Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostHmmm, I might have to bail out of my EZJ soon. They're roughly back to what I paid pre-referendum, and I think they're at least fairly valued now. I totally bottled it with BARC and sold those at a hefty loss last year (would've been a hefty gain if I hadn't bottled it) Pension is looking a bit cleverer, but that's mainly in funds. Contract income in Dollars is looking a lot better, although we're well off the trough in Cable.
I buy shares when they crash, bought a lot of EZJ when they reached 990 but the reason I bought was because I felt they might get a takeover offer.Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment

I sold mine today. I just feel the downside is bigger than the upside now. I was down about 10k at one point, but roughly broke even, which is not particularly clever in the current market , but I bought them as a hedge.Comment
