So as you probably know, I am looking at selling up.
I have exit points in mind for all of my players and am nowhere near them so that sets a bit of a dilemma.
My port is built for divs, and PL heavy.
If this was your port, who would you hold? Who would you list? And why?
Who would you market list as opposed to instant sell?
Thank you!
Personally I would (and did) sell Kroos, Vardy and Mikel. Purely based on age. I would instant sell as well because I think the market list will only keep decreasing. I’d keep Sterling, Kane, Pogba, Rashford, Tah, Coman and Werner. All good shout for PB and MB. Others like Pulgar I’m on the fence about. Didn’t really achieve much PB last year and unlikely to have any transfer buzz in next few windows.
Thank you all. This evening I made the decision to sell all and have market listed my whole port.
Two main reasons:
1) I genuinely fear a crash, and I have too much money in. I need to sell most by October anyway for my new home, and it is too stressful. I believe when sell orders come in, it could be carnage.
2) Morally I need to take a stand. I feel the way FI has treated its customers has not been good and I feel genuine anger over the whole removal of IS thing, even though it doesn't affect me as much. As such, and because I have another outlet in FS, my time in FI is done, unless there comes a point when they start listening to customers.
I have had a good run and made substantial money, now is the time for me to go. You won't find me bashing FI, if only because of the friends I have there with money in, such as you guys. But I will answer questions honestly.
Good luck all, I hope you continue to make the money you want from the site.
Wow that is big news. Obviously you have to do what is right for you. The negativity that has crept in to FI since introduction of matching engine has got me worried. I share your fear on a crash when the sell orders come in. The problem is that I can’t currently size the risk. In percentage terms how big do you think the crash might be?
Honestly, I don't know. All I know is the risk v reward is too much for me now.
What will probably happen, is people will trade below the market price.
When sell orders come in, everyone who has been waiting to sell will put shares up for sale. This will almost certainly be below the market price. Lots of selling = prices drop, traditionally on FI.
I am just mitigating my risk atm.
Many are echoing these thoughts! A lot of the experienced bunch. Im still selling some and moving to bank. Im trying to wait for a bonus or div rise news spike to sell more on. I followed my gut and sold my fave hold Trent this week- gutted, but just covering myself from any PB matrix fall out. Il be selling and gathering cash until there are positive developments...hope im not done on FI but if it is no longer for me, i will take the profit and look elsewhere. Fingers crossed they sort it out as it was fun!
