That's how anyone should take prediction or fag packet math on LSE.
I liked both savvys and weathergeeks fag packet math, but it was only based on limited information available and since we don't know enough about costs to work out the profits its just optimistic guesswork, but still the best anyone can do with what was available.
Only issue i had with savvys math is the PE ratio and as such would always look to the lowest and not get excited or drawn in by the higher numbers.
Both of those people still offered more than most posters on here did , but that doesn't mean we should take anything as factual and invest off the back of it.
At the end of the day our investments are made from our choices and if our choice is to listen to fairytales or only the ramping side of the argument then that is on us and any loss or profit is on our own back and nobody else's.
If people are borrowing money to invest or using money for mortgage payments then they need to speak to gamblers anonymous because they have a problem.
I've been in the red here since day 1, over 50% down at one point. But that's no posters fault on here .
You won't hear me blaming others for my investment choices.
If people are investing off the back of ramping or others opinion then its a valuable lesson they need to learn from , because at somepoint they will learn from it , be it here or elsewhere and the costly lessons are the hardest to take but will teach you fast.
If people are presenting facts mixed with opinion then you check the facts and discard the opinion and never count your chickens or expect the market to react the way you feel it should.
At the end of the day , take everything on a BB with a pinch of salt and trust nobody.
Doesn't mean you have to hate or abuse everyone, just remember you don't really know who you are talking to or what their agenda is .
But ffs own your own decisions
