Its the stock market and everything is a risk and you just have to accept and run with what you think is right. We have all had huge losses , sometimes its best to sell out at a total loss, clears the brain and allows you to start again, rather then continue to wait years for something to come good or for your break even. I know it's hard to accept but closure is sometimes better then waiting and not knowing when it will return to your buy in price.

I respect Strauss because he is willing to back his own judgement on cash backed stocks. Not always easy when your entering a lion den of former holders that have been burnt.

I have one company I bough for technical reasons and notice strauss bought for cash reasons, so they both can go hand in hand sometimes. Its just a matter of if and will it happen.

I understand your frustrations Johnny but for what ever reason, the share price her did go up when strauss suggested it as a buy. The reasons do not matter, its when you trade in and out that does.

All the best mate
