Actually scooper72, I've done worse. I once managed to double up my holding of a stock when I'd meant to sell it entirely! It worked out all right in the end, but I now try to read every line of the confirmation screen before pressing 'accept'.

[villarich] 15/8/2018 11:27

Don't try and catch a falling knife. I'm in FDEV and wish I'd waited. Can't understand why the share price has fallen so much after great results.

[scooper72] 15/8/2018 10:44

Interesting comment on FDEV bb:Good entry points were highlighted at 16, 14, 12, 10... I left for KWS a while back now and was looking to re-enter but this share price must be the biggest loser of AIM over the past few months.I only went in to FDEV in last few months, for two small initial amounts - but am down about 20percentAnyone else think 1010p is a good value buy price ? Or could it go much lower

[scooper72] 15/8/2018 09:35

Thanks sf5. It was the KWS stock I had in my ISA so its all good. Haven't don't the maths but bought back 3/4 under the sale price and 1/4 a little above so probably roughly back where I started before the fat finger episode.

[sf5] 15/8/2018 09:32

Stories like this confirm my reluctance to use trading apps on a phone. Anyway, hope it hasn't screwed up your CGT planning - I forget what the rules are on buying back within 30 days of a sale.

[scooper72] 15/8/2018 08:52

Apologies in advance for boring anyone- I ended buying back in 5k at 1800 (oops) and then 15k at 1768

Scooper72 I've made the same mistake previously, it's far too easy to do if you're not entirely focused on the screen, also on HL.Liking the chart action here, looking for 1850 resistance to be tested. Recent trading update good enough to push through to new highs? Not sure but sentiment seems very positive imo dyor ofc.

[aimingupward2] 14/8/2018 21:04

Well, maybe you will, but it’s rather more likely that a bit of ‘penny pinching’ will end up costing you. I wish you good luck though, (deserved after today’s misfortune), and will be interested to hear how you get on.

[aimingupward2] 14/8/2018 18:48

Well, I 'can't believe' that it's possible to do that. It sounds like a real weakness in HL's system. Is there no requirement to press 'confirm' to make a sale?

The end of day uncrossing trade suggests a firm opening tomorrow, so I hope you get in early and soon see yourself back in profit again. Very unfortunate for you, scooper, but theres plenty more left to go for in KWS. Best of luck - and don't make that mistake again. I'm sure you won't.

[scooper72] 14/8/2018 17:53

Can't believe I accidentally sold £22k worth of KWS today at 1778p when I was checking the real sale price on my HL app on my phone!!! Only just realised when I was checking my stocks after work. That will teach me to be more careful. Still have £80k worth left in my portfolio, but Kind of hoping for a bit of a dip in the price early morning so I can buy them back.

[scooper72] 14/8/2018 17:16

Well Cristh, if we are generous enough to give u an extra 24hrs then u weren't too far out. Let's help the buying pressure is sustained as the week continues.

[scooper72] 14/8/2018 13:02

Not as many sell orders on Level 2 as this moves up past 1750p.

[villarich] 14/8/2018 10:06

I'm waiting for his BOO prediction.

[snew] 14/8/2018 09:37

Was a little out of the FEVR share price prediction as well.

[scooper72] 13/8/2018 17:21

Little out today Christh. But at least we saw it finish above its opening price, even if it was a mere 6p

[christh] 13/8/2018 10:03

I have a suspicion that it will run to £18.00-£18.30 today.
It is building up and looking towards the high end of a recovery to under £20 soon

It has achieved £19.80 a couple of weeks ago but seems there is a demand for the shares after the results were announced.

[scooper72] 13/8/2018 09:06

That is another good point - serious cash generation is also something that will keep them in investors good books when the market eventually gets tougher.

[rathean] 13/8/2018 08:52

I like genuine growth stories like KWS, BOO et al. Their pe rating are more of a realistic forecast of future value than say VRS and arguably OPTI after its recent rise. Those high pe stocks without strong cash generation and unicorn valuations will feel the effects of a downturn far more imo.

[gokarna97] 12/8/2018 20:29

Scooper72 ... in chaotic times (i.e. now/soon) I'm backing computer gaming, the ubiquitous rise of AI in all markets (hence am bought in to NVIDIA), and booze which is always good whatever the market (hence am in Diageo) .... who knows really?!!!

[scooper72] 12/8/2018 12:05

Assuming there is a bear market in next 2 -3 years or possibly even sooner, how do people see KWS' valuation responding. It doesn't have much of a dividend, has a high 'growth stock' PE ratio, which will all be held against it in a global sell off. However on the other hand it is probably in a niche that I would imagine is relatively sheltered from a slow down in the world economy. People aren't going to stop playing games. Anyway being reading today in my Sunday Times about different thoughts on how long the bull market has left to go, so trying to work out which industries or companies will hold their value in a down turn and which will falter. Interested to know the thoughts of more experienced investors than me. I've only been the market since 2015/16. Does anyone have any helpful stories from the last crash and how their different stocks faired?

[rivaldo] 12/8/2018 07:46

This should help - there's a big feature in the Mail on the rise of e-gaming, and KWS are tipped as one of the companies to benefit:



"Ford notes that graphics companies are also a key component - USlisted Nvidia, which produces the graphics cards, is worth £121bn. But there are niches where UK companies are making their names.

Keywords Studios is an outsourcing business to help create and support the games. Boss Andrew Day said: 'Events management companies, tournament organisers and venue operators themselves like Madison Square Gardens, and Wembley Arena in London, will certainly benefit.'"

[scooper72] 10/8/2018 12:26

Quite a big block of sell orders on Level 2 at around 1750 mark. I guess that is the little bit of resistance to get over now.

[gokarna97] 10/8/2018 09:59

Yes KWS back on the up! Great business model so always relaxed on this share. Also bought TM17 at 240p because I like the indie pipeline approach to releasing games using TM17 marketing experience etc ... and actually very transparent to investors in terms up upcoming games, release dates etc, plus solid backlog generating revenues ... and very good on twitter. This is a LTH for me. Also in FDEV but I wish they presented a clearer roadmap on future releases .... I understand they may have hands tied by film studios etc on the next franchise but they could still do more to explain the future roadmap in generic terms and be more active promotionally ... hence reduced stake a couple of months back and bought more KWS. Good luck all!

[villarich] 10/8/2018 09:22

Great start to the day
