If any of my poster friends read this they may like to copy it to the Trader's Room.
I have a mate whose wife used to work for TSB and they accumulated many thousands of TSB shares. A huge proportion of their savings is in them. He didn't take my advice to sell a load a couple of years ago when I sold most of my shares - he didn't believe they could possibly fall much. So he watched them drop from 6 to today's level, without selling ANY.
He even bought some more ten days ago when they went back up to 1 (I thought of ringing him to suggest he sell some at 1 but knew he wouldn't, so I didn't).
I have tried to console him by telling him that most people would have (and indeed have) done the same. But I know he will do the same next time. Why do people buy shares if they don't intend to make a profit on them by selling them?

Anyway, just sold some of my ASOS at 26% profit. Think they will probably keep rising, but I have learned my lesson not to be greedy. Always leave some for the next person!
