Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

Definitely a huge victory for Trump this. He took brave action against his allies, it was very courageous. Now we must all rally behind our American friends in their fight against Ch-iiina.

All the naysayers suggesting market manipulation - go back to your own irrelevant countries! It all worked out as intended.

Correction is a massive overreaction. Still got 100% China tariffs, 25% on Canada and Mexico, and 10% everywhere else. 25% on cars.

He's going to get away with the obvious market manipulation, and just start tweeting out nonsense to move things and make bank.

Hats off to the guys that managed to navigate this lunacy and made bank. I've managed to scoop a little extra on this but I'm hopeful for another bump when the UK markets open on the SP500 climb.

I didn't buy the dip, but didn't sell it either. I'm just a few % down on my limited holding as I'd just started trickling back in before Liberation Day :rolleyes:

I'm pretty confident there will be more buyin opportunities. Plus hopefully I'll have a job again soon and I can afford to take more risks :p

what areas of the stocks do you know or work in? retail? IT? Food? try considering these when review stock purchase as its areas you'll better understand

I work in IT networking

I tried to use the trading 212 practise account to buy some.stocks on some tech companies a few months back , thought I was buying on a downturn but in reality I wasn't really making any money back when I put say £200 down or.£500 down

I have no idea

I want to have a play around with investing maybe £100-200 first then when I feel confident I'm.not going to lose that I'll put more


This is why I was looking at s&p 500 so it spreads it across companies

Well I lost my balls last week and moved a chunk of my SP500 in to MMF, so that missed the last 24hrs nonsense but fortunately had a significant amount available in a cash isa I could move across and at least get a taste of the dotard's latest strategy.

The simple fact is that most people that trade individual stocks lose money. I have lost money overall the past couple of years, mostly because of one or two risky plays that didn't work out. I'm getting better though and more and more of my trades are working out, mainly through following the old adage of 'be bold when others are fearful, and fearful when others are bold', or however it goes. Basically, buy dips, sell sudden peaks, take profits, don't panic sell.

I'm fortunate enough to be pretty well off and could afford to lose everything I have invested. Don't invest money you can't afford to lose, because it will put you in positions that will force you to liquidate losses.

Putting a fixed amount into an S&P tracker every month historically always pays off in the long run. Although history didn't include the US committing economic suicide (not for a while anyway).

Look at S&P history. Drip feed in every month into a tracker and you’ll be absolutely fine but remember you have to think long term minimum 10 years.
