Yes and year one I lost 380k!
Never add to a losing trade is 101 my friend. If you can’t see this then while you may get lucky on occasion, it’s a losing strategy.
Good luck though. I hope you get lucky here.
I have made plenty of mistakes over the years. £1.2 million up over 8 years but that conceals some howling errors.
We are all learning my friend. The day we think we are not is there start of our demise.
Good luck to you.
And where does it end? You keep adding the more it drops? Average down your position but this does not mean you don’t lose more money than if you did not add a further trade.
Blind faith gets you nowhere.
If you have bought in at 44 as an average then if it drops to 42 then you are in a losing trade therefore adding to a losing trade.
So the highest price you have bought in at is 44? Just tell us what prices you have bought in at.
What are you invested in at the moment? What price did you buy? Maybe I misunderstood.
The FTSE is down 0.5%. Hardly a big drop.
Dips fine but don’t add to losing trades.
You add to losing trades? Never a good idea.
Bit of sensitivity merely supports my theory that most here are kids or people with very minimal experience or expertise.
My name is apt because we are all learning. In 7 years I am a total of £1.6 million up but within this I have made some stupid errors. The day you think you are not a learner in this is the start of your demise.
Keep the emotions and insults coming if it makes you feel better.
On the stock, I am disappointed that we did not see more of a rise following the news and the FTSE rise but you just never know as with stocks you are not predicting what ‘should’ happen you are predicting human emotion and the quants/bot sets as well as dealing with greedy market makers.
Good luck to all , even those throwing the insults. Life is too short.
My own view on this stock is medium term good , short term choppy. But who knows.
All quiet. Now the forum is overly negative. Human beings have lost the capacity to be balanced.
I struggle to believe many here are serious investors as there is so much excitable and panic emotion driven posts.
For those struggling to see any negatives:

I still see good medium term potential here.
I’m back in at 43. I still see medium term potential here. Could we get to 60 soon as someone said? I hope so but I would be surprised and frankly if we get to late 50s in next two weeks I’m selling because such a rise is nearly always followed by a temporary pullback and therein lies the problem. If 10000 other people think the same then the price will be impacted.
All in the world of trading a high potential but high risk share in a very volatile unpredictable market.
In the next two weeks I expect this share to bounce around but not break 50 or 35.
You said SP would be 60 today or tomorrow. I think it’s you who needs to learn as you continue to make such basic errors as failure to realise that no share exists in a vacuum and is influenced by overall market. You did not factor this in with your 60 prediction.
And still the rampers show up with silly phrases such as ‘Shake out the weak’.
The company has a debt which remains a risk. I still think it’s a good buy but it is risky.
Where’s the guy who said the SP would be 60 today? Presumably ramping on another log in.
Just 10% out!
75p tomorrow did someone say? So you are predicting almost a 100% gain!
Well, you keep telling us how often you are right so let’s see if 60 hits tomorrow or Friday as you have been incessantly predicting.
Not sure where the derampers get their huge pessimism from either. Seems like very few people here are capable of balanced assessment
It’s very interesting looking back at posts people have made in the past predicting the future, both excessive rampers and de rampers.
Remember everyone those predicting rises to ‘60 this week’ or drops to ‘20 within two weeks’ have been doing so for the last month.
I encourage all investors to ignore anyone who is predicting share price numbers in a supposedly knowledgable way.
The ‘rollercoaster’ ride is only being endured by the excitable rampers predicting silly share jumps. I am now not invested but I hope and expect this share to go up as many are and it served me well.
Ignore extreme rampers and derampers. This will not see sub 40 or over 60 this week and probably not next.
So 60 by Thursday or Friday or you won’t trade again? This is what you are committing to. Does this mean no more posts from you or your alias accounts here?
I hope it gets to 60 for the sake of many here. No deramping. I have never shorted a stock. I don’t do it. My issue with obsessive rampers such as you is that as soon as anyone provides an alternative view you turn aggressive. Just accept other opinions.
