Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

Meme. Stocks are mooning again after the correction.
All the popular ones have recovered or bettered.

I do consider sound hound AI precarious. But not a full meme stock and have high hopes for it.

If even one of my quantum stocks actually delivers profit I'll be very happy. Even if the others fall away.

It is.
I was in at fairly decent price not from before the first juno unfortunately!
But sitting on 200 percent rise for it.

Doesn't even look too memey.. Revenue has been growing YoY and loses reducing YoY too.

Gave up trying to pick individual stocks for now, all the sources of information aren't trustworthy for one reason or other, most of them blatantly manipulative. Anyways, Xmas time, don't eat all your profits. ;)

The only purpose of any article on the internet is simply to introduce you to a company, that you didnt know existed.

You then look up the company using the information THEY provide, mostly financial reports and otherwise.

I.e. ASML is not too known, and if you want to research them, you go to asml.com for example.

This is what I do now. The actual articles are pretty much a 50/50 spam fest in their entirety.

But every now and then you'll see one that actually has merit. Look at the company in detail etc.

That's how I found AA4, BGEO and MVST


But some of the kack in the ones that seem they are AI spam articles are a pile of garbage
 
70% up on MVST, going to hold until at least 2.5 maybe 3 before taking any out

I've bought small amounts of LODE and REKR over the weekend think they could be next for a run into the new year. LODE is up 10% already thanks to a press release earlier :)

Was I the first person to mention MVST on here? I can't recall?

If your not going to hold a stock for at least 1-3months you probably shouldn't buy it

and if you don't wanna hold for that long you probably bought a meme :eek:

This, Every company has an investors page and usually the earnings are in a nice pdf easy to read format, I usually go back a few.

UK is absolute garbage.
USA has outpaced UK and most (all?) other regions by miles.

This might be a hot take.. but the ftse index are not doing that badly at the moment.

No doubt the US index has out paced them for the last few years but the ftse has out paced inflation.

The ftse 100 is 5.28 and the 250 is up 4.99 YTD, also a lot of the shares are dividend shares, so you will get roughly 3.7% from dividends YTD.

This issue is that there are some very old and big priced companies in the index that can really do with a share split to generate more liquidity in the market. Also growth companies are in fashion at the moment and people tend to shop for them in the US market.

If a world wide recession does hit, I think the UK market will be less effected with the older therefore more stable companies while the US with all its young quick growing companies will be much more affected, the uk market will just feel the fall out.

We can moan about “there are no bargains” in the US market and reap the rewards of an over priced market. But there are bargains in the UK market, but like always it’s about selecting the right ones.

FTSE even outpace inflation? when I used to hold stocks there they would act like they were dead. okay maybe the index as a whole does, but I bet its a handful of stocks carrying it

Meanwhile in the land of the bold.

It's hard to find interesting companies in the UK as well, all the interesting ones are probably still private


Also in the states you get the crazy stuff happening that send stocks to the moon

The five-year contract, which has a maximum total value of $4.82 billion, will incrementally issue awards as work progresses. Intuitive Machines’ initial NSN award is worth $150 million.


that contract maximum value was about 4-5x their market cap at the time

I'm considering getting on board with Robinhood, but it would specifically to move some of my crypto into bricks and mortar shares.
Does anyone know if Robinhood allow direct share purchase using crypto, or does it need to be converted to fiat first?
I've tried to find out on their website, but there's no explicit mention either way.
Thanks.

If I was happy with the poor returns of the UK I'd just put the cash in a savings account or a cash ISA and have that all but guaranteed 4-5% tbh.
Each to their own though, we all have different risk appetites.

I'm pretty happy with the guaranteed 5% ish right now with the general state of the world. I don't think those savings rates will be around this time next year, so will probably start moving back into more equities as central bank rates fall.

is robinhood even in the UK> most people use T212 because the fees are so low, you don't even notice them.

there's no crypto though

Yeah Robinhood is available in the UK for UK residents, but you can only buy US listed companies. Its dashboard isn't as good a T212 and that's even after T212 went for that crappy mobile interface even on desktop. It doesn't have as many US stocks available either, and of course you have to covert everything to dollars.

Like T212 though it does offer sign up bonuses, though you're more likely to get a $7 share rather than the $150 prize. You do get to choose the company for your bonus which is a nice touch.
 
More than happy with my 21% gain this year on my single all world ETF. And yes, my entire ISA wrappered portfolio has been simplified and consists only of that now.

70% up since I stopped buying almost all individual shares about 4 years ago. It’s been the best decision I ever made in terms of peace of mind and low stress levels.

I’ve found the daily movements about a perfect balance for my personal risk appetite, and this year my gains have earned me several times my maxed ISA contribution for the year, which is a phenomenal feeling.

I made a lot of silly decisions early on when I started investing, and almost all of them were the result of me naively looking for the next big growth stock.

ETF investing is for me.
