Ones that got away...

Share investing - not for the faint hearted. ....or those who suffer great regret.

When reviewing my share list I spotted one that I originally considered buying in in spring this year...

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2315517

The share in question was Mulberry. Price at the time was £2.00 and is now £5.50!

I didn't buy it! :doh:

Have you any missed opportunities you'd like to share? :rotfl:
I've got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

    I tried buying Beowulf Mining a couple of months ago at around 3.5 for my S&S ISA. It rejected at which point I realised I was being dim as AIM stocks can't be put into an ISA so I never did buy it. Now trading at 10.3

    could have bunged it in your SIPP (i am sure a person of your experience knows that so forgive me - not teaching anyone how to suck eggs)

    The one that didnt get away....

    back in the day, i put a whole allowance of £7k into Framlington NetNet at launch ( i was young then!) - watched it zoom to £21k odd in a year / year and a half. Should have rebalanced it (with hindsight lol) but left it there and watched it crash to about £1.5k-£2k lol:eek:
