Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

Jesus tech is a rollercoaster.
I don't think I can bare/bear to check on Monday. Pretty sure it'll be the biggest single day loss I've ever seen...

AMD hammered
INTC broke its back.
NVDA probably is about to pull everything down

Interesting to see some tickers were trying to resist and almost going sideways.
Makes me wonder if the bottom is almost in for some areas of the market

I wouldn't hold my breath though.


probably going to be a whole year of trouble.

So Netflix, I’ve been holding a good amount and was 49% up. They smashed it out of the water yesterday with their results, but because they’re not going to publish subscriber numbers from 2025, they tanked 10%

I know it’s a bit nuts, but fundamentally they are just doing very well with growing revenue, growing profits and growing subscriber base.

So I topped up big time.
My take on it was those new subscribers were mostly in low cost countries. Not sure of exact terminology but they are also going to stop revenue per user i think. Lower price subscriptions would drag it down.

Tbh they are raking in profits and I cashed out bit early at $560 but I had bought near lows and tripled holding in just over a year. Wish I had more on it though.

Think Netflix will be fine.

Paramount I have been buying lately, hoping to recover my pig of LUNR buy.

Gamble on hopefully Sony/Appollo deal goes through and not Skydance deal.

I wanted to quit whilst ahead with my GE shares bought through the company. Turns out I misunderstood how things worked when we were sold by GE to the current company that owns us. My shares came out of the SIP scheme (tax free to sell) and went into a vested account (subject to capital gains). I only found this out post April 5th so missed out on last years £6k capital gains limit which would have almost been enough to cover my gains. Epic fail. I could only sell up £6500 of my stock which saw me hit £2900 cap gains. I'm now left with 42 or so GE Aviation share in that account. Just have to hope they hold their price for when I can sell next year now. I'm a bit annoyed with myself over this one.
 
Bought some meta on the dive.
Got some are 410.
Didnt really understand the drop. Felt like classic drop after results for no good reason then bounce back.

The forward guidance was below expectation. It may come back a bit but those things can suppress for a while depending on how overvalued it is based on the new guidance.
 
did every stock in the world follow the exact same pattern again? #rigged

they should have 2 stock markets one for the institutions and separate one for retail investors :P

All stocks are operating in the same context and react to the same external events. I don't know why you continue to be confused by this.

SIPs are great as long as the company does ok or better. Not sure what yours is like.. but with mine being pre-tax it’s a 40% saving and we get double share bonus after 3 years. So the company shares have got to really tank before I lose out. It’s just a way of golden handcuffing staff.
 
Indeed SIPs are great alas I didn't realise once GE sold my company our shares were transferred and couldn't benefit from being sold tax free any more. Most annoying!

I bought £5500 worth between 2019 / 2020 and when I sold what I could recently the pot was at £12700. I'd have been able to pretty much sell up had I sold prior to April 5th, DOH!

Sadly my current company does not offer any SIP / share scheme.

You have to hold them for 5 years for them to be income and NI tax free and if they stay in a plan, they are capital gains tax free.

We are allowed buy up to £1800 of shares per year, but I only buy £600 as the company will share match the first £600 of the year. I just pay £50 per month.. and 6 years later sell them as a lump along with my SAYE share plan. Transfer the cash to my personal investment account and buy shares in a tracker/ETF.
