Take the bad with the good9 Jul 2020 10:11
Nearly everyone I’ve spoken with has had bad experiences investing. However, there’s one thing I’ve learnt and that’s you can’t win then all. You’re always going to make some bad choices, the key is learning from.
The two things I’ve learnt are that you should always spread your risk. No matter how good one share seems, don’t plow all your money into it, always split it between a couple, just incase the worst happens. Second is, if you truly believe in a company hold on tight and for as long as it takes.
I’ve been in here for a fair few years now, since 0.45p. After we got the amazing news of the MT licence, this went over a penny. No one thought it would drop below a penny again, it did within less than a week. It slowly went down to around 0.5p again, making me second guess myself and the market wasn’t ever going to see the potential. Now, I’m finally reaping the benefits of good research and sitting tight. I top sliced at 1p, then again at 3.5p and have just done my final one at 13p (I always intended 9.5p, but we missed it completely). Now it’s a case of riding this out and keeping faith in the BoD.
Moral of the story; if you truly believe in a company and the BoD are doing the right things, it’s purely just a waiting game but those years of waiting will all have been worth it if it comes good in the end.
