Any chance of a link to the telegram group? Just signed up to the platform. LTH with ~400k shares, though still not averaged down enough to quite be in the green!

As a reasonably LTH (first bought May 2020) it's nice to finally see it start to inch north.

The majority of my ~350k shares were bought around 3.4p and unfortunately I've not been able to average down much, currently sitting at about 2.8p

This means that for a couple of years now I've been looking at 80-90% down whenever I log in, and as PHE is a very large chunk of my portfolio this can obviously be disheartening, so seeing a small upward trend is obviously something of a relief. The only problem is that I've not had more time and money to buy more at the sale price!

My only concern now is whether I keep buying as I now do (PHE makes up about 10% of my limited investment money - I'm one of those dirty 212 traders!) or start allocating more to it while I still can! =D

One of those would have been mine! Have about a hundred and fifty quid in my 212 account that's reserved for PHE trades - larger orders sometimes don't get fulfilled by the end of the day, so mine were broken up into five or six transactions.
I'm above the 250k share mark now, but will continue to add in small numbers when I can - even at double today's price it's still a bargain!

Like Notforalongtime said, platforms like Freetrade or 212 could definitely be a factor. I use 212 myself, often making small purchases when there's a spare tenner kicking around. Automated services will do the same thing - until recently I had a regular amount deposited each week, which was then automatically split between stocks of my choice when there was enough in the pot. Might mean a share only gets a couple of pound allocated but it adds up over time!

Thanks Raj!
As someone who started out with a premade Vanguard LS fund a few years ago and only started actively investing when the world went sideways, this is my only big win with no big losses so far - not that I'm touching it yet!
Considering selling up on WKHS (down £112, about 19%) and maybe even HYLN (a lesson learned there! Down £486, 63%!) to add to the pot. Would like a million shares, but I would settle for a quarter! ;]

Discovered PHE by chance back in May, started slowly buying at sub-2p prices. Now have nearly 250k @ 3.24 average.
Considered selling more than once when prices were dipping (this is my biggest holding - believe in the vision but don't have the funding as I'm a minimum wage earner on furlough for 8 of the last 9 months!) but aside from a recent 13k sell (that I now regret and am trying to replace, but I had bills!) I've held on thanks to the likes of Stokey, Dr A and kenny.

So my sincerest thanks to those (and other voices of reason) that have encouraged us to keep playing the game. I think my future self will be even more appreciative!

Hoping link shows properly. Guardian article titled "Most plastic will never be recycled – and the manufacturers couldn’t care less"

Room for PHE to help?
