ignored radderfire about a year ago for every post being about bitcoin, uncovered the ignored post to see he's still at it, lmao broken record buddy, merry christmas.

Every single post mentions btc

To be fair though.
My coinbase buy has been in my top 3 this year.

Up exactly 50pc at time of this post.

I cba with the tax issues of trading crypto. So coinbase allows me to sort of buy into the whole market inside my isa wrapper.

I am sticking in S&P 500 for the foreseeable.

Aye. I'm wanting to sack off LS and reinvest into SP500 but as of right now, it will be like robbing Peter to pay Paul. I wish I could understand the rhymes and reasons better for this this current upward trajectory across the boards to judge the jump!

I'm all in on VHVG in my ISA and Pension fund. Saves a fair chunk on fees compared to a lot of the other funds in Vanguard with almost the same holdings.

anyone track the Russell 1000/2000? I'm thinking it could be a good one as it tracks companies that are just outside of the s&p 500, and if they make it into the s&p 500, that's when other ETFs and bots starts to invest in them. on the flip side that's where companys that fall outside the s&p 500 losing investments from ETFs and bots... lol..

If only I knew which companies are joing the s&p 500 ahead of time.. lol

Recovering some earlier losses that's all.

If you had bought in January, you would now be 153% up, "that's all". :cry:

Would be interesting to see how many new investors have joined BtC or is a case of the same diamond hands pumping more cash into it...

As with all investments, timing the market is important, and you can't argue with the stellar performance for the year.

For anyone that bought in at the all time high in Nov 2021, it looks likely Bitcoin will push through that in 2024, with the backdrop of more money printing by the FED, and approval of Bitcoin ETFs. 2024 should be another good year for Bitcoin.

Money printing... we'll see.

Timing the market is really easy....

...in hindsight.

The thing is with Bitcoin, you don't really need to time the market if you are a long term investor, you can just accummulate. This is because its core principle is that it will be a limited supply asset. Yes there is regulatory risk to Bitcoin, but this is diminishing as it gets bigger. Also, big investment companies like Blackrock and Fidelity are now looking to get into Bitcoin. At its core Bitcoin is a simple principle, limited supply money. It could be argued that there are less risks to holding Bitcoin than holding a share, where over time a lot of operational risks can be encountered.

This thread isn't about Bitcoin though.

I don't see there being much scope to reduce interest rates, when they have just returned to the historical average

Historical is relative.

CCL has (at time of writing) just popped up as my biggest gain this year.

60pc from a buy in may time

Looks like they've had a sharp increase on his set of results
