@NewUser38991 Like I said I thought the promotion could cause a short/mini crash, that has happened before, for example Aug 17 when Adam Cole announced changes to the proposed PB system, some players literally halved within minutes. Thankfully I wasn't massively invested at the time so I doubled my investment that night.

But agree with your general point, hopefully FI will continue to grow for a long time to come! But that doesn't mean there won't be the odd bump, especially if they don't smarten up how the present new promotions.

Only exceptions would be death or retirement.

Davide Astori for example is back to his IPO price, however IS is 1p. Search either for him or ''not available'' in the squad and you'll see what I mean.

@NewUser156205 define sheep? I acted too quickly to discover the incorrect information.

The original promotion encouraged selling 'old' shares and rebuying after the 20th and was worded in a way I, and others, felt would cause a short term crash. (Admittedly I was wrong) I certainly wouldn't have sold up just for a 2p buzz if I didn't think there would be a crash.

Regards the fees, I would always have had to pay them. At least this way I sold to market and liquefied my portfolio in minutes ;-) and the next time I pay them it will just be me giving them some of their money back!

Hi all,

I'll try to stick to the topic title :-D but a little background summary. Due to 16th / 20th balls up, put all my big boys onto the market (thank f*** I didn't IS) £13.5k of sales later to discover FI's ''f*** up''

Hmmm me thinks, decision time, do I suck it up and buy back the big boys at higher prices or something more drastic... after a fairly sleepless night and 0 response from CS I decided on a compromise. Withdrew my 'net deposit' amount and spent around a day deciding how to spend the 'house money.'

So after 16 months my portfolio is 100% gains - I hope it doesn't come across as Twitteratti style bragging , but this is realistically possible for anyone with patience & willing to put in the time to research & learn.

I'll probably try to break the addiction a little now so apologies in advance if I don't contribute as much to the forum.

@Lukeroro 7p media dividend during / pre-transfer. 8p performance (one double day win - 208pts) 3 other 150+ scores in 2018.

@NewUser150456 no, you need to hold them until the dividend is actually paid.

I think everyone gets caught once dumping a player at midnight after thinking they'll get the dividend. When I did it CS said they'd payout this once. Never tried again.

@Noirx4 Congrats!!

@Misto I disagree, so Neymar is now winning 7p a time but he's proportionally cheaper so the return % is exactly the same. However I think a lot of people will assume that like a cycle the next change would be a dividend increase (whether spread to 1st, 2nd, 3rd or just increasing 1st place payout) so there will be a frenzy to buy Neymar at the cheaper price.

However it's just theory. Anyone on the forum around last time they did split to comment on how the market reacted?

@AT10 sorry for replying to myself, just reread my comment and wanted to point out that I am actually in decent profit despite losing money in every way possible ;-) So if you are just starting out and aren't making the money the twitteratti like to brag about be patient

@NewUser162422 no worries mate, it could happen and if for any reason he did start to win more MB there's no reason he couldn't fly.

I think one fundamental thing to point out is that MB is every day and PB is also very competitive. So if people are chasing dividends (rather than price growth trading) I'd recommend getting MB players first.
