Yeah, i've tried that and end up buying at the top!

Long term, VW will be fine. Kicking myself at not getting BMW when the rumour was out there and they dived on the VW sentiment - (although not practically possible for me to get involved).

Also looking at USO - United States Oil Fund. Seems like a tracker of sorts for the WTI crude price...

Will be watching it, nice stock code. If it goes the way most ipo's have it will rocket up and then proceed to half over the next 6 months.

If you're right about the price halving or close I will be in. Don't fancy it at the current price tho.

Did the same if I recall, usual pattern is move higher then get chopped in half or more and then proceed to take out the Ipo price eventually. Well the ones I was thinking of were fb, gpro, twtr don't think Baba has got back above ipo yet.
Grabbed some ferrari @ 55.50 don't think I'll be in it for too long.

I was thinking about Ferrari too.

I think immediate term there will be some upside. But with all the China talk (and that now being a large market for Ferrari) I'm not convinced of the 1-2 year hold. Will wait and see what happens.

Citron back at it, must be nice to have the power to short a stock put out a tweet then see the stock move down 28%. Their latest hit Vrx Valeant Pharmaceuticals.

With Ferrari no idea on the long term but unless your trading it probably not a good idea to buy above the ipo price of $52

Just thinking ahead to the Lloyds share sale to the public, with the additional share allowance if you hold them for a year...

Presumably there's going to be a lot of people that hold the shares for a year, until they get the bonus, and then a lot will sell at the same time.
I know things are priced in to an extent, but sounds like it would be smart to go short on Lloyds, a week or so before the anniversary of the share sale, as the market is likely to be flooded by sellers, driving the price down?

laugh Second time they made profit don't you know.

We can all joke and laugh but fact is those that have held long term have done very well. Reiterates the point solely looking at p/e ratios is pointless.

Same happened with TSB but IIRC the free issues didn't do much to the price (i.e. was priced in anyway).
