What's the crack with ABML? Any sign they're onto something or just a swing that they might go up again?

Do I give up on EQT and US stocks on Chuck it all on boring recovery stocks? Or grit my teeth and lose £2k per day until it turns around
If you believe in the companies, what they're doing and their fundamentals then hold.I'm largely out of US stuff as I didn't like the complication of the exchange rate which is working against you at present (and for several months past) so you have to hope the company grows at least at a rate that exceeds teh exchange rate movement. If you believe the fundamentals then I'd play the long game as the exchange rate can't go up for ever.

Somehow ended 0.08% up at the end of the day. Probably thanks to my 5000 odd IAG shares.
AMGO decided to go full on meltdown. Still up but effectively £2k down on profits.
Profit isn't profit until you take it but a loss feels like a loss taken or not...AMGO decided to go full on meltdown. Still up but effectively £2k down on profits.
I took some Amigo profits yesterday and some today on the morning bounce from initial drop. Still have 1500 as fomo if it rockets. It would have to go to 5p now for me to lose out overall but im sure plenty of people would be back in before that point anyway.
Watching my Maxeon and Lac get closer and closer to buy in is not nice either. No real sign of it leveling off either but these can rocket 15-20% in a day and I bought them for long term. The lesson learned there needs to be if a stock does 100% rise in a matter of weeks it is not going to do a Tesla and keep going

Was in Persimmon a while ago and bought a couple more on Friday just at close as i assumed they would benefit from the budget.
They have also ammounced the return of their dividend 8% i think so that will be nice.
What other companies are there that should have decent dividends but they havn't returned yet?

Most of the overpriced US tech stocks really get a shake this past week or so.
Peloton now -35% against yr/high (13th Jan). Tempting... I think Peloton is a great company with more upside than downside. IMO.
The vaccine and easing of lockdown works against their business model. On the plus side, a lot of people have already acquired the bikes and locked into the monthly subscription.

I'm not sure if there will be enough growth in future.

What has happened to HCMC??
I was sitting happy with a rather healthy profit and now Im down almost 50% Is it worth averaging down or just leave them to go to dogs?
Quite happy though as Ocugen have gone a little nuts today
It’s screwed, I watched my holding go up 500% and now I’m down 15%. Massive dilution, lack of interest and the next court hearing is later this month I think. 212 have also made it more difficult to trade by setting limits......which is nice of them.I was sitting happy with a rather healthy profit and now Im down almost 50% Is it worth averaging down or just leave them to go to dogs?

Fortunately I was gambling with beer money.
Personally I wouldn’t put another penny in.
The court case could easily stumble on quite a while - that's perfectly normal. The dilution wasn't helpful but the underlying business seems sound enough, so there may be legs in it yet.

Wel, my gamble pot is now down 35%. Too many US stocks. Not enjoying the ride at the moment.
Im not down that much but I'm not far behind you.I'm just praying that some of my gambles limp along for long enough without giving up the ghost completely and get to the stage where I might be able to explain them away as LTHs.

Not quite as wild a gamble as some of my recent stateside punts, I'm probably going to get into 'Renew Holdings' tomorrow.
Headquarters in Leeds, construction services have weathered covid reasonably well and sooner or later Boris will have to remember at least a few of his promises about a 'Northern Powerhouse'
They look good for a 6 to 12 month hold.
