When I was quite new to the index(still am really) I put a post on titled "sea of red". This was me panicking and not knowing quite what was going on and, of course, the market has blossomed. So I thought I'd try and make amends with this post. To all newbies, try and keep the faith even when it doesn't look good. I just rode the waves and am now seeing the good times, great to see green all over...but I'm not counting my chickens yet cos can easy go both ways I suppose....onwards and upwards
My Mrs just glares at me whenever I mention FI. The fact that she has no savings, no pension and no plans doesn't seem to worry her. Got plenty of shoes and handbags though....maybe we can retire to Spain and open a market stall selling "quality" clothing and accessories....oh the dream...
i can just feel the excitement brewing over the forthcoming share split....just loving it. No matter what anyone's strategy is I hope all benefit and Happy New Year to everybody.
Great post and very interesting. I think a lot of unrest stems from people used to gambling and seeing instant return, so when a player drops it's almost like a loss. This isn't the case of course and I love the fact that my "bet" is still going. I still get the buzz of seeing players go up in value and I've had far more enjoyment than my normal betfair, skybet, etc. wagers, which pay off rarely and once it's gone, it's gone. I hope the index keeps going onto bigger and better things and also hope I'm one of the initial investors and there's loads more to come. Love the forum and think this will increase in user numbers also as there's loads of well meaning users on here and as mentioned previously somewhere we're all in it together and success hopefully breeds success....by the way I have no futures in Success....onwards and upwards
Boloxxy bollox to this, just spent a month trying to get my portfolio right then i'd need to sell everybody to rebuy them for this....so much for long term holds....
Exactly the same mate, addicted to it. Need a big screen like on Wall Street so I can have it on constantly in case anything happens....snooze you lose

@Advinculas-Index Ha that takes me back, always the "last song" at the local club, Saying went "If you hadn't scored by the time Zoom came on, it was set meal for one at the Chinese takeaway on the way home"
Upvoted because its the best read I've had for ages, great points on both sides.
@NewUser137836 Not that I can see. Also once you have a player up for sale then you can't see his buy AND sell price in your portfolio. Is there anyway to do this other than searching for each individual player to see how they currently stand?
@ChazFI123 Thanks, but I'm thinking of my reserve price?
i have a player up for sale. where can i find out how much i have him up for? thanks in advancw
Looking at replies so far, I hold Edwards and Almada for precisely this reason.
I've actually went for Sterling, graph looks right so won't take a great deal to go up. still feel its risky though, but thats half the fun.
gawd loads ha. werner who i sold a while back, haaland cos stubborn, sancho who i sold also is my big regret
@MrWh1te cheers, funny enough I do exactly the same now. Always feel I might be missing out on something though.
When I first joined the forum a couple of years ago I was quite active but the size of it was miniscule compared to today. By the time I sift through and read most(not all) of the posts I'm too knackered to write anything ha. The forum has grown in line with the footie, so all good. I do miss mwerdna and agreed with Elisandro...still laughing at Alan wank Biscuits :)
EDIT* Also had a hell of a lot of bother when switched to beta site, couldn't access forum for ages and got pissed off in the process.
