    No, it should be about profit, but of course if you have a short term horizon like you (house deposit), then you can't (or shouldn't ) have that money in equities.

    indeed, the little money i have left in shares is dwindling by the minute!
    rolls royce today!

    Today's price doesn't mean that much unless you are either buying or selling now or plan to in the near future.

    didn't i say money looks like the safest bet?

    What good will your paper money be when society falls apart? if you want risk free you should be buying physical metals. :)

    As to what is relevant when looking at share data depends on what you want.

    If you are buying minute to minute is relevant as you need to buy at he right price for you or the best price you can.

    When considering to buy then daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and by-yearly are very relevant.
    I started with nothing and I am proud to say I still have most of it left.

    270p was foxtons 2013 starting share price. And its about 200p now.

    So total loss in over one year is 70p x 282 million = £197,400,000.

    Chicken feed that is.

    I don't think you understand how shares work and how they effect the company in question

    Oops, down 0.2p now. It's a house price Armageddon.

    Sell while you can, just not through Foxtons.
