S&S ISA next thing to sort out. I jumped on Trading 212 this year and put money in their Cash ISA which looking to drip feed into a S&S ISA with them. For that I was looking at S&P 500 VUAG as my only holding and perhaps play it safe with my pension and keep it just an index fund. So many options but then the ISA would fund family milestones in the future so might dip into it in 10/15 years time.

What platform are you guys using to follow share/fund prices. I'm on ADVFN, but its £250 ayear for live UK prices, with the rest (USA etc) delayed. I've been on there for over 20 years, and I find the portfolio monitor is useful, but I'm wondering do any other platforms allow you to watch a load of shares/indices/funds etc in a similiar way and at a reduced price ?

Yeah picked up some last week, and some Reddit, both did well yesterday.
Regret not getting reddit early days. I like reddit and should have picked up on that how popular it was.
My best this year is clearly my 3 quantum stocks. Hard to put the right stop loss on at they are so volatile
I think my average on smci is about a 30 (picked some up at about 400 before the split and then 25ish after the crash

Just so much rubbish on there though - wallstreetsbets is just spam
Not me I bought PLTR and a housewho was the guy who sold pltr and bought a house or whatever?
cos that stock ain't stopping, I'm wondering it if coulda been 2 houses
In at about $26.who was the guy who sold pltr and bought a house or whatever?

im holding a fair amount of PLTR and my hand is hovering over the sell button to take the profit, but you're right it aint stopping. decisions decisions !
it should be added to the nasdaq 100 on the 13th
The index funds probably already started buying, and I reckon that's why the price went from late 60s to mid 70s.
possible it could push further, but I've never owned a stock that was added to the nasdaq 100 before
There's been other minor catalysts recently as well though
- Shield AI revealed Friday a strategic alliance with Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ
LTR) to improve command and control capability for autonomous uncrewed systems. The partnership seeks to provide scalable artificial intelligence solutions capable of functioning in situations devoid of GPS or communication. Shield AI is furthering its goal to offer AI-powered technology to protect military members and citizens by use of Palantir's Warp Speed, a manufacturing operating system meant to enable American re-industrialization.
- Palantir Technologies is partnering with defense-technology company Anduril Industries to launch a consortium the companies said will ensure that the U.S. government leads the world in artificial intelligence.
- Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) and Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) jointly announced today a groundbreaking co-creation partnership to accelerate defense mission innovation and help the U.S. maintain superiority against its adversaries.
- The effort expands collaboration between two industry innovators that recognize the urgent need for agile, field-ready approaches that help the U.S., and its allies and partners, communicate and coordinate in a complex global security landscape
PLTR seems to be positioning it self to unlock some more of that fed money
They are going to need it to maintain growth and the stock price though.

yes I saw this being mentioned, in simple terms, what will this do to the stock ? I’m assuming it’s only a good thing and the price will rise ? Luckily I don’t need the cash right now so prepared to hold if it means bigger long term gains

It will increase institutional buying as it'll form part of several index funds.
hopefully the guy with the 5k doesn't see this and buy Palantir.
the stocks valuation is crazy, it's gone up soo much recently that it would be incredibly risky to jump in now IMO.
There's a real risk people start realising gains as soon as it hits the nasdaq 100 and we see a pull back.
There's also a risk it never sees this price ever again, and they get loads of gov money from trump, but that's wishful thinking, especially with musk in trumps ear.
You know musk is going to be wanting that AI money, regardless of whether there's better stuff already available that's proven or not
