I should add I have bought more while the price is less than 500 only time will tell if that was a clever move or a huge mistake
Am I being silly but, people keep selling at certain prices, why do they do that why not keep letting it climb

Because no one is buying it at higher prices
Not selling doesnāt necessarily mean the price will rise. High frequency traders are programmed to ride waves and sentiment so there will always be seller and buyer regardless of the price.

Sadly no my average is north of six too
Iām hoping for 10 again

Darktrace is dropping from the FTSE100 and into the FTSE250
Sounds bad as a headline - but the opinion of Darkside at the end of the article is optimistic if anything. Iāve lost about 17% at the moment, but thankfully 1/3 of my shares were when it was below Ā£4 and another 1/3 sub-Ā£5. I get twitchy watching it continue to drop, but I think itās still a solid company in a market thatās only going to grow, so still hoping this is a good long-term hold.

Interesting to see that Darktrace has initiated a buy back programme - so early in its listed life. To be honest am surprised that the company doesnāt have anything better to do with the money.

Here is a mad idea, why donāt you try and make a profit rather than juicing the share price to help the managements compensation.

I have always believed this was a decent long term hold but why they feel the need to do this is beyond me.

Just found this feature and Iām kicking myself after reading the news articles linked above. Iām 20 shares in at Ā£9.62.
All I can do is hold because I refuse to give up.

I bought at Ā£6.90 so down quite a bit
Not too many shares though and my other āsaferā investments are doing well
I am learning all the timeā¦and Dark Trace has taught me a good few lessons
Iāll hang on to them and look out for any good news when (or if) it comes along

Yes - Iāve learnt a lot recently. Iām over 700 shares in at 9 odd so Iāve no choice but to look at the long term. Itās bizarre to see some of the media coverage - just like the share price itās been a roller coaster of highs and lows.

I donāt know if it helps, but Iāve been using DCA as an investment strategy. So instead of buying the stock at once, I mean using all my money, Iām buying that little by little and with a small pre-determined amount, taking advantage of the dips and reducing my average price.
