Share prices can go down as well as up.
Do not invest more than you can afford, and certainly don't gamble* more than you can afford.
* By gamble, one means to buy shares without adequate research, generally based on the forum sentiment at the time.
By not adhering to this approach one is liable to mess ones pants every time events evolve at a speed not aligned with ones personal aspirations. Moreover, investing based on forum sentiment leaves one extremely vulnerable to poster manipulation of sentiment. It has even been noted that some may complain about a lack of clarity regarding the detail of any RNS released , but still continue to purchase shares, this again is gambling.
If none of this resonates, maybe a revisit to the oft quoted "IF" will suffice.
