It's you that needs to stop buy cheap **** from China...
My Chinese made Apple computers are more than fine.
It's like going to tescos and buying the blue label version of the food, then saying all food from tescos is ****.
Kids in China aspire to be engineers and doctors. Kids in the West aspire to be tiktokers.

You prefer "its gone up should I sell" or "its gone down should I sell" ?
I dunno man, I suspect we'll all be dead by the time that becomes a question.
I should have been more greedy last week and purchased more stock in these areas.
last weeks trade ( individual shares ) was just short of 9 k not flexing as I am not far of minimum wage it's amazing how you just.start seeing numbers not real money , will hopefully post some screenshots if things go ok , otherwise it's added to long term.
Btw how about my morning prediction, didn't take long but it was just so obvious as was last week,
It is the sock market....
They will come up with a few more.
There’s no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid people asking questions…
But to give him his dues, he is asking so that he knows about it…
I don’t know the first thing about DIY, if I want to do something.. I Google it… watch YouTube… Call my brother then call my brother in law to confirm…. Then I either attempt it myself or get my credit card out and book someone in to do it.. lol
I still need to know about it, to make sure it was done correctly.
Afterwards, I call my brother and my brother in law to confirm it.. lol..
I have a list of stuff that needs to be done on my house and I keep trying to get my brother in law to come up and project manage it for me.. obviously I’m going to pay him.
I rather be a master of a trade, be that good and get paid well enough to afford to pay others for the stuff I don’t have a clue about.. than a jack of all trades and a master of none.
The dude just needs a financial advisor, once he gets going, he will have the confidence to bin them and manage it himself.
Although chips should rise tomorrow on this last news how about Intel and TI ? , they were adversely effected by their united states origin on Chinas new tariff policy on chips and outsourcing
so maybe they rise anyway if people assume China will match USAs backdown ?

You’re always going to be down the moment you buy on any platform due to the spread.
The price you buy is higher than the price you can sell, and the difference is how the market makers (platforms) make their money, especially now when you have fee-free platforms like T212.
The size of the spread can fluctuate almost as much as the share price (depending on the instrument) and usually the less volume there is for any given instrument, the wider the spread.
I mean this in the nicest possible way; if you can’t deal with the mental impact of losing £200, you’d be better off sticking it in your cash ISA and forgetting about S&S.
The headline average gains of “10% per year” in the stock market are very appealing but don’t tell the full story of the ups and downs that result in that average. If you want the highs, you have to accept the lows and if you can’t accept the thought of the lows, you’re better off accepting a lower but guaranteed return in a regular savings account.
Trump to make announcement on Monday about exemptions. My understanding is that they will still have tariffs but not the reciprocal tariffs from Liberation Day.
Bah, I was looking at punting some cash into Microsoft and a couple other tech plays the other day. Was just giving it another week to fester and see if Trump borked the markets more as I have a habit of jumping in too soon and things fall off a cliff, not this time haha!
If it's any consolation I think the only people making serious bank in this current situation are insider traders.. It's impossible to time unless you are the ones controlling the timing of the tariff announcements
Yea if you know exactly when to bet you'd be making millions.
I can see people going to prison for this eventually. After Trump's term.
With crypto everyone can see when Trump is buying and selling as transactions are part of the Blockchain and publicly viewable. It's a shame stocks aren't the same..

Forgive my ignorance. With events like this at the weekend usually by market open the price has already gone up to its max, how does this happen? There's no premarket trading over the weekend is there? The big players have bought up everything instantly it seems.
