No offence taken
holders in the AIm companies i named would perhaps not share your views, long term, not trading and doing well. Yes some AIM companies fdo very well and move to main listing. Too many frauds on AIM to give an investment balance.
Those who may have taken money off the table if they came in here at average 0.44 like I did. Then bought back in if they sold at over 4p, will have done so over a longer period than 6 months. Charts will not have predicted those wild swings, or when, no matter how much the chartists will tell us they did, all with hindsight. Trading over days and weeks is high risk. We have traders complaining on here at buying in at 4p and not being able to get out etc.
I have invested what I am prepared to accept I can lose,and I do not want to lose anything. My 3-5 year view looks like coming in at the back end. That is fine as it was in the plan. In saying that I am still ahead anyway.
Life is full of its and buts
My biggest losses were in the FTSE 100 and the FTSE 250, AIM even with two in dire trouble has still been far kinder.
