RE: Couldn't make it up!23 Sep 2017 10:40
It may be of some comfort for you to know that you are not alone Pandy2. I am in exactly in the same boat and it has happened to me on many occasions. I believe that we are not really supposed to be dabbling in the stock market because we are just not up to speed with the reality of how the market works and how we are playing financial chess with the unseen opponents called the market makers and if you are not very clever, you stand no chance. The MMs will always know what is going on before we do and as I have said many times before, they are out to rob you blind and they are very good at it. However, if you are shrewd enough, I am sure that it is possible to make money here. I am well in profit with both IQE and ITM, but whether that situation continues is entirely up to me. Am I a gambler or not? Sadly I am and I am convinced that both companies have great futures so I am going to stick with them and if I lose, that's my fault, but if I win, that will be down to me also but either way the experience of the last eight years has broadened my mind and given me a tremendous interesting hobby and I have a strange kind of pride in the fact that I am having a go at improving my lot instead of whinging about poor interest rates on my savings in the usual investment houses. So chin up Pandy2, at lease you are giving it a shot. GL.
