It's a total retrace accross everything Mary.

Been an awful start to the year.

Making me want to trade in future rather than hold.

Loads of my midcaps down 5-10% the last 4 days.

Same old UK rubbish

I'm not talking mcg Pedro, I have a lth of 100k shares in an isa 40 in a sipp and 60 in another account. Not worried here.

I'm talking in general accross the board, it's been an awful start to the year for most midcaps.

You get JD sports still going to make in excess of 900 million profit but because they downgraded their profit forecast, 24% drop.

Come on is that rational and reasonable?

It's a total dawg place to invest the UK in general. At least in the US they get reasonable gains and then the inevitable pullback.

What UK specific news today warrant markets to be down 1% ?

The way this market behaves like jekyll and Hyde its making me want to lock in smaller profits and sell certain stock and buy back cheaper again, rather than hold as a long term investment.

Its demoralising being invested here.

It just seems that the FTSE is first to react negatively to overseas data and more often than not ignores anything remotely positive here.

Well by the looks if it markets want to have a 5h1t end to a 5h1t first week back in general.

Anyone know why this has suddenly changed direction the last 2 days?

This market is making me more want to trade rather than invest.

173 to 158 in 2 days on what.

Come on hold 22 ffs

They're trying to destroy this company, destroy peoples jobs, its scandalous that this sort of trading is allowed.

Mary

I'm not too far away from being even on 2 of my holdings, I have 100k in an isa at 96, 70 k in another at 89, and 40 in a sipp at 127.

I keep having to remind myself of being so underwater with RR for a year, then being so grateful to break even I sold most at 120.

Don't want to make that mistake again but it will be hard to keep holding them all , but maybe not as hard and painful as holding them when they were 58!!

I guess holding for gold is how to really benefit, time isn't an issue.

Not a good day in the US again.

Bracing for another red day accross the board tomorrow.

The Nasdaq up 50% last year and the S&P 25% was always due a pullback.

But for UK mid caps like MCG, despite rising the last few weeks we are still down almost 40% from a year ago.

I just hope we stay above 80 until things calm down over there.

Generally economic news here was positive today, consumers spending over Xmas, supermarket inflation coming down, yet rather than react to UK specific news, our market reacts to US markets.

I guess I'm waiting to be able to skim some holdings in MCG, I'm too overweight here, I'm on 2k a point move currently which is why it's so frustrating.

I would be much happier with a core holding of about 40-50 k shares.

Onwardsandupwards

If that's the case fair enough and thanks for clarifying.

I assumed the tax element was often used as a sort of excuse for selling ie sentiment purposes.

Would still be nice if he or the CFO bought some.

Well it hardly inspires confidence when a relatively new ceo takes renumeration in shares and immediately sells half at 77p.

And hasn't put any skin in the game since.

And the 15000 purchases today are less than a weeks wages to them.

If one of them out in 100k of their own money that would speak volumes.

yeah and unfortunately the start to this year has been awful and looks like continuing tomorrow if us maintain their losses tonight.

at the least the nasdaq and s&p have 50 and 25 % gains from last year to retrace from.

but the uk in general, what total **** market this is.

Tareq was issued 184000 shares by transfer, then sold half at 77p.

Why has he not purchased any with his own money since being in post?

Sir short

Not good for you yet!!

PFC veteran probably longer than most.

I was in b4 that but it just gives an idea to some short term traders what price along the way people invested at.

I didn't write it I posted it as written by someone else.

We're you invested during the last RI ?

If no just do one short term trader

US markets worst start since 1999, probably resetting after all their mammoth gains last year.

Probably bring us down given how highly valued UK market is anyway.

What a difference a week makes on nothing.

Why doesn't the new ceo buy any shares.

All he's done is sold a load he got for free!

Did a 6 million buy just go through off book anyone ?

500 million knocked off Mcap based on an outperform slightly lowered target price.

How is that even justified as even being slightly reasonable.

What a total joke the UK markets are.

Guys listen

I'm a layman investor, can tend to be nervous or often than not.

And I posted this to get the balanced replies that you all posted, especially pleased Pokerchips responded because I value his posts on various boards.

This was needed by me to alleviate being too negatively swayed by Jaknife.

He's about the only shorter that does offer explanation.

So really appreciated to all of you and it wasn't posted to install fear. I'm underwater here and just waiting for the right time to add.
