Thought pelton were dead in the water?Why buy a stock during a big move which already happened, the risk reward is not there.
Look at Peloton currently.
Already at lows, momentum is now building, above some key moving averages.
You have an entry and easy stop loss points to come out.

Everything is going pretty well I have to say so far.
Quantum stocks pulled back a little.
Not enough to sell and not enough to buy though.
Nothing really on my radar at the moment. Bit disappointed with duoligo. I'm flat on (-2 percent) That. But had the chance to sell Out at 80 percent up. Didn't see the threat FROM AI that dragged it down.

We shall see, for me it looks a great oppourtunity.
It'll rise soon. Every winter when it gets cold outside and the gym bunnies have to come inside their subs go up a bit.

I have been following this thread for a while and considering dipping my toes in with a small amount of money to try it
For those of you using the Trading 212 app, which type of account do you use?
Invest, CFD or Stocks ISA?
I am still reading and trying to digest information about how it all works, so not quite ready to commit money, but will likely take the plunge soon

stocks ISA if you don't want to worry about paying any taxes or having to declare anything on a self assessment.
Some stocks will be view only because they don't meet ISA requirements but the majority are there to buy.
My advice, buy and hold don't try day trading rubbish and don't buy a stock purely because you use it's products.

Seems kind of worrying for the gaming market that EA of all companies is getting bought out.

i think it depends, it might be to reduce pressure from investors to create crap and save its future long term.

Cheers
Is there a minimum amount that people suggest starting with, for example would £50 be a start and then add to it monthly, or would it be better to start with a bigger first deposit into an account
Just trying to get an idea as I have an old cash ISA sitting with just a couple hundred quid in it that I might just transfer over and then set up a monthly transfer to add to it
start with as little as you like, the minimum of most if not all stocks you can buy should be £1
no reason to put more cash in than needed, unless its sat in a current account earning 0 interest
4.05% for cash balance in a stocks ISA with 212 (uninvested funds in the account)
so 900 uninvested would be earning 10p a day.

If he isn't investing much and not triggering taxation, is the ISA going to be best for him? Aren't there additional charges for the ISA?
No charges. The only downside is not all shares are available to buy in an ISA but that's basically irrelevant unless you're a full on trader

Probably at least £300 if you have it, to make it worth your time.
Also, if you are just starting out, go for some lower risk stocks and be careful about following the degenerate day trading going on here, as you can quickly lose a lot of money that way too!

this strategy is basically DCA Dollar Cost Average in. its a legit strategy of investing and can help smooth things out.
start small untill you get a feel for it.
remember the key point :
only invest what your prepared to lose
dont over invest i.e. dont put more in than you can afford.
its only a loss if you sell.. so HOLD unless you know your on a losser..

Example of relatively safe long term hold for newbie = Big Yellow Group plc
It's self storage, that's not going out of fashion, it makes recurring revenues from people, 4.83% dividend yield. You'd be buying it for the yield. Might need to time your entry point though, as historic share price performance variable.

What sites are people looking at to get share tips? Thanks.
Sign up to my tips page - definitelynotcashinginonreferrals.com
(I use IG and whatever T212 throw at me)
Don't pay for tips.
it's not like they are going to change to private ownership split between 3 investment firms and then
sack all the suits who don't play games.
hire about 500-1000 devs full time all under the same roof.
get them working on A or AA games in teams of 20-100 people.
any big success deserves a triple AAA sequel, no more than 3 sequels and then any IP is dead locked away for at least 10 years.
they'll do the same crap but now but monetise it even further if possible.
