Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

[200sols]

Yeh i think it did but I didn't know what I was doing, clearly!

I doubt you'll regret it long term anyway.. try not to think of these ETFs as short term trading instruments.

Yeah to be fair it will be a long term thing, so I'm not too upset - would have been nice to start my journey in the green, but as they say:

Time in the market beats trying to time the market.

Just trying to find my feet a bit, before I put larger amounts of money in... I probably shouldn'y have started in the middle of a trade war, but there we are

That that @DJMK4 is a perfect example of why you need to be cautious

It would be good for @DJMK4 to watch this as part of learning about investing.

I might have mentioned it.

Don’t suppose there’s any point putting a market order in for VWRP now - it will jump at open and the order will execute at the higher price with no chance of any gains.

145% tariffs now on China lol

 

[Efour]

Nasdaq selling off. and 145% tariffs doesn't help . Interesting to see where ill be in 1h.

It's all tanking again now.

Always seems to move when London is shut, dunno why, but it prevents those with uk/eu etfs from reacting, so feels deliberate.

100 % agree. As soon as the EU/London closes the **** hits the fan. Honestly i had already thought of this over the past week.

There's always a reason not to buy. Just have to zoom out.

About the time when Trump does his first tweet of the day

It's all tanking again now.

All his inner circle probably sold yesterday when trading ended.

Everything in the red again for me. Was good to see some greens on there, notably AMD.

100% agreed. Trump's actions/social media posts are definitely timed to screw EU/UK/ROW ; on the other hand it provides a big enough window for those on the "inside" to get their deals done.

Thanks I'll have a watch

 

[Mysterae_]

It's not manipulation, it's Trumpification. A whole new level of idiocracy.

 

[DJMK4]

He has sold his newly purchased BMW 4 series, to invest in the markets

No I haven't

The graphs look weird..if I extend the s&p500 to max it looks like it's still dropping. But then it says market close green

If I put money on to it is it going to go down a lot more then go up

 

[tamzzy]

No I haven't

that was probably in jest lol

If I put money on to it is it going to go down a lot more then go up

nobody knows

jest aside, @DJMK4 if the money you want to invest isn't needed then just stick it into an index fund and forget about it for the next 5+ years

Nobody knows. If you wait ten years it'll be higher though. Possibly.
