    Fascinating topic isn't it. Have always kept my long term parcel in tact, however have trade small lot along lines when market has gone silly. And those little parcels have helped pay few bills along the way.

    I hold long term. I'm not going to try and time the market buying and selling

    I just wish I hadn't sold down 100,000 shares at 85 cents in 2015
    Sigh

    317 trades of a2 over here. Early trades around 50c to 70c. First buy in was 2/7/14. Most ever hold at one time was 357,000, but every time it went down 10c would loose $35,000 so jumped out when it went up 20c and pocketed $70,000. Still have 4 blocks of long term a2 shares left from earlier days, one of those blocks was 20,000 bought in the 50c days. The other 3 blocks were in the early $7 days. I felt very uncomfortable buying at the sp hight $7. Watched the sp go from $3 to $7 and got sick of waiting so jumped in. When it got to $9.50 and the day before the results 20/2/18, I think it was beagle who reminded me the half year announcement was the next day. So quickly scraped up some dosh and sold a couple of others and bought an extra 21,000 at 9.50 and sold them the next morning before Aussi opened for $11. When Aussi opened it went up another couple of dollars over the next couple of weeks before it dropped away again. a2 was 100% of my portfolio for a few weeks this year and that was scary, so sold half an am chasing div stocks now.

    Wish the shorters would come back, but only before a2 results. Be good to make a few dollars next month.

    They have been very quiet for past four months around 4% or so, must be getting ready for attack soon, One thing for sure though they don't fancy their chances while GB is in charge.

    Totally Agree with you. The shorters are running away which cause the Sp steady and firm. I don't think they dare to come back either. waiting for the rocket to be lift off ....
