Everyone that has taken a long position the last 12 months has been in a loss. Is it the only share though, no, but it doesn't make any easier to swallow. Unfortunately, I am getting a massive hit with this one and others in my portfolio like Boo, Asos.
The funny thing is that they say about the volatility in Crypto, they should take a look at THG and it is more than 90% decline or Asos, Boo 80%... A decline in SP like there are businesses ready to file for insolvency, which isn't the case. Actually many of them are trading currently below their net asset value. They worry about earnings, fair enough, probably the earning will not grow massively, but with lower admin / marketing cost the overall picture can be improved.
What I really think is happening, many withdrew their money from e-commerce and they put in other sectors like oil, tobacco, mining etc, we just caught on the wrong side of the cycle, insisting that we are right, missing the point that investing isn't about being right, it's about making money.
