One of my colleagues back in pre-digital days came from Ilford (photographic paper not urban conurbation). They knew when something was about to kick off when the MoD started placing large orders!NorthDave said:
There isn't much chat about PHO on here! Am I the only one in it? My values are down about 30% from peak which is a kick in the teeth.
Glad I haven't gone all in! Guess I just have to log out and forget about it for a few years.
Yep, I have some of my SIPP in PHO and its down ....I have a 7-10 year window for my SIPP so will check back later.Glad I haven't gone all in! Guess I just have to log out and forget about it for a few years.

I dipped into PHO at the start and pulled out 3 or 4 months ago at an approx -15% loss. I liked the idea of the portfolio but looked at the individual stocks in it and thought - how would they fare in a recession? Hence cutting my losses.
There's some interesting stocks in it, and I'm looking to dip (or possibly one-off lump) back in if it drops another -20 to -30%

PHO is the ugly kid that no-one wants to talk about - I bought in at the beginning 
I thought I'd bought the dip at the start of April - 5k each into Index 100, PHE, PHO & PHT - they are performing in that order best to worst - admittedly a very short window & hopefully will rebound accordingly

Being a coward after buying in PHO near(ish)beginning , I bailed on PHO and swapped it to IM100 just before close of 21/22 tax year , Quick paper calculation I figure the PHO swap saved me what would have been about 9% drop in that capital.
You're better off but not by a huge amount. On 5k, my PHO position is £189 lower than my IM100 position since the start of April.Carbon Sasquatch said:

Did I miss the post where Adam said how well Asos was doing? It's down 26%, actually make that 27.6%, this morning, since September it's down 73%, which is more than Netflix
PHO on average is down 28% since September.

soddin typical (or perhaps lucky depending on what i might have done otherwise) but just received a chunk of cash (about 50k) the day the rug got pulled out of the markets .....
The cash is ultimately destined for another project but because of assorted delays will now be burning a hole in a bank account until next spring.
what would the wise and sage financial guru's of PH do with the wonga for 6 to 9 months.
i want to stick it somewhere out of the way so i dont spend it on coke and hookers, or just generally squander it, and would like to see some return, but it looks like a trip to the casino is a safer idea than a play on the markets at the moment!
The wife is keen on flipping Hermes Handbags with it, which actually doesn't look as daft an idea as first thought, until i realised that she will not actually want to sell the bloody things ...

I'm one of the OGs too. Smarts a little! Wish I'd just left it all in with my other investments to be honest. I'm just going to ignore it for a while and keep everything crossed I think.Did I miss the post where Adam said how well Asos was doing?

I only put a small amount in - just to test it. One of my better decisions.I only look at the big number now. I seem to have paid for several of these watches over the last few weeks without even asking for one. I wonder when they'll arrive, or if I'll get a refund.
