Go'an, fill yer boots. I dare you.
..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.Comment

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.Comment

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.Last edited by BABABlackSheep; 5 October 2020, 16:24.Comment

Never do I try to time the market. With Lloyds I'm waiting for confirmation of an uptrend. This is managing risk."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Originally posted by Whorty View PostThis, 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.
