Wallbrooke "Government would never allow another company this size to go bust their the leaders in their sector."
What utter rubbish! I'm sorry but if you believe that then you are sadly disillusioned
Much bigger companies have gone to the wall;
Intu Properties; owners of many large shopping centres around the country including Lakeside in Essex, Trafford Centre in Manchester and The Potteries Centre in Stoke on Trent. Debt pile of £4.6 billion.
All the clothing shops and department stores that have disappeared off the High St over the past few months, including but not limited to Debenhams, Laura Ashley, Top Man, Top Shop, Miss Selfridge, Dorothy Perkins, Evans etc
Flybe airline gone
Bright House stores gone
Mothercare disappeared before the current pandemic.
Carillion went under a couple of years ago. They were a massive company with big contracts in various sectors.
Other names you seem to forget, that have happened over the years with big job losses etc, include British Home Stores, Woolworths, Northern Rock bank, Bradford & Bingley building society.
There will have been many more but you get the point.
Personally I avoid the stop losses wherever possible and only set them up if I am going to be away from the computer/laptop/mobile app for an extended period.... which I try not to. I cancel it as soon as I get back. Like others have mentioned, I set mine way below the reasonable fluctuations of the last couple of days.... and when I set my auto sells up they are usually way above potential spikes too.
Its a personal preference something to bear in mind after a few have been burnt recently with stop losses on the likes of other volatile shares.
I have it on ig.com too. It appeared there over the weekend
I would also like to add my thanks to you, Ehsan, for the informative post.
I agree that now is the time for patience.
I only have £500 in CBX so it can sit there and do whatever it is going to do. Anything above 5p share price when I sell is a profit. My shares didnt arrive in my HL account until the price had dropped to 19p, which is fair enough. I wont sell unless they suddenly fly to £1. Same as my GST, KNB, SENX and N4P. They are all likely to be long term holds
Scribbler, mine have just arrived on HL. Yours shouldn't be that far behind, if you haven't received them in the meantime. I received a secure message this morning advising they would be on my account by the end of today. Check your secure messages. :)
JC-130; It should be a hell of a lot easier;
10p-20p is a 100% increase (double).
50p-60p is only a 20% increase.
.: 50p-100p is the equivalent of 10p-20p
Kilman; Hopefully we will be there soon. I only recently broke even after being in the red since 08 June last year on this share.
Good luck all
LSE price is always 15 minutes delayed unless you have a premium service account. I use IG demo account just to keep an eye on live prices.
Bitcoin has now hit 55.6k but ARB is slipping a little. I think it has started to level off. It has lost the volatility it had in the previous week. I sold out of ARB and moved in to OBC and GST.
As far as I can see, the close price was 5.90. This is what is showing on HL. There are usually fluctuations at the end of the trading day, for various reasons, so I generally look a little later in the evening when the dust has settled.
Yun, you can also buy them using the HL website/app.
All the best.
Hopefully a 40p week, next week, rather than the 28p! It has taken a fair while to get back to this price and I, for one, am still down, having bought my shares just before the 9th June last year.
It has been a slow increase with this share and it is still 10% lower than the heights of 1st and 8th of this month when it closed at 38p.
Fortunately my average is a bit lower than some of the numbers in this thread however I am just pleased that I am no longer down by a five figure amount. I am pleased that over the last few weeks I have been distracted by the likes of ARB, MXC, KNB, OBC & PFC movements rather than wallowing in the lack of movement with AMGO and missing the jumps with N4P and GST. I also now have CBX to look forward to as it becomes listed on 26.02.21.
Hopefully next week the AMGO trend will continue.
Good luck all !
HL can be a bit off sometimes with the updating within your portfolio. I use IG to keep an eye on the current movements. You can check HL with dummy buy/sell though, that gives a more accurate price. Some of my shares don't update on HL very often at all. It can be a pain.
