Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

That is everything across my H&L and T212 accounts, some are short term, some are long so yes, things like CINE/EZJ are deffo short term, some of those are also capped at a nice round 100/500/1000 units and I';m not putting more into them for the exact reason stated.
The plan is to get rid of the short terms when they hit a certain level profit, then the rest will be kept for another 4/5 years and then will be sold and I'll split what I have into 3/5 funds rather than actual direct stocks, will also most likely increase my monthly deposit but as I say, that's a few years off yet and things might change..

Gas prices are on the rise again. Recent article on BBC news business section was good on it.

KISTOS report comes out next week. Expect it to fly. Could see another 20% jump.

Put in February, its been pretty static until the last few weeks. All of the gains have been over the past fortnight

Even so that's a very good return over that time period the s&p 500 so far YTD has made 18.7% which is considered above normal and a decent return. So to have over double that is extremely good.

I haven't done any research into uranium but I will do so over the weekend. Does it really have a long term future? I thought everything was moving to green and renewables. Nuclear is seen as bad by the hippies I thought. Or am I missing something? I know it's cleaner than some other fossil fuels and can provide a lot of power over a good time frame but not something I've heard being mentioned as the future of power generation and I work closely with the energy industry albeit none of my customers are into nuclear. More renewable and traditional oil and gas.

Or is this other countries driving demand with companies based abroad and not trading in the UK that's why it's not on my radar?

My best performers (above 20%) are AMD, NVidia, Focusrite, Future and Morrisons

That again without the context of all your other stocks doesn't really mean anything.

As an example. I could say my best performer is up 600% for the year. But I only have £5 in it and then I invested £5000 in another stock which is down 85%.

So in reality I'm down 85% even though my best performer is up 600%.

As you can see without the full picture anyone could appear to have beaten the market.

Not being anal at all but judging performance cannot be done properly without judging the portfolio as a whole and over a fixed period of time Vs the usual market measures.

I'm up 38% across my total stocks and shares portfolio since April (start of tax year). However I have been DCA so I didn't have it all invested in April which has an effect on the performance overall. See without that context you cannot really tell how good the performance is or not. I'm hoping by the end of the tax year to be up 60% so long as this bubble doesn't burst and take the good out majorly with the bad.

I'm going to assume by the passive aggressive reply that your other picks aren't doing too well then? Otherwise you should be willing to post the percentage as you did with your top winning picks.

It would be interesting to know who the biggest losers are just in case there is a buy opportunity out there on something that has went down.

Catching a falling knife so to speak.

Erm, I'll happily hold my hand up and say I'm not the brightest person in this thread, but, EZJ right issue..

You can buy a maximum of 31 new shares for every 47 shares you held at the end of 10 September 2021, at a fixed price of 410p each.

Yet EZJ's price is currently ~170p..
It does seem mildly odd that anyone would want to buy shares for over double what the going rate is...

Rights Issue being done my friend - hence the drop. I just hope IAG doesn't go down the same route where I have some interest.
