Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

googles chatbot says they have 10 million customers and make 26.50 per customer, apparently revolut is doing almost 40 per customer.

but its not a public company so no idea where google gets the data

Seeing lots of ads for Monzo.

They're top of my IPO longlist to get in on the day, wonder if there will be some movement before the turn of the year.

Public banking is a tough crowded market.. most banks would get rid of their public divisions if given the chance, some just keep it open as a lost leader to keep their band in mindset of the publc.

Supermarkets have started closing/selling off their divisions… the amount of profit involved pales in comparison to other financial selectors, like private banking, mortgages and insurance.

A bank could profit over 50 million by acting as the underwriters in a single company merger/takeover.. how many loans, credit card and overdraft fees from the public would it take to make up that amount? Then there’s the bad debts, fees being sold to debt collectors just to recoup some of the money.

There’s plenty of well established banks already available to purchase into.. monzo may have the edge tech wise, but they are a much smaller operation and can move quicker, but I don’t think any of the bigger banks are worried about them, otherwise they would just buy them out.

Monzo is so popular/hyped. Not sure how ipo will go.
So many IPOs hype up, crash on day one.. Then settle down.

I've seen a few (from sidelines) and it generally seems a gamble. And a hefty one. Sometimes they crater, sometimes moon.
And it's nigh on impossible for a pleb like me to even understand valuations.

For me Monzo is doing great. But everyone knows it. I'd look for under the radar IPOs myself.

So many sales.
Vanquis has tanked.
Virgin sold.
Tesco sold.
Coop seems to be always getting sold.

Sainsburys too I think?

Same.

The market has returned £6.90 for every £1 that I’ve personally invested the last 12 months. It’s almost become pointless to invest because the daily swings are so big that my piddly amounts have no observable effects. But consistency over the years is what got it to this point.

It’s at a point where I’m scaling back my weekly investments because I’d rather spend the money on stuff that I want instead of investing big amounts. I know a single green day will just wash that gap away like it never existed.

Only thing I've done is buy £2K of John Wood :)

Of my single companies, I don't hold anything too speculative - other than the above. Will just ignore the short term and carry on.

They done anything interesting recently, I havent been paying attention but Ive owned them in the past.


RR could be related to AI so some say. MSFT just 'bought' or has access to a nuclear plant in a deal apparently. Lots of things doing well at the moment, Im optimistic. I've not read all the thread but obviously theres always wider detail on everything. UK can recycle (some?) nuclear waste btw, most countries have no ability to do that


A crumbling nuclear waste site in Cumbria is leaking thousands of litres of radioactive water into the ground every day, a report by Whitehall’s spending watchdog has warned.

The so-called Magnox Swarf Storage Silo is among the most hazardous buildings at Sellafield, Europe’s largest nuclear site, with work ongoing to transfer its contents into newer, safer facilities.

But a report published on Wednesday said slow progress had pushed back an estimated completion date into the late 2050s, with “significant safety and financial consequences”.

Not really. Made a bit of gain on the initial drop but nothng of note since holding.

Anyone holding AIM shares? I have two - Renold and MSInternational. Both have done well since holding but the share price is being hammered in the run up to the budget. Going to stay in and ride it out but my gosh, it's painful.
 
AIM shares just going by the average, you have to expect they dont do too well I guess is the sensible approach. I have CNR, will they ever sell their gold 'reserves' no working operations afaik. PMG had its time, its got gas but the price came down and I should put in trailing stops not traded it manually. Im trying to learn always, I do have bias to gigantic multi nationals. FXPO is my best? risk

Not heard of the two you mention. Budget/election event point yep
 
Ionq has gone crazy. Like 130 percent in a month.

And I have a few fxpo too. I bought a few at 41p to try to trade. But they've done really well. Obviously it's all about the war

Aviva have taken a dip. Probably due to the rattling of labour over pensions?

Why whenever I get to vote on things as a shareholder do the board always recommend against reports ?

You would think some reports on these topics would not only be interesting but also reasonable to let shareholders know, this one is for Microsoft for instance and probably the most egregious report subjects I've seen, but generally most of the companies, the board recommend against any report no matter what it is

I voted for of course

I typically just vote against all of the board retaining their seats.
 
why would microsoft want a report of ai and ML tools for oil and gas?
They'd already be waay behind on that anyway.

who even suggests this crap? could they not think of anything meaningful to vote on?
 
Those of you that dabble in the US stocks, how would you approach the upcoming presidential election.

Sell up before on a high and buy back in after when it's calm or ride it out.

I'm not even sure who wall st favours... I'd assume it's trump but.... Yeah.
