The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
I have a small investment (£1K) bought at 1p and a few times have thought "sell when it gets over 2p" and each time disappointed when it drops back. Part of me sells sell next time it goes up, then put it all back in on the dip, but another part says that sods law would be that it'd continue going up and my original 1p buy would've been better left as it was.
It can feel like hard work when trading relatively low amounts but we all have to invest within our means. I've got some in my portfolio where I invested £500 each (and making a loss) and others more where in some cases I've lost the lot (Debenhams, McColls) and others doing OK. In QBT I've got £1K in (and currently 130% up) but know it can easily go hurtling down and wish I took the profit! What would I do with the profit? Probably put double into a share (and screw up on it no doubt ha ha).
Hoping someone can recap on what I think I saw on here a few weeks back - that there were some options available to some key people (staff?). What I recall was 5p and end of January so if anyone can refresh me, that'd be appreciated!
As someone who spends most of my life analysing client websites, the QBT site bothers me (as a small investor). Those 'To be announced' references are ridiculous (leave them out or make them links to something of relevance). Attention to detail is poor (e.g. the website has a 2021 date in the footer), implies finger not on the pulse. Seemingly minor points to most but to me, red flags.
You've gotta laugh (or cry) - I bode my time and thought getting in at 1p was good - then look at it drop further the next day. I think I should set up a separate revenue stream charging people a fee for when I'm going to buy a share (so they know to avoid them lol).
I don't post here often but value those calling out the nasties. Kiss of death: bought QBT (only £1K) last year and sold at small 33% profit (then they went higher before dropping back - typical of my luck). That was at 2p. Just bought same at 1p so hopefully won't be kiss of death. Yes, I know I'm small time investor!
I'm smalltime investor - bought in at 2p awhile back, then they plummeted, now sold at 2.73p. Not a huge profit but hey. Anyway, you guys should all be ok now because shares usually rise further after I've sold mine!
Since I've been on the forums I think I've become qualified as a gynaecologist because of the experience of so many ****ts - ramping. They know who they are and they must think we're stupid. Same old names ramping and then proven to be wrong. The C(ovid) word is too good for them. Growl over.
I'm an amateur investor and aware they could drop further, but made a small buy (by other peoples standards) of 80K shares at 1.71p this morning. Did the same with QBT though (thinking it'd not go lower than 2p - and did), so not exactly an expert (but thought worth the punt at 1.71p).
Been watching this as a small time investor. Flipped a coin when it got to 2.4p. Coin said Tails. Did it again at 2.14p. Coin said Tails. Did it today at 2p. Coin said heads so put £1,000 in. Yeah, I know, hardly scientific but let's see.
Tanks Skwizz - good to see your strategy building up over time. I like the idea of taking small percentages when the investments are larger. I have invested more in other stocks (e.g. put £1,000 in HSS Hire and took £800 profit out of it yesterday and am still 40% up on that £1,000, as that one rises. I'm an amateur though - just find something that looks like it's dropped as low as it can and put money into it. I know that's a daft strategy - should spend time learning how to do it properly!
Novice investor, took a punt on this (only £380) months back on 0.20p. Discouraged when it dropped down and now kicking myself for not buying more. Although it's pennies to most of you, should I just hold onto these and see what happens (rather than taking a profit now)? Have visions of all the good news evaporating and it dropping below 0.20 again (probably paranoid).
Been on here for ages but just signed up to post. Been interesting seeing the various discussions/personalities (on various stocks).
I'm a very amateur (not rich!) investor, who just happened to punt £500 on Amigo when it hit 5.21p. Watched it climb up and then drop down. Hindsight is wonderful - if sold at the higher levels, could have reinvested more when it declines as it is, but thought it'd carry on going up.
I know a lot of the guys on here are larger investors, and I know you need to invest more than I did but hey, learning as I go along!
