Ah, sorry, didn't realise we were including the speculative crap on AIM, that's doubtless taking a pasting.
Wait a minute, where are you "invested" again??? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Was the BBC newsreader that announced it.
I said UK companies. You just call them cr*p. Like how you had to put invested in brackets.
Hows your gold crash doing? That on track like the UK economy?0 -
Awww, poor Graham.
Come on, fess up, how much have you lost today?
Let me guess, your shares speculative gambles fell a lot more than 3.4%...... “The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

I don't know how much I've lost today, I'm too scared to look!
The reason I'm not selling, is A) I can afford not to sell and
I don't want to take the loss, though am fully aware I could end up taking a complete loss.
Why, you going to tell me this was bad planning, and that you knew all along that oil stocks would fall 20% in a day?
May I remind you where you live, and remind you of your personal outlook on oil? If my oil stocks dive, don't take too much pleasure....the company is in your area, and what your house prices rely on....so you have told us so many times when you are overjoyed oil prices are rising.

Are you referring to a rapidly contracting export market?
Not in volume but in value terms.0 -

Ouch.The reason I'm not selling, is A) I can afford not to sell and I don't want to take the loss,
Well, at least you now know how homeowners in those few areas that have seen big falls feel.
though am fully aware I could end up taking a complete loss.
And that's at least one advantage homeowners have.Why, you going to tell me this was bad planning, and that you knew all along that oil stocks would fall 20% in a day?
Nope.
I liquidated almost everything and went into cash a few weeks ago but that's because I'm looking for more houses and want to be ready. Although in hindsight, that looks like remarkably good timing. But it was lucky, I'll give you that.
But I do have to ask, given that you're the king of gloom around here, forever posting the most doom laden articles you can find, why would you have any money sitting in high risk/high volatility AIM shares???May I remind you where you live, and remind you of your personal outlook on oil? If my oil stocks dive, don't take too much pleasure....the company is in your area, and what your house prices rely on....so you have told us so many times when you are overjoyed oil prices are rising.

Heh heh..... Nice of you to care.
But I'm in it for the medium to long term, and there's little prospect of oil falling to and staying at $30 for the next decade, so I reckon I'll be just fine.:D
