People talk about trading and them not getting the same profit as long term investors, I'm not a trader myself so maybe I wont do a good job explaining but this is how I see it
The good thing about trading is you can use much larger sums because you know you're only going to leave it in there for days/weeks and you can set a stop loss to mitigate your risk
GGP has been fairly consistent to time the rises by drill results
If you put £50,000 in a few days ago and sell now you make 20% ish that's £10,000
If you're long term investing it would be prudent to spread out the money more and diversify so maybe you would only put £10k in GGP and be £2000 up now
So with your 10k Investment you now needs SP 26p to make what investing you just made in trading (if my maths is right)
When will we see 26p? when trader you throws in another £50,000 just before the next drill results investment you will still be trying to catch up to their profit
I know this is moot for some of you because you're already nearly 100% all in on GGP anyway but you get the point I'm trying to make
I can totally understand the trading mindset and I can't knock them for it, both investing/trading come with their own benefits and risks
