for those who are over 80k in the portfolio... how are you dealing with it?
Just let it ride and hope that the platform you are using don't go Sam Bankman-Fried? or do you have it on separate platforms?

What if one of your accounts pearks over the threshold? do you transfer it over to another institutions?

Well you need a long timeframe to analyse what is possible. The discussion was about expected future returns, that doesn't have to mean a meltdown. Its not just me saying it, Goldman, Vanguard etc all have forecasts out indicating what is possible. Anyway the main point was people saying valuation doesn't matter, TLDR = it does.

but not as much as they think.

they probably hate a stock market without crashes, most of their money comes from manipulating it
 
I research who I am putting money with carefully. If I was to go over the protected amount (or even before), I would be opening a second account with someone else. I would not have all my assets with one institution.

For ISA/SIPP's - those using a platform are fine.

Investments are held separately: For instance - AJ Bell acts as a platform, and your investments (like shares and funds) are held in a separate nominee company. This means they are not owned by the company itself and would be protected from creditors if the platform failed.

Are my investments protected if something goes wrong? | AJ Bell

Every so often, you may hear a story of a financial institution shutting down and leaving customers in limbo to get their money back.

it really depends on the platform... for example; t212 is a darkpool... so the shares you hold on it; unless you sign that form; are held for you by t212 on interactive brokers.
Yes they should be ring fenced, but t212 goes belly up it's going to be rather nasty to sort out that mess.

Trading212 is a Ltd company though so it's easy to look at thier finances.

My understanding is Trading212 itself is privately held, but for client assets it's using beneficial ownership which is now pretty common and standard practice. It's also FCA regulated.

Any thoughts on DVLT after this little dip? I was holding out for something closer to $2.50 but I'm tempted to get in now.

I think I might put it on my day-tradeable list.

It's approx 14% off its high today. However, if you look at the last month, it may have further to fall, to around the $2.15 level. It's clearly highly volatile, and the lower you let it fall the higher your chances of a profitable trade.

Nvidia becomes world's first $5tn company

The US chip-maker has rapidly climbed from a niche graphics-chip manufacturer to an AI titan.

Nvidia's value now exceeds the GDP of every country except the US and China, according to data from the World Bank, and is higher than entire sectors of the S&P 500.

As long as people don't question how they're making money when they're effectively selling their product at a massive discount with all their investments into companies which then give that investment money back to Nvidia in the form of purchases

Continuing to drop. I'll be keeping an eye on this over the next few days/weeks.

Lets face it most people are day trading in a market that is like a snowball rolling uphill. You could throw darts and win in this game, although a few in here manage to fail :p:cool:(Diddums)

I'm not really day trading to be fair, as I have an actual job that requires attention. That's something that just isn't compatible with with me playing around in stockmarket hours lol.

a few more grey hairs but i am still on this one ,i think 2.50 is a support but i ended up with some more last night but that drop also gave me a reality check ,still a very big buffer but having no 24/5 trading i feel very exposed in the wee hours

Yep lack of 24/5 trading is a worry.

yep i had a long covo with workmates (one lost 10k on cfd,s) one of them suggested pulling out my original stake in dvlt and letting the rest run ,fair point even though the second i sell it takes off probably

I have (as most people have ) done very well with long term investments this year, buoyed by my success I thought I would allocate £400 to a bit of day trading fun last week..... after a comical week of predicting almost without fail the opposite of what the market did, this week the remaining £245 got invested in VWRP.
