So how much have you actually invested to get a 5k return on a 4% rise?

Maths ain't my strong point but wouldn't you have had to have £100k in shares to see that sort of return?

MFW said in post #42 (24 October) he bought extra Tesco. Check the price on that date, check today's price. It's not that difficult, shorty.

But I'm sure MFW will be along soon to give you another drubbing. :rotfl:

I invested £70362 in tesco on 24th October and cashed out yesterday morning at £78787.24, and was kicking myself because they closed 2% higher yesterday. I'm happy today because they have dropped a lot alongside Sainsburys.

Oh, I expected more from you purch, but here is a post to someone else who called me a liar. He didn't apologise either, as I expect you won't.

Well I was actually taking to generali, but you had to jump in...

Interestingly enough, I invested in Royal Mail when they were first offered to the public and made a tidy profit, but that's a different story.

Here is a screenshot of my dealing account. Next time I invest should I clear it with you first?

This is the first investment I made in tesco, I cashed out a couple of days after buying them, then bought back in once the shares had fallen back:




I sold 78k of shares yesterday and will buy back in once I believe the shares have bottomed out again.

Edit: looking at tesco shares right now, they have dropped from 195 to 188 (-7p change / -3.62% drop) and seem to be bottoming out. I will see how things look this afternoon and buy back in. Hopefully they will fall back a bit more and become even bigger bargains

Why do you feel the need to prove anything to anonymous posters on a internet forum?

Because I don't like being called a liar.

Why do you feel the need to pour out your emotional angst to anonymous posters on an internet forum about your decision to buy a BTL, even though you are strongly opposed to this business model?

But you are not being called a liar, an anonymous username is.

You didn't answer the question about why you post on here about your BTL angst.

It was just somewhere to have a moan.
May all be lies anyway, why should I care if anyone (who does not know me and I don't know them) believes me or not?
Just wondering really.

Same here, it's a place to discuss various financial strategies and get a sounding from some of the more reasonable posters like generali. I've tweaked my financial plans a few times based on feedback from posters on here.

Unfortunately there are those who are here just to cause trouble and disrupt threads (in this case by calling me a liar/fantasist), so that every time you try and discuss anything, they troll up and ruin the thread. It's therefore quite handy to shut them up by posting a quick screenshot that takes 2 mins to produce and then they crawl back under their stones and we can carry on with serious discussions.

It's amusing though how one can be wrong in someone's eyes, no matter what you do. If I ignore the trolls, then I'm 'proved' to be a liar. If I take 2 mins to prove them wrong then I'm, 'pandering' to anonymous forum users. :rotfl:

I do have an enormous todger though.
