The latest Investing Matters Podcast with Jean Roche, Co-Manager of Schroder UK Mid Cap Investment Trust has just been released. Listen here.
Thanks everybody been reading the boards alot and had some good tips but never bought into then as I was scared money. Could of bought this at 24p but bought bp at 3.50p doh as it looked a safer bet. Live and learn but I've still got all my capital plus a 30 percent so happy as I've paid my credit cards off :)
Sorry ethioethio I just mean the people who got spiked at top now it's 40 percent down from its highs. I'm a bit bitter as I doubt myself constantly thinking it's a pump and dump. I could of bought GGP at 4p and apple at 2.30. Too nervous I'll loose everything. Makes its hard to invest
Got 12k invested in the ftse only got a grand in this only testing the water in aim could of sold at 1.80 but believed the RNS tomorrow stuff and missed out on rolls Royce at 2.40and jet2 in the 400s. I think I'll stick to ftse if this gets back to 200 it's crazy in aim too volatile for me
Watched the rampers on there telling people 20p by weekend as they sell there shares and inexperienced people left bag holding for months or even years. Normally invest in the Ftse so aim is a real eyeopener as its pretty hard to pump a multi billion pound company.
Gone from 50% down to 20 % down in a week. First time investing I really believed in this share and not made a loss on shares but self doubt is a ***** should of bought at 98p would of been in profit now. Glad I held and not jumped on the VlS pump and dump
I've seen a few investors get burnt rainbow chasing. One guy sold out of tils at 40p at a 40 percent loss then got spiked on hemo and sold at a 40 percent loss and is down from 50k to around 10k. But if he'd held he would of been 200 percent up
I was reading the board over at Avct. Scary how the derampers get into people's heads and scare them into selling. I've learn overleveraging yourself and using money your too scared to lose is a recipe for disaster. Alot of people missed out on a 30 percent rise due to fear.
Sorry for the moan. New to investing, I was trading on rainbow chasers and Fomo instead of doing my due diligence. Had 12k invested in the ftse made 20percent was well happy. Then I got Fomo got spiked and watched shares move round me. So I withdrew my money with the profit now playing with a grand while I learn the ropes :)
Usop was a crazy pump and dump my first share at the age of 21. It was a 11 bagger was up about 40k but refused to sell as wanted a 100k for a house theb watched the SP drift and now it worth 700 quid. Never learn lol
I have what interested me was the who approval and other factor but the constant drop is grinding me down. Sorry for the moan I've got a grand in here but to be 400 quid down in a month is crazy. Taught me never regret taking profit even if its 10 percent
New to stock market after I got burnt by a pump and dump called Usop ten years ago. Bought some bp shares made a few k. Then got spiked at 3.51 and refused to sell at loss missing the all the market moving around me. Now I'm trapped in this share at 1.70 after a spike and refusing to sell. I don't think the stock markets for me. I'm crap at it. Could of bought anything in the ftse at the same time as these and made a gain now I'm 40 percent down.
When I got spiked in early April I watched this share drop and rise and never get to my buy in point of 3.51, I was new to the market and didn't want to sell at a loss which meant I missed all the big risers in other shares. When I saw the 3.61 I jumped at the selling my shares but missed out in big rise Monday so made 50 quid instead a grand but wow wasn't expecting to see the 20s again!!
Doh was a bit eager this morning when I saw the spike. I'm new to this and sold my shares through the broker at best price. Thought I'd get 3.33 but ended up getting 3.18. Lesson learnt profit is still profit, I got in at 2.89
