@Wiillaah why though? I successfully sold both Haland and Havertz to the market yesterday - if your players in demand it should be easy to market sell. If you player isn’t in demand - why are you tying to sell them? If it was such a bad investment that not a single trader will take it off your hands, at a discount, then why should FI buy your share back?

Don’t get this “FI have shafted us” mentality - if you can’t shift a player don’t blame it on FI, it was clearly a bad punt. They have no obligation to clean up your mistakes.

The value of our ports hasn’t changed - it has always been the case that in demand players will be easy to sell to market, and players who aren’t in demand will sit in a queue, until they are. Now however, there’s an additional way to sell, back to another trader, if you really need the money - however this is your choice to sell and accept a loss, much like the old IS.

The only way your port has dropped is if you have no patience, you aren’t prepared to wait in a queue, and you accept a lower bid - which is the same as before covid when you Instant sold, and people still measured they’re ports value on buy price not IS and didn’t factor commission.

The same, but as I hold Pog Sancho and a few other media guys who are rising, it’s understandable.

Not a brag as I realise there are some much bigger fish out there, but I’m £100 off £10k total profit and I’m hoping it’ll reach that milestone this afternoon 😁

I’d throw a party but I’d be the only one in attendance.

I think Rashford looks great at the minute - on a massive dip but mainly due to Uniteds form, he’s had a great game tonight and finally stuck away a penalty as well as a wonderful free kick, nobody will be budging him off set pieces and if man united put a run together I don’t see why he can’t close the huge gap between him and sterling, he’s got mb potential and you’ve got the euros as a cushion next summer as he’s bound to feature. Really reckon he’s a safe bet.

@ScouseSte Don’t be sorry for the negative vibes, it’s hardly a “panic and pull your money out” post, the forum needs healthy discussion!

For me, the fun certainly hasn’t stopped, but these offers are certainly diminishing it. I totally echo some of the other sentiments in this thread, the recent offers have caused me to trade less. The fundamentals of the product are brilliant, I have no problem with offers but the amount of offers and complexity of offers is putting me off.

Every time they say “Big surprise coming! 🚀” and follow it up with another offer that takes ages to digest it creates an anticlimax - and I’m not just hoping for a deposit bonus, it could just as well be positive news on Nasdaq or new territories, but instead it’s this super match day bullshit.

Perhaps us on the forum are the minority and everyone else eats up these crazy offers?

I have to admit like @MrWh1te I too thought this was a wind up.

I've been here a while, the watch list has never ever worked properly (deleting cookies wipes it, no functionality with the app). The forum logging in issue is quite annoying, and the fact the apple app, android app and desktop are all completely different. The ordering of our players in the desktop port is another irritating issue.

Now I was under the impression we were getting a whole overhaul - We have a beta site in development don't we?

I feel to be asked for feedback on something as insignificant as the colour of the buttons is rather insulting when for years we have been giving feedback on the many many issues FI has. It seems non of these issues (some of which I'd thave thought would be quick fixes?) are being prioritised over the colour of the buttons

The constant stream of tech issues that have been listed on here of course will worry users, but what worries me more is that the order or the sell and buy buttons seems to be the big issue?

The point of this thread though was that our ports have dropped overnight - just wanted to point out this is only true is you need the money out so badly you can’t sit in the queue and have to resort to IS, which is the same as it was before covid.

It makes sense to me that higher value, more liquid players, are much less risk because you’ll always find a buyer.

Someone like boyata, despite winning Pb, is surely a risk as he’s fairly unlikely to win it again - so why should FI cover part of that risk?

The beauty of lower value players is that you can get more shares your money, and make a bigger profit if your punt comes off - it’s a bigger risk, because it’ll be harder to find a buyer - but again why should FI cover that risk?

It’s nice to see a positive thread these days. I certainly won’t be investing any more for the time being but I hardly think it’s panic stations.

When all is well everybody talks about being “long term investors” and then pull out with a few weeks of red.

No doubt the market has changed, but I also don’t doubt FI are looking at the discontent very seriously, and I do think they’ll pull something out soon. Whether that’s just news of a future div increase or something more substantial I’m not sure, but they simply won’t allow their socials to be clogged up with negativity for too long, as they’ll fully understand how damaging that’ll be.

As @Ericali said, hold or fold - I’m holding. It might be time for a slightly different strategy, but a time to calmly reassess, rather than lose your marbles and IS the lot.

I especially like the part of this post where you mention Nasdaq! The part about it being good news as well is also spot on.

@Keegans-Bluff well I guess if City are willing to spend a whole 15 kilos to bring the cat to water, I don’t see what chance anyone else has.

They really have to come out and say something soon. I've lost nearly 25% this week, and im very well aware I haven't lost it and those numbers aren't indicative of the true value, but many new users aren't aware and are clearly panicking.

There have been 3 terrible 1 star trustpilot reviews in the last three hours. Twitter is full of people shitting it. Its all well and good saying there's bargains for us, but every user leaving the platform is never putting money in again. Its compounded by the fact theyll tell all their mates never to use the platform.

I dont know why they haven't acted, changed something, or even acknowledged (with the exception of the post sunday crash investigation) but its probably about time something happened. I'm not selling at these crazy low prices but I'm getting worried about their reputation right now.

@Richio I do agree, the silence is painful and the entire time this is happening confidence is being shaken and bad press on twitter and review sites, but we don't know what they're doing scrambling around in the background. I hope theyre trying desperately to find a solution.

@Richio I cant be sure of much at the moment but I'm sure the folk at FI towers don't think its going swimmingly and I'm sure they didn't want this.

@R9inter Pretty sure he's the one doing us from behind even if he's the one in the nurses uniform

This isnt a negative post - there's enough of that already around here - Ive had plenty of very happy moments in my time on the 'dex, before it turned into this mad max style apocalypse, and im sure those good times will come back.

One that stands out for me was waiting for the Rodrygo IPO with a £100 cash balance, eager for him to drop in that sweet sweet window between 10am and 12pm (or 2-4 whatever it was).
Constantly refreshing the last letters of his name at work, and then the mad rush when he appeared and you'd press 'buy max' and then pray to the lord you got him at a good price. Then the rockets, the green flashing lights and his price escalating, what a buzz.

There will be more good times and the index is far from finished, but lets remember a particularly good past moment, anyone got a story of a record dividend haul or a lucky punt coming off?

Still dropping here as well. Terrified my holds dont manage to score a hattrick and it slips more, its increasingly hard to get excited about dividends with the value sliding even if it isn't a true value or whatever.

@SDOAFIT paper losses aren't irrelevant - I understand what you're saying, the profits were never there to begin with, but paper or not evryones posting "losses" on twitter, talking about crashes and how much percent they're down by, and thats not a good look.

I hope all of the prospective new users looking on twitter have the wisdom to see the difference between paper losses and actual ones, but i don't think they will.

Some people have had a bad experience in the past few days and lost a lot of money. I have faith in the platform and they're still paying great dividends, but if other people want to leave poor reviews because they've had a bad time, that's fine. I'm not posting lots of positive reviews just because its panic stations - if anything maybe this will help make FI realise things need to be changed.

Its looking much better but im still down on last night, feels more like a traditional Monday sell off now rather than the end of the world.

I've got a long long way to go though to get back to Thursdays levels though.

People were happy to pick up Pogba at that price and there would have been many more happy to take him up for less. A race to the bottom implies everyone wants out but there were plenty of people making bids.

I think the most damaging thing is the impact on people not yet on FI, who maybe have been thinking about it - seeing these losses posted all over twitter will make them all run for the iulls, and phrases thrown around like 'race to the bottom dont help.
