It does indeed. Hopefully we’ll see a slow and steady rise and consolidation. Retail figures for later are tipped to be good which should help this week.
This seems to have escalating led quickly. Maybe it’s easier if people just ignore idiots rather than trying to bait them into a row. It’s impossible to win and everyone loses.
On a separate note, I’m eagerly awaiting Clarkson’s review which I’m hoping/have a hunch will be positive. Good luck all
Starting to wonder if I should have sold (All or some) at the start of the week, waited a couple of days and then bought back in. I’m sure others are thinking the same! With the expectation of some kind of news it seemed too much of a risk on Monday and Tuesday. Now I’m not so sure. Hindsight is a wonderful thing!
Hi Paul, quick question for you. I notice experienced traders often say about keeping away from spikes - which I completely understand. However, having been ‘spiked’ once or twice over the years my question is this. Is there a way to tell when a spike is forming? Sometimes I’ve looked at an increase (either explosive increase or slow) and felt it could spike. It’s then gone on over the weeks to increase further. Sometimes the opposite, a spike has formed when I didn’t expect it (I.e. a small one in ABF when I should have waited for my entry point). Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
@RRR - no I feel breaking through 70 is more realistic. Reviews so far are positive, but I think most in the know always knew they would be which makes the upside longer-term. Any shooting to 80 will need to be on the back of more substantial business news, in my opinion. Saying that, along with another poster on here who is planning to eat his hat, I’ll do the same if we get to or past 80 today.
@Rox - very true, Sir! I’m one of those. First bought around 50p sold a bit later up for a nice profit. As it kept rising I bought back in and then when it dipped bought some more... just before the placing! In any case, it is what it is. I’m confident this will touch at least £1 short-medium term, but can’t help feeling how much I could have made had I not been hasty and bought back in. I have a habit of doing this!
Take this with a pinch of salt, but a friend of a friend (!!) who works on the business has told me that the DBX reviews are very positive. I know they are very different cars but he thinks the DBX could be the new Cayenne. Total story here so make what you will of it and don’t purchase based on what I’m writing. Just thought I’d share :)
Very pleasing week, although like others on here I need to learn to sell when it’s dropping to buy in lower, rather than holding...hence my average of 75p
On a related note, has anyone managed to test drive a DBX yet? I’m more into the DB9 and seen a used one that takes my fancy (Can’t afford a new one!!!) but would love to know peoples opinions on the DBX?
I meant the angry character who looks for offence in every comment and was on the war path yesterday. I suppose we’ll agree to disagree about capitalism and I still have no idea about the acronym. Assuming it’s controversial so I’ll leave it!!
@3300 - fair enough! I was just worried yesterdays stuff would reignite! And I only posted as it was blocking the board (I’ve also seen the police character on another board earlier...). Sorry, what does Wglm stand for?
@3300 - just to quickly say I owe you an apology as I, myself, labelled you yesterday afternoon in response to a petty spat that was taking place. It seems the threads have all gone now, but in any case I think you were provoked by a few extreme comments (although I stand by my criticism of ghost, he does have an issue with the way he talks to people). Anyway no hard feelings. I’ve been on here for years as some very informative commentators but seldom post as I can’t be doing with the rows and squabbles. In any case best of luck with your share dealings.
@doli - the guardian and independent are both terrible media outlets. Biased and so negative about domestic affairs it boggles the mind. I won’t click on either as don’t want to get their view numbers up! The comments sections can be good...some proper wackos on there who think the sky is falling down and then others with common sense who are simply shouted down or labelled.
Thank you, both. I suppose pragmatically, there stand to be decent numbers accumulated in November (although I wonder if a sales person on the phone is totally in the know, but appreciate any info is good). I’ve an average of around 75p and trying to decide whether to average down or just keep holding for a longer term return. I like to hold a broad range of shares (outside of AIM as been stung through greed with that!!), so I’m in two minds. I originally bought AML in late May, sold for a reasonable profit in early June and then bought back just before the early June spike...I then bought more just before the placing which I didn’t see coming! (Double stupidity!) For me this is now a much longer hold which is fine but would kick myself if it explodes in value and my other funds are stagnating elsewhere!
