Having been successfully investing in shares for 18 years, there is only ONE bottom line, "did you make money". People can make up all the hard luck stories they want...."got in to late"........"got out to early" etc, etc. What is the point if Mwana, makes great progress next year, and the share price is still around 2p.....and the following year, even greater progress, and the share price is still around 2p ....you have just wasted 2 years of your life, and tied up finances. Say, in 2003 when Mwana, started, and you invested £9500, that's 10,000 @ buy price of 95p....if you follow what I do, stop loss in at 80p......I would have lost £1500.....if you make the "mug punter's mistake" that you would do.... you are still holding the shares, 11 years later, with a paper loss of £9265.....because you believe, in your posts. I would have been out, say, in 4mths, but then had over 10 years, to invest elsewhere. The share prices of the majority of companies, reflects the progress being made, year in, year out.......that's, why people invest in growth companies, their share price moves up faster. It must always be about making money.......NO excuses. Please, there is no need for anyone here, to consider my posts, from what I have discovered, in the very, very, short time I have owned this stock.....I'm already looking for the exit.
