Because 50 percent of my investing is in crypto I haven't got any argo.
Cine, ezj and av all up today.
Glad I did go for cine a couple of weeks ago. The vaccine program is going to boost it.
Be a tough one deciding when to sell. But it's not a long term hold for sure
Yeah RR is also up slightly too.
Crypto is one of those things i keep thinking i should have some exposure to, but then i keep waiting for a pull back before sticking a small amount in. I did have some XRP but cut my losses on it. Maybe i'll go into Argo if it pulls back. It's shot up 30% today which doesn't seem to correlate to any BTC increases.
RR got a new CFO it seems and in the news because of some electric air speed record they want to attempt this year.
I bailed on all my airline/RR stuff, I'm going to presume the spike is short lived and look to buy back in after a few hours or tomorrow.
probably more money going in EU stonks today since USA markets are closed
looks like they are about to fall already, lloyds is doing good this morning also and seems like it might not start falling given the resistance I'm seeing

I've been in it for ages. I actually do much better with it than stocks.
It's always possible for a crash. That's the hardest bit about going in. If it crashes back it can take a long time to get your money back.
Some people think (me included) that it will now not crash back to its 5k type level again. Institutional money is now in. People buy on small dips etc.
I think it would take a fundamental failure for it to crash now.
But same goes for argo.
lloyds has been my best performing stock and are currently 6% up from when I bought in a few weeks ago.

Yeah I'm up 20% on Lloyds which I didn't expect this quickly.
My biggest regret is Disney. I bought at 99 and sold at 115 after being in the red for over a month, thought they'd stagnated. Now 187+, should have trusted my instinct.
I have tons of them, me and my friends called a lot of them
- Zoom (see my earlier posts)
- Disney
- Netflix
- Amazon
- Elementis
If I had invested in everything I was watching on my HL list - I would be laughing.
I should have trusted my gut, instead of focussing in on one area I "felt" more comfortable with. For example, I'm in with NWG. I'm up a fair amount now, however it would have been considerably more.

Yeah, can't moan too much though, I'm green on everything. Nobody believed my forecast on Whitebread in June, now up 33%. Thanks quarantine hotels!

Agreed - currently green across everything I'm in. We all just want more right?
On a side note, I had a small tiny amount in a Japan tracker, up 15% in the last few months - wish I had put more in that. Very tempted to get more control on some of my pension pots. Some are historic (small in size) and some are current ones - however getting real performances figures isn't always easy (lifestyle options which are made up of funds). Managing on HL, in trackers I set, would be ideal.
Have to bear in mind (hoho), that we're in a extended bullish run at the moment. It's easy to get carried away saying I wish I did that, I wish I had more control over my pension etc.
Everyone feels like a Pro Trader at the moment, because everyone is seeing big gains. It's frankly absurd how easy it is right now.
The longer this bull run goes on, the harder the correction will be. Just keep it in mind.

Not that I disagree some stocks are over brought - particularly on the US side, what are we talking 15%? I know nobody knows for sure, but I don't feel that same doom and gloom for all industries.
PS. I don't consider myself a pro trader by any measure
This.
If you made a loss since covid. You should probably stop trading!
Some big Big gains too. My biggest regret is tesla. I was looking at that ages ago.

Wow yes my Cineworld up 10%
I bought a couple of weeks ago,because of the success of the vaccine. Wanted to get in before the numbers and talk of ending lockdown became prevalent

Yeah for sure. The Disney regret is that everyone and their mum had Disney+ so there was an obvious reason for a decent year. I needed to do more research into their income streams, how much of a factor their parks were and whether they had any debt/rent on them or if they're owned outright.
Going to be interesting how streaming wars pans out.
I'm personally never going to have more than one streaming service at a time.
My concern is they all becomes a bit diluted and that actually having little competition in this market is better than lots.
Currently I love netflix and have no reason to deviate. They keep putting out stuff I love. Especially my more niche interests.
Disney obviously has a massive market (families with kids!).. But I'm not sure about the others. Even netflix isn't immune to decline.

Anyone ever looked at MGC Pharma (LON: MXC)? They're the first medicinal cannabis company to list on the LSE (listed just a week or two ago), following the ruling last year by the FCA. Don't know much about it but could be interesting given the potential growth in that space.
