Is this the same thing as is on PrimaryBid? I had a quick glance and it just looked like a sort of pooled investment looking to buy up private companies with the aim of driving investor returns. Its a bit of a long term investment than anything else.

Interesting. I sometimes find the best thing about investing in places like that are discounts
It was my main reasoning for investing in Brewdog, but that has given me actual financial increases too! Another i saw was Chapel Down which offered good benefits to shareholders. I've seen a few other breweries raising money through crowdfunding too.
It's good to see more distilleries popping up in the UK, especially for Whisky. I'm always a little weary of Gin places though as i feel at some point the momentum will move to another spirit and all these gin places will struggle with there being so many. A plan to distribute 50% of profits via dividend seems impressive though and if they're local then there's always that benefit too..
True. Through round by us pretty much anything with an ABV is a license to print money and they're getting a lot of things right.
I was planning on posting back here when they release with my thoughts and more detail on the place if it's something I thought was a sound investment so stay tuned

I'm going to start averaging down into the dip now. Looks like a good time to pick up a few US tech stocks I've had my eye on for a while. I also fully expect that prices could easily drop another 20-30% from here but these will be multi year holds
MoneyDashboard has smashed it's funding goal, it then added a stretch goal which it's close to hitting. I got a little carried away with it and went in at £750 which is probably a bit daft, but the way other things are going i couldn't see anywhere better to put some money!
Annoyingly i only got into most US stocks around a month ago, so had missed a lot of the upside and getting plenty of the downside! I thought i'd bought the bottom of Blackberry but down 20% on that too!
Even Realty Income which i suspected was a safe bet with a decent Dividend is down 5% The less said about Vision Lithium the better
Yet GME is still rising. That shows how stupid the markets are!

May well come out of my ezj and Cine shares on Monday. Been a it caught out and overall sentiment seems very negative.
Only just looked and some big falls.
Amazingly aviva is flat. Which seems great today.
Wow us tech is crazy down.
Wtf. Nio is like 14 percent dow .
I know a lot of you guys teal talk about us tech. Sure glad I didn't get tempted, I was very tempted a month ago. That looks painful.

Is it naive to say that things will come back up at some point, whether it's in a day, a week or a month.
Surely these sorts of times for long termers are great as long as they've got a bit of cash to average down or open new positions in previously overpriced stockm

Gonna stick with IAG and RR, they're fundamentally good longer term imo.
I don't like the state of the US, has potential to turn into a proper rout...I don't think people averaging down will be enough to stop the decline.
Back to 50% cash for me while this sorts itself out.

I'm going to also go to 50 percent cash I think.
I want to be in a position to jump in to this rout if I feel I want to. I looked at my day losses and its only 2 percent. If I was in US tech now would be looking at big losses. And huge losses for the month.
Time to check that falling knife
Exactly my thinking. Most of my investments are in funds which over the long term, should whether the storm. So I'll be buying the dips for those funds. Not looking to cash-out for at least 10 years.
Having missed the covid correction as I was out of the markets while buying a house, I'm pretty happy about this tbh. I can get back into some tech stocks I've been wanting to, but resisted due to the silly prices and risk of a correction.
Will be watching with interest next week....
Going to stay away from INRG until they rebalance and get away from Plug Power too
