Comments on: I lost money in shares today – but doing well overall! http://blog.techboy.co.uk/index.php/2009/11/25/i-lost-money-in-shares-today-but-doing-well-overall/ A glimpse into the life of Paul Richardson Thu, 29 Jul 2010 13:44:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Techboy http://blog.techboy.co.uk/index.php/2009/11/25/i-lost-money-in-shares-today-but-doing-well-overall/comment-page-1/#comment-282 Techboy Thu, 26 Nov 2009 18:41:21 +0000 http://blog.techboy.co.uk/?p=263#comment-282 Actually selling yesterday wasn't great, but it could have been a lot worse. If I had sold today I would have lost an additional £397. The UK economy is in 'another' decline at the moment - and maybe the shares came up too quickly before? Plus there was a technical glitch at the London Stock Exchange today (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aDlfycct8WkM&pos=5). Now is the time to keep an eye on the markets because a lot of stuff out there is very cheap right now.
