Well I did add a smiley!

As a long-term holder it really doesn't bother me. Quite happy to pick up a few cheap shares when they lower the platform, so to speak. Sorry about your loss. It was just poetic justice that it happened so soon after your premature boast at 1 above. No offence meant. :-)

Aaw, c'mon. With any stock that's worthy of longterm investment, shorters whose antics help to deepen the dips are doing the buyers a favour. Like those buses that lower the entrance platform at each stop, to let people on at a more favourable level ;-)

PS: I am always relaxed towards long players or shorters, being both myself. They each do each other favours, sometimes without realising ;-)

I am normally quiite relaxed in my attitude towards shorters - especially if I am taking the longer view. As it happens this is one of those shares that I drip feed savings into on a monthly basis via their nil charge saving plan. However, I have to admit to gritting my teeth a bit at post 1 above. But post number 2 has added a little cheer. Occasionally, there is some justice in this world! :-))

Did I cover position when the price levelled out on volume? Nope.
Did I do so when it showed first signs of turning upwards? Nope.
Did I wait until news broke confirming a takeover and price was already rising?
Yep :-(

That's not the way to do it. Should have stuck to my rules, one of which ought to be don't hold leveraged positions while distracted by Xmas preps.

I hate Xmas. Grrrr!

Been short since £5. Shorted more today. Today's fall takes market cap below £100m.
