I having been buying more nanopores on the dip have high hopes for it.

Yes unfortunate timing really as it was at a high Jan 1st then plunged from there again over the last few days, but I think it’s a solid company with a market which is going to explode in the coming decade as cheaper sequencing becomes mainstream (sequencing viral rna has been very useful during the pandemic for example and sequencing the human genome is useful for uncovering links between diseases and genes).
I’m still just in the green on this stock but might buy some more if it keeps dropping.

Is the price for Helium One correct or have I completely misread? The current price is £0.06865, and not £6.85. The number of shares would be well over 2,000 odd?
There will be very few multi baggers this year compared to 2020-2021 unless you pick small cap stocks. It’s funny that people began to think multi baggers were somehow normal. 2020-2021 were strange years - 2022 will be much more volatile!

Look at last years spreadsheet, there weren’t many multibaggers on there either

Ah the old GBP/GBX I’ll stick a /100 next time I’m on. Thanks for spotting it

I don’t think anyone got a bagger last year. You could have smashed it with Ford ($F), yeah that small cap start up.
What’s the definition of a bagger in this thread - 10x?
The clue is in the thread topic

But I am with you, I view it is a x10 thing. I have always thought, but could be completely wrong, that Peter Lynch introduced the term “ten bagger”.

I’ve always thought you just stick any number infront of bagger, but it does raise the question if 10X is a ten bagger, shouldn’t a double be a two bagger?
is a bagger just breaking even? maybe that’s a more realistic goal

In the US a bagger is a person who bags your groceries. LoL.

I’ve just remembered - Peter Lynch borrowed the term from Baseball. Every Base is referred to as a Bag. So a two bagger is when the batsman stops safely at second base.
In the city it is normally used, AFAIK, as Peter Lynch used it in his book and means x10.

I’ve only ever seen a bagger relate to doubling your investment (ie a 100% return means you’ve bagged).
Maybe it’s different over in the US.

Small observation but the amount invested isn’t the same for each share. Could fix using flat 20k invested and calculating fractional shares.
Won’t matter if you’re sorting by percentage obviously but may slightly impact any average weightings you do.
Maybe it will be a question of whether your bag is half full or half empty?

I think the sheet has got GBP and GPX confused for my pick GELN. It closed at £1.40 today, not £140

I think the decimal point in the wrong place on my choice thg it was £2.07 not £207 when we started. I suppose it won’t make any difference when it doubles and then doubles again.

Yes, TRAC should be GBX as well. Currently £0.206.
