Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

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! :D
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!

All of the other ones cost money to use?
t212only has fx feess that are tiny

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.

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

Sure, but with the current Vanguard S&S ISA, I'm only paying in £100 a month and I'm not checking the app/website to see how it's doing anyway, so the app experience (at least in this case) isn't that important to me. I'm liking it for the cash ISA though, which I'm using as something of a slush fund (but for things like house air conditioning, not illicit purposes :p)
 
Check out QUBT for some serious mooning. Unbelievable. It's like a meme coin in crypto

Nearly all their assets are goodwill/intangible.........

That's thousands not millions.. your local corner shop probably has similar revenue each year

public float is only 72m shares btw

Issuing shares to raise capital isn't a bad thing, but when it's to stop your company going bankrupt... it's different than like kraken robotics issuing shares to raise money because they want to expand the business or acquire a competitor

If I wanna play the lottery I'll buy a share.
It's one of those companies that's going to keep issuing new shares and diluting share holders for a long long time, or they run out of cash before that happens.
The market cap is literally insane btw the companies inventory is listed as 241k, they only had 3mil in cash.
they seem to lose 5-6million every quarter and only raised 40mil from issusing shares the other week.


I'd stick to IBM or whomever else is trying to do quantum if I were you.


BTW when it actually starts to become a reality, what do you think MSFT, GOOGLE, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and apple are going to do? along with probably ARM, INTEL , AMD and NVDA
All the above companies apart from 1 either already design custom cpu's for their servers, or are doing so very soon.
You think they will just sit out quantum when it happens? and look how many billions of cash some of them are sitting on.


No little QUBT will be able to compete, maybe they can get royalties through patents if they own any decent ones, but I guess the odds of that are slim.
It's like a business in someones garage trying to compete with apple in the phone market.
Best case for the CEO/board is probably some bigger compan aquiring them before they become insolvent.

I'm not saying people can't make money on it, maybe they can, but it's an idiot stock for gamblers.
and one of the reasons you don't see me posting many red stock here.
cos I don't invest in stuff like this with basically no business model and just wishful thinking.


To me it's basically a stock market scam, come up with some crazy idea based on something that's hyped right now, then keep issuing shares all the time to generate money.
I've seen it time and time again, it's basically crypto rug pull but more sophisticated as far as I'm concerned.



You'd literally be better off buying over valued Nvidia for the AI play, and assuming NVDA will also get into quantum computing when it starts to become reality.

There you go buy NVDA if you want a low risk, high reward play to hold for a long time.

They just had a good earnings, the stock didn't really move up/down so seems to be at a good consolidation level for new entrants.

But don't quote me on that :P

QUBT does sound proper dodgy. And I absolutely have a stop loss on it. As I expect at some point some news will tank it.

Possibly still case with the others I hold (ionq and d-wave).
But for now the gains are good (exceptional) and I'd be very happy to exit with that 100+pc gain locked in.

I do also own nvidia, which are also up 98pc.

Quantum has paid off for me so far. But I'd be tentative going in at these very elevated levels.
 
Slowly cashing out at the moment, mainly because I need to derisk due to personal circumstances. Don't feel too bad about it as savings rates are well above inflation, and things feel a bit heated right now, cashing out some nice profits.

I think we're ripe for another major correction. Either a Ukraine escalation, or this bird flu outbreak that is quietly gaining traction and showing potential to be a serious outbreak amongst humans if it keeps infection mammals.
 
I started buying stocks in May this year and I'm up 65% on my portfolio

Biggest regret is I was tentative so only made 1k and under purchases per stock,

I realise I joined the party in the golden age and will probably never get this kind of opportunity again.....sobs
