ftir10,

Agreed, not the most intelligent, dare I say moronic investment strategy, particularly as recession approaches. House builders will be hit hard.

[ftir10] 24/8/2019 11:47

So, let me get this right, regardless of what happens, you simply continue to buy shares in the company you "love" for the long term.

That is an incredibly idle and dangerous investment strategy, not having any concern for future earnings, just waiting for a share to "hopefully recover".

It's called "Lazy Investing" and rarely works, compared to the gains that can be achieved by having a more flexible attitude and approach.

If you had been more flexible, you would have met your 500k share target a long time ago. This is not going to £3 and I think you'll find it's currently in a long down trend.

Yes I did vote to leave,why do I have myself to blame, I am quite happy where the share price is now & never expected it to suddenly get to my target, what fun would that be, I want to accumulate on the way & I cant do that unless they fall occasionally.obviously you are a remainer & can only asumme everything predicted bad will be reality.Imho it is one massive overreaction.,There may be some short term pain but if we stay in the EU we will eventually be dragged down buy them,

"Had it not been for Brexit I think these would be touching £3.00 now."

So in reality, you only have yourself to blame that they're not £3! ;)

"Ftir,Mock me all you like, you have no influence on how I invest & never will, I realise that we are in for a bumpy ride, 90% created by Brexit, But that's what I voted for. Will you be buying when they hit £1 ?, Also I assume you voted to Remain in the EU ? . When I buy shares I make a plan & stick to It, my plan is to hold whatever, nearly ever share I bought has lost money at some point, I am not looking for a quick profit , if tw went back to 37p I will still be holding, They will go back up eventually, My policy is If I don't sell I don't loose. Investing is a bit off a game for me I never Invest what I can't afford to loose, & If I do loose it I have no one to blame but my self,And winning is much better odds than Horses or the lottery."


I looked back - you did.

[wfl1970] 24/8/2019 08:47

Jug, did you vote to leave?

[jugears] 23/8/2019 19:47

Turvart, Certainly a better state than Stobart! Seriously though I agree with your post & Had it not been for Brexit I think these would be touching £3.00 now.

[jugears] 23/8/2019 17:47

What's not good, you mean because it's a bank holiday in this country,nothing abnormal about shares retreating when the markets are going to be shut for a few days & that most traders will.be on holiday until September anyway, Having not dropped as far as I was expecting I suspect that in the next few weeks these will start to go back up & I will have missed my investment opportunity , oh well that's investing!

[ftir10] 23/8/2019 16:36

Oh dear!

Not good.

[tradejunkie2] 23/8/2019 13:15

Good article

WFL- I keep collecting dividends in shares which long term will be worth a lot more than if I had taken them as cash, I invest for the long term, probably my life time. why worry about loosing a few quid here & there so long as I reach my target in the future that's all that matters & don't see any point selling along the way, done that before & missed the chance to get back in so never making that mistake again, then you have to take in to account the tax I would pay on buying & selling, Its just not worth it,You say its to much capital to just watch it disappear? firstly my alleged holding is fully paid for & as I am not selling any I can't have lost anything,If you look outside the box we have Brexit,The summer lull in trading where share prices can be distorted, & a not very well worded trading update from TW that could have been taken as a profit warning So its not surprising there has been a small dip in the share price but it will recover its more a case of when than if.You sound a very new or in experienced investor just the sort the market manipulators look for. I only invest money I do not need & will not need in the future & I only invest in companies I feel comfy with, I have always planned to build a large stake In TW when & as the situation allows & nothing has persuaded me to change my plans over the last ten years since I first bought TW. I have never been under the illusion that TW would reach my target over night or go up in a straight line, Will my predicted 750% profit (Excluding dividends) on my initial investment be worth the long weight, Well yes I think so even if it takes 20 years & certainly a better investment than the property I own & rent out & cheaper to manage.

[wfl1970] 22/8/2019 13:30

Jug, no detail required - my view is opposing to yours that's all.

Just to add though - based on the alleged size of your holding, the capital loss since April is significant. The same happened last year as you have previously pointed out recently. That's too much capital to just watch it disappear in my view.

Sometimes, it's about 'what you do have' rather than 'what you could have'...

[jugears] 22/8/2019 12:59

WFL- Explain to me in detail why you think my 5 year target of £3 is far from realistic.

[gbh2] 22/8/2019 10:21

IF you are holding shares between specials i.e. you're a long term investor then I suppose the annual capital loss maybe of little interest.

As I've mentioned on many an occasion, I am not a long or mid term investor, just here for the game.

[gbh2] 22/8/2019 09:34

imo the main difference is the Traders have little interest in holding TW between special dividends and (of those I'm interested in) TW is the cheapest to trade in and out of.

[riley109] 22/8/2019 09:20

Barrat Developements shares in issue 1 Billion,Taylor Wimpey 3.3Billion [thereabouts,doesn't this have a bearing on the share price.

[m4rtinu] 22/8/2019 09:07

Gbh I often wonder about shares that are very widely held as income shares. Eg TW, Lloy. As pi's can hold these easily through personal online accounts, do mm's try to spook them by overdoing share price movements?

[gbh2] 22/8/2019 08:53

I'm thinking of moving my TW cash into Barratt, their dividends are not as high as TW's but my capital investment in them is up 5% since May first 2018 whereas TW's is down 29%, in fact TW is suffering the worst drop in capital value of the four companies I follow.

[wfl1970] 22/8/2019 08:19

Good luck with your £3.00 Jug, in my view, that is far from realistic...

[up10] 22/8/2019 08:17

As the world slips in to recession, it doesn't look good for the house builders.

[sidarthur2] 22/8/2019 08:08
