I don't find other people's misfortunes funny. What would be funny is what would happen to the share price i.e. the large swing it would happen.
Maybe you are wealthy and can afford to do this, but putting 2k on TW simply because it went up 30% in the past week is a recipe for disaster.
No you've read what I posted wrong, I didn't buy TW because it had gone up 30%.
I was looking at TW as a good mid to long term buy purely because I was looking to invest in the construction sector, did some research and really fancied them. While I was fannying about for a few days considering whether I should buy or not they rose 30%. I was then concerned that since they'd gone up so much they may stick for a while or come down and that's why I said
"I was looking at them about a week ago and they've already gone up 30% since then but I still think they're worth a punt."
and not "They've just gone up 30%, I'll stick some money on them as they have just gone up loads".
But I'm still struggling to see how a large swing will be funny to you when you're not laughing at peoples misfortunes.
I'm not even that worried if it does go back down, hopefully by Christmas 2010 it'll be just over a quid a share and I'll have quadrupled my money.
