      Finally, you've found something you're good at! Hold onto that feeling.

        The Centrica trade was I think three, no wait, two executions. Every trade I do is cost average in position. There's no way I'd go all in at one price. That would go against my strategy. If you're buying in a £100k of stock you don't do it in one go.

        You're all so busy looking for holes whilst missing out on some killer returns.

        Evidence would suggest no. Maybe for day traders it's different.

        I think when he says "gaslighting" he's projecting. Everything about him fits the bill, made up narrative he presses on others coupled with copious amounts of lying.

              How's Ababa doing?
              As you’re asking..

              On the day you now claim you bought Pearson, its range was 546-559. Its price right now is 582, you made 6-8% max, congrats.

              If you had chosen Lloyds, you would have made 16%..ok so wrong choice with a coin flip.

              In that same period, I have made more % on my “entire” portfolio than you did on Pearson.

              Anyway, let us know when you sell Pearson.

                You're not very good at this.
                4-6 trades but never equities you think you would remember making that one equity trade.

                Bang to rights Scooter, you did buy Pearson on the 2 October, you then denied it 22nd Oct because it was performing rubbish, and then due to a covid vaccine being announced it popped up today and now you announced the trade.

                Just come clean.

                    w.r.t equities I said you'd be mad to be buying them right now, they are very overbought. Individual stocks however are a different kettle of fish, I know probably most on here invest via a fund within a certain asset class.

                    You find me that post I denied it. Good grief you lot are paranoid. The only reason I know it to be otherwise is because of the share certificate I received in the post from HL recently. I'm not yet finished with the purchase. As I said earlier I cost average in. If you're working with a smaller portfolio you might use a different strategy, but really scale should not be a factor.
