What a week!
Disaster Monday, £80K BPC loss, no blame other than to beat myself up taking risk far too far ---- originally a CERP investor (and prior to that LGO) ----incidentally didn't vote for BPC. 12 years of huge ups and downs, a lot of money and precious time down the tubes. Have I learned a lesson and at last recognised that a conventional, balanced portfolio is that of the wise investor?
No, I haven't. I've tried that and the losers cancelled out the winners and made for a tedious no score draw. I prefer to back on the nose rather than each way.
So having sold out the BPC dud for a pittance on Tuesday, here the good news, 'twas sufficient to buy just under 600k here during the week, climb aboard an extremely attractive and interesting proposition and recover 10% already of my loss. I'll continue adding as funds allow.
Really appreciate the knowledge and decency, humour also, from thread contributors and right now feel very confident I've made a winning investment choice. Am slightly older than RP (do hope his middle name is not Ian!) but feel happy that there's a rewarding conclusion to be reached within Paul’s timeframes. GLA
