TSLA going up again, S&P500 on the horizon, could be another push upwards.
Not far from crossing the 100% gains barrier on my Tesla holding. And even I wasn't early on the train, buying in Jan and topping up in Feb. Every time I think it's topped out it keeps going. No complaints of course other than the hindsight of wishing I'd put everything in to it back in Jan... preferably the cost of my Model 3...
Hi there
Not traded for years, used to use NatWest but seems they don’t do it any more.
What is a good trading platform these days that is easy to use and let’s you invest and sell in real-time please with little to no delays. Also be good if software also allowed virtual trading too as was something NatWest did which was good for tracking potential shares of interest.

IG is broadly better than HL if you are buying shares or ETFs rather than investment funds and has all of those features.Hi there

Sorry to read about the woes at Upper Crust, but as a Greggs’ share holder, not so sad at all.
If everyone did that then they wouldn't sell muchJust had a bit of a brain fart, but starting to think it’s not such a bad idea.
During pre Covid times, I would regularly head out with colleagues and have say a Costa/Greggs/Pret/Subway/KFC/Sainsbury’s/Starbucks meal deal and so on. Purely down to convenience than anything else.
Now how dies this relate to this thread?
Well I’m thinking of starting a competition with colleagues. Each time we avoid eating out for lunch, and make our own, we drip the cash saved into the equivalent share. Each day we would appoint a certain store/chain.
I can't see these food outlets doing well, their business depends on high footfall. People queuing means they can only serve a limited number of customers and also put some people off. Another thing is some people seem to be extra cautious now and visit these places less. I pass by a McDonalds yesterday expecting it to be busy, but it was dead. Until a new method is created to quickly and safely serve customers, their turnover is will stuffer.
Yep . I never held at the price I originally bought and then bought back near the bottom, which I'm not in anyway going to call skill. Managed to trade it a few times although I lost out a little when I sold about halfway back up and had to buy back a little higher (not much) when my predicted downturn was invalidated.Pftt.. TSLA now up to $1131. @DarrenM343 you still in?
Just be ware of the additional risks of this. Costs mount for example (currency conversion notably). The main reason I traded Tesla rather than just holding was due to market conditions. When I bought near the bottom I was initially expecting a dead cat bounce. I never thought it would reach a new ATH this soon given what has happened and is still happening in the world. It all feels like prolonged bear market conditions...I'd be tempted to sell my original stake in Tesla when I pass 100% but then I don't know what I'd reinvest that in other than Tesla. My portfolio is already diverse enough.
I guess I could use part of it to day trade Tesla instead.
