Great idea!
Thinking of subscribing to one of the share research sites. Have used trial periods of both Simply Wall Street and Stockopedia. Anyone use either of these?
Also is it worth following investors? Found a site called Johns Investment Chronicles. Thinking it might be worth a punt to help choose companies.

I give up....
Be honest with yourself - Do you REALLY need to be investing in individual company shares? OR, should you invest in funds/eft's etc and let the managers/experts do that for you for a small fee.....
Might not be as "exciting" but I bet long term it's better for most people.

This, when I was furloughed I didn't mind spending hours a day looking at companies, but now I'm slowly pulling all my shares and putting them into a fund, as you say, less exciting but certainly easier and I can just let it do its thing.
Scottish Mortgage Trust - 0.34% ongoing fee.
1 year - 51%
3 years - 216%
5 years - 357%
10 years - 1166%
31st October 2021 figures.
Got about 20% of my pension portfolio in here - utter no brainer. No way I have the time OR the interest in trying to find stocks/shares/companies that will do better than that.
Just one simple example of why most people would save themselves time/hassle and effort and make a better return.
If you have a real passion for investing/trading etc - go for it. Knock yourself out. But as I said before - 95% of people who "think" they can do better/make more - would be better served investing in funds/eft's etc.
This is NOT a recommendation, not should it be taken as advice. It's a very simple example of other options for people to consider.

I would say those sites are quite good for combining all data on a company in one place rather than looking around for various figures, or confirming something you already thing etc, but i wouldn't put much stock (haha!) into it other than that.

Don't do that
Thanks but I've done reasonably well from single Co shares so far. I'm interested in people's opinions on what platforms they use for company research. Also, it's been mentioned on here following certain professional investors. Again, looking for opinions. I personally have an aversion to following specific fund managers as it never seems to end well. Was wondering if that is the same for share traders.
Thank you Martynt74 I'm going to stick with stockopedia
Personally I would, there's enough money to go around and I've got no problem sharing the wealth, as long as its not my wealth, because I don't have any lol
Yeah i'm not sure i buy that logic either. People enjoy different things and maybe those people do it as a hobby and enjoy the writing of articles etc and sharing their thoughts.
There used to be a guy i followed who did similar with regards to betting. He seemed to have built up a decent fortune at a young age and sold tips on a subscription basis, and i made a decent chunk from following him. He probably didn't need a few dozen or so people paying him £10 a month, but he did it anyway.

I made 300% on a crypto coin I invested inside 40 days or so.
It's a long term hold too not a pump and dump coin which pays me 10% Apr too. So you can think of the compounded gains and interest.
I was obviously tempted to sell my entire stock portfolio but decided to stick with it even though it's been stagnant for a while.
Major holding being KISTOS. Which as you all know has given me 100% so far inside 6 months.
@dLockers thungela has been affected by many short term things. Trains in the country being disrupted. Border issues at China. People stealing vital cabling. Coal prices being manipulated by China and then cop26.
The world especially China and India will be using coal for a long time yet.
Either hold or DCA to lower your buy in. They promised a juicy dividend so I'd also wait for that it should pump right before it's announced.

First part of the above post made me think your account had been compromised
Is there a way to move shares between platforms? I started using T212 as a shorter term gamble style account and have an ISA with Fidelity for longer holds.
However recently i've had more money in my T212 platform than i ever intended, and now have some largish holdings in there that i'd prefer to keep long term. I also ended up with some shares in both platforms which feels very disjointed.
I know i can sell and then re-buy in the other, but that opens up slightly to risk. Vodafone is an example which shot up around 5% the other day. Only thing i can think of is to have a lump sum and then buy the shares in Fidelity, wait for it to go through and then sell in T212, wait for it to go through, withdraw the cash, put it into Fidelity and rinse/repeat. However that feels like it's a lot of hassle and makes me question whether to just leave it in each platform.
For the record the amount's aren't huge (maybe <2000 per holding), so no fears around Tax planning needed as i'm under the £20k threshold either way.

I don't think 212 lets people transfer shares unless it changed recently.
try asking on the reddit subforum maybe if you have a reddit account and want a proper answer fast
have you seen the bots that talk to each other on the stock videos on youtube? it's getting crazy hard to spot them until you see the same conversation played out on multiple videos
I bet loads of people are getting scammed
