Hi L10
Thanks for sharing your reasoned analysis of PRD. I can see you were busy last night typing that up, so it is appreciated. π€£
Contrary to what you may think, I do fundamentally believe that investing is a broad church and theres room for all of us whatever our strategy.
FWIW here is my brief critique...
You will note that I have not described it as well reasoned. The reason for that is that trading and leveraged trading in particular is very risky and you dont mention that. Dont 80-90% of people lose money when they do leveraged trades?
One of the weaknesses of the LTH approach is knowing when to cash out at the top. In PRD, this is reduced because management are only interested in proving up and selling on....meaning special divis and that decision is made for you.
I'll trust that decision because management have significant skin in the game and it's not just about making a few quid for them. They could put the for sale sign up and cash out now if they liked for a fraction of the overall value. No, I believe it's more a mission to them and a bit of a 2 fingered salute to the ruling O&G elite, which I quite like.
One of the other criticisms of the LTH approach is that people always get stung when they are greedy. I respectfully suggest that this also applies to leveraged traders too. In terms of my PRD investment, I have accepted that I will be happy with whatever value they realise, whether it be 40p or Β£4 or Β£11.50 per share.
The other thing that bugs me is that if OJ is sooo successful at this and he is a seasoned experienced professional investor, why is he wasting time scooping up Β£20 pm subscriptions? I'd expect him to be a billionaire now and have this franchised out π€£π€£π€£
So in conclusion:
1. I dont have the time, inclination or risk appetite to try out leveraged trading
2. I believe better gains are achieved by simply waiting and seeing what transpires and making evidence based decisions where needed
3. Sadly, it's a no from me to paraphrase Britain's got talent. I wont be subscribing.
