@TraderJ had 5400 at one point. Licensed to print money! Over £5,000 in dividends alone since January - and it will continue. Mark my words.

Once in a while I will say something which I regret, and after listening to the FI podcast I feel I owe an apology to Kim Williams. I made some unfounded and derogatory statements about her and thought she was a simple plant to attract more users. She is not. She knows her footie and sounds like a good person overall. I was also very pleased to hear she shares my view on Pele being the biggest fraud in football history! All the best to you Kim 👍🏼 🥂

@Archer22 said in Bruno Fernandes:

The fall is quick it is making me suspicious as Bruno has sunk and risen before.

Tin foil hat time, but one of the reasons I’m not getting overly agitated by the colossal drop is that I believe the price is being driven downward to allow the market makers to buy in at the lowest possible prices. The REAL market makers have NOT come in yet - wake up! They will be on board just a few days before Nasdaq is implemented. And, of course they will have the ‘heads up’ before any of us.

I was having a conversation with a multimillionaire the other evening and asking him his thoughts why @Black-Wolf @Ericali @johnboywalker @Valhalla @Advinculas-Index @MickTurbo were so calm and he answered...’simple, they understand the platform and have patience..you on the other hand, are an impatient bastard!’ Charming 😂

Have withdrawn a further £3,914.38 this evening. Was going to top up my largest holds, but I’d rather put it safety back in my pocket. The trust in the platform is at an all time low and thus, prices will keep dropping. So happy to have sold my Pogba’s today as there is, once again, no instant sell for him. I also agree with @Dan-The-Man the ‘3 year rule is a trap’. When you can, sell and reassess when Football index decide to stop moving goal posts.

The old system was better by a country mile for us all.

The implementation of order books could take more than 6 months to stabilise the market. People on here have a crazy notion that it will stabilise almost immediately, it won’t. Neymar would have easily been £12-£14 by now and Bruno Fernandes would have been £13-£14 by now also had FI kept the old system.

Please don’t say the usual ‘when the fun stops, stop’. We made a ‘bet’, assessed the risks and made a decision. Football index decided, and continue to decide to change the rules. Don’t fall for the ‘it’s a 3 year bet’ crap that FI keep feeding us, look at Pogba, Had you held a year ago and continued to hold, you would have lost BIG time.

Had FI kept the old system, I would have invested a further £65,000. I’m not the only one who would have done the same.

Who preferred the index when there were no order books, matching engine, when FI honours the Instant sell and when the market was more stable...yes, sell queues were long, but I would rather have been patient and sell months later than sell in this bloodbath.

The old system was easy for everyone. The simplicity was perfect and new users didn’t need a crazy, in-depth knowledge of how Nasdaq, order books and how the stock markets work.

What’s stopping a competitor entering and creating a similar product to the original product we all signed up for?

What also worries me is the alarming rate at which FI continues to change our original ‘bet’. This continual change is not good and force the casual user (and lets face it, there are 10000’s of them) to simply leave at a loss and leave negative reviews all over the internet.

Not the best of days for me so far. I’m miffed at FI and I’m also miffed at Louis Hamilton messing up our residents parking with his home extensions. At least it’s a sunny day..

Utterly disgusted to read that. You are probably the same person who was pushing for a second eu referendum because ‘many old people have died who voted leave’

Our elders in society should be respected and protected.

Well, I’m for 1 not investing another penny on this platform until the ‘buy and flip’ trend is over. The ONLY way FI will ever sort this problem out is by increasing MB and PB dividends. Until this happens my £18k will stay in my bank. I was about to put the lot on Pogba but it’s simply too much of a gamble while the market is so unstable.

I hold over 2000 currently. Keep holding my friend and hope his performances keep dwindling at Barcelona. Manchester City will be on high alert and will do whatever it takes to sign the goat 🐐

The many think that Sancho will be the ‘hot topic’ in January or the summer...history has proved, that Messi is a FAR bigger story. Enjoy the ridiculous MB dividends payouts very soon..

My main dilemma is the exit timing...at City, he would be an easy £8. One of the only players on the index that could genuinely return you 100% of your investment at his current buy price. 👍🏼 ATITH @Advinculas-Index 👍🏼

Worst ‘dividend review’ since joining. Cheap offerings from a company that have completely de-risked themselves. 1 billion growth? Maybe in 10-15 years from now. FI are delusional as a company. They have proved they are not only inept, but cheap also.

I almost signed up for the ‘other’ Football stock Exchange with the full intention of depositing £5k yesterday...Still seems to me like a confusing casino. Also judging by the price of Bruno Fernandes on there, anyone joining now has surely missed the boat. Good luck to those who have joined the ‘other’ stock market, but for the time being, I’m happy to stay on the isle of Index 👍🏼 For me it’s probably best to stay on dry land rather than board a cruise ship with a destination notice board that’s written in mandarin...

I might be a miserable man but I absolutely hate...

'CHEERS' and you clink your glasses together..

Wow I never do that and never will.

Cheers for letting us know 🍻 🥂 😂

@Archer22 said in Messi:

@Kanzz

More than happy with my holding at £6, think he is still a steal to be honest!

Same here 👍🏼 Have an average of £5.93 and I’m super happy to hold for the foreseeable. 🐐🥳

@Dav said in Bruno Fernandes:

Wow Rashford out of nowhere lol plus they’ve taken 50 points off Bruno was 1190 now 1140

Happy with Rashford winning MB tonight. Have 1000 personally. What a night! 🥳

@Archer22 said in Messi:

Come on guys where is the GOAT love? A pen, an assist, no GWG and clears away the top striker and top player award......this guy wins even when he’s average!

Plenty of love for the GOAT here mate! 2000 shares + 🐐= 💷💷💷🥳

@Dav said in Bruno Fernandes:

@Pez

For the media watch VVD will win it

...we’ll see 😉 more likely Rashford will take it, but no question my boy Bruno deserves it 💪 🥳

Oh what a result! Bruno, Rashford and Messi....plus an extra £205 from my bet on bet365! What a night. Champagne time! I told you all United were going to win! 😉🥳👍🏼

@Benzemabob said in Messi:

I see him as one of my safest holds for all the reasons you outlined. If he maintains his level he's a goldmine, if he drops, it will fuel further news speculation. I've used the last few weeks to buy in more at bargain prices. He's my second biggest hold in terms of cost and number of shares (after Bruno).

Who’s this guy Bruno then? Never heard of him 🤣

@Valhalla said in Manchester United vs PSG:

I hold 4 Man Utd players, including big boy Bruno. But I think PSG will be too good. 3-0

I hear you mate, but I’m positive for a United 3-1 win tomorrow 🥳
