I'm doing ok tbh. I have about 25 shares and across the board I'm 5% in profit. I've had a couple of lucky day trades and overall think I must be up. Not too sure though. I took 40% profits in UEN very early and missed out on making about £5k. If I had the chance again I'd do what I did here and 'top slice'
Failure is the best way to learn, I'm sure there a very few people who haven't had some bad trades - in spite of what they may say. HBoS & Barclays wiped out all my Sept 19th profits and some. I've gradually become more cautious. Bit too cautious tbh, should've bought Barc at 50p but dithered too long
