    Exactly. If you're talking, you're losing.

    Bought a few grand of Barry Callebaut recently... the next day, the eponymous chairman sold almost 50million CHF of his shares.

    I think they have a lot further to fall. Sentiment.
    Results are due out 28th Feb, will be interesting to see where they come out, hoping for a dividend of at least 1.5p to go with the interm .75p giving a 5.1% yield on my average buy price

    Agreed especially with Brexit in the lead, I think commodities/oil/gas are a better bet, I think they're bottoming out.

    I read that when the next crisis hits (any day now), rather than bailing out the banks, the next approach is bail in, which means stealing banking shares and bonds to pay off the debt from investors. Which means all your bank shares become worthless. Next step is taking depositors money (as they did in Greece and Cyprus).

    I'm still buying steadily, global index on a value cost averaging basis, note - not Pound cost average (formula means you buy more if the price drops and less if it rises).
    Couple of investment trusts on automatic monthly payments which takes decision out of the process.
