Just Intel -17% but it's 22.58% of my portfolio (just added some more the other week even)
I sold NIO and Panasonic in the last week or so both at a loss, but it was so small it didn't matter, like 5-% and 7-% I think

I spent around a year with my portfolio going in the -10% - +10% range.

It's not like I bought them and they suddenly skyrocketed, you just need to have the faith in a company to keep holding it, and know why your holding it.
Rather than to take the greens because 20%+ is enough and you want to find a new stock.

I've been very patient with my quantum stocks. And that looks to be finally taking off.

Crowdstrike I bought in the scandal have recovered nicely (this is the type of buy I do best on).

Poor choices for me have been many aim stocks. Almost every one actually. And generally UK stocks. Very very few of my UK stocks have done anything except basically flatline.
SMCI was a poor choice too. Really poor!

The UK budget has scuppered some of my "requires low interest rate" stocks unfortunately.

I do have a few X2 or more
Ionq
Nvidia
D-wave quantum
Correro Network Security
Ferrexpo
Upstart
Shopify
Coinbase

I don't even think to look at UK stuff anymore.

I'm sure people have done terribly well with Rolls Royce, BP etc though.
I had RR for awhile but it kinda scared me, no doubt people on here 3-4x on that one

RR is a very very rare UK success story. I guess it basically has a niche carved out

With a lot of screenshots showing T212 app/site, I presume a lot here have an S&S ISA with T212? I've gone boring and got one with Vanguard, buying only Global All-Cap, though I'm just opening a cash ISA with T212 as I'm risking tax on savings interest very soon so dumping some into an ISA.

Yes I use a S&S ISA with 212. It's paying 5.17% on cash balances so pretty convenient. I dip in and out a bit so it's handy to just have the cash paying daily interest.

Had a big bump this morning from the RFK news so cashed 2/3s out, I'm on holiday with very sparse Internet so don't want to be too exposed to all the volatility while I'm trying to get away!

Gees my quantum stocks are insane.
Seems very bubbly. Trying to find out if it's hype or the real deal.
Blasted past 100pc on ionq last week and now d-wave.

don't believe everything you read on the internet.

There will be just as many loosing trades/stocks as winners.

But people only tell you about the winners...

Yep

Just the same as the gamblers who make a big fuss when they have a decent win once or month or so but forget to tell people that they are still down most months of the year

Some people just have more time or find it more fun to research stocks.

Remember me talking about flying taxis about 10 days ago

Flying taxis will probably be a thing in the next 2 years, they could be one to get in on.

I don't mean for mass transport, there's a lot of millionaires out there

looks like JOBY are up about 30% in the same period too

When Rocket labs has a market cap in the hundreds of billions there will be people on here saying no one called it.
They would already be making a profit if it wasn't for neutron development costs btw

I'll say since moving away from UK stocks I've done much much better.
As in, it's depressing tbh how much better even randomly picking us techy/futuristic stocks can be.

Even if they don't make it.. If the hype starts you can, if you want, sell out for a profit.

Do you hold any quantum computing stocks? Seeing as you're quite into the future pioneering stocks.

Its certainly caught me off guard the mooning of these quantum stocks in last 30 days.

Check out QUBT for some serious mooning. Unbelievable. It's like a meme coin in crypto

Might not be obvious so worth saying - you can buy all of the Vanguard funds (& I think even some that Vanguard don't even have on their own platform...) or equilavent ones in T212 / Freetrade etc. Definitely worth moving your ISA just for the better/easier app experience.

Absolutely. I have some of my isa in the same funds as my pension (vanguard etfs).
But my isa is more risk based. So I'll sell individual stocks into my vanguard Etfs then out when I fancy a particular stock
