Good morning

Woodford not doing so well

He flogged LLOY.

Beginning to wish I had.

I should go through what he's flogged in detail but it looks to me from a quick scan he's flogged the highly liquid stock he hadn't lost too much on.

Leaving him left with a pile of crap he keeps doubling up on.

I have concluded alot of the stupidity in the market over the last 2 years is down to Woodford. He sucked in a huge amount of PI money and has done a pretty poor job with it. The good stuff he did buy he invested too early and now he's gone and flogged the good stuff.

I know he had BLND as well. The chart is ridiculous. I hadn't bothered to look yet but I bet he's got Aviva.

I can see the redemptions going on and on.

My wife believes in redemption.

That is her excuse for me being still alive.

Morning. Better day hopefully

Good Morning.

I'm not really a follower of AIM stocks too much as I never got the hand of making good money out of them. I have a couple, but picking the good ones out of a sea of often dodgy accounting isn't easy.

It seems to me the fizz is coming off it. I don't know whether this is PI's selling or small cap funds facing withdrawals but some of the moves recently seem pretty vicious.

Which is leading me to think distressed sellers and bargains. I don't think we've hit the bottom yet on AIM, might not get there until Feb/March. Waiting and watching.
