Tabby - house edge may be the best part of 1.35% on roulette - but do you know what it is on the best craps bets? (0%) or vegas rules blackjack (dealer stands on soft 17, player can double anything and split any pair) (negative under certain circumstances)? And yes, I do play for fun and for comps - usually flights, shows, meals and hotel rooms - because in vegas they can be the players edge.

You may laugh at the 2% profit here and the 5% profit there - but add them up one day and you'll understand.
I have been adding them uptrouble is you forget to subtract the 2% and 5% losses and it tells me you are down the pan...I uderstand that immediately...

Actually tabby I've only taken a loss on one tranche - it was a small loss on a long and I posted it on here at the time. The other trades have all been profitable - and with each sell and cover I'm building a bigger position and effectively raising my entry price.
This short is proving very profitable.

just shows how desperate the stores are, M&S merly being the visible tip of the iceberg on this BB ..... i took my profit on ASC yesterday (went short WOS again instead), and confess amazement that that price remains as resilient as it has

Cynic.you could call it desperatebut desperate high street conditionscall for desperate measuresI personally like to see a company take the necessary steps to edge rivalsto my knowledge M&S discounting has given them a lead over competitionwhilst I agree it is not ideal.the retailers with scale will be the ones which eventually survive the margin squeezethe SP may well drop and I could not possibly call a bottom but I am in a position to follow it down with a substantially increased position if necessaryI have a good starting point. I take your point

Gausie.it is amazing how you have just made a covering trade minutes after I point out another one of your losersall I ever see from you is a wrong guessbut go ahead tell defunct traders how well you are doingthey might believe you which makes you guilty of misleading people.investors wont be sucked in!

Tabby - that's not covering, it's adding - or increasing. I'll cover part of it in due course below 220, maybe below 210. And it was at the same price as I sold on Thursday. And is already well in profit.
My target price for the whole position is the low 200's - stop loss is 240's. Each new tranche that I sell (ie 'add') and part cover (ie 'reduce') within that channel increases the total position size, banks some profit, and edges the weighted entry price a little closer to 240. It's called 'building a position'. Educate yourself and look it up.
You don't get this trading lark, do you?
