"The thing is it goes up tiny amounts then drops over 2% just like that . Sod that"
Yep. Almost everything I'm invested in has been doing exactly that - one step forward, ten steps back - for ages now. ABDN, BBB, SMT, OCDO, XPP, etc. Not long now before I'm completely wiped out. And I'm not joking.
LLL: "SFH300 - good luck with that, though I know where you're coming from! Think you'll find Trading Standards would point you to the risk assessment small print stating 'you may get back less than you invested'."
Yes. My sarcasm doesn't always shine through as I intend it to.
"Ocado Group PLC (LSE:OCDO) (Ocado Group PLC (LSE:OCDO)) received a boost today as Barclays upgraded its rating on the company seeing the risks as more evenly balanced now.
Moving its rating to equal weight from underweight Barclays said “with retail sales set to improve, balance sheet concerns reduced for the time being AND CUSTOMER FULFILMENT CENTRE DEAL FLOW EXPECTATIONS TEMPERED, we think the balance of upside and downside risks is now more evenly poised.”
Barclays has a 775p per share valuation on Ocado.
Shares were trading 1.1% higher."
My emphasis.

... and depressing.
Sick to death of this pile of **** being run by dilettantes. I don't see anything changing for the better until they rename to something more sensible that indicates they're a serious company and not a "Cool Britannia" wannabe.

Amateur - I'm 45% down on this pile of sh*t ;)
If you don't need the money it's probably worth holding for the dividend until the SP improves. Could be a long hold, though. If they rename the company into something more pronounceable and recognisable it could happen.
From the FSTE250. No surprise - like everything else I bought about a year ago on the buy advice of Investor's Chronicle and Money Week, it's proven to be total sh*t. Now 64% down on XPP, 42% down on ABDN, 55% down on OCDO, etc.

None of my investments are falling fast enough. I had hoped to be wiped out completely by Christmas, but at this rate it's going to be at least the spring 2023 before I finally escape the colour red and look forward to the automatic closure of my accounts.
