That won’t do a lot of good.

Thanks Robin. Good to know.

Ups and downs I’m ok with, but a down of £52k profit I’m finding difficult to swallow. It won’t happen again.

I have to eat my words and admit that “AJ”from investors chronicle was right. This was a sell at £1.20 and my wife was correct when she suggested that I take some profit at £1.80. So will I learn from my mistakes? I certainly hope so. In the last few months I have been trimming my VRS holding and investing elsewhere. One particular company, I have been watching for eleven years and it is only just growing legs, so these things take time. I am sure that VRS is destined for great things which is why I am still a holder, but the term LTH is not a badge that I will be wearing in future unless the sp is on a steady climb. I do think that the lack of news updates from NR is a little unusual, but I suppose that if there is nothing to report, so be it.

I am sorry to say that I have bestowed the kiss of death on AVCT late PM. I topped up, so expect the worst tomorrow.

I think that you have to keep your feet on the ground with Avacta. So the Affimer has found its way round a mouse and delivered a warhead to the right address, very good. If it can find its way round a human, deliver the warhead to the right address without dropping it and not cause the human any nasty side effects, then you can expect telephone number profits. Having said that, great news anyway.

Having been in business for a number of years, I got to deal with all sorts of characters and some of them were outright crooks, but they knew what they wanted and they went for it without a thought for the morality of what they were doing. On the other hand some of them were just simply brilliant at what they did and succeeded by being clever and shrewd and you sit back and admire them from afar. I am hoping that Cathal Friel is one of the latter, if so, just enjoy the ride, if not, it won't come as any great shock.

I'm quite heavily into SKIN, but still gradually losing a large profit here, which is my fault for not taking more profit at £1.80.

moniman, I have the same problem. CF appears to be confident enough to risk his own money and yet it just seems somehow too easy to turn a company around to profitability and to sell it at the latest by the end of the year. Could be worth a punt though.

I missed the finely instead of finally.

And with him goes his horrific spelling. "Nothing to right home about" "Board of this rubbish".

Just to give you an idea, I did the same thing with Fevertree. Doh!

Good article RMR, thank you.

This has been a buy and hold for me, but I sold out yesterday at 190% profit because I can't quite see what's keeping it up. However, history tells me that whatever I do, it will be wrong, but as somebody else said, profit is profit, but a close eye in needed here.

Huge lesson learned here with VRS. I've watched £43k worth of profit gradually leak away here because of indecision and it's happened on a couple of other of my shares as well. Note to self, take profits. You can always reinvest, even though you may lose a little. Congrats to those who sold at £1.80. Smart move.

I enjoyed the podcast which was very informative and reassuring. During the year I have whittled down my portfolio to a small number of forward looking companies with bright futures which includes VRS, so it's now time to sit back and let the market do its thing and hopefully make me a little better off. Happy new year all, and looking forward to a profitable 2020.

I think that the term "inexperienced" could have been applied to any of the candidates for PM.

Stay young. Eat well, excercise, do yoga and get your prostate checked out.

Once again, "AJ" from Investors Chronicle has pronounced VRS as a sell, this time at 79p. Let's hope it never dips to the Feb 19 low again. Incidentally, alcohol dehydrates the body and will make you feel even worse....eventually. Try a flu jab, works wonders for nearly everyone. I always have one, and they're free for us old crocks. Have a great Christmas everyone.

Just dipped a toe in
