On Trading212, is anyone else getting the error "This instrument is not supported by your account" on login, and then about three quarters of the home screen is blank instead of having graphs?

its possible if you are using an isa account that the instrument do not qualifying to be held in an isa.

Yes it's an ISA ac. It seems like a glitch to me. I did let them know a few days ago but it's still happening.

Between new money, share options, compounding and moving money from savings... the amount I have in the stock market has gone up by 57%

Planning to move in another Cash ISA into a stocks and shares ISA once the fixed period is over, got another share option maturing next year in November and the laddering of my work partnership shares is finally bearing fruit..

Western Digital acquired Sandisk in May 2016. It was then spun out of Western Digital in Feb 2025 and relisted on Nasdaq.

It's very dull just being in mostly cash and a little ETFs and bonds. I might have to YOLO something. Think my plans for the year are settled enough I can up my risk again.

Tips plz.

Nvidia is an obvious one. But you will need to wait for another dip now.

Also defence companies, energy. Maybe quantum computing still.

Why are you mainly in cash? And do the reasons remain?

It’s a waste of time trying to time the market..
