Freetrade : they have a website you can use as well now
Trading212 is the best free option and supports mobile or browser.
The only fee is 0.15% FX fee for when you buy/sell stocks in a currency other than £, or your native currency.
It's a miniscule amount that you won't even notice.
T212 are very pro-active with adding stocks too, people can even request stocks to be added and as long as they meet regulations they will add them.
freetrade will have a limited selection in comparison
Only benefit Freetrade have is they support SIPP, which could be a must for some I guess.
Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) is a type of UK government-approved pension that allows you to choose your own investments.
Tread cautiously in todays markets, the bull run may not last.
Michael Burry has successfully predicted 15 of the last 1 recessions, he's been quite for awhile now though.
I bet he has Jerome Powell toilet paper

Go with T212 instead if you don't need a SIPP as t212 is cheaper and has better features. Both are fine though.

Intel I see as a long term play, has stabilised last 6 months perhaps this is the floor. The chips act and the new fabs once up and running it'll rise again.
The data centres is the reason amd will continue to rise. Its a good buy at this price if one does not have any.

Well my fun over fundamentals account had it's first day , it did exactly what I wanted it to do, had lots of discussions with the other guys doing it at work and the time flew..
Put 4 x £250.in over my breaks .but that's it I think so I will tweak it by selling whatever and buying more hype , like I said it's for fun so.......if it goes to 100 quid it goes to 100 quid

still not totally sure how the after/ before hours thing works as i bought before the market and it went straight through ,worse price ? also share lending , never seen that before looked on the FAQs probably wont bother
it works like normal, just less trades in those hours so your trade might not go through until the market actually opens for normal hours.
you can set a limit buy a few cents over the current stock price, but I never do tbh and I never got any bad prices, usually if it doesn't just go through in a minute I cancel it.
Share lending is basically lending your shares to people who short the stock, you get a tiny bit of interest from them borrowing it, they short your stock and drive the price down.
Earnings are always during outside hours, so any big stock movies like say AMD has a killer earnings and pumps a bit whilst the market is closed.
you could buy some of that stock knowing when the market opens it's likely to pump even more from investors who don't have access to outside hours trading.
I don't think anyone does that as a strategy it's just an example, also means if a stock has bad earnings and tanks you don't need to wait for the market open to dump it.

$4 isn't bad
But what are you trying to achieve? Or were you just testing the process, a first venture into buying and selling stocks? If trading, have a reason for a trade. Don't buy stuff hoping it goes up....in 24 hours
.Next time you do this you may go straight to a loss and then end up holding afraid to take a loss and then the price drops further and further and......If afraid to lose money, the markets are probably not for you at this time, especially trying to trade them.
If looking to invest then you need a long term focus. For example, both Nvidia and Palantir will likely be around in future and likely valued much higher than they are today. However, there may be better times to buy, or add to a position.
