Bought Credit Suisse and First Republic on Friday after market close for no sensible reasons.

Chunky fall on EQT - more dilution/fund raising.
Dreadful isn't it, there's a bit of good news it creeps up, then bad new and drops by twice as muchI hate accepting a loss but I've a few like EQT CWR & SNG which are so well under I think
a) they'll ever recover to break even and
b) will probably sink without trace
Can't decide whether to bite the bullet or hold until the death just in case.
Of course I could buy more in the hope they return to where they were last week....

If you sell now your going to loose , may as well hang onto them and see what happens.

With dilution, you have to keep pumping capital in to keep some value.
In the past I've had a few that have dwindled into nothing - I've also had a couple where I wish I had held on to them for a little longer.

There's an argument for taking the loss now and trying to rebuild the capital with something lower risk - like say banking/finance

I don't even know what EQT do, but the general rule is not to take much notice of the share price, but try to study future business prospects and capital resourses, inculding debt level. If its activities are too difficult to understand, run.
If a company is successful, the share price will eventually follow.

Why do anything ?

Loose or loose more is the question and with the likes of EQT, we'll add in the likes of SNG, SYME etc all with high hopes maybe 12 month ago but now hardly worth a tube of Smarties..If you sell now your going to loose , may as well hang onto them and see what happens.
There comes a point where you think it best to cut your losses and move on.
Out of interest, I had a look at EQT.
Saw they had an equity placing with instututions yesterday.
I never like that, because obviously most of the existing shareholders are left out of the transaction and so their holdings are duluted.
Their articles of association would obviously permit the issue of new additional shares. Never seems fair really, but is quick and simpler for the company than a rights issue.

Your literally chasing your losees , you've lost on one share so your now going to try and invest new money double your profit and make up the original loss.
Some interesting developments at ZNWD (Zinnwald) after close of business today, culminating in a primary bid offer at 25% premium to today's stock price.

I think that's the first time I've seen a PB offer higher than the prevailing share price.

TRX update today - an AIM business that looks set to be a success, generate profit and cash in the future.
Of course the share price is stationary.
And down a chunk today!Of course the share price is stationary.
A great RNS - sales up 20%, hit a positive EBITDA, new products to launch, extended credit facility and no intention to raise equity, sensible share consolidation proposal to stop SP fluctuations due to piddly trades.
Sold all my ZIM today, going to buy back ex div with 90% of it (take the cap gain not the div) and try to buy 3k of TRX tomorrow
