    From 1.42 to 1.33?

    TBF to you, Soros got it wrong and he won't have been dabbling.

      I got it right, tidy profit before hyper inflation arrives...

        Had a grand on Theresa May earlier.

        Sold the shares I bought last week at a couple hundred down. Neither shares came back up, even though a massive rally to 6300.


        Frankly I don't want to be holding any shares just at the moment at the higher levels, happy to be a bottom feeder.

          Enough about your love life.

          Two things I have learnt from this past few days, diversify (I am lucky I had a number of solid defensive shares which have picked up well to offset the falls in the banks and house builders), my portfolio is 30 shares (no funds) which I think is a good balance.

          Secondly, ignore short term wins or losses, I could have played with the few K I had in cash, but keep thinking long term, solid dividend payers and ride out the peaks and troughs

          I want my account deleted and all of my information removed, I want to invoke my right to be forgotten.

            More than happy to jump in and out. Seems to do me OK.

            Gut feeling says the market is too high

                  AtW said the same. But I swear he said ARM chairs over the phone.
