@TeamGB purring to another win without the need of assists or goals.

what the hell is happening with Neymar tonight?

+£700 mid price setting today,is this the lift off 🧑🏻‍🚀?

@TeamGB thank you. I’d read that just before but wanted to ask if in practice anyone had seen that eventuality applied. Wary of stories - true or not - of folk who’d sold before dividend payments that morning to reflect previous day’s trading etc. Appreciate the reply nonetheless!

@Stevo no it’s never been in force.

@NewUser186178 said in What FI looks like when I remove the emotion: @Decafruby6 Well there you go, i finally found your level. Few tough swear words and you’re Jack the Lad in front of all your mates aren’t you. Bye The thread was perfectly cordial until you arrived

@NewUser681943 said in Alli and Bale: @Deano4dawin not many just the 200 but I'm well in profit and still learning! Got Ali at about 80p from memory to. That's not come off yet but he'll come again either once Mourinho leaves or elsewhere. After the initial waste on overpriced players I spent a while trying to buy sub £1 players instead. Form is temporary, class is permanent was the case with Bale. Alli isn't in the same league as Bale in regards to Media but his PB potential is as good if not better. Alli will come good

Updated figures due soon?? Be interesting to see how many new shares have been issued during February when the market has fallen.

Yep all the time. I think my biggest hit was before the withdrawal of IS and it was on Daniel James, bought at the peak and sold at a loss to put the money into players I felt had better chances of growth or returning dividends. Sometimes you just have to accept you made a bad buy, yes the player might eventually recover and let you break even, but in the meantime, if you'd spent that money elsewhere you might have returned double or more.

@NewUser469373 You lucky person, I have 250 holds in him. Yeah, hope it does survive, it’s always been a bit of fun for me. Good luck

@Rocket-Ronnie I bought him at bang on £1 so not too bad but always a pain when you see they've dropped from a price you thought was a decent amount to pay 😄

@o_O isnt there something ironic about you calling the people you lost bets to "stupid"?

@FairlyNewUser yeah some of my awful buys have gave divs lately, varane and badiashile so there’s always hope for dividends

FOOTIE : 168

Is this massive increase in average all offers a sign to come with actual portfolio valuations?

@GeoffS said in Helping hand and idea for reinvestment?: @NewUser49907 If you buy 50 of player A at £5 and 50 at £3 and then sell at £4 then you have lost £1 per player on the first 50 and gained £1 per player on the second 50. If you buy 50 of player A at £5 and 50 of player B at £3 and then sell Player A at £4 and Player B at £5 then you've still lost £1 per player on the first 50 but you've gained £2 per player on the second 50. You are therefore better off by £50 then you would have been in scenario 1. You should therefore only buy player A ahead of player B if you think he is going to do better than player B, not because it brings your average cost down. I'm afraid that bringing down the average cost and thereby assuming the first 50 you've purchased are somehow now better value is a complete fallacy. The money you've already spent is a sunk cost and nothing you can do can change that. Yep. Buying players to reduce their average cost is the FI equivalent of chasing losses. Its making imperfect choices because you don't want to lose money on the player. Every buy is independent. If you make a lesser buy to make your screen look nicer then your just conning yourself. You should only buy more Havertz if you think he is the best value on the index right now.

it's bad isn't it. people just wanna buy players at the cheapest price possible and order books allows that to happen. Then again, what can we do? or what can FI do? remove OBs? go back to IS? Think we all know by now that reverting IS is highly unlikely because of FI's liability. So are we stuck at a deadlock situation with this product? FI needs a sustainable platform but yet the traders are not happy so less trading volume. Something has to give I guess or FI needs new playable features which looks like what they've been doing ever since (with squad tournaments, MDE etc).

Not that I think it'll happen - but now that FI are issuing new shares at any price, it should be easier to provide some version of Instant Sell. Without the restriction of only selling at peak prices FI can set a margin between their buy/sell prices that they couldn't before. Unlikely but still makes more sense than FI wanting to be a market maker only on one side of the market.
