Cynders, I agree.
My personal opinion of Trousers is that he's a filing clerk, at best.
I was referring to the original poster's complaint.
He said he'd been holding for years before the 11p spike.
I wouldn't criticise LTH's because it's how most of my money is invested; I didn't trade at all until UKOG's 11p spike.
I'd bought at 3.2p, sold at 10.2p (I still remember this happening overnight, but I'm assured that I'm wrong and thus bow to better memories).
Then I started trading UKOG deliberately, as an experiment (which became ridiculously successful, and I branched out to trading other shares on the back of it).
I accept that I was very fortunate in making the decision to sell.
The price could've easily risen much higher - who was to know? I certainly didn't.
But 300% growth in just a few days... that's enough for anything in AIM, isn't it?
It may indeed have been Trousers fault the SP has crumpled ever since.
But the OP decided to keep holding, hoping for more profit.
We can blame Trousers for a lot of things, but I don't think we can blame him for when we time our decisions when to hold and when to sell.
I'm not defending him for anything else, just think that's a personal decision we each accept the risks for ourselves.
I try to be objective and impartial in my negativity.
