troajan.
spelt correctly.

trojan

ok. thanks. will watch very carefully.

tern is very wild today.
was feeling brave so i sold my (sleeping) arb and put the £ into tern. at 3.50pm i will try and sell the tern and buy back the arb....thats the plan...if the numbers add up. or buy more angle....

wyndrum

no expectation at all.
i was buying last week in the 19s - seemed like a fair price. perhaps i should have said...if you are bargain hunting anything under 20p is looking good. the 18 was my mistake - just a bit too casual in the thought process this am!

camkite

thanks for the reply. and yes i'm in. topping up.

rhodi

thank you for taking the time to write such a clear and helpful post.

angle...yes. wish i had bought more.

16p?
if you are bargain hunting i would buy some at 18-19p. and keep some £ back just in case you get a crazy drop - it can happen. but as most posters here are saying the probability is very low.

rns makes no commitments to do anything?
but its enough to drop the price. which is in whose interests?
maybe i watch too many films.

by which i mean 'just topped up'. obviously.

snap

huge morning drop. presumably buying opp (so bought).

Brazil

thanks for the headsup. never a dull moment. half-expecting tern and ANIC to spike tomorrow am. and now arb to plunge. could be an exciting morning.

noob...

nice reply. glad you are up. lets hope we all do well when copl comes back.
(btw tern seems to be kicking off big time).

re tern/40p

thanks all.

(this is really just for D-G. can't be interesting to anyone else - its about me not he1, so look away...)

I started investing before I knew what a tree shake or pump and dump was. I started taking guidance from these bulletin boards before I realised some posters are paid to ramp or de-ramp. And before I heard some AIM-listed companies exist to collect PI's £££ and have no intention of delivering a product. I didn't realise 'famous' tipsters take backhanders and some media about investing is 'pay to play' and the information/interviews are dishonest.

My girlfriend works for a multi-national bank. I learned her bank and others have teams who specialise in sectors like mining, oil etc. Those people have deep backgrounds in sectors, field experience, Phds etc - for mines they fly out to inspect the sites and have personal contacts with Government ministers.

How can I compete with that? I might have a great hunch or search the Internet but I can't match a 'city' team with years of experience and full-time work. If I had a background in finance or expertise in just one sector I could hold my ground. I was told look at Warren Buffet. He said he didn't invest in tech because he didn't understand it. He focused on what he knew - his investing strategy is gambling with loaded dice. If you know everything about a company and sector, you can be confident.

I realised I knew nothing. And yes there are some great people on these boards and we can research as a team - but I am not qualified to verify that data.

If I can't be certain of the fundamentals I can play the price. I find one or two shares I want to be in and keep buying and selling them as they rise and fall. I have a few goals. I want free rides. I want to make £50 a day. If a share is stuck or keeps going down I sell it. I steal from posters I trust - that leads to losses and wins. I don't invest too much - my punts are small but I don't get wiped out. The longer I can stay in the game the more I will learn. I've been in five months. I'm 4-5% up on my initial stake (more if I get lucky with COPL's re-listing). I have 14 shares I am holding for medium term - £200 to £800 in each - I don't like money stuck passively...hoping. Unless its a free ride.

Finally I don't trust myself - I have to keep my greed/fear in check - and double back on certain decisions.

@seagulls fan

the reason it 'worries me' if people take a 10K or so punt...well it doesn't worry me. as you say, everyone is an adult and can make their own decisions. however some of my posts are a bit rampy - because i'm excited about this stock - so i want to make sure i don't lead anyone astray. i never do any research, i just take wild punts so i don't feel qualified to say oh yeah put thousands in this stock...it wouldn't be responsible because i know nothing.

so me saying 10K plus worries me isn't about the value or quality of the investment its just me saying i know f**k all about this. thats why i personally can't invest that much. i envy people like mr buffet who famously knows a lot about the companies he invests in...thats why he can be confident about he's doing. whereas i can't.

riseup

i jumped in at 24.9. no idea what will happen on monday. (perhaps an RNS re KeyScaler is due which will take sp super high...) initially i wanted a quick bump to earn some £ to de-risk my punt on he1. but now i'm beginning to think tern has big potential. so will wait, top slice (take enough to go out for dinner in nice french restaurant). and hold.

agent b

the one who posted is still around. i think there was a rough prediction of 5000% bump. that was enough to get me in. but it worries me (a little) when people are in with 10K of real money. for me 10,000 shares is enough. each to their own though.

i think we just saw a boom. or something like that. ha.
