Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

But yeah the last two months been brutal, basically wiped out and lost the whole of last year's gains. Now sitting at -3% compared to the same time last year. From a high of +17% in January:(
 
Geez, we haven't seen any retaliatory tariffs imposed on the US yet, can only assume that will be another hammer blow to them.
 
Dunno, I guess there is a queue system in place with various countries looking for "a chat", so the alternate outcomes are retailiation and negotiation.

Although the utterances from china suggests retailiation is on the cards from them.

It is still a very fluid situation IMO.

I've moved some money out of short term money market funds into cash to have available next week in case things seem to settle down....for a bit !
 
Glad I've got at least 10 years until I retire , not checking my pension until this is all over

Will just keep drip feeding my S&S ISA as well

I do have a decent amount of cash available, not sure whether to pay off some of the mortgage or throw extra into the ISA when we get to the bottom of this dip.... Probably do a bit of both...
 
China just clapped back with a 34% tariffs on US goods. Me buying SP500 yesterday looking like a very bad move.

Entire years' gains gone

I'll be specifically looking at the S&P500 VUSA, could be a very good chance over the coming months it heads towards £70.

Heading towards global recession at this rate. Trumps work.
 
Donald is an utter moron, what are they doing over there. :mad:

I just sold up my entire S&P 500 holding right before that China announcement, got a bit lucky there. Wish I'd done it a week ago. I'm moving back to the UK in 2-3 months and I'd have to sell my S&P holding (only that, because it's in euros and can't be transferred to most British platforms). Wish I locked in the profits a month ago now :rolleyes: Sitting on a big pile of cash now though, if it turns north again I'll try and recover some profit back before I leave in 3 months, otherwise I guess at least I got the cash out before it got worse.

good video above.

I’m targeting NVDA at around 80, and maybe the USD will drop another 5 or 10 percent in weeks or days to come.

If I get it right it’s basically going to be life changing for me as it will sort out my Sipp / retirement

Don't buy stocks in any single companies .

There is usually little value buying portfolios due to the added costs and proven lack of skill beyond simple tracker funds.

I think the first question is how long can you lock away your investments without stressing over short term changes. Can you invest and not need to access the fund for 10+ years?

The worst tariffs don't even start until next week. There's probably a small amount of optimism baked in to current prices, i.e. Trump might back down or other countries might capitulate to his demands.

If this is the start of a global trade war, we aren't anywhere close to the bottom.

Christ alive. It is with almost perverse glee watching the utter meltdown in the markets, especially so as I've see 10k of thousands wiped off my own portfolio!

At what point do the Americans actually act to stop this?!
 
Chinese restrictions on the sale of medium and heavy rare earths to the usa also come into force today.
