Whats a hurdle rate?

It's the minimum acceptable rate of return required before one would decide to commit to an investment / project vs doing something else (ie. staying in cash).

You run a business and talk frequently about "risk adjusted returns" - I'm fairly sure you have your own hurdle rate, but perhaps didn't realise that that is what it is called.

You spoiled a run of fun. I am sure all here knew what it was or looked it up.

Oh, sorry I forgot. You try to contribute on here and get ridiculed for your effort. Back in my hole.

Here is a simple concept, you will know when the target price has been reached because it will show you.

Had the profits continued to run then obviously I wouldn't have sold.

Target price recognition, trend reversal, profit taking and re-entry all in a colour piccy.
Reputation (trader), brokerage fees, investor mentality and CGT, all factors that need to be considered

This hurdler rates very highly!

How have you managed to run a couple of successful businesses without knowing that tech/a

I've known people with business acumen to understand concepts without ever having encountered the labels ("positive expectancy" is one such label that springs to mind).
At the same time I've witnessed people chanting labels, whom, upon interrogation have demonstrated an absence of understanding of the underlying concept (yet again "positive expectancy" springs to mind).
