I actually added despite being negative, you make some good points and I hope the tide has finally turned.
My breakeven is 111 now so I'm not 100% confident I'll ever see my money back, having said that, tonight I'm celebrating. A much needed respite to those like myself who started buying in the 150 mark.
Thanks for your comment & happy Easter

That's absolutely spot on, however, I think the issues are deeper. The big platforms have created software which enables small and medium companies to go solo and done in house, the chip manufacturers are also creating the hardware to compliment that so I'm not even sure ad agencies are going to survive.
Think of Blockbusters or Lovefilm when streaming became a possibility. We might just be on a similar parallel
Precarious time, if we make new lows 30 might be next.
We still have no visibility as the outlook according to SMS is still murky, who would want to tie up new money under this scenario and end up trapped for god knows how long?
How many of us thought S4 was undervalued at 150 then 100 then 70 yet the stock keeps going down. It seems the better AI stocks do the worse agencies, particularly S4 does. Maybe the end of an era for agencies. Another observation, having watched the latest Sir Martin's interview in Barcelona, is that he does not talk much about S4 but does keep repeating how the big platforms are getting bigger and absorbing most of the ad revenue. Now bearing in mind that the big platforms are creating software geared to cut the middle man out (S4 and the likes) and Nvidia keeps advancing in chip technology to enable this, the future looks bleak and the share price is telling us that. Personally, I'm far from impressed that Sir Martin is now embarking on another venture (S4 ventures), from an investor perspective, he should be fully concentrating on S4 considering how much this company has fallen.

Nice to have a respectful exchange without having my head bitten off for being so negative. Although, I must admit that longfell makes a very valid point and one must learn to chill out and detach one self from daily movements for a while, I'm particularly guilty of that.
Good luck to all long term holders, I'm going to try and switch off for a while as suggested.
