Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

Buying high typically does not lead to those returns. In this context timing is everything.

A 9month decline is but a blip, it’s erased all that. A double top and deeper fall is very possible though. I just buy the ftse all world like ever.

I prefer time in the market rather than timing the market. Over long periods it gives you good returns. 9.6 months is the average bear market time. They are much shorter than bull markets. I also go for the ftse all world.

I don’t know what 2024 will bring but I’ll keep buying up or down.

Vanguard Asset Management | Personal Investing in the UK

You may be able to find this tracker on other platforms and the overall cost maybe cheaper depending on the amount you're investing.

I think this is the black rock version:

iShares Core MSCI World UCITS ETF | IWDG | Hedged

The Fund seeks to track the performance of an index composed of companies from developed countries.

My punt for the year starting well, Atai. Been chipping away putting more including this morning. May just YOLO all my trading cash into it.

A good friend of mine that has struggled with depression his whole life tried shrooms last year and it's been a life-changer for him. Seems like a big movement gaining momentum after the moral panic hysteria of the 60s.

It's down 90% since it listed?
 
I think this year I am pretty much going to focus on the chip makers, more so AMD, ARM and Intel. This could all blow up in my face if Whinnie the pooh decided to invade Taiwan but I think we would have bigger problems if that happens.
 
I think it’s time for me to drop tescos.. I’m about 18% up on it, it’s hit its average target market price forecasts from 3 months ago (295). I was going to wait for the new target forecast price of 325, as the Christmas sales reports are sending the share price up. But I want to liquidate the account ready for April when I open a second stock and shares isa.
 
Yep I guess I'll be hemorrhaging my gains from the past few months over the next week. I hope this free fall is short and sharp.
 
For anyone interested

The top and bottom funds last year

Last year was one of two dominating themes: the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and the huge disappointment of China.

Indeed, data from FE Analytics confirms this, with the IA Technology & Technology Innovation sector as the best of the year, returning 39.2% in 2023, while the IA China/Greater China ended the year with -20.4%, the clear loser of 2023.

Ben Yearsley, director of Fairview Investing, said that these were the only two stories in 2023 that investors needed to pay attention to.

“Tech was great, China dreadful. In what was a surprise to many, the never-never rally of a few years ago has reappeared with Nasdaq reaching an all-time high. This happened despite 5% interest rates,” he said.

“Its return was driven by AI – well not literally driven by AI, although how long before we have fully AI-driven investment funds?”

But at fund level, the top funds didn’t belong to this group – they were all focused on cryptocurrencies. Many were exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the IA Unclassified or IA Global sector.

Having some remarkably good luck timing trades recently. Not selling whole holdings, just taking a slice off when things go my way and keep a bit of cash around for buying opportunities. Sold a chunk of lucid when it was up at 5.something.

Shifted stuff around for a modest YOLO into Atai yesterday, now 30% of my holdings, and they announced a new investment this morning that sent it popping again.
