Are you sure you should be on the stock market Junior? Your experience today can easily be replicated repeatedly. This share will soon exceed your buy in price. You have to learn to manage your emotions or you will become totally exhausted by investing. It's always a good idea to read all the RNS' before you buy and think carefully about the industry you are buying into in relation to what will sell. Aim is brilliant for fast growing companies but often the potential takes time to realise. I got lucky on GDR but everyone gets the timing about when to buy, wrong sometimes. And everyone finds it hard emotionally when the timing is off key or they see their profits under pressure. If you have picked a winner you will end up in profit anyway. The only reason to panic sell is if you have picked a real dog.
But as others have suggested, this ain't no casino. You have to read your head off and think about sales potential, the industry, politics can be relevant and that's before you look at the trading patterns, sentiment, volumes etc. And then there's the market makers- Aim is less regulated than all the other markets. Sorry you are having a bad time so far.
