    Darn!! Grr!

    A couple weeks back I had a couple of £k spare and bought my self a load of Lloyds shares at 28p. Over the next few days they dithered around the 27-29p mark.

    My son had some granny crash into the side of his car and wrote it off so asks if he can borrow some money before the insurance is sorted out.

    So I thought the easiest way is to dump the shares as they weren't doing much. Made a quick £70 so was not a loss, BUT NOW THEY ARE nearly 36p and I MISSED £500.

    Grrrrrrrrrrr!!

    Rant over.
    Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

      Yes but was only a 2k loan, so 25% is pretty steep.

      I did consider this for all of 2 minutes.

        Cheaper than Wonga and the other pay day loan companies
