Certainly getting the roller coaster treatment this week. Hopefully the announcement will trigger another rebase to the 20’s. the one bit of green in my portfolio today!
Any ideas as to what's causing the sell off today in particular? I know tech stocks are getting hammered globally more generally, but could this also be leaking of info to come in the trading update later this week?
I’m 91% down on a £8500 investment made just before they cancelled the divi. In my mind I’d written the whole lot off when SP hit £1. Just left the runt of the investment there in case of a miracle. Will continue to do so but I mentally block it out when I look at my platform summary screen! At least I have enough winners to offset it. Lesson learned the hard way though - a high yield is often an indicator of trouble ahead!
Good article in The Times today. Should generate some buying next week i suspect.
A concerning trend last week continuing into today. As ever regretting not top slicing at the recent all time high. Hopefully will continue the upward trajectory after this shake out. Perhaps a ripe time to top up.
My big three individual holdings at moment are blue prism burford and nano. Jumped off the wave for the first two a little too early over the last couple of years but am back in both and have done pretty well all said. If nano could just get firing (sustainably) I’ll be a very happy punter . I’m of course trying to forget my basket cases such as Interserve where I learnt the perils of chasing yield the hard way!
This share is single-handedly keeping my overall portfolio value flat this week. Literally every other holding is in the red for the week :( I'm clearly too overweight in Nano, but I'm a longterm believer!
I’m guessing I’ve missed a corporate action announcement or something. Being swamped with work at moment, can anyone let me know high level what’s happened to cause the 33% SP fall today and whether I need to do anything like vote etc?!
Yep. My best performer as well and I didn’t get in until around 550. Regretting taking profits at 1200 but glad I’ve still got a fair wodge invested. Plan to just leave it alone for the next few years now safe in the knowledge that I extracted the original investment so it’s just profits at risk now.
I’m another relatively long term investor since end of 2014. Been averaging down gradually since then such that my current breakeven is around 43p so I’m finally happy this week to be back in the black in my portfolio screen! There were times I was well into 5 figure paper losses (the 18p last year springs to mind) but I’ve held my nerve and in fact topped up a little near those lows . Admittedly took a bit of profit a couple weeks ago off my last tranche buy just for the feel good factor despite still sitting on an overall paper loss at that point. Got 90k shares left now and don’t plan to do anything with them until we get to that 1.69 you’re all talking about!! Either that or bust....
sold out a few weeks ago for a reasonable profit, but have bought back in again on the dip today. Relatively sizeable punt for me at 27000 shares, but happy to leave alone for a few months to see what happens. I agree there is some great long term potential here.
Only 65% underwater on my average price now. I guess it’s a win of sorts given it was over 80% a few days ago!
Just sold 10k shares of my 100k holding, my first ever sale of nano after multiple top ups averaging down . The overall holding is still marginally under water but I made a decent profit today on a LIfO basis. If the SP keeps rising, great as I’m still in heavy. If goes down I’ll buy the 10k back again. Hopefully a win win of sorts!
