Your experience is not relative Guv, because as you point out yourself, it wasn't even up to being accepted practice.
I decided to take you advice Guv. I really think BA are going to 55p. Therefore I sold them short a while ago today. And guess what? They still keep going up!
About 160p now they are. Still, only another £1.05 to drop before I can pat you on the back and take you out for lunch for giving me such fantastic investment strategies to punt in.........
Go away.
