Leno - I apologise for the Leonard wife beater connection. It’s a small village, I made an assumption. I’m genuinely sorry. With regards to making money - I’m not sticking life changing amounts into any AIM company under any circumstances. A poster, several posters intact, have highlighted the statistics regarding potential gains/losses. It’s a pastime for me, a small hobby but one that I’ve grown tired of. Money comes and goes and it certainly doesn’t make you happy all of the time.
With regards to snarling at others with a different opinion - I have to disagree there. I have snarled at shady folk who work these BB’s for their own end (I don’t put you in this bracket) and often I reply in defence (like today)
The truth is money can make people say and do silly stuff. I can be blasé about it because I know I can afford to lose what I invest. I think there’s plenty here who have gone deep and if it’s gone south then that’s going to mess with your mind and, consequently, your thinking regarding your investment.
The banter has been fierce on here for several years. Seems to be subsiding now but that’s how it goes when an AIM stick that has been pumped (imo) to high heaven then falls back.
You got in early and you’ve said you’re in profit so be great full because there’s an army of folk who’ve lost thousands here and on similar stock. It’s white collar gambling, imo. Not much different from going down the bookies and throwing it on a horse. Some you win, some you don’t (I’m not a gambler but had a flutter back in the day)
Leno, I promise you I’m not bitter about any of my investments on AIM. I’ve won, I’ve lost, I’ve made good and bad calls. It’s the game! Nothing anyone says on here I take personally. Why would I? Despite my feelings towards Captain Stickywhizzer he’s right when he says that ultimately it’s our choice to hit the buy button. That said, I absolutely believe there’s a whole heap of folk on here who’ve made money off other investors losses (again, I don’t include yourself in this)
Apologies for the lengthly post and I’ve got a whopping steak to cook so I’ll bid you and the BB a good evening. As B1ll said, it’s ok to disagree!
