Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

Might trade my all world ETF for a UK only one. Cut out the US for now. It's getting hammered because of US tech.

It's all so interconnected though.. I've got about 70% VWRP and about 30% VEUA which is essentially like S&p500 but only for Europe and UK.

VWRP is down 1.4% today as its very USA tech heavy.
VEUA down about 0.7%

At the time of writing...

So whilst not as big a drop, it's still a drop.

And let's be honest... Up to 2% per day plus or minus is basically just normal churn when it comes to ETFs.

Its more if it's consistent. And accelerating.
 
Indeed. It’s rather interesting watching what people type then seeing how different their posts are a few weeks later.

Rising boats in a high tide and all that…

I'm just a superstar trader I'll have you know.

Yep..
Technically I've lost £1300 In the last week.
But I'm still up up about £4.5k since April despite the 'loss'.

I'd rather have more profit but it's still just looking like normal market churn to me

The interesting thing about the Musk wages is that at this point he is so rich that you could offer him $100T, and it wouldn't matter. Money at this point is not an incentive to him.

If they (the board/shareholders) think that poentially missing out on the $1T is going to make him NOT make decisions that he otherwise would, they are wrong.
He's a narcissist. He wants to be the first trillionaire so badly. While he doesn't need the money, he craves the prestige.

What you have to remember with the 'its crashing' brigade is they are usually wrong. An actual crash is a very rare thing, a 10-20% fall and then resume higher is more likely but still not common.

Also remember they are often into very volatile stocks so their perceptions of the market are very much skewed.

All you can be sure if you invest is at some point you will see large falls but neither you nor the others can predict it so it's all just noise.

Hes a fragile little man much like his pal Trump. His ego needs constant stroking and validation.

totes... it's not a crash until governments start bailing out private banks with public tax rises.

Saying ‘lost’ is the whole issue here. You haven’t lost anything

Human thinking means missed gains are far more thought consuming than the ridiculous gains people have made for nothing other than buying anything over the last year.

Losing on a share is far more common in ‘normal times’ but people now seem to think it’s a rare occurrence

Well indeed ..I'd be posting "crash 111!!!!" 20 times per Day if I was looking at 0.5 percent fluctualtions.

Equaly, people buying individual stocks rather than funds, well, it come with the territory to experience large swings?

Zoom out as they say.

S&P's still up 11% in a year so why the panic?

If you can keep your head when all about you. Are losing theirs

I think revisiting previous prices and now we think its a Bear, its kinda funny thing that always happens. Reminds me of a classic cartoon:

never knew it was so written about in depth, I just liked Tigger :p

 
Or...

Lve lost an entire year's profits...
Or
I've lost an entire year's time investigating..

These are completely valid things to say it's weird you won't see it like this. I guess its part of a risk coping mindset. Obviously it has to do either scales and long or short term outlooks.

I've personally swung over half a million Kronor this year and its gut wrenching.
I hopelessly exposed to us tech :p

It's still fun money at this stage but it's been a nasty year.
