lol !!!

You lost a packet as well mdin79 ?

No need for that language just cause you are a sore loser.

Why have I made a mistake?

We have been mislead. Fact.

The problem now is who would trust this bunch of inept idiots ever again.

They've been given one two many chances IMO.

I take the loss - it's is chickenfeed to me - may be not for others.

You smug git.

Simon
I liked the poem..not seen it before.

[simon gordon] 25/5/2007 17:23

It is not about being smug. I have lost plenty of times in the market. You just have to accept you made the mistake, no one else.

[izzywizzy] 25/5/2007 17:23

simon,

do you get a kick out of slating people for losing money?
good grief, talk about kicking people when they are down.

cool-hand,

You have been shafted by yourself, bigbob's Kenny Rogers metaphor is spot on.

Projecting all your anger onto the Board is futile and shows to others an inability to accept that you made a mistake, if you play the market you've only got yourself to blame. That is the beauty and brutality of the market. It is all your fault, you can't escape that fact.

It is a tough drink to swallow but if one can't take the hit, walk away and give up the gambling.

Kenny's Ditty:

On a warm summers evenin on a train bound for nowhere,
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a starin out the window at the darkness
til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak.

He said, son, Ive made a life out of readin peoples faces,
And knowin what their cards were by the way they held their eyes.
So if you dont mind my sayin, I can see youre out of aces.
For a taste of your whiskey Ill give you some advice.

So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression.
Said, if youre gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when youre sittin at the table.
Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.

Now evry gambler knows that the secret to survivin
Is knowin what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
cause evry hands a winner and evry hands a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.

So when hed finished speakin, he turned back towards the window,
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even.
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when youre sittin at the table.
Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count you r money when youre sittin at the table.
Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.

Will there be an FSA investigation into Board misleading investors ?

[kalmar] 25/5/2007 16:38

what is a login...hear what your saying.. ...but sometimes though it is possible to trade out of a situation.."no one ever made a dime by panicing"...like the last time...banked money by trading the drop...and also got my b/e to 75p...right or wrong ..will run it another day or so...I hold the positions so not a T trade.

[kalmar] 25/5/2007 16:32

Some people relish lingering over a decision, Kalmar.

With negative tangible assets and substantial borrowings what fundamentals do you use?

It was at about this hour of the clock after the first profit warning that the directors purchased. A lot of people remained on board because of that gesture.
I am curious to see whether they do the same today. Somehow I doubt it.(I sold all mine at ten thirty this morning)

[hvs] 25/5/2007 15:59
