Another Lo-Q `victim' here -
viewtopic.php?p=82607#p82607In fact, the shares that would have been worth £300k when I posted that would now be worth about £355k! Not bad for a £5k investment.
One lesson I did learn from Lo-Q is that one should not ignore momentum. If you find a share that ticks all the boxes it's not uncommon for others to have found it as well, so that the price has already risen since you first spotted it. I have far too often taken the view that I was too late and that the ship had already sailed, only - as with Lo-Q - to see the price continue to rise into the stratosphere.
Of course the difficulty is identifying those occasions when the ship that's sailed is actually the Titanic ...
