Talk about being 'all in' or 'balls deep', I'll share a little story with you, being that it's a Saturday and all.
Back in Feb, I was balls deep in NMC. Knew it was risky, but I'd hedge my bets, by selling half my holding at the end of each trading day and buying back the following day depending upon price movement. On the 26th Feb, I was travelling up to Fuengirola from San Pedro, to see my brother and watch the Man City vs. Real Madrid game. I didn't do my usual de-risking trick, since I was in a rush to get ready for the journey. Had a brilliant night out in Fuengirola. City were awesome, winning the game after coming back from a 1-0 deficit, and had a great catch up with my brother and his wife.
Got back to my brother's place and checked the chat board...NMC shares suspended! Devastated doesn't begin to describe it. I'm talking 6 figures balls deep as well. Anyway, cut a long story short, I made it all back (and more) on Avacta, Boohoo and Omega, until that is, 9/11. Yes, the yanks put the day and month the other way around, but I'll always remember it as my 9/11. Even Boohoo got a good spanking that day (seen as having benefited from covid, lockdowns, on-line etc.). What a relief to see that 30% rise in the week. Cheered me up no end.
Anyway, nothing to do with the price of eggs, but thought I'd share that anyway.
