It's no comparison to PFC because this only being held down until the SFO either charge them or conclude their enquiry.
And as to Vodafone, they are non comparable, and their debt is enormous. Besides VODA has never really been a growth stock, look at 5 year highs, 240 ish, but they pay a good dividend, similarly LGEN, never really get capital growth just a solid yield, so those are good to hold for income if you can average down cheap enough.
But NEX has been on a growth trajectory the last 4 years, just look at the 5 year chart.
It was b----y well over 300 in the middle of lockdown with no buses running.
My gut says it could move to near that level within weeks given the right sentiment or stimulus.
The lady from IR said on their capital markets day the CEO will outline how they will return to growth from recovery.
Could I make up that 12k paper loss selling and investing elsewhere, yes.
But there is equally the risk that markets plummet and that loss extends, and also that sentiment changes around NEX and it flies.
So for me with this one I'm not selling.
I do sell fir a loss, today I sokd my coatain holding at a loss and bought RR and restaurant group this morning. Already cover that loss, but NEX is by far my largest holding and the only thing that halted its growth was COVID.
