Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

VWRP is 19% technology. Vanguard is very cheap, the FTSE is fine for a tracker. Also UK outperformance has been a theme this whole year, my take is other markets require more active trading because they both rise and right now fall more.
Less then half the losses for FTSE vs Nasdaq

vanguard only charge a fee if a live trade is carried out £7.50 .otherwise its pooled together with other investors and dealt at a certain time in the trading day edit /twice a day
edit/ obviously a bid /offer spread also
copy/paste........
ETFs
These are traded twice a day using our bulk dealing service. Alternatively you can buy and sell them in real time using our quote and deal service between 8.30am and 4.30pm. This comes at a cost of £7.50 per trade.

I'll never understand the markets, hence why I stick to index funds, but why would the S & P jump a couple of % on news of interest rate rises? I would have thought it would go the other way...

Ditto. I heard the news and tentatively logged into my trading account expecting a sea of red — everything’s up. :shrug:

Maybe the market was expecting a higher rise so this is seen as a positive indicator…

They usually rise or dip on whether the interest rate rise is above or below the expectations which has already been priced in. i.e. if the rate rise is 100pts instead of the expected 75 then the market will dip and vice versa.

0.75 was expected and markets are doing a 'brief' relief rally. It will be back down tomorrow
 
it doesn't make sense to me either, not going anywhere near it yet, obviously being manipulated

It makes perfect sense. Market had already priced in 0.75 and an aggressive hiking policy, maybe the tone has softened? Also markets often rally when the news is what they had been expecting after selling off in the run up to the event, you will also see the dollar has been sold when convention would tell you a .75% hike would cause a rally. I don't think its sustainable but it certainly isn't surprising, earnings have not been as bad as feared either which has helped the markets this week.

theres no meeting next month as well so no rise next month
 
Nice to see that the definition of recession is being changed, apparently the National Bureau of Economic Research basically a private company determines if the USA is in a recession. They are doing everything possible to deny a recession even though it is in plain sight.

I invest every month regardless, so it means nothing to me. I welcome a bit of green today. One of my apps (BUX) portfolios is now POSITIVE for this year by 6.5% which is a real bonus. T212 is still hovering about 10% down and tech stocks really hammered me there, but I have limited it with DCAing. I'm now positive on my Vanguard S&P positions as well thanks to continuing to buy on sale.

I've been accumulating ROSE coins too. I spoke to them about a CPO role last year and know they're building some cool stuff. Before crypto went down loads, they hit an ATH of 0.65c - I picked up about 15-20k of them at 0.04c. They hit 0.065c today, so a nice 25% gain. If they reach anywhere near the ATH in future bull runs, which I very much believe they can, I'll have done very well.
