Heya Smittster.
Unusually kind words for this board.
Lol.
Congrat's on trading it.
Hard luck on holding it.
I did a lot more before trading I found this forum (2019-20?) and then less and less since.
I am convinced that's the only way to make any money outta this but the risk is enormous, with this 'board of directors' (read "clowns").
Now I don't think I've held any for around eighteen months.
I don't really trade AIM much at all these days.
Bit too much risk for the reward.
Having said that I did flip Watkin Jones a week ago, but not for that much.
Just saw a quick turn-around coming and took it - 10% for two hours. Happy to take those.
It fell soon after though, when I expected it to rise more and that's put me off again.
I've held a chunk of BP since I started actively managing my own investments.
I mostly hold that for dividends, but do flip some about twice a year.
Make about the same from both and there's a lot less risk involved.
I do post in here about it but the donuts can't help pointing themselves out whenever I do.
Happy to see they still don't know what they're talkin' about.
:)
Only trouble with BP, for me, is that it's skewing my whole portfolio now.
I keep trying to sell it down a bit to re-balance, but every time I do the price falls and I end up buying even more back.
First world problems, but it does give me some cause for concern;
Everyone's had that one "sure thing" that suddenly went down with all their cash.
BP's a big chunk of my future.
It wouldn't break me, but it would break my heirs'.
;)
Have a great weekend bud.
