Who's Derek?
Ban it's the same here weather wise, haha, I replaced my decking year before last. I was tempted to sell a few shares to pay for it.
Morns Ban, MD others
there's an irony in the ones who say negative posts stop people buying... which would involve someone selling for the buyers to buy.
For hundreds of years, companies knew exactly who their shareholders were and could communicate freely with them on matters of importance. Today, they can't and that's wrong.
The increasing popularity of electronic trading and holding of shares using investment platforms has been a very positive development but, it has also placed an unacceptable communication block between share issuers and holders. This undermines the whole concept of capitalism by creating companies who are increasingly unaccountable to their invisible owners. The consequences of this are clear.
To correct this serious and uniquely British flaw in the efficient operation of capitalism, Marks and Spencer and ShareSoc have jointly written to Business Secretary, The Rt Hon Kemi Badenoch MP, urging the Government to modernise the Companies Act to allow electronic (ie digital) communication with and between shareholders and web-based access to AGMs and General Meetings*.
Please can you support this initiative by reading and signing the supporting petition to UK Government so we can ensure this important matter is given the attention it deserves.
Give all shareholders a voice by bringing Company Law into the 21st Century
Help more investors engage with UK plcs by modernising the Companies Act: Give beneficial shareholders the right to direct info on plcs they invest in & plcs the right to visibility of who their shareholders are, make email a requirement to shareholding registration, & recognise digital AGMs.
More details
Outdated legislation stops shareholder voices being heard. Almost half of individual shareholders can’t directly engage with the company they invest in, as they invest via platforms, the rest are constrained by a paper-based system. At the same time, companies are losing sight of who their investors are. Digital first reform will be better for shareholders, better for business and ultimately, better for Britain – making the UK a more attractive place to invest and to list.

Carrying on, lets add stupid and sensible into the mix, should one hold onto stocks regardless of price ( falls ) when life can be taken away at any time irrespective of age, health, faith or ...wealth.
Dare you imagine being collected from this mortal life with a gaping hole in your finances, do those who you wish to benefit from your wealth have the means, rights or knowledge to access the money, or even the time, intention, ability or wish to hold until a profit is attained?

You're being too simplistic, it's not black and white, go as far as to say there's fifty shades of grey.
There's a blurring of actions, should you buy once and sell once does that make you a trader or investor?
We have to look at reasons why anybody may buy and sell, let's say, a wedding, funeral, anniversary to name a few, is it possible to be an investor who needs to sell for a reason but keep their eye on the company with intention to buy back when funds allow?
How about saving their funds when the occasion warrants it?
How many actually fall cleanly into one of those camps?
More to the point, how many are trading in our current position, allowing for spreads unlikely many if any are making any money...higher chance of losing money.

Investors don't watch the share price then?
Odd one out then...I do.
Sticky key.

There again it may be the straw that breaks the camels back.
That's if there are any straws left after all those that have been clutched.
This may cheer a few up

" Readjustment of the index constituents (the companies that make up the FTSE 100) happens every quarter, usually the Wednesday following the first Friday in March, June, September, and December. "
Looks like a close call, £4b may be enough to keep in, but guess it'll depend when they reassess how all the companies have fared.

Believe that's the latest statistics.
Eves Ban, I'm impressed, last time I worked in a legal & authority regulated environment was prison.
My comment was a response to SCE2AUX.
Excuse the Hebrew.

Psss, the prison bit's a moment of humour.
Hate them, splitters.

md, it's early and being barely awoke. With limited information on such matters one has to walk very carefully with any reply, one thing I'm not renown for, and hope mine came over as intended.
