PHE
These were tipped a long time back here. I', 25% down at the mo :-( I think they have a good future due to the tie in with Peel but having followed PeteM's successes here anything less than a double bagger within a week is a failure really ! It's boring waiting years for 20%; my gambling streak is only sat'd by that in a day.
Very bad day today for me.

PHE: i was in and out a few times in the early days but currently have a wee holding, topping up occasionally, average around 3p IIRC
like you I believe there's a future for them, there was supposed to be great advances in construction/installation somewhere (location escapes me) but haven't heard anything for a while. Worry is that they aren't the only ones into this procedure and may get beaten to the bigger picture.
ETA: I average 3.56p :-(

Glad I baled on BAB and CPI a month or so ago. So many times I said they can't go any low... then they did... and they still keep going even lower.
To be fair to dear old BAB it had a bit of a renaissance and is still 18% above the doldrums of a month ago 215!Crikey, just checked and I got out at 295p in July, what did you bail out at?
The evils of CV19 and AIM, and here!
Shocking to look at my portfolio now versus June! And maybe a little worrying.
I was in safe recovery stocks - PRU, RDSB, CS, BNP etc, zero AIM and doing very well, since it’s been a slow slide of death (though still up)
But now it’s 80% AIM and dodgy miners and pharma. Shocking dereliction of duty and 100% principle drift.
Such is the enticement of double and triple baggers, which meant something very different in my youth, but might actually be quite appropriate when looking at some of my stocks

Learnt the 'AIM' lesson the hard way with SXX.Shocking to look at my portfolio now versus June! And maybe a little worrying.

Whilst I have maybe 25% of my investment in shares that some have recovered in part, and others not, the balance on my monies was put into technology funds and precious metals, both of which have gone mental.
I am generally of the opinion shares are for not for mere mortals, and funds is where money should be put for decent year on year growth. It isn't that hard to find funds that have done 20% year on year, and in instances a significant amount more. It doesnt take many year of investment for this to result in considerable growth.
AA
If I remember correctly the bidder for AA has to offer sometime next week or pull out. If they bid we may see a small increase in sp. If they pull out the sp will crash as PI like me use the money for something more interesting. I just want it over as it is very dull and not likely to give much return even if they do bid.
At least when that date is behind us I won't get assailed with the 20+ form 8.3/8.5 RNS every day !

Same story here Adam. Except "my safe recovery stocks" proved to be anything but. The AIM nonsense is more exciting but I'm learning that you need to absolutely abandon any expectation of good news as all that happens is the sp rises then drops lower and lower (when the news is bad or never comes) til you're left with a 2% profit instead of the 30% you once had. So now I don't wait for the news, simply take the profit whilst it is there.Shocking to look at my portfolio now versus June! And maybe a little worrying.

Every single aim stock I've been in has spiked then fallen. AMGO, SNG, GGP, SKIN, etc etc. Time to start catching those spikes, banking the profits and moving on / hoping for another drop. I aim to test this theory with the GGP results....
Precisely the same with me and I now have the same plan. MikeStroud said:
About 280 from memory. I have kept the date of its result in my diary as I think it will rise towards those so may dip in again nearer those. Then out before they are announced as good or bad the sp will tank on news and rise on expectation.
i bought in about 420 i think in anticipation of their results then bailed about 280 ish! they're not all muti baggers mike!
