Re: The Official Stocks and Shares ThreadGo on then how much?...... If you've only got £1k to invest, chances are I make more money than youuu(Original post by PrincePauper)
....And that why I make more money than you. Its not about being brave or stupid, its about being smart and maximising profits. I did what I think is best to make me more money.
But hey, if you believe splitting £1000 on 200 companies gets you a result then carry on...
I wouldnt split it between 200 companies, but at least 3. Your gambling, all right with a bit of reason, but hey, im not going to tell you how to invest your cash, just dont come for sympathy when it all goes tits up.
LouisVotton thingy - my last day off was 5 weeks ago tomorrow. Next day off I have booked is 6th Sept (next Sunday) and he whinged like **** about that. Sod him. -
Re: The Official Stocks and Shares ThreadLol the 1k was just an example. Reading your previous posts you just managed to double your money in 1 yr. Im 800% up and thats just from my latest share. You can chat, but at the end of the day 1) yes, do make more money than you 2) im a better investor than you because I get higher returns than you.(Original post by Cj-Tj)

Re: The Official Stocks and Shares ThreadAnyone can take their savings and put it on black...... Just cos you made more money over a short period doesnt make you a good investor, it makes you lucky. And luck doesnt run for ever. Up to now, well done, but I would take some advice from people who know (not me - read books on the subject) before you lose more than you can afford.(Original post by PrincePauper)

Re: The Official Stocks and Shares ThreadLol by the looks of it your the only one that uses luck. I research my stocks and thats why I have always been successful.(Original post by Cj-Tj)
I have a reletivly small amount of money invest in a stock I bought because I liked the company. Didnt do much research, but went with my emotion on this one. Its up about 20% at the moment. Company is called Agriterra (AGTA). It'll go soon.
.
I dont leave it to luck, so stop hating because my % return is higher than yours. Hopefully one day you will be able to match or even do better than me. I wish you the best my friend -
Re: The Official Stocks and Shares ThreadI'll happily invest 5% of my portfolio with luck, but 100% in one stock? No matter how much your sure its a certain bet your still gambling. If you've done well im pleased for you.(Original post by PrincePauper)

An investor is judged on % return. It would seem to appear that im a better investor than you. I didnt go in 100% all at once, but I have been topping up as it has been increasing.
I really dont know what makes you think your better than me.....
Neway I dont have to carry on with this convo. Profit on paper speaks louder than words on tsr..... -
Re: The Official Stocks and Shares ThreadProfit on paper means jack ****. Profit in the bank is the only measure of success. And the way you've invested doesnt matter, the fact you have 100% of your finances in one stock means your over exposed to any fluctuations in adverse market activity. There are always factors outside your control and its these which WILL **** you over at some point. For your sake I hope you have a gentle lesson.(Original post by PrincePauper)

Anyway, whatever. Its your money. Just for gods sake dont tell people its either a successful, long term, or advised way oflosinginvesting their hard earned cash. -
Re: The Official Stocks and Shares ThreadLol your talking complete bull! show me where i advised that. lol you thought you were the top dog of investment but you come on this board and got a slap in the face! lol.(Original post by Cj-Tj)

Mate seriously, stop hating. Try and "double" that money of yours again.
lol, your argument doesnt even stand, all you have been doing is repeating yourself for the last five posts!! lol
stop wasting your time trying to prove your better than me. My tip only has made people 40% minimum while your there struggling with your 20%
By the way, talking about going 100% in a share; how many shares are you invested in?? wasnt it 1? exactly hush.
good night.
ps. please dont reply, i cant be bothered any more. -
Re: The Official Stocks and Shares ThreadIf you only have £1,000 then please don't start by investing in penny shares, as you know the volatility is crazy. You have been following the market, but when you actually have your money in a share it's a very different matter.(Original post by CLEE_F)
Hi. Just read the entire thread.. PXS could be good for a while longer but can't help but think its astonishingly fast price increase has/will end soon. Am liking the suggestions of GKP and particularly WET which shows real potential having researched it slightly. Have just turned 18 and am yet to make my first purchase but have been following the market for a while now and have around £1000 savings to invest, hoping to gamble on a few penny shares soon and look forward to the adrenaline rush and potential returns for future haha. Will definitely follow this thread as it is nice to get the opinions of people in similar situations
Just do something less volatile, leave your money in shares such as RBS or LLOY til around Christmas. Obviously you know to do your own research, but carry on coming into this thread. We have already established a few good traders in here, would be nice to have your input as well.
GKP is an amazing prospect. -
Re: The Official Stocks and Shares Thread
Has anyone got any views on PPA? because there's alot of interest in them on another site. It's a mining company which had real problems before but it seems that the directors have turned things around and are looking to expand. There is a council meeting on the 14th to give PPA the go ahead to reopen a new access road, so shares may rally up until then. The only worrying thing is the high spread (21%).

Re: The Official Stocks and Shares ThreadI'm not sure my nerves can handle a share which is at that price, it's waaay too volatile. I was in them earlier this week (check the first page) and got out with a bit of profit the next morning. Are you still in PXS?(Original post by Milch)

May put a bit into PPA though if I see a chance of a nice profit there

Re: The Official Stocks and Shares ThreadYeah I'm still in PXS and GKP. On Tuesday I'll probably sell my SEY (They look a bit dodgy at the moment) and maybe buy some PPA.(Original post by TheLouisVuittonDon)

Re: The Official Stocks and Shares Thread1) Why did I get a slap in the face? No matter what you say your still a idiot for investing 100% in 1 stock, where is the flaw in that argument? Its not even an argument, more of a fact.(Original post by PrincePauper)

2) I have only 5% of my finances invested at the moment, so yes, only one stock. If it all goes tits up there is still 95% left for me to play with. Thing is, it wont go tits up because I have a trailing stop loss (know what one of those is?) in place to protect me from downwards volatility.
3) I never said I was top dog - but I am pretty good. Maybe because im sensible and take precautions to protect my money. Rather than gamble it.
Your % return doesnt interest me, you've done well and deserve all the money you've made. What im trying to do is educate you a bit before it all ends in tears. But if your too arrogant to listen now you think you know how to cream the markets, fine. The market will win in the end though. -
