The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring financial educator and author Jared Dillian has been released. Listen here.
To be fair WG is probably a little embarrassed he got sucked into and was slightly hoodwinked by the whole Da affair.
As far as I'm aware Da approached him and Punter for help, which they gave in good faith. It seems they didn't agree on all the analysis Da shared, inretrospectively with very good reason.
If you look at Das post history he went from being a huge ramper to being the opposite in 24 hours, after they had been talking.
Classic shorter behavior and his behaviour afterwards just got more and more desperate, to the point of embarrassing.
As far as I'm aware WG had a massive holding.
If he has faced financial pressure with regards to issues with another share maybe he was feeling over exposed here.
To be frank, people should only be concerned with their own investments.
IF he has chosen to reduce his exposure, here, it is his business and not anyone else's.
It should also be of no consequence to what you are, or plan on doing with your money.
Your last paragraph Tex nails it.
Overplayed and shouldn't be taken seriously, regardless if you have a slightly contrarian view.
Hence why so many of us are on here today.
Wolf,
That made me laugh.
People think this forum is bad, they should try writing on some of the IT technical and contractor forums.
Far much more of a bear pit and controversial those.
Even the sock puppets had sock puppets just so they could blast you down.
You had to be fairly confident, to say the very least, to become a confident and valued poster on those.
That's fair comment Wolf.
I'm the same with regards to finding interest.
I come from a finance background as well, but in IT.
Have worked with 7 investment banks, with traders, Market Risk and Credit Risk.
I get what you're saying, you have to be objective.
My brother remains very confident in GGP, so seems good there.
He's running a strong 500% profit across his portfolio this year.
It was him that suggested me looking at Syme.
I honestly think we will come good here.
No ones here just for the fun and giggles redbox, that's for sure.
Wolf,
You are a braver man than me then.
You say that, but you do seem to research as well, just like seadoc.
Like him, you and me will never totally, although I was surprised when you said you had bought in here.
That was unexpected.
My little bro has and is doing very, very, well in GGP, although he was in at around 7p .
So, I reckon you should do well there.
Dufry,
They are in the rampers broom cupboard, stashed away and mothballed until they are needed next time.
I ,for one, don't particularly miss them either.
Wolf,
Dont make me laugh, I would like to see someone taken to court for ramping a share.
Posting a load of BS running a company down, that could affect its share price is another matter.
I thought you said you had bought in, but I suspect you are just playing the role of a more PC/cuddly/subtle deramper on here.
If you wish to try and take me to court, for saying so, please be my guest.
Seadoc,
At the very least you have always admitted you are short.
That's fine, that's your strategy at present, it just differs from my current view.
Yes, you might get a heads up to look at a company that way, but I know you look at far more, in the terms of research, than just users posts on these boards.
The snakes have multiple heads, unfortunately they can be traced back to the same ip.
I had to explain to the Mrs exactly what was happening as I had spent quite a bit of time swatting these mosquitos away.
Luckily she invests a bit herself, so she understands.
Even she was quite surprised at the lengths these guys are prepared to go, especially the falsification of materials part.
Obviously, you cannot view these here unfortunately.
Xerxes300,
Unfortunately Siviano/Da is part of a shorter crew.
You only have to see how desperate they are getting.
They have got so bad LSE have deleted many of the posts and the multiple user accounts.
It's all very sad.
"Nobody de-ramps a bad share. Can't believe the rubbish they are posting."
My brother and I concluded that the more deramping a share gets, the more valuable in the long run.
Unfortunately those that don't appreciate that fact lose money.
Why are you bricking it?
You're all sold up and made a £200K profit....
Alledgedly.
"FB your right, I am behind you. I cannot believe how stupid I have been investing money following these boards"
OMG, so your investment strategy is looking at what a bunch of people, on the Internet, that you have never met.
You are even more of a total fool than I thought before.
Good luck with your investments, you are certainly going to need it.
Wrong Da/Siviano
We have seen a real Bloomberg screen, from yesterday, now.
A lot different to your doctored ones, that we have also seen.
Now do run along, there's a good chap.
Let's not forget to short you need rampers and derampers, within the team, which are used to try and get the SP to move, depending on whether you are opening or closing the short.
Seen both here, that's for sure.
Some of the bank held shares could be nominee shares and some not obviously.
No Mick that's my butlers name ;).
Seems our man's a Farage fan, just like TW.
Great story Da.
In reality I think you were short.
Hence the delayed, alledgedly misprinted, buys printed on LSE today that you said were actually your sells from yesterday.
As you rightfully pointed out, everyone's allowed to have their own opinion and I have mine.
As for your Hyde Park flat and your butler I think that is a total load of pony as well.
Your not invested now and I struggle to see why you are interested in typing endless, lengthy, missives to strangers on a forum about a share you are no longer invested in.
Unless you potentially wanted to open another short and start ramping the feck out of the stock again.
Oh that amount of shares were sold for sure.
I saw an HL screenshot with the sales from yesterday, now deleted. Name, dealing ref blanked out.
I saw the LSE screenshot from today where he said his sales were delayed and misprinted as buys.
In reality, if he was short they were not mis printed they were the buy side of the short.
The rest was just noise and BS.
