Managing Expectations20 Nov 2025 09:06
Why post about the share price every day, moan when it drops and get elated with a rise.
Don't get me wrong but unless you are selling todays share price is irrelevant. I publish figures showing the weekly, monthly year to date adjustment to the share price here https://www.ggpchat.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=1190 over each weekend.
I produce these firstly for my benefit as I do get frustrated by the way the price moves, and it is a healthier way to view the share price, well less frustrating,
These figures show we are performing well, some posters may disagree and find other investments doing better, to them I would say (if you are invested in GGP) move to these investments and leave this board, it is easy to find these investments after the fact.
I would suggest that the posters that clog the board with SP minimal post threads instead decide on their thoughts of the price in pence they would be happy to see the price go up each month, realising that the percentage will drop over time with this approach.
i.e. you can chose your figure be it1,10,20p per month.
So based on a nominal value ATM of 400p the 10p figure would go up 120p in a year, think of it like a football team normally mid-table at the beginning of the season you will be happy if they are not talked about as relegation possible, but do not expect them to top the league. you are managing your expectations.
Treat the SP in the same way, if it is near the line you have previously though was acceptable, then anything near that line is good, if it falls well below this is it that your expectants are wrong, likewise if the share is exceeding your expectations is this not just that your team has out performed, but like with football nothing really matter till the end of the season, with our development ATM our season runs 1 July to 30 June, perhaps you should set realistic figures for you at the end of this season namely 30 June 2026.
