Why we are hanging onto Optibiotix as we enter unchartered territory

More:

The largest holding that Real Man has in its portfolio is Optibiotix (OPTI). At 34.5p we are, quite amazingly, looking at a 300% profit (plus warrants) on our initial investment. The size of the holding is, I admit, a trifle frightening as are the gains. But although we have advised readers to bank gains we are not doing that ourselves. Are we mad? I think not.

Come on Tom ……….. do the right thing for your trust benificiaries and at least take your original capital stake out and “ free ride” from here. OPTI could win zero market share and you could lose all your gains ……… why risk it all ? Dont get blinded by greed at the final hurdle .

Sold @ 32p for a 100% profit. My worst failing in the past has been to hold too long and see paper profits evaporate so I bank gains religiously now. If share keeps going up so be it I’ve had a decent return, if it falls it’s a chance to either have another bite or just look smug :)

Still holding the same value as original investment, but I’ve banked +300% profit. Love this share, but this is AIM! Protecting capital is paramount. Paper gains may look fantastic, but they can disappear overnight! Tom, bank some of your profit, and enjoy the ride for free, what have you got to lose?

Tom

Thanks to you and the ShareProphets team this has been a fantastic tip.

Bought in together with another of your winners, Premaitha. I’ve taken profits along the way, but still holding a healthy interest in both companies and backing their respective teams to deliver in buckets, more than happy now to hold for the long term.
