Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

Had very tasty win on a Swiss stock I've been watching for a while over past few months. Took outsized position so took outsized gain. Closed out position finally and the control room who approves trades was like "niiiiice". :D

Still happy with my aa4 holding. Had it for a long time when dividend was 20pc.
Can't see getting rid for a while yet.

Much boosted by the lack of new planes in the supply line.
 
did anyone buy into SDRY?

There was a massive boom when one of the co founders said that he was going to take it private again, then there’s been a massive sell off once it’s announced that it would be delisted and restructured.

Surely the co founder is liable for fake news…. I missed the boom even thou I did see their shares tank but I guess this will be another one of Mike Ashley’s slum shops soon.

Just popping little bits, mainly the small amount of dividends that I’m getting from my GA account into DOCS as the moment, hoping for a buyout from Adidas or some other footwear company.

Just reading more, sounds like people got sucked in as usual. Entering talks is not a firm offer of taking private.

I saw it unfold but that's well into day trading and an absolute lottery. I was never tempted to buy in. But saw it unfold

After some advice please.

Currently have a stocks and shares isa and an investment account with my bank.

I just started them both up to put money away and hopefully get some back not really reading up on anything

The isa where I chose what to buy and the bank one for them to sort.

I've got 2.5k in each and having read up on isas it seems best to just have it all in the isa and there is no tax to be paid on gains or dividends.

Isas have got a 20k allowance per year so (not that I'm going to) I could pay in 20k per year for the next 30 years and reinvest my dividend payments and never pay tax. Is this correct? Then just take tax free dividend payments when I retire.

My bank investments made about £200 where as my isa is currently up £800 mostly thanks to rolls Royce.

Thanks.

Yep unless your after something particularly funky then S&S type investments 100% get those into an ISA wrapper.
At that level you will be fine in regards CGT unless you make massive on £2.5k but you may as well protect it in the ISA.

S&S ISA can be a little restrictive in some cases, but platforms like T212 have a lot of options.

yes at the moment, isa investments are tax free as the money you are using to invest is already taxed.

general investments accounts tend to be only good if you can get the money in there under another incentive like a work SIP and for short term risker investments.
 
I'm using h&l and just putting £100pm into it. Choosing a company and investing for 5-6 months then picking a new and repeat

It's a long term thing that I'm hoping to have some passive Income in retirment

That's a pretty poor long term plan IMO. Just whack it in a passive tracker. After 30 years you'll do better than gambling on random companies every 6 months.

Well not necessarily better, he may get super lucky, or super unlucky.
A passive tracker is going to give you middle ground, and should be good enough for most.

I mean if he randomly picked Nvidia 2 years ago hes likely beating the index, but if he picked superdry...

Somewhere there is a point where investing meets gambling. I think randomly picking a share every 6 months may have just about passed that point. :)

Top four certainly likely to be steady stocks over medium term.
Rolls doing ok after in effect a hard hammer from COVID.

Almost certainly better over 30 years. Most active managers fail to best their benchmark over the long term.
