Don't forget the hammering that Nasdaq /digital stocks have taken recently and particularly yesterday. Also the squeeze on everything at the moment generally leads to easy discretionary corporate spending being cut first, which unfortunately advertising falls into (although many would argue that in times such as these investment in ad spend should actually increase to try and maintain sales).
Very LTH here - first bought in at end of 2014, well above £1. Averaged down to 37p over the next couple of years then essentially gave up, but being the stubborn git (and consequently rubbish investor) that I am refused to sell in the hope i might at least be able to recoup my cost at some point. Sat on 122k of these shares, so will be quite nice if we can at least get above my 37p average cost this year. Been a major drag on my portfolio for way too long...
Been invested here since 2014. Averaged down a fair few times but still have average cost of 35p or so. In my mind wrote my investment off several years ago as it was always always jam tomorrow. But would be nice if I did manage to break even or even get a profit .
Thanks Elguiri. Happier to bow to wiser/more knowledgeable heads in this area. Having been through (and in fact continuing to go through) a process at my own place to try and standardise all the steps in what should be the same process in every market, i can well understand the complexities involved. I guess my point was that once an organisation's process flows are all 100% standardised step-by-step across the world (no mean feat in and of itself as every employee in a certain function does things slightly differently - and don't get me started when Excel starts creeping into the equation!), then the transfer of that fully standardised process into an RPA environment "should" be straightforward regardless of the supplier of that RPA service. Hope that helps clarify where i was coming from, but as per my opening remark i'm not precious about my pov and happy to be corrected by others more in the know.
Low barriers to entry I suspect. Wouldn't take much for one of the big boys to enter the market - at a discounted price point - and take all of BP's share. I think a lot will depend on their existing client base (which looks impressive from their announcements) loyalty.
If it breaks 800 might just sell up (i'm usually a LTH and rarely day trade) and just pocket the £200 profit and take the mrs out for a nice meal this weekend. Sometimes brownie points are better than sitting around waiting for a big share profit :-)
So far so good!
Bit out of my league! I was £6k.
Decided to take a large punt (by my standards at least) and piled on at 7.74 at 16:29. Fingers crossed I’ve for once in my life found the bottom rather than missed a falling knife.
Yep, for once in my life I seem to have got the timing right for taking a little profit. Managed to sell a tranche at 708p earlier this week and have just bought that tranche back again at 505p today. Always nice to have a bit of profit actually in cash at the bank along the way of a long term holding! Sadly, I can give many more examples of getting that timing wrong over the years.
Given the scale of the rise my guess would be some news may have leaked out. No RNS though so just a supposition at this stage.
That's a pretty serious position Dibeg! Good luck to you. I'm only in PRSM for a cost of around £10k. Key lesson I've learned in the last few months is to not be afraid to take a little profit now and again - one can't be a long term holder forever after all. There are clearly some great buying opportunities out there at the moment given the general hammering. The other lesson I need to learn is how to set a stop-loss.
