Might be returning at much higher prices, those people.

[gbh2] 03/7/2014 13:46

I wonder if folk will dump these next week with a view to returning for the 2015 special dividend!

I could point you to a thread on which several folk would admit they missed out on a fortune because they thought long term was the only way!

I'm more successful the other way around, I.e from trading rather than investing. If you have a decent system for screening potential trades, risk management and entry/exit selection methods then the compounded returns over time can be spectacular. I do invest as well as trade, using capital from trading profits to place in longer term investments. Trading is by far the best bread-winner for me over the short term but hope investing can catch up returns-wise over the long term.

Everyone knows long termers make more money. Trading,whether bull or bear, is more exciting, but then again everyone knows that traders lose the most! And I am speaking from experience. I traded for years and had loads of fun, but make far more dosh investing.

Hope it does for those that continue to hold, I may hold even onto a few K but my plans are ever changing.

Might go through 120 by some margin. That would be nice.

[gbh2] 02/7/2014 14:42

120p will do for me, then it's where to go next :))

It must stop for a breather soon.....nothing goes up in a straight line....mind you I said that about Thomas Cook but it didn't listen :-)

Jugears

Agree to an extent but I think we are at the beginning of house price falls
Big ones so I think now is the time to sell....whereas the time to buy was 2009
Or 2012.....all about timing and spotting risk...if I was up 100-200% on this
Then I would be a sell regardless of anything...

JUGEARS - your post indicates just how different experiences can be at this game.

I held my first ever purchase for five years, bought at 50p/share and at one point the price hit £15 a share, but at that time I didn't pay much attention to the market as I still had 17 years to go to retirement.

When I did notice the price it had fallen back through 500p and eventually ended up at 7p!

A second company I purchased a year later also at 50p/share also did well this I was watching and sold between £9 & £11/share, I retired early and since that time I've played the market for the increase with no fixed period.

Target 20% increase but settle for 5% on the way down, variable Stop loss.

Each to their own....Good Luck

Good post, but there is a time to sell.

I actually made a lot shorting House stocks in Spring 2008.

Very happy to be in on the ride back up too.

Same banks!

Taffie, Explain your comment, As a long term holder I like the real money that you can make if you hang on say 10 years to a share, Having invested for so long I gave up trying to trade years ago, If you want to make real money then just sit tight & wait in 10 years these will be at least 5 or 6 pounds maybe more. Many years ago I bought next shares for 56p each just after George Davis took over & although I kept them for about 5 years I still regret selling for only £7.00 each.Bull & Bear markets will come & Go & along the way there will be some big drops but over all these will rise & £1.20 will be a distant past looking back at the shares I bought in the eighties not one has gone up less than 2000 percent. If I had kept the shares I had bought they would be worth many millions now, But then we live & learn!

[gbh2] 02/7/2014 13:09

Yep, 3rd is payment date, then Update 7th after which it's anyone's guess re likely direction of the share price

[tipjunkie] 02/7/2014 12:51

Taking profits? Only just starting to get going IMO. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show Taffee. I know I will :D
