RE: Do your own research22 Jul 2018 06:57
V true kickboxer, I have been put off certain companies when researching and visiting the BB seeing infighting, accusations of price control, deramping, ramping etc, don't like the games on aim. It's such a shame, every BB is a range from " this is a dog" to "it's a ten bagger next week". Then you look at risers and fallers and think it's just a matter of finding the right posters!!
Aim is all high risk, companies on the verge of development may need to do massive placements, not all bad. You need to find something you believe in, research thoroughly, think macro and micro, be prepared to sit it out, and find good management.
There are some gravy drinking dogs I could name, but look at the charts, fundamentals, management, and spread it around a bit.
If you've been at this for a few years why would you find a company financial experts, full time, with resources, maybe 30 years experience have accidently overlooked? Chris wooodford with his vast experience is looking for 5% p.a. ( yes he's limited as he has billions to invest and can't have a punt on Bolivian diamonds or Russian court cases!) but the key I think is good management, big investment house having an interest and to a lesser extend managers with skin in the game. I think we have all that here. Hope this BB doesn't start to sound like a school playground fight, less of the name calling and more fact please!!
