Wise words Oxford12, I really do appreciate your clarity and level-headed posts.
I'm a brand new investor, SNG is my first venture into shares and I have read every word on the excellent Reddit page (thanks to WedMe and others for all this work), The Lancet peer review, etc. to make up my own mind on this. Amazed at how fickle the larket was following the Pfizer news story, all part of my education.
As an amusing example of a schoolboy error, I ended up with far more shares than I intended: I opened a Shares ISA last Monday to buy from, instead of my bog-standard HL account (already with 4,000 shares in it) and bought 4,000 more, intending to immediately sell the original 4,000 to pay for them. I cunningly delayed selling them, hoping (ha!) they might rise a bit. Then went off to mend the toilet for an hour or so. Not clever. I came back back to find the SP plummetting so I've ended up keeping all 8,000 of them.
Maybe this was a hidden hand? I hope so! No, I believe so.
