mostly Just keeping an eye out for small/mid cap stocks that have a decent business model and good leadership.
If it's in areas of tech that interest you the more the better, because you won't find the research so tedious.

Channel your inner cathie woods, then do the opposite of what she would do.

I'm absolutely fed up f my Google. News feed telling me what cathie wood has done.

Not as bad as the incessant motley fool articles.
 
Yea I thought flying taxis were going to be like a 2030+ thing.


Seems militaries could have a use for them too potentially

The manufacturer is under contract to deliver as many as six electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft to the military.

That article mentions the airforce acquired some JOBY ones too for evaluation/testing

but even 2 years ago the first route was announced

Archer and United Announce First Electric Air Taxi Route - Asian Sky Group

Archer Aviation and United Airlines unveiled the first-ever airport-to-city center flight route that will one day see passengers travel to and from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) via Archer’s eVTOL. The flight path between United’s hub at EWR and Downtown Manhattan Heliport in New...

I guess no one had faith but a lot of spacs were basically scams and people were sick of them.

Shares of Archer Aviation, which went public via a special purpose acquisition company merger in September 2021, rose by 13 percent on the day of the announcement.

Did my usual bi-monthly shares check. Sitting at another all-time high. Although I do notice that it was slightly higher a week ago, but still, the market is just rocketing.
 
Just got hold of the board game “big money”.. I wanted it for Christmas last year but Santa gave me other stuff instead.. it was new and in a charity shop so super cheap… looking forward to beating the kids (who are old now and have kids of their own) at a simulated stock market game lol
 
Been looking at a lot of historic data, especially at the times of recession and market deflation and I'm more "fearful" than I was 2/3 months ago. I now think it's unlikely that the US Fed can stick the soft landing and there will be a recession. China's stimulus package has fallen quite flat, Trumps tarriff's potentially stoke inflation and the UK and Europe are struggling. The debt burden for governments globally is unprecedented and if inflation spikes back then rates won't be cut. Based on that I reckon I'll be riding out December and then taking some profits to sit out on the sidelines for a period - at least until we see what the US economy will do. Kind of depressing but I'm not at an age where I can afford to take a 40% hit on my investments. I'm also not stoic enough to ride out the days where the market falls!

Anyone else?

No you are consuming too much pessimistic news.

The #1 thing going forward is Vivek and Elon with Doge. This is the narrow path to US outperformance that will leave the rest of the world in the dust.
 
Was looking hopeful today until my US stocks opened and crashed, picked up some more RKLB and ACHR right when I thought the drop had finished, only for it to literally fall the same again :P Hopefully buying in the dip will pay off

Rolls had another great day

That ACHR. Not sure about that one myself.

Microvast is doing well. It's up 60pc since buying mid November.

Quantum stocks are holding up well.

I did note the QMCO stock (called quantum). I think it popped due to the name. It has nothing to do with quantum computing as far as I can see. Some poor souls bought at 25-30 and it's come down to 12.

Just shows how speculative this space is when a stock rockets due to its name. That's what I think anyway
 
I think I posted about ACHR on here about a year ago. Ending up buying a load and holding through quite a loss, my reasoning then and now still, was I believe they can and will close the market cap with JOBY. Was up 70% on Friday, now only a measly 20%. I must admit I was expecting a pullback but not quite to the extent we saw yesterday. Still going to hold long term, if the market accepts JOBYs market cap then a reasonable share price for ACHR is approx $20 (dilution notwithstanding, which is admittedly, a risk). I also believe that eVTOL is definitely going to be a big thing in the future.

Yup, looked at all my holdings and thought - this is heading for a crash, so I sold up.

why?

Unless you have a need for the money, why take it out of the markets...

Time in the markets, beats timing the markets.....

When do you re-invest? That's the toughest question to ask yourself now.... ?? What happens if markets are still on the up for the next 3/6/9 months? You've missed out on tons of growth.

Avoiding the market’s downs may mean missing out on the ups as well. 78% of the stock market’s best days occur during a bear market or during the first two months of a bull market. If you missed the market’s 10 best days over the past 30 years, your returns would have been cut in half. And missing the best 30 days would have reduced your returns by an astonishing 83%.
