Tabby

I'm not here to educate you - though heavens knows you need it. In spades. If you want to come on a course then let me know and I'll try to fit you in next time I run one. ;-)

The aim is to get out with either small losses or large profits. That's what proper traders do. Your strategy for both MDX and MKS (being, so far as I'm aware, your only declared positions), seems to demonstrate you're aiming to do things the other way around. You hold on for grim death, happy to risk a 100% loss for maybe a 10% gain in many years time.

I'm not knocking buy and hold as a strategy. If done properly it works well - but only when you hold the ones that are going up and dump the likes of MDX and similar crap. You, I'm afraid, don't have a clue how to buy and hold sensibly.

You well know that you should have let your MDX go well before 35p. And deep inside, on MDX, you know you've done your dough. Maybe in many years you might get some of your money back - but the wiser players such as Dil and Al are laughing at you and are possibly even thinking of buying in to MDX around the 5p - 10p levels. On the risk/reward calculation they run the same risk as you of losing the lot - but simple maths shows that they have a far far better chance of doubling or trebling their money than you have of even retrieving yours.

You make a lot of noise, Tabby, and you're and excellent example to any novice players who might be looking in of how not to do it. You sir are the Mr Bean of the investing world.

Sorry Gausie thats a bit unfair ....






















on Mr Bean.

Gausie.have you been to Cannes?.I doubt itany comments on your La Croisette embarrassing statement?.still no answer!

Gausie it is a barefaced liehow can anyone reading your comments on here believe anything you write!
---------------------------------------------------------
Gausiebouncy has to supplement his incomeand he done his bollocks on Banksgive that bit of advice the swerve Im afraidDil is Mr. Safeshrewd enoughI get on with him but another swerve
You come out with almost as silly a statement as La Croisette with telling me I should have sold at 35pof course hindsight is easy but I in fact hedged several of my holdings with a position on the ftse 5500 down to 4550.and posted well before the eventI much more than coveredand I am sure you know my break even figure has been greatly reduced on mdx
Traders are like politicians.fu*king liarsand fu*king cheats.and that is why there are so many on the doleand going up by the day!
I have no bad feeling towards you its all a wind up I just think some of the things you write dont stack up!

I just think some of the things you write dont stack up!

You don't think - you just post.

You suggested I was foolish to exit MKS at 234. You had great confidence in your 240 position (less staff discounts)

I bought back at various prices averaging just under 204 - you suggested I was foolish to reduce @200.

I now have a bigger position than the one I closed at 234, although I'm now in at 204, in profit, and have already banked a reasonable profit. It was all posted here as it unfolded. And yet even now you suggest it's nonsense.

Time at last for you to think. Who's the fool, Beanie?

GausieI believe you started trading in 1997..I started just before.I have played around for many years and got hit pretty hard in May 2000 on the NASDAQmy grammar may not be perfectafter all a kind hearted bookie aint gonna speak properbut I am shit hot on percentages I could make a book on any event you could name and that includes share pricesI recouped with interest in a very short space of time and do very well from my office indoorsI work only to help a friend out outside my investmentsI no need!let us just leave it as a Mexican standoff.my wife works only because she loves M&Sinstead of calling me names.answer the Cannes questionand gain that respect back.even if it means eating humble pie?

The shops on La Croisette is also my mistake. The end of la Croisette that has the shops, I had aways assumed was part of the promenade that runs around the port, but it is isn't. The bulk of La Croisette is as Gausie says just Hotels and apartment blocks with I seem to remember, a small art gallery (which was showing Gilles Villeneuve memorabilia the last time I was there). I have certainly stayed in Cannes plenty of times. The last time was at the Martinez for a few days then at Hotel Du Cap on Cap d'Antibes (or actually at Eden Roc at the bottom of the garden) which is far nicer than anything in Cannes.

I am sure Gausie has been trading way before 1997. I have been trading since around 1974, although I don't at present.

Haystack you are a man.god bless you for being honest!

Where's Cannes ?

At the end of your handes.

That's Tinnes :-)

Haystack I know how you made the mistakeit is easily donebut the shops on La Croisette are the most famous in Cannesif Gausie had come clean like yourself I would not have made a big deal out of it.The truth is he is so keen to trip me up he keeps falling over himself.by the way Gausiethe French love Mr. Bean.

Tabasco you are a clown....god help you for just being!

Reduced 212.75 - only a swing; banked a bit more profit and will increase again if we fall below 210.

Is that your best answer for being wrong.piss poor effort!

Tabby - I'm sorry you find trading less interesting than shopping.

I am ignoring your question because each time you ask it you're making a bigger fool of yourself. Your original statement was about shopping on Cannes Front. There are no shops on Cannes Front.

You're now talking about shops behind the marina. Maybe that's errr.. the front um.. you, um.. originally err meant? kind of? sort of? Twat!

Tabasco
I must say that I would back Gausie's judgement over yours any day. I have met Gausie quite a few times over the years and he has a volatile temprament to say the least. I wouldn't take his wind-ups and crisitcisms too seriously. I would not ignore them either as the criticisms would be mainly true.

He knows uck all bout sport though tabby.

Fabulous Elvis lookalike though ;)

A few more gone @ 214.75 - tidy profit.
