Polar Capital (POLR) - Share Chat

Which fund ? They have the polar technology fund already

Not a fund. The company itself.

Just looked them up. They have a lot of assets under management across multiple funds. I already hold their technology fund. I would be very interested to have shares in the holding company.

Yield is sitting at around 7.75% at the moment with good dividend growth.

This is a definite bonus to have in your portfolio.

Does anyone know why this stock is dropping in price so much?

All of their funds are taking a beating due to increase in inflation and overall market wobble.

Means less performance fees and assets under management for them.

ÂŁ11.20 divi for my small holding :slightly_smiling_face:

15% in a day? What’s happening here then?

I don’t know. It has been a race to the bottom for just over a year.

I have a rule on investing, once returns reach 20% I look to sell and invest elsewhere.
With luck I’ll be able to buy some more Phoenix at sub £5. Failing that maybe more Lloyds at sub 50p.

Some of the best minds in this space would disagree with you on this…

“Selling your winners and holding your losers is like cutting the flowers and watering the weeds” is probably one of Peter Lynch’s most famous quotes. It packs a lot of wisdom in a relatively small number of words. It’s so good that even Warren Buffett (Trades, Portfolio) of Berkshire Hathaway Inc (BRK.A, Financial) (BRK.B, Financial) called Lynch to ask if he could use the quote.

It is not what was advocated. There was no mention of holding losers.

If you keep simple rule of waiting until shares are up 20% before selling them then you’ll end up holding all the shares that haven’t gone anywhere and selling the ones that do well. Personally if you were going to follow simple rule like this then I’d do the exact opposite - sell the shares that go down by 20% and reinvest proceeds in the ones that are doing well!

In Gna take the money and run this time.
I’ve decided to prioritise holidays and paying off the mortgage rather than trying to grow the portfolio.

I’m not worried if I miss out on potential profit just don’t fancy making any more big losses.
