Mpac Share Discussion Threads

Hi Arregius,
I'm an amateur investor, I don't post much... but your hesitancy in pressing the buy button caught my attention.
I have a small holding in MPAC.

My approach to ask myself some questions
Am I comfortable with the investment amount if the share goes wrong? After all it is a risk.

I play poker in my spare time and this has helped my in my approach to investing in shares.
Most people view poker as a gamble, but I'd view it more about making the best decisions with incomplete information.

I look at investing in shares in a similar way.
Yes do the background research. You will never have all the information. At some point you need to make a call.
Some calls will go wrong and not necessarily because your background research was not good enough.
Future unforseen events like covid-19 could have a big impact on your investment.

As long as I'm getting the majority of my calls right then I'm happy.

Far better than the opposite problem Dave of hitting the buy button too often. A little hesitation in these markets is not a bad thing. But if your watch list is doing so well you will feel more confident dipping a toe in!

Arregius Thanks, it's hitting that buy button in the first instance that's become the issue........perhaps little at a time could help. Like a junkie going cold turkey!.

Hi shaker,My SIPP is managed by a well known fund management company, and I have a separate fund portfolio that I manage. It's buying equities where I'm struggling, never used to be a problem though.Probably just a self confidence thing and I feel slightly embarrassed about mentioning it, not the done thing I suppose to admit your struggling.That said my watchlist is doing phenomenally well, lol.Sorry for off topic.

Buy and forget. This is a longterm hold as all you might wanna buy. #buffetology

[shaker44] 09/10/2020 11:28

Maybe you would feel happier and sleep easier if you select a good fund? Spread of risk and experts pressing the buy and sell buttons for you.
Just a thought

Can I ask those more experienced, CT if okay, how can I stop pontificating when making that first buy?!.I do loads of research, think I have good instincts, am a quick learner etc., but recently when it comes time to press that buy button I hesitate, even though I know it's value, every single time and it's starting to become annoying as I see profits drift away time and time again.It may be I'm more aware of how the market can 'crash' and how volatile it's become, dont know.#Fedup.com

Memo to oneself: don't sit on hands waiting to save a few pence, just buy!.That said the graph says a pullback is due! (he hopes once again, no offence holders, I'm positive here.....just tight!).Stay safe and prosperous:)

They will regret it but everyone has their own reasons.

A few sellers leaving the party early but the chart looks good to go to around the 360-365 level on this leg.

[castleford tiger] 30/9/2020 12:19

[mfhmfh] 30/9/2020 11:44

[bigbigdave] 28/9/2020 10:18

Eh up, seller clearing here?

[basem1] 25/9/2020 12:28

Finally the 297.7 area has cleared Now asking 302 for as little as 1000 shares. A delayed large buy may appear ?

Apologies, paywall protected and not too certain with copyright that I can copy and paste the entire article.The author did flag that the pension was a primary risk and also Covid and whether or not they can sustain margins in the sector they operate.He concluded (only an extract):'From what I can see, MPAC is modestly valued despite remaining profitable and cash generative through a challenging period.The change in strategy in 2017 and a couple of sensible acquisitions since make it look interesting, with an increasing order book hinting at good growth prospects going forward.'
