The advantage you have had for over a year is to be safely holding stock for the big event. If you had not bought in last year but waited until today, you'd be no worse off apart from having had a year of panicking that the big one would drop without you being in. I know all of this because I too have been in for a year at 31p. And for that whole year I too have stayed in the game. For me, the fear of being a few pence down on any given day is nothing compared to the fear of missing out on many bags. Trust me, you have done the right thing by holding, even at a current small paper loss.
Agreed. I told him exactly this on twitter. He blocked me.
Do you worry and check the value of your house daily? Perhaps if your about to need to move, but otherwise, probably not. You may do it up a bit occasionally to keep it nice, perhaps add an extension to make it worth more when you do sell, which is all good stuff, but none of it is worth a thought until you think of selling up and moving out. Until then, just enjoy life. Your shares arent going anywhere unless you sell them.
The stronger the downdraft around a thermal, the stronger the updraft in the core of it. Stick forward, nose down, get through the sink as quickly as you can (say 70 knots), over the cobblestones, feel the punch in the seat of your pants, pull the stick back to slow up to 45 knots while rolling over to the right (most glider pilots thermal to the right for no apparent reason) to 45 degrees bank, and boom - you're in the core. Egg your turn carefully if you find yourself drifting out of the core on your way round (open out in the lift, tighten up in the sink).
Do NOT ever change direction if you feel you're losing the core; your S turn will take you much further away from the core than egging your turn ever will.
In short, if the RNS is strong yet the price drops, then value is rising rapidly. Tolerate the drops until the true value realises. Do NOT change this plan looking for a better payoff elsewhere; you will lose sight of the much better one you are already in.
Because there will always be traders trying to sell the rip and buy the dip for a couple of measly percent. The price can't drop if no one sells. That's what the MMs feed off. Just ignore it. Or buy on the dip.
Time is money. I strongly suspect there are investors who have adopted an attitude of "yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll belive it when I see it." and sold out to chase quicker rainbows. Who knows, over the year or two since a sale process started gathering pace, they may well have chased and caught enough rainbows to justify walking away from EUA. But that's why I think the SP is so much lower than the expected divi - EUA are seen to have cried wolf on the imminent big payout. I'm in no rush - it will come when it comes, but it will come.
"previously months without news" - this has become such a well worn and lazy myth. If you exclude PMEs and Form 8, the number of months in the last two years we've gone without an RNS is 3. And the number of times we've gone consecutive months without an RNS in that time is zero.
My hyopthetical diagnosis is it could be a DNS config error/failure, cloudflare subs not paid, someone moved or renamed the index.htm file, site content been hacked and taken down, there could have been some litigious content that spread across it that needed cleaning up in a hurry - could be loads of things, but I don't think a DoS could be one of them.
Agreed. If anyone is growing weary of trader manipulation, go and look at EUA's six month chart to see the journey we're on.
