Mine is Ageagle Aeriel bought them in March and seen them quiet low and though I’ll just risk it. Yet I’m down so I’d possibly get more of them since they are even lower.
Superdry
Down 95%
Again superdry down 95%!!
Bought in 2019.
It was a bet that Dunkerton, who had left to make cider and open a restraunt would not get back as CEO (very good cider although an over emphasis that the trees had not been sprayed for over 30years)He got back in by a tiny margin.
Then covid.
£1,000 bet. Nearly all my small purchases end up like this (well not quite as bad!).
A small purchase by me, I should take as warning to myself!
Surely that’s a risky view (in general).
Unless you think they will recover, is that what your research tells you?
There appears to be a view, not just on freetrade that’s it’s a good thing to average down?
I think it’s good thing to average up. The shares are going up buy more.
Good observation and I agree with you mostly. The reason I like dividends is twofold: firstly because it is something measurable and also a good motivation during times when the value of your investments is going down (such as now) and secondly because I unfortunately don’t have much I can contribute towards investments per month, dividends give me a lot more money to invest with than I could with contributions alone.
I accept that total return is the most important and I will most likely prioritise that a much more once I’m able to increase my learning enough to be more competent at judging which stocks are most likely to increase in value within a certain timeframe. I started investing last year and am still very new to it, however it may feel otherwise at times. At least for now I can be happy that I’m a much better dividend and modest growth investor than I was about 16 months ago and that (fingers crossed) my worst mistakes are behind me. I feel I am now able to judge stocks far better using quite a long set of criteria which companies combine stablity, track record and yield so that I can definitely avoid future Evraz failures and most likely Synthomer ones too.
I’m trying to learn from and emulate Warren Buffet as much as possible (a guy who also loves dividends although he doesn’t pay them himself )
