Don't worry..this time next week it will be worth £175.00🙃

I remember not long ago kicking myself because a Full sov fell below £219 and i waited too long and had to pay £225 😆

Haha.....I could understand if you bought a 1000 and took a £6000 hit! ....but losing £6 isn't that bad really...😆😆😆😆😆

I always buy when gold is at its highest peak and sell in the lowest dips. Stick to this method and over a few years it works out 😂😂

Count yourself lucky it was just half a sov. Imagine the loss on a full, double or quintuple sov.

Remember there are worse things.

They say new cars lose most of their value as soon as they leave the dealer's forecourt.

The diameter will shrink in size as the gold spot price reduces 😂😂

It's the curse of buying, but comfort yourself that you're still sorted in long term. I purchased some gold last year during the time it was hitting 1520-1530£ /oz, so pretty sad in one way, but I tell myself I'll be the winner in 20-30 years from now 🥲
