Hello all,
I had a nosey on the forum today after a long time as I no longer have a holding here.
I’ve resisted the urge to post or to look on the bb prior to today because I didn’t want to be seen as disruptive or disrespectful but I’ve seen a few friendly names on here tonight and for the most part I got on well with the majority of people here so I thought I’d share some thoughts having gone through exactly what you are going through.
Please spend some time looking at other forums about other trades and other sectors. DONT BUY ANYTHING. Look at how the posters contribute on the board, look at the SP and the trends and analyse the posts before and after. Look at the RNS updates etc. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side but I’m sure I have seen at least 5 stocks full bag and beyond in the time I’ve left GDR.
The pain you guys are going through is universal across the Covid index. There is no guarantees of success and having stocks which are now competing against the vaccine and main market pull, some will make it and other stocks will no doubt tank or try and reduce their covid footprint.
I’m not here to give you recommendations on what to buy, but I wanted to say that after you’ve fallen don’t stay on the ground and keep yourself covered in dirt, instead pick yourself up and think of how you can save your capital and most of all your mental and physical health.
Don’t follow the ramps and dreamers. Write down the facts, look at everything objectively. This is AIM, the LSE is littered with self serving rampers.
Stay safe.
