Sorry if this has already been asked, but how is the merger going to affect the Australian plans?

jd, whats your strategy when the big climb starts? do you start top slicing at set percentages, do you trade the ups and downs, or some other approach? and how do you decide when to bail completely? interested in your views on this, cos what you said about needing even more patience on the way up is so true!

I am happy enough with everything.......seen it all before many times in the last 24 years of investing this way.........anyone who been through 1987 and 2000 years will know what patience really is in the stock market especially AIM stocks........but when they climb they really climb fast....sometimes thats the time to be even more patient as its so easy to sell too soon.

mad,
Totally understand where your coming from
And the last thing you want when you have been been patient for years is for some clown to give you the old "if your not happy sell up" post

[swinging_dick] 14/7/2009 17:08

Don't know what your talking about Mad.
Try being patient for 6 months to a year. Failing that, sell out and take the loss.

[madprofessor44] 14/7/2009 16:42

Short term help:

Swearing 'helps to reduce pain'

Uttering expletives when you hurt yourself is a sensible policy, according to scientists who have shown swearing can help reduce pain. A study by Keele University researchers found volunteers who cursed at will could endure pain nearly 50% longer than civil-tongued peers. They believe swearing helps us downplay being hurt in favour of a more pain-tolerant machismo. The work by Dr Richard Stephens' team appears in the journal NeuroReport.

Dr Stephens, from Keele's school of psychology, came up with the idea for the study after swearing when he accidentally hit his thumb with a hammer as he built a garden shed.

" If they want to use this pain-lessening effect to their advantage they need to do less casual swearing "

He recruited 64 volunteers to take part and each individual was asked to submerge their hand in a tub of freezing water for as long as possible while repeating a swear word of their choice. They were then asked to repeat the experiment, this time using a more commonplace word that they would use to describe a table.

Despite their initial expectations, the researchers found that the volunteers were able to keep their hands plunged in the ice water for a longer period of time when repeating the swear word.

Natural response

On average, the students could tolerate the pain for nearly two minutes when swearing compared with only one minute and 15 seconds when they refrained from using expletives. While it is not clear how or why this link exists, the team believes that the pain-lessening effect occurs because swearing triggers our natural 'fight-or-flight' response.

They suggest that the accelerated heart rates of the volunteers repeating the swear word may indicate an increase in aggression, in a classic fight-or-flight response of downplaying a weakness or threat in order to deal with it.
Dr Stephens said the findings might also explain why the centuries-old practice of cursing developed and still persists today.

But he cautioned: "If they want to use this pain-lessening effect to their advantage they need to do less casual swearing.

"Swearing is emotional language but if you overuse it, it loses its emotional attachment."

Rohan Byrt of the Casual Swearing Appreciation Society said he thought the study was the first time swearing's benefits had been proved.

All sounds very reassuring until you look at the recovery from 8p to 50p in the JLP price pre bid ,and the total collapse of BRR.Yet we are supposed to be equal benificiaries!

[dafrog] 12/7/2009 12:51

Maybe it's because the markets are closed outside working hours?

[shortearedowl] 12/7/2009 11:53

Mirandaj,

Oh that all the information on the bulletin boards could be as helpful and impartially presented. I'm a relative newcomer but hold both BRR and JLP and have been fighting my way to understanding and a realistic perspective through the garbage that is routinely posted , not just on these but all threads. I can't help noticing that the volume of infantile drivel drops noticeably outside working hours suggesting that either they're wasting both ours and their employers time or that Daddy has come home from work and taken them out to play. Rant over and thank you again :)

The RNS's are a little dry [and I read 'em many times, wondering what went wrong, but looking for the good stuff underneath]. Agree that the interviews are helping with the rationale, which needs explaining. Your questions got to the heart of the matter from a shareholders' viewpoint, which was the bit that hadn't come across well to me. Anyway off to enjoy the sun with hope restored.

Thank you Mirandaj for contacting Mr Russell very informative post makes a refreshing change from the constant negative drivel
