Simple strategy that works well, add a diversified portfolio to the mix to offset the inherent risks with the strategy and life is good..... well most of the time. Also, always take profits on the way up. There will always be fluctuations and the ability to buy in again.
Over exposing is ANY single stock is a recipe for disaster anything can happen to any stock.
SXX was never a safe bet, that was always clear. Simple matter of risk and reward. If someone is selling you a dream of huge returns then you should realise there has to be equal levels of risks. That’s just basic.
In expensive lesson for many first time investors who simply got carried away with the hype and were ignorant to the warning signs and press over the last 12 months. For those who claim to be veteran investors, well you should have known better.
Too many happy to blame CF rather than looking at themselves. You bought into his high risk, potentially lucrative plan to make you all shed loads of money, he failed to deliver.simple as that.
Why people are now risking to lose everything is bizarre and against all investment logic. The only rainbow here would be SXX finding cash to carry the project on themselves, chances of that ? Probably less and 20%.
Too many emotionally attached investors unable to take profits on the way up and now still unable to hit the sell button. Best take some financial advice before investing again.
