I would really like to see some positively given towards the CIC because continual negativity is not going to help us move forward.
This is my position as well. I looked at my 'holding' this morning: down £40 since I joined and I considered just cutting my losses and walking away because there is far too much negativity and it makes this forum a pretty bleak place to come.
We KNOW that we're down, we KNOW that there is still no decided way to progress but posting in here about how awful it all is doesn't help. When I joined I accepted there would be losses and, as mentioned, if you strip out CLLN, which should have been a national scandal when we look at how it was run in hindsight, then we're around level: not great, but certainly not enough to attract continual negativity (from the same people).
If you need your £10 a month, then obviously this is not for you, but for a few clicks a day, it's a "fun" way to have an oar in the stock market. The problem is, all the "fun" is being tainted at the moment by people snipping and sniping.
Let's get things moving, give it another go. I'm going to propose a purchase and sale for around May 1st in a new thread so, while we organise where we're at longer term, we've got something to engage people in the short term.
