Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostRetail investors seem to be able to sit on the sideline in a bull market for five years, and then as soon as there is the start of a selling rout, THEN decide that's the time to invest their money, each time "calling the bottom" as it falls, dead cat bounce and falls again, then tell everyone that investing in the stock market sucks.

Interesting article on Glencore. Stating that if the slide continues they won't have enough money and will need to raise shares. Setting a 42p target. It's worst hit again todayOriginally posted by mudskipper View PostI just bought 5K's worth. So they're bound to drop further.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

Must admit when I bought wasn't aware of how indebted they were
If they get rid of debt they become profitable even at low commodity prices, then they can shut a mine or two and create a shortage.
Their outlook has definitely improved, it looks like now they can weather out the commodity doldrums, and looks more like a good longterm investment.
If you hold they'll be out with the begging bowl, probably will be a chance to make a quick buck if their issuance is well below market price.I'm alright JackComment
