Even the good times etc
Sold yesterday with a profit expecting a fall back only to see another RNS today and a jump.
bought back in big style, took some small profits on half when it started to fall again but see it's jumped yet again. £700 profit could have been £1400!
Its a dilemma, 55% up now, is this the high water mark? they have settle the outstanding claims, the patent is theirs, but they still have a lot of issues. Sold yesterday with a profit expecting a fall back only to see another RNS today and a jump.

Just bank the profit and move on, or stick and hope this is the beginning ?

I use Trading212 and it’s taken ages to sell any PHE shares in the past. Submit the sell order when it’s high, wait a day in which time the price has dropped again.

When you did sell, did you have any issues getting the order out?

With most AIM stocks inc this one, there is no order book and the vast bulk of the volume goes through market makers (aka RSPs), with comparatively little executed in the auctions - sometimes none at all.I use Trading212 and it’s taken ages to sell any PHE shares in the past.

I'm not a customer of theirs, but from what I recall Trading 212 don't have access to the market makers, in which case they'll be limited to only trying to execute your order in the auctions when liquidity is probably extremely thin.

Certainly the case with IB - AIM stocks trading is limited to SETSqx auctions which are 4 times a day and crap.MMs match off prices of buyers and sellers so you don't seem to ever achieve a price over (selling) or under (buying) your limit

Following PHE, another regular EQT has a pulse it seems.
I got out of both ages ago, probably much higher than were they are now, not that has helped my other disasters
EQT has lost so much value since it was initially a favourite here - no chance of ever breaking even on that POS.I got out of both ages ago, probably much higher than were they are now, not that has helped my other disasters

Bought into Maersk when the bridge in Baltimore disaster happened. Up 35% since, thinking of reducing my stake now.
That bridge had nothing to do with the prices its the ships getting attacked near yemen and more routing round africa. which has caused rates to rise.On a related not from being 70% down at one point im just just lol 12% down on Zim now.

Even the good times are worse!!
The profits made yesterday on PHE, lost double on the National Grid fiasco RI today.
Most annoyed as I was going to take the money (decent profit) and run about 2 days ago but decided to hold for the divi.
What happened with National grid? The profits made yesterday on PHE, lost double on the National Grid fiasco RI today.

I’m not so sure. Granted it was on a downward slide for quite a while before, due to the factors you mentioned, but it did have another significant dip specifically on 26th March before recovering to where it is today (along with other liner stocks). On the flip side my punt on Boeing backfired after more bad news came out. Only a fiver though in trading 212

Only THG in the red now. Must be doing something wrong, aren't they meant to be red on this thread?

Not as volatile as many on this thread...but as risky as I'm happy to go!
Currently buying PRU, RKT and DGE, all the others sold after recent gains but will buy back in when if/when they drop back.
