Best Share I Never Bought

I thought it would be interesting to find out which share you now wish you had bought into.
My pick is easy. I think it was around 2008 and an article in Sunday Star times had a list of NZX companies with potential . One of the ten was A2 Milk, I think they were 10c per share.
Nah, i thought, Pacific Edge would be my pick!
Oh dear.

Don't know about best share i never bought, but I've got a bunch that i did buy that I wish I never

Xero - enough said.

ATM - 'nuff said. 3,720% since 2013.... 60% of my portfolio. Living the dream.

I think this will be a thread revolving around primarily ATM, Xero and FPH.

And never buying enough of them or selling too early!

And on a similar subject - best share I sold and regret....

Xero. Got in at $1 ipo and sold at $1.90 pretty happy with the 90% return....

From that lesson I've held onto my A2 (48c) and blt (0.7c).

EBOS. Thought about buying them about twenty years ago and thought I would jump in at a discounted price when one of their many acquisitions over the years disappointed the market. I am still waiting for this to happen!

Mine was FPH - too "expensive" in the late noughties at $2.78 for me!

I never bought xero. Had an opportunity at $60 and decided they were overcooked. My broker pushed. It's the one recommendation he had right :D
He recommended several dogs (ZEL bring top of the list)

As for ATM - bought at 33 cents sold at 96 cents.

I thank the Lord for the wisdom to buy FPH at 1.86.
I don't discuss Rakon with him.

Hopefully my recent purchase of Millennium Copthorne hotels at $1.80 will provide me some solice, but not buying ATM at 10c in 2009, poor me.

The first wish I had bought it and did not was Williams & Kettle.
There are usually a few each year that I wish I had bought or not sold and it would make a very long list
And that is just the NZX.

Still no use crying over spilt milk:

Xero - I could never get my head around the valuation and probably never will. I have a few Barrmundi shares and they have Xero in their portfolio and Barramundi have been very good for me so I suppose I should be grateful for small mercy's.

Is that A2 spilt milk I see Snowcat ;)

Its when you bought and did not hold...

ATM @ $5,could of,should have,trust the gut & go with it hell for leather!
Te Parapara :laugh::laugh::laugh:

I regret not buying Afterpay. I often considered it and chickened out. It would have been a wild ride.

Not an NZX listed share but I've regretted for many years not buying CSL (ASX). Today's price - around AUD284-40.

Xero for me. Never really understood the numbers in the early days and sort of fell from my Watchlist !

Must admit I did miss that...need to keep a closer eye on things https://www.bing.com/images/search?v...127&ajaxhist=0

Fortunately as implied by my avatar ATM was very kind to me on my investment journey, no longer hold.

FPH for me.
I'm edit the above, sorry.
Misread the title as EVER instead of NEVER

Anyone remember from the mid 1980's Spectrum Resources I think it was ?

from 1/2c to well north of 90c in one huge roll upwards ..

Renouf Corporation must be a classic long term upwards

1987 just after the Sharemarket Crash SP 1/2c to 1c

A change of name & in the passage of time after, it became Hellaby

Taken over by Bapcor - most will know what they paid per share

When Fisher and Paykel split, I went with appliances rather than healthcare. Ooops indeed!

Tranz Rail...$100k would have turned into $1.2m in a matter of weeks from memory!

Many years ago even before I became a glamorous movie star I was a reader of an Australian left wing weekly newspaper.

An article in this paper caught my attention. The author raged against foreign ownership of Australian assets and industries. The author was bitter about how the best Australia could produce was sent overseas along with the profits.

A company singled out for criticism was a junior oil explorer who had just struck oil and was looking to develop the find by exporting it for foreigners use rather than selling it to true blue Aussie battlers.

Hmm, I thought, I need to find out more about this company and invest in it. I never did.

The companies name was Woodside Petroleum.
