I’m still in. Not got many (not free shares) but still in and still hopeful.
I am a novice investor so probably not the best person to answer your question.
However my view would be that there are not many certainties in life. I have also learnt a harsh lesson in the last few days NOT to trust others so please be cautious about any advice given to you (including from myself).
I am sure in early December there would have been a lot of people certain around a number of things happening in 20/21 which have since been impacted by COVID.
Unexpected things happen so you should only invest what you are prepared to lose.
Be careful.
Thanks Mark@1973. Definitely feeling a bit bruised tonight but want to learn and get better and ultimately in time hopefully leave a small nest egg to my young children. Tomorrow is another day.
Thanks TheTruth. and AlanSugareatyour!
Got a bit carried away TBH. Alarm bells were there but didnt listen to them. Like you said I live to fight another day and just need to be more conservative until I understand how things work a bit better.
Appreciate you taking time to respond on my post.
Hi all,
on Monday after months and months of being patient my portfolio moved out of the red and 10% up. I was delighted as a novice investor and my portfolio was well placed in a number of good stocks with good entry points.
Today I learnt a harsh lesson!!
I followed twitter advice (Top Aim Stocks) for the first time and bought into this share (as well as a couple of others) and ended up with my portfolio 16% down.
I deserve it! I broke my discipline, my own rules (regardless of whether they are the right ones or not) and ultimately put it down to greed after seeing many stocks pull 100%+ rises.
Being on holiday for a few days I moved from being an investor to a greedy wannabe trader and in 3 days ruined all my hard work.
I deserve it and don’t ask for any sympathy but feel there is value in highlighting to other novice investors.
Be careful listening to others, don’t chase your losses otherwise this becomes gambling and not investing which is what I really want to do.
Will revert back to my slow, methodical and well researched approach and hopefully get my capital back sooner rather than later.
Hope the others who got spiked with this share yesterday also take a step back and think about their strategy.
K.
The former ratio of five (5) ordinary shares to one (1) American Depositary Share ("ADS") has been changed to two (2) ordinary shares per one (1) ADS effective on 31 July 2020. There will be no change to the underlying ordinary shares.
Agree with the last poster. I have read numerous posts of your both here and originally on ESL and have always found your posts balanced and informative. Don’t stop posting, your thoughts are appreciated.
Hey McFish,
I didn’t deserve your response but I understand your sceptiscm.
I don’t write a lot on boards as I am a pretty inexperienced investor and still learning and researching so at this time I feel I can’t offer a whole lot. I was just confirming I got the corporate action to provide additional evidence that it had been sent..... but on reflection should have pasted the content.
I hold a small position in MTFB (not free shares). I have always understood this share to appear high risk/high reward but as you will see from my lack of posts I am neither a ramper or deramper. I generally have just been an observer in the last few months since I started investing this year.
I am not a day trader, all the capital I can afford (which isn’t a lot) is in various shares. I have more losers than winners at the moment but I am patient and hoping my judgement will come good in the end.
Anyway wasn’t meaning to upset you or anyone.
Cheers.
Yup on my Halifax too. Not overly worried tbh.
Hey Sam, I am an inexperienced investor and have been investing for a couple of months now. Bought on a few spikes and running with losses on most of my shares. where I am running at a loss I am holding tight. Timing is everything and whilst I know my timing of my buys so far has been imperfect it will be the timing of my sells that will matter more. I am trying to detach myself from the emotions of seeing my loss position each day, getting better at researching, reading trends and cutting through some of the noise that is generated on these boards. Wishing you every success m8!
