Patience pays,,,usually.

SMTs annualised returns have always been amongst the top of it's peers, I think newer investors were expecting another 12 months of stonking 100% uplifts but that was a one off and a good lump was from Tesla.
Stay cool, stay invested and have a look at the 10 year annualised returns, nothing at all to be worried about-

Take care buddy.

Contrary laallee?
I was hopeful whilst there was hope, I am realistic when hope has gone. I know when I am beaten.
Nothing contrary, just a realisation and a need to adapt to the changes in my investments.
Good luck.

Ziquarat,
You could have said that in 3 words-
It is fxxxed.

You are welcome Linton.

Admit nothing.
Deny everything.
Make counter accusations.
Above all, Stay frosty.

Stay frosty.

It's a tad off putting but that's the cost!
I'll be buying in on the 1st of June. Good long term prospects.

Bill?

1 month -10%
6 months +5%
12 months +55%
5 years +321%

Not a bad performance, if this averaged out at 10% per year I would be more than happy. Not to mention the small dividend...
Drip feed your purchases and try to ignore the volatility.

DorsetLSE.
Yes. SSON is a good one to be in along with LDIT. Having a portfolio that covers everything is a good thing but I have no complaints about SMT.
It is my largest holding (24%) and despite the recent drop it is still the best performer.

Hello. Only us 2 interested in this? The 16% premium is a little bit of a hurdle but I'll probably lump in at the end of this month.
Good luck.

I have money in 22 ITs covering a multitude of regions and commerce. Some gain, some lose (they are all losing today!!)
Over time some will gain a lot, some will be more steady, some even pay a dividend for my patience.
Over time they are proven historic winners.
I do not have to do anything apart from give them time.
Stay frosty.

Cheers Fatal,
Can I have a signed photo please.

Not of you.

I would never put Uncas and dapper in the same sentence, he has worn that silly Wallace & Gromit tie on the two occasions we have crossed paths.

Fatal my old buddy.
Have you lost your marbles?
Stay Frosty!

It is comforting to hear that Uliel is allowing the unsophisticated investors to fill their boots with "cheap shares" before the sophisticated investors get a chance.......deary me, you could write a book on it.
Hang on, he has-

It is good to see you have not lost your sense of humour Fatal.

I'll never forget Uliels preference for "sophisticated investors"
Now he is coming cap in hand to the poor, loyal and unsophisticated hoi polloi.
Potter will be doing a Koots in a few weeks and Ully with his old mate Bizzell will drag this out for a couple of years to treat their wives to a couple of Caribbean holidays and a new kitchen.
And not forgetting the young subaltern, Proffitt. His daddy got him in to BPC in the old days and where can he go now with a CV like his??
As Roy Orbison would say- It's Over.
But, as Robert Service once wrote-

"You're sick of the game!" Well, now, that's a shame.
You're young and you're brave and you're bright.
"You've had a raw deal!" I know — but don't squeal,
Buck up, do your damnedest, and fight.

Stay frosty.
