Crusty thanks for your concern ( genuinely ) but I may have been exaggerating a tad when I used the words “euphoria” and “despair” in relation to movements of £825 !
I am lucky enough ( irony ) to hold 245,000 shares in SXX where I have “made” and “lost” anything from £245 oer 0.10p to £24500 ( on one memorable occasion when the sp dropped 10p in one day ) so to add a little perspective £825 either way is no great shakes if I'm honest and objective.
My investment in stocks and shares is around 30% of my pension lump sum the rest in Premium Bonds and Peer to Peer loans so if the worst came to the worst and I lose the lot while it would hurt it would not change my life. If SXX ever hits its notional value however ( anything from 20p where it is now up to £2.50 ie a 10 bagger for me ) - that would be a different story. I suspect we,re all in a similar position one way or another and maybe, maybe AEX will come goid and give me/us some sort of return if they ever get this bloody farmout sorted. GLA LTH.
