Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

AZN has a dividend higher then their EPS which seems to bring some caution but hard to say on such big companies. Didnt know they were 129bn now, 3rd largest in FTSE and FTSE is one of my largest holdings so I have them that way I guess :p

I have recently moved my ISA to Hargreaves Landsdown and have settled (for now) on 3 funds, plus SIPP shares with work.

Fidelity Global Technology Fund
HSBC FTSE 250 Index
HSBC World Selection Adventurous Portfolio

Fidelity has a high fee compared to the others but returns over recent years have been high so content with this for now.

I think these three offer a a decent diversification and spread of investments based on my reading. The HSBC World Selection Fund I transferred over with my ISA from HSBC and may ditch after the next dividend and just focus on the other two.

Would welcome any thoughts on these. I'm investing for the long term i.e. next 25 years and right now have limited time so not looking to buy individual shares beyond my SIPP.
 
I've got a large portion of my long term savings in the 'Legal & General International Index Trust - Class C' with HL.

The decision was based on a few things, namely the low net ongoing charge of 0.08%, a decent spread of risk (around 60% is US shares, the rest is a mixture of various international markets and ~2% cash) and decent performance. It was between that and the vanguard lifestrategy 80 fund but I settled on this as its seems to have performed slightly better and lower fees.

Any individual individual shares are invested in from my 'pocket money' account. I'm relatively risk averse and mainly wanted something to grow steadily over the next 25 years.

Cheers, up 3% from opening, will stay in for the long term :)

Edit: it's strange cos normally I buy shares and they immediately go down lol

Wonder if there has been a glitch or so. One of my funds that I've invested it had a jump of about 40% during yesterday. It was around 3-4% up when I went to bed, and when I checked during my nightshift it was suddenly 43% up.. Can't see any reason for it to jump that high.
 
Should this thread be split into 2 ?

Day trading and Investment/Funds?

Im more into the fund side of things just now, as for me its easier and less time consuming, but i read this thread knowing that its not really aimed at me...

whats the deal with uranium stocks? is it just pure speculation that nuclear energy is going to be part of the green wave of energy?
I've seen people on discords pimping them since lithium was getting hyped

This thread is called trading the stock market therefore it's for buying individual stocks and shares in single companies.

A seperate thread could be done for funds but let's be honest there is only really 2 funds anyone need bother about. S&P 500 and VWRP or VWRL. The rest you may as well forget about.

You've made the assumption that we're all up to speed with that; I don't even know what the initials stand for. That's why we have dedicated threads, surely? So that knowledge can be shared no matter how obvious it may be to those who are experienced.

Do us a favour, if there is a dedicated thread created then steer clear. ;)

If you want spoon fed info on funds then go speak with a financial advisor who will charge you £200 an hour to do so.

If you don't understand what the above are you simply Google and do your own research.

Telling someone to go away and do their own research is the number one rule of investing if you cannot do that then I suggest that you stick to premium bonds.
