      ..and there lies the dichotomy.

      Not saying anyone should buy the stock. I’m interested because my core holding has both Alibaba and Ant Group in its portfolio.

      I only look at the top 5 holdings or so, but I’m keen to keep a breast of my own investments. Would be stupid not to imo.

        It’s back under 27p now.

        You could have bought it at 25.98(ish) pence the day you said you were going to buy it, but then you had a limit buy at 25p.

        So you don’t actually know what’s going to happen, but imo there’s a good chance you’ll get your 25p one day.

        In the meanwhile, instead of timing the market, I just stayed invested and trundled another 1.2% growth into my portfolio today.

          This, and your last post, are where you let yourself down (well, that and the graphs). Very emotional. You seem to get triggered when someone else comes up with an idea.

          I mean, come on, "I dare you" - really?!? If you are trying to convince people to listen to your investment advice then maybe be a little bit more mature

              Last 3 trading days..

              13.33%
              27.06%
              8.33%

              Nice. I hope to god you’re joking about retirement.

              Been there, done that when I was younger and reckless. Too many sharks swim in those waters.

              You think you have a sound investment and then find out they have cooked the books due to lack of regulations.

              Also, never forget, that in order to sell a stock, you need to have a buyer, so stop-losses won’t help you if they go into free fall which is what might happen if the buyer they have drops out and they run out of money and in comes a rights issue so they can keep operating.

                Thanks for your note of concern - I am joking about retirement "Barry the truck driver" won't let me retire, I'll die in front of a keyboard.

                I'm not investing, I'm riding the waves of volatility.

                  I don't day trade. In fact I'm a very poor swing trader.

                  Never do I try to time the market. With Lloyds I'm waiting for confirmation of an uptrend. This is managing risk.

                      Why do you keep lying about this, do you think if you make this fictitious claim enough it will stick?
