Brilliant!!! 👍🏼

@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.

@FOF said in Neymar PB 👀 highest ever?:

Anyone thinks neyma is value for money at the moment . Decent mb and always post good pb due to fact he hogs ball. Also he takes fk , peno and corner .
Btw I only hold small amount but was thinking to top up . What’s everyone view ?

I hold 2000 Neymar and not selling. Anyone who hasn’t invested heavily in Bruno Fernandes, Messi and Neymar are going to regret it. Dividends are the ONLY real way of making money right now. Could be so for the next 3-6 months. If you can, build your portfolio around PROVEN investment returners. 👍🏼

Have withdrawn a further £3,914.38 this evening.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..

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 👍🏼 🥂

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.

@Bad-Boss ...they were a FAR better crop of knowledgeable characters, than the drivel this forum has at the moment. At least you could have a debate with many of those guys.

@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 😂

I agree with @Valhalla 👍🏼

It’s not happening. Stop gambling. Sell and buy Bruno Fernandes. Avoid the stress. 👍🏼

So much for ‘healthy’ debate 😂

Stupid mechanism that’s one of the last mistakes Football have in place. Messi and Neymar were deserved winners and yet they lost. What do you think?

Must be mad or very drunk...once again DO NOT drink haig club single grain, but I’m really feeling @Valhalla is right. Leave it to settle in and decide people. Don’t just sell your portfolio at a loss.

@Geronimo159387 @Valhalla make valid statements. Let’s hope FI have an ace up their sleeves soon.

Ps avoid drinking Haig Club single grain...it’s fucking awful 😣

@Valhalla said in FI Update 8/1/2021: They're Removing IPD's In 30 Days:

@Sol it was a necessary sacrifice. We need to get back to believing in our players, holding them and them going up in value. IPD’s had become a noose. But I can see why IPD fans are annoyed.

Exactly! 👏

@Valhalla said in FI Update 8/1/2021: They're Removing IPD's In 30 Days:

Fantastic News. This announcement is just what we needed. Once again CA can be allowed to grow. We are returning to FI’s original allure- holding players, building gradual profit through CA and dividends. Ppl have been screaming from the rooftops for FI to do something to promote CA again. Well they have. No longer will a players value keep getting eroded/undercut by the incentive to flip for IPD’s. Don’t have a problem with IPD’s, but the freak compaction of the schedule, was making them a massive problem. Wouldn’t be surprised if they come back after Covid, when the schedule is more normal. But for now they were bleeding the index, and were a hindrance to CA. Having said that, it would have been nice to know what these other incentives are. That might have softened the blow for those that were IPD’s chasers.
But other wise very pleased with the announcement. So long IPD’s, you have been fun. ...but now I want my player’s to go up in value.

I’m glad to see you think this is positive for the platform 👍🏼

@Dan-The-Man said in Let’s have some fun, who will win Trump or Biden?:

@Victory

Good for the many... not for the few.

Fingers crossed we see a huge shift to the left.

The needs of the few, FAR exceeds the needs of the many. A ‘huge shift to the left’ will be detrimental. Race riots, the loss of freedom of speech and looting will be common place. You sure you want to see This @Dan-The-Man ? If so, I’m lost for words.

@Stelarsi I wouldn’t have been so aggressive in my tone had I not been insulted so much on this forum. Works both ways. Anyway, in the end, I’ve been proven right. Very happy new year ahead 👍🏼
