Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

I'm down 27% at the minute, everything is red apart from TGA, the way I look at it, its not a real loss until I withdraw it, its just in a state of flux due to how **** things are globally..

Big bounce this morning....half tempted to cash it and wait for the next plunge

It almost feels like a bunch of people are unloading, then waiting for the gaps to fill and unloading again for the last few weeks.
especially in the USA markets, I doubt it will stop any time soon.

I think the feds were supposed to stop printing money by/in march, then everyone has rising utilities/petrol/commodity prices.
companies bottom lines will likely be hit hard, probably more shortages in some areas.
some companies are probably around the bottom already but most probably could fall a lot imo.

Green energy is spiking again, probably into a bubble that will pop almost as soon as the war is over if not before, most of the green energy ETF seem to just be utility companies anyway and not exactly the energy creators
 
I just sold up, 7% bounce on SMT today, I needed to move some money around anyway (paid off my student loan today, yay). It's much more relaxing sitting on cash waiting for another drop, than sitting in stocks waiting for the bounce :D
 
Some good news for RR with their small nuclear reactor stuff, still got high hopes for them. Makes me laugh that they refer to it as "small" but it's still the size of 2 football pitches (I guess that is relatively small compared to a traditional nuclear plant, but still :D)
 
Held ezj before the fall. Sold on way down.
Rebought at 450.
I couldn't believe they dropped into 400s.

For me that was absolutely oversold territory. (I understand pressures like fuel price, Russia etc but still feels oversold.

Annoyingly I held far too long into the dip.

Evraz. Such an interesting case study that.
Seen it drop from 250 (price after demerger) all way down to 60. Now around 100!

I believe polymetal is following a similar path.
 
My biggest holding AV have the B share thing coming.

Big payout in cash but I don't like the method they are using.
Get (in cash) X pounds per share you own
All your shares are converted to B shares. In a ratio (hypothetical 0.75 means if 1000 shares owned you'll now own 750)

I believe the idea is the new shares would be worth the same fraction more per share. But this seems to rarely pay out.

Would rather a special div. Or multiple ones
 
slight red on ftse today but yesterday made a nice change ,see what happens late afternoon ,more US cpi results
I have this guy on sometimes ,he posts the newsfeeds live that effect the market ,amazing how one hawkish comment wipes millions off the prices

 
This may be a dumb question , but i don't know enough about this to come to my own conclusion (which is why i've yet to invest anywhere)

I've noticed GOLD, OIL etc , all those that were on a steep climb , have suddenly dipped , yet the conflict is still ongoing. What are the likely reasons for this, could it be those that have made a gain deciding now is a good time to get out?

As mentioned, UAE said they considering upping supply....so a lot of people thought this was a signal we're at the bottom.

I don't think it is, I think we'll see another sharp drop tomorrow as people bail out before the weekend again.

Oh, I hadn't actually looked this afternoon, we're in the red already, below my exit point....holding fire until tomorrow at least.
 
Nearly everything on my watch list is red, stock heat map pretty much the same.

I guess anyone who got out can be glad.

now the question is buy the dip, and expect a bounce on Monday or not, if there is a bounce I expect its short lived yet again.

I'm starting to think some of my watch list has bottomed out from "whatever is already priced in" but then earnings could see that change.

I'm not confident most stocks can match covid earning results, especially with inflation almost 8% in the states, we're probably entering a period where most people won't have much disposable cash too as prices rise.

Recension could hit hard, seems people already are acting like lenders will see defaults soon.

The markets aren't inflation beating, if anything it's the opposite right now and you'd probably be better off with your money in the bank? especially for the year to date.

unless your in and out swing trading.


EDIT: lol click world on the heat map and check China stocks, they are having a really bad day

BTW if anyone is thinking about jumping in energy whilst it's expensive you might find this website useful
https://electricityproduction.uk/plant/ don't forget to click next at the bottom, it's 14 pages

obviously not every company on there is publicly traded, there's a couple of investment trusts though that are listed. or at least one. ( I didn't check that hard)

only up 8% in 3 months.

but you would need to find out if they sold on fixed rate contracts or not, I guess their investor presentations would tell you that.

also gives you a good idea of who the big energy generators are in our country, for if you wanted to invest in an electricity supplier, but that boat probably already sailed.
 
Not making any predictions whatsoever as usually the opposite of what i think will happen happens and anyway i am long term but just had this in my news feed (i was able to read without subscription as in my google feed) though may or may not (Ukraine escalation ) help my global etf
edit /if its old news i didn't check ,blame excess caffeine this morning
