Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

Markets don't like uncertainty and Trump is proving so unpredictable. There is no reason to assume he has any clue what he is doing.or what impact his actions might have on global markets. Most economies are precariously positioned in terms of inflation, growth and debt burden. It could easily all go Pete Tong.
One thing is for sure, The Donald is gonna hate if there is a crash a month into his presidency

It's the potential for USA to lose Europe over time as a customer.
Its the potential for Europe to be plunged into spending money on defense.
Its the stoking of inflation by tariffs.
So many unknowns + so many over valued companies
Not surprised
Europe is being faced with having to rethink it's relationship with American companies. Even the thought of that is going to ripple around.

This soon into his term we all know he'd just blame it on Biden and enough will believe him to have the desired effect, probably.

Volatility and uncertainty is good if you can hold your nerve...
Think forrest gump, no one wants to go fishing when the storms were out, but those who did caught many shrimps.
for the past few months, I've been buying ETFs and each month I've been getting less and less shares per month as the price went up.
now that it's volatile, there's a possibility that my monthly purchase is at a cheaper price... but really.. I'm 21%, 12.6% and 106% up on three of my accounts for the last 12 months.

Yeah next week will be an interesting ride. The Trump volatility is only just starting, not sure the markets are going to take kindly to his tariffs and tantrums.

Had 2 great weeks followed by this week which wiped them all nearly out. Nature of the game. Big earnings week next week, hopefully some good news to regain some of the loss

I’m still 10% up this year but the last couple of weeks wiped out 3 months worth. Some stocks I have money in are higher risk so they fluctuate massively. I may get out of them if it recovers enough next week and park them for a while to see how orange man and so on carry on.

Indices are like 2% off their all time highs and I'm seeing so much panic
yeah - don't get it at all. Unless people have a need for the money soon or have an unbelievable ability to time the markets perfectly... Stay invested.
Has your timescales on the investment changed?
Has you attitude to risk changed?
Has your situation financially changed?
Has the investment you made fundamentally changed? (bad results, profit warnings etc)
If no to the above - why are you selling? You invested in that company / fund / EFT for a reason - if that reason hasn't change... Why sell?
(EDIT - I know why people sell, psychology and all that - I've dealt with it for 25 years in financial services and clients I deal with - but this is what I always ask.... What has changed to suddenly make you want to sell)

Yep, I got some in Nvidia before that. Even that went down quite a bit on Friday though
You know that just before earnings report is the worst time to buy, unless you have been averaging in…
It’s just basically a gamble, it can go up or down.. sometimes by a little.. sometimes by a lot. The people who has access to the reports and in some cases a rough idea of the report outcome are subject to market blackout to stop insider trading.
The world has changed though.
I think its perfectly reasonable to sell right now.
Uncertainty is sky high.
Maybe you invested in nvidia due to the demand for data centres world wide. Now you don't know what tariffs might be placed on them even tomorrow.
So much has changed.
Folks, is HL that bad? Some of you mentioned theyre very expensive, can you break it down for in terms of a comparison between say T212 and HL?
Reading about T212 and this lark about beneficiary owner, I know theyre regulate and all the rest of it, but just doesnt sound "right".
Overreaction?

This is my general thoughts, market is very high right now, uncertainty is massive with Trump basically greenlighting Russia and perhaps China to be more aggressive. US isolationism/tariffs are going to be an issue.
I don't think I'm going to miss much by sitting in cash for a few months.

HL fee structure means you pay different fees depending what you invest in.
Stocks/ETFs have a limit (look it up as it differs by account).
Funds are a percentage without a limit, so massive fees potentially.
