GKP

Hi Diver,
Many thanks for replying. As 96p had held twice in last few days that's why I asked the question whether it should now be regarded as a support level. I understand the good advice though and that it cannot be relied upon as support. 86p being a stronger support level and failing that 64.
Great site here, wish I'd been aware of it before ')

Just to say hello to you folks here.

I'm a semi-retired middle-aged muppet who 2 years ago had too much spare time, a little spare money, dreams of easy riches and an appetite for the excitement of a little risk.

Having seen a chap posting on a sports car forum that he'd bought GKP and doubled his money (late 2011 IIRC), I stumbled like a lamb to the slaughter into the turbulent world of AIM. All the mistakes in the book? You bet! Bought in to GKP, XEL and BLVN all on the up (or so I thought...). Looking back I've been a complete pr!ck.... NO research and NO idea what I was doing/getting into. 'Averaging down'? Oh yeah: done a lot of that! So here I am with a few tens of thousands 80% in GKP (220 average...) and 20% in XEL (112 average). Needless to say over 50% down overall.

I've always been (and still am) on the iii BBs as 'No Quarter' - a nickname a few here might recognise. I've always has a mild curiosity about TA , having noticed Jackozy's posts being uncannily accurate, and also read with great interest STMs posts as well as BMU's. Always watch out for pj66's views too.

So here I am under no illusions whatsoever that I've made a hash of this. I'm also under no illusions that TA will take some getting to grips with. But in addition to being a bit of a naive over-boisterous puppy at times, I am when I choose to be highly analytical and ruddy determined. Being PhD-educated helps as research is a breeze to/for me ( OK, OK, so why didn't you do some 2 years ago I hear you chortle!).

I've taken a look through some posts here this evening and am excited to have made the move over here to GET LEARNING. I'm certainly not expecting this to be in any way an easy route out of the abyss/ panacea for all of my investing problems, but I would like to cautiously embark on something of a modest damage limitation exercise if I can.

So thanks to all here for sharing their expertise and I look forward to engaging with you as and when I'm able to contribute a little something. I'll save any emotive blather for iii!!

Best regards to all,

EGH

Hi Earl glad you made it. Just arrived here myself yesterday after Steve announced he was discontinuing his FTSECharts site, so we are in the same boat. Didn't realise you were 'no quarter' on iii (but I won't hold that against you ')).
I am really concerned about GKP atm, things are looking bleak now to me, we need some positive news to turn things around such as ICG/KRG budget including oil export agreement, some good debt financing news from this current round would help too.
Stricter investment discipline on my part is needed, the support and resistance data is all out there it's just learning patience and emotional detachment that is my problem, having humungous losses doesn't help me with the emotional detachment bit ')
Anyway good luck and let's learn from the guys (and girls) here like remo, Steve, diver, wavesurfer and ronnie.
