Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

Unless he invested around £300/350k to start with, I think he's pulling your leg.....

1st Jan 2019 - Tesla Share price was 62p, now 695. so around x11 original share price

Yup, he invested about 300K USD at 300$ pre split. I was with him during market openings and he was seeing swings of about 70k a day on his account!

End of the day an excellent company is most likely always going to be at an all time high.

Must be loaded in the first place to have 300k cash lying around to invest!

You heard it here first folks, you just need to find an 'excellent' company to invest in, job done! :D

But seriously, there is money to be made on hysterical stocks, just like Bitcoin, I just have no interest in trading on that sort of sentiment. Leave that to the memes on WSB.
 
I expect a lot of profit taking today on TSLA, so could be a good chance to top up later. I did sell a small chunk myself on Friday to pay for a car, but still long term HODL.
 
Bailout less then expected /hoped for, some pullback I guess is from market sentiment being less bullish

Long term punt on PHE.

In at 3.40 on Thursday, today's high, 4.95. +45%.

Powerhouse Energy Group plc has developed a process technology, Distributed Modular Generation (DMG). DMG technology converts non- recyclable waste plastic and end-of-life-tires into synthetic gas (syngas) that can be used for power generation and as a source of hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles. The resulting end of waste products include hydrogen, electrical power and heat, natural gas replacement and chemical feedstocks. DMG technology is a hydrogen from waste process and it produces low levels of safe residues. Each unit generates up to 3.4 megawatt electrical (MWe) of exportable electrical power or alternatively exports approximately two tons of road-fuel quality hydrogen whilst exporting at least two MWe of electricity per day from 40 tons of mixed non-recyclable feedstock. It licenses the DMG control systems with associated paid services for specific client feedstock analysis and laboratory services, engineering during project development, and then operational support services.

Latest RNS:

We are pleased to announce that Peel L&P Environmental ("Peel") has commenced
site preparation for the first commercial DMG® plant at Protos with initial
ground works. Peel has also embarked on phase 2 of infrastructure works at
Protos which include the preparation of access roads and laydown areas for the
works and utility service installation on Protos Plot 10b where the DMG® plant
will be installed.

This site work is ongoing whilst contract and post FEED (Front-End Engineering
Design) engineering definition proceeds for the site including:

* Negotiations with potential construction delivery contractors;
* Safety system procurement and the implementation of operational safety
systems based on a HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Analysis study) study for
Powerhouse's DMG process for the Protos application which has been
successfully completed by a joint team of Powerhouse, Peel and the
engineering consultants ;
* Provision of operational definition material for a future Operations &
Maintenance contract tender; and
* Further refinement to the construction measures to be applied in line with
modular build strategy.

Powerhouse has successfully recruited qualified and experienced operational and
technical staff this quarter, building the team in engineering with senior
process engineers, application engineers and support staff joining the team to
be based at the Thornton research and development centre, supporting further
technical advancements , Protos project activites and new business
development.

To facilitate expansion of the DMG® technology, Powerhouse has developed a
design for a solution that can export larger volumes of hydrogen, broadening
the scope for Peel to engage with smaller fleet consumers of hydrogen who
require supply to their own or third party off-site locations. In this
context, Peel has been progressing two sites through pre-planning engineering,
to incorporate these new DMG technology improvements. Consultation with the
local council authorities is expected to be initiated shortly.

Powerhouse has welcomed the UK Government's recent ten point plan for a green
industrial revolution, which highlighted the need for hydrogen production in
order to reach net zero and reduce carbon emissions.

Commenting on progress, Tim Yeo, Executive Chairman of Powerhouse Energy, said:

"We welcome the commencement of activity at Protos with clearance of the site
where the first commercial scale plant will be built, which will help
accelerate the UK's clean energy transition. Powerhouse is getting down to
business ahead of intense activity expected in 2021 as demand for our waste
plastic to hydrogen technology gains rapid momentum. The Company has
strengthened the board and appointed a number of key experts to our operational
team. I am looking forward to the next year as the opportunity for Powerhouse
continues to grow and our clean energy technology can become part of the
solution to air pollution and waste plastic".
 
was easy to spot the US markets trend, almost every stock was rebounding back to at least it's day opening price.
probably a lot of scalping going on, shame 212 doesn't allow it unless you wait 5mins.
my NVDA shares avg price was 532.... (yea yea bad time to buy sometime in the last 2 weeks)

it dropped so damn hard to 519.
bought some extra fraction of a share to scalp with got my losses turned in to a gain :D, made to sure to wait 5-10 mins each buy and sell though.

you never know how anal 212 are about the 5minutes, is it a hard limit or "guideline"

Long term punt on PHE.

In at 3.40 on Thursday, today's high, 4.95. +45%.
going to grab a whole fivers worth at market open in the morning :D
cheers.

they can just sit down the back of the sofa for a few years

Just got off the phone to HL regarding a separate issue, but they've flagged an issue with my ISA allowances.

I have one ISA with HL which I've had for years, and one with Vanguard which I opened this year. I added 10k to both this year (topped up my HL, and opened Vanguard later on). I was under the impression this was fine as I haven't opened my HL one this year, but the guy on the phone seemed to suggest you could only top up 1 account in a year and the second ISA to be paid into (Vanguard) would have to be voided; whatever that means.

It seems this is true and I've totally got the wrong end of the stick/wordings whenever ISAs (plural) is mentioned, ie they have to be different types. So question is what does voiding mean? Just moving the amount over and paying CGT?

Annoyingly, the reason for the second account was purely to keep the two pots and their subsequent gains/losses separate in case I needed to put money back into my business; the Vanguard fund is just the S&P500 so nothing HL don't offer.

That's right, you can open as many as you like but only pay into 1 of each type. I'm not really sure what happens next, I suspect unless HMRC come knocking then absolutely nothing.
 
You can only contribute to 1 ISA per tax year....

So doesn't matter when they were "opened" etc - It matters when you make the contribution.

HMRC will eventually contact you. They will instruct one of the providers to refund your cash, including interest. You will then be responsible for paying tax on the interest. Don't expect that to be any time soon - can take 12-18 months from experience.
 
You can only put money into one cash ISA and/or one stocks and shares ISA and/or one lifetime ISA and/or one innovative finance ISA in each tax year. Up to £20k total across them all.

I use a normal S&S ISA and a S&S LISA as two different investment pots for this purpose.
 
You can only contribute to 1 ISA per tax year....

Not quite true which is where my confusion came in! You can if they're different types.

Noted on the rest, thanks. Would I be best to just leave it as-is, or transfer it over to HL now (tho it's up 13% so not sure how that impacts my allowance...)?
 
Anyone watching the US markets today, anything expected to go north when they open?
AAPL are only up 1% since yesterday probably a good bet

something tells me Apple cars being like Apple phones would make people not want to buy them though :p

you probably can't even inflate the tyres without an apple device :p

Tesla are pretty bad for people wanting to work on them though right? I remember watching a docu about a guy who does it
