maybe they've taken that green vote to heart, and have converted to a charity?

LOL :-)

Chid - realizing it is impossible that the arch villain has done nothing other than wreck the world, principally supporting the US after 9/11, I NOW, in hindsight, wish we had let Saddam continue his murderous way.

But it is not a moral view. There were/are still, in my view, other, decent outlooks.
