TheEconomist - similar here. I invested £5k into Easyjet, £5k into IAG, £5k into RR and £5k in a copper player RMM.
I took a risk in November selling my £5k in Easyjet for this random stock called ARB. If I had kept it in EZJ it would be worth £6500 today (not bad), but as it stands the £5k in ARB is currently sitting at £17k.
I've kept my positions in IAG and RR which have thankfully turned blue over the last few weeks.
As a thank you to ARB I also bought £3k worth of BTC on the last dip, so in terms of crypto I now have 1 miner - ARB, and 1 actual crypto.
GLA! ATH today posisbly?!
Unfortunately we still have the likes of SR123. One minute we're going to £10, the next BTC drops $500 and we're plummeting.
I have posted this numerous times now. I have a modest £5k holding from 78p. The worst thing any of us can do is be checking BTC price intra day. It genuinely became an obsession to me and has zero benefits.
I am so confident in the fundamentals here, even with the drop last week when I went from +£19k to +£11k. I never once considered selling, and it was that drop that made me realise zooming out, stepping back is the healthiest way to enjoy ARB!
GLA, what a unique journey we're on with this one!
I'm a lth of ARB (see posting history - £5k at 78p, and Also got in here on the IPO).
I can safely say SR123 is the most frustrating poster on both boards. He pumps ARB when it's looking strong, and as soon as BTC drops $1k it's "plummeting".
He missed out on the IPO here. Look at his posts. He then asked for advice from this board rather than doing his own research before jumping in.
When it didn't rise exponentially he was saying within hours it was his worst investment ever, and no doubt sold on a loss.
Again based on his posts he has sold out on Friday, yet is still posting hourly updates about how bad CBX is this morning.
As a LTH of ARB and a holder here (from IPO), in the politest way - please shut up.
This is trading at its Absolute worst.
If you buy a stock it's because you are confident in its fundamentals and long term prospects. You NEVER see a slight drop and sell for a loss. Unless you want to lose a lot of money.
What you don't do is panic with FOMO, ask advice from a traders board rather than doing any research yourself, buy the stock based on comments you receive back. Get angry when it doesn't fly and you're not up 30% within 3 hours. Panic, sell, get angry with the CBX board (which you came to for advice in the first place), and then subsequent trolling of said board. Truly pathetic.
Rant over.
Whaaaaaat?!? How?!
I called up and they said it would be 4th March!?
Great for you though!!
We have to wait until 4th March unfortunately!!
TREK you sold at a loss within a maximum of 6 hours. Yes, very daft. BTFD is not sell for a loss then buy, it's holding firm and averaging down on the dips. Palm slap.
Took me 3 minutes to find out how just Elite, our friend Elite Trader is.

NT to buy in large amounts. Looks like 130s is about to go. If 150s get hit today, this will race to 200p
No Elite, it raced down to 90.
How's about KNB ?
Spread tightened on L2.19 Feb 2021 07:59
Weekend FOMO kicking in. This will be covered by every media outlet and open big on Monday. I still stand by seeing 100p in a week or so.
No, Elite, how's about 29?
Please take your wisdom elsewhere. How embarrassing.
TREK1234 that is truly the worst investment strategy I have heard. Absolute sure fire way to lose money.
If you're confident in a stock (why would you buy if you weren't), why on earth would you sell in a slight dip.
Truly terrifying that this happens.
Deanosbooty (great name btw - are you Dean and proud of your own booty?)
I called II this morning and they said I wouldn't be seeing my shares until 4th March!!
Glasir I know!! Welcome to the new age!!
(Although I'm buzzing because I did keep RR and as of today I'm finally in profit in RR after 6 months of regret of buying!!)
My recent experience I took a 5% hit on EZJ back in November. That £4750 is now worth £17k in Arb. EZJ even with their recent rise would currently be worth £6650.
Whatever you do thorough research. Don't use opinions boards like this to make a decision.
Dave they've finished 41% up. This is a great day! Why are you angry?
Slightly confused at the tumbleweed comment. BTC still showing signs of volatility (as expected) yet despite this ARBKF currently 22% up. Genuine question what were you expecting?
hahaha my fiance used to say the same. Now she asks me when she first wakes up what the BTC price is! We've all gone mad!
Hi guys, I bought £5k at 78p. I experienced the quick rise to 130 and then suddenly seeing I was in the red. End of last week my portfolio was saying £19k, at one point yesterday it was saying £11.5k. Was I tempted to sell at any point? Not on your nelly!
I stepped away, forgot about it for a while, confident that in the next few weeks / months that this was a minor hurdle in the long game. I can't believe the amount of people panic selling, my friend being one of them - genuinely gutted for him!
PS - this calm persona doesn't stop me waking throughout the night to subconsciously check the BTC price! Anyone else relate?!
You said this yesterday -
"180 here we go!"
Care to give us an update on this statement?
You've managed to defer the question wonderfully there.
Nope, absolutely no bullying at all in my post. I stand by everything I've said. I almost regret it being too polite.
The day I take time out to register an account to sprout nonsense on a share I don't own, will be the day I admit to being pathetic and puerile. A fact.
I'm just trying to work out the psyche of someone who takes time out of their day to register an LSE account, purely to slam a certain share.
Are you okay?
Is it just boredom? Is there nothing better in life to do right now? Is there a deeper issue? Step back a second and think - I'm an adult, why am I so incredibly pathetic and puerile that doing this seems okay?
Very odd.
Offki, all due respect, that is the WORST trading plan I think I have ever heard. If that's how you go about your trading - stop now, and find a new hobby!
Well based on Mornington's comment this morning "things are hotting up"!
A LTH here, and exceptionally confident for the next 12/24 months. That being said comments like Mornington's help no one.
