I only have a grands worth of real shares tucked away for the long term- but I have rather more than that at risk in June 06 spreadbets. I'm comfortable about the price being over 20p this time next year, but if they pick some silly figure for a fundraising, I'll hit my guaranteed stoploss. Well I suppose that serves me right for playing with money I don't have spare. Well, it's kind of spare otherwise it wouldn't be in a speculative aim mining stock, but I'd rather not lose it!
I probaby ought to close out some of my long position, but it's just difficult to press the button to turn paper loss into real loss, when there is so much potential here! Alternative is to drop my stoploss point (ie put more money on the table), but that's the way to get really broke...
