Sure, but selling in the hope of buying back cheaper can also go wrong. When I first started investing I was surprised/shocked at how violent the market volatility can be on an individual stock ... on both the upside and the downside. You're in despair one minute, and a couple of months later you're elated ... the challenge is more psychological than intellectual.

alex all true, but a lot of ifs in there and it could get worse before it gets betteri think the latter has the edge just now

I think selling makes sense if you believe that your company is permanently damaged, and will never recover. But if you are looking at a market sell off over a transitory issue like Covid-19 I can't see the logic? If ITV were a private company, I doubt anyone would be contemplating hawking their shares during a period of weakness. People too easily succumb to the charms of Benjamin Graham's Mr Market.Should the Brexit issue be resolved in the next month, and the case rates and deaths turn out to be much lower than predicted, and there is any positive news on vaccine trials ... the market sell off will pivot to buy in.

Noone is ever lucky enough to buy at the bottom of the market!

[stansmith3] 22/9/2020 09:05

[smartie6] 22/9/2020 09:03

Well nothing stopping you to sell?Markets run on emotion. And we all know what the most powerful emotion is...

im not so sure, looks like covid will be game of whackamole lockdown and itv has been designated a whipping boy....

[hamhamham1] 22/9/2020 08:54

This market is irrational, so don't let it get to you.
Am just buying companies that I think will get through and are at a cheap price.
The rest is just noise for now :)

[stansmith3] 22/9/2020 08:39

[hamhamham1] 22/9/2020 08:37

Oi Stan, leave the banks alone! :)

I just dont understand why UK old guffer investors are such whimps and will sell everything as soon as they blow their nose.

Would not be surprised to find out that those with no confidence are brexiteer voters and the buyers remainers.

lol...

[stansmith3] 22/9/2020 08:30
