Out of interest does anyone still have any money in MARL?
I made the call to ride her to the bottom when I realised that it was 50% down on my buy in point and right now it seems an utter bloodbath! Yet look at the news reposts and they are the same vein as this time last year... Maybe that is the problem!
Seems almost odd writing this as they were in a nice little profit for me at the start of the year!

Granted I only stuck a few hundred in as a punt a while back it's now worth about 50p

Luckily I had a little review of things and got out of Tesla when you guys voiced concern a week or so ago!
Glad to help! ...and to the poster who mentioned ASOS - I would say it is definitely a buying opportunity - one of the big boys is going to buy it at some point...it's inevitable IMO.
Is it just me, or are share websites all over the place with pricing?!
I use Barclays to trade and III to just check the price (so I don't have to log in all the time). I am finding that I constantly get a differing story on the price - not just between the 2, but sometimes within the same site. Today, for example, I looked at one holding at about 08:45 and was 34% down according to Barclays, yet I've just looked and I am only 17% down - the price hasn't moved today (according to both sites)?! Similarly, nothing changed yesterday and I was showing as 24% down last night, so why the 10% drop between last night and this morning.
Is this normal?!

Could be the mid price / bid / ask being shown on different sites.I use Barclays to trade and III to just check the price (so I don't have to log in all the time).

Just after 4:30pm for 15 minutes or so once the market closes the prices can go bonkers on some trading sites.
The only price that matters is the quote you get from Barclays when you hit Buy or Sell.
I would use Google Finance if you want reliable realtime pricing btw - not iii.

Likewise. Bought in circa 100 and sold at 220 a few weeks ago, so mustn't grumble.
To buy back in if the dip goes further? Quite tempting. It's either that or Mobileye (MBLY?) who have recently dropped after a very strong post-IPO period. I feel they will be going to 100 especially as their technology becomes more mainstream.
MBLY. 6% up. To buy back in if the dip goes further? Quite tempting. It's either that or Mobileye (MBLY?) who have recently dropped after a very strong post-IPO period. I feel they will be going to 100 especially as their technology becomes more mainstream.
Of course, I chose to buy GPRO. 3% down.
Life never changes!

Bugger GPRO, had quite a few shares sold them at 52 and the thing rocketed to 70 in next to no time.Of course, I chose to buy GPRO. 3% down.

Just my opinion, but it's gone parabolic be careful, when it comes down it's going to come down hard. Have a look at twitter's chart in the few months after it's ipo my feeling is Gopro will do the same. Could be talking absolute rubbish though and gopro will go to 100.
Anyone thinking of buying Alibaba?

I tend to hold on to things for about 12 months+. Both GPRO and MBLY (imho) have huge potential avenues which are still untapped... GoPro have plenty of possible partnerships, the ability to widen their range with different cameras, audio recording etc etc. I understand at the moment they buy in all their electronics. Once they start manufacturing themselves then the profit margin should improve even further.
And as the driverless car stuff develops further, Mobileye seem to be at the forefront of the technology. At present they have a big contract with BMW I believe. I'm still tempted to buy in to MBLY, but would have to sell AAPL to make room for it, which I don't really want to do.

Not convinced about Gopro, at the moment they enjoy a monopoly on the action cam market but it wouldn't take much for Canon/Nikon to take a big slice of the pie if they wanted to.
But they haven't. It's like saying Apple have monopoly on high end phones but Nokia could take a big slice if they wanted to.

I guess it will all hinge on the marketing campaign, but Sony have the resources to do this, I wouldn't bet against them being a major player against GoPro in the coming years.
An interesting discussion. I'll side with Greg here (having invested or not)... Apple haven't ever done anything really revolutionary. There were PC's before the Macintosh. There were mp3 players before the iPod. There were big screen phones before iPhones and there was Napster before iTunes etc etc...
It's not about having a new idea, its about being the visionary company who can spot an opportunity and can make it compelling enough to not only take the existing market share, but increase it.
And GoPro seem to have done just that in this sector.

A more valid comparison is Apple/Samsung 5 years ago, and Samsung have taken a huge chunk of Apple's market.
