Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

I've got a good chunk in S&P 500 ACC for my long term hold

got a bit in some higher risk share pie that I may get out of at certain point - palantir, rocket lab, robinhood, hims and hers, ms, nvidia, microstrategy, recursion pharma etc - US only really, I am aware some of these sit in 500 index too.

and a chunk in RR as a long hold because I believe they have a lot of going up to do but I'll bail if it drops too low.

my plan really is to keep it low/medium risk for 15-20 years and get out when I'm around 50-55.

I heard trump wants to cut some spending budget palantir gets money from, but pltr probably only get 1 billion from the budget.

also wouldn't surprise me if DOGE are using Palantir software right now.


and sold at 99$
the whole market seems red so probably be a rebound knowing my luck

I put a - 3x on plantir. Only small amount. But it's up a lot in percent.

Started selling off and will continue to do so for now
 
I know timing the market is a bad idea. But to me this period we are going into shows no good signs. But it could be very very bad.

Trump is too unpredictable to be buying in. That's my view anyway

That's what I said? Unless I'm misreading myself...

If money is needed in the next 12/18 months - don't have it invested.

If no need for it in the next 12/18 leave invested...

Yeah I guess just your times seem a little short. I'd say if you need it in the next few years don't invest it. But then again people think markets cannot fall these days so who knows..

I'm off the opinion that world instability is going to reduce the already lofty valuations.

So it's either sell up and hold cash or sell up and try some negative leverage on the side.

Oh dear - I've just decided to dabble in shares - perhaps I picked the wrong moment?

Was looking at buying some more re. company Mr Gates founded but might hold off now.

The key will be diversity and wait. Invest in an all world ETF like VT and as long as you don't need the money for 10 years the the risks are small.

Left them long ago, the fees they charge compared to those like T212 made it a no-brainer. That and they didn’t cover some obvious ETFs, at the time they wouldn’t do the clean energy ETF (which has obviously nose dived now but back then there’s was solid money to be made).
 
Ive been using HL for many years but not actively.
So you guys swear by T212? I always remember seeing adverts for it but never thought much about it.

I use four different platforms.. two by choice, vanguard and t212 and two because of work for my pension and work shares.

HL are well expensive..
T212 customers services sucks, but it’s free…but is also missing features/options that other platforms have, like SAYE share transfer.

And the reason for all world is to diversify risks from US. Even irrespective of the current insanity, it is a bit of a gamble to go all in on US stocks. Other developed markets might do better long term, no one knows, so splitting the risk is a simpler, safer strategy. We kind of saw this in action yesterday when US defense companies took a beating while Europe defense companies surged, thereby on an all world tracker like VT these big swings cancelled out. Also, something like S&P500 is very heavily tech focused, so not very diversified , risky especially given the P/E
 
I've been heavily in the S&P for quite a while, and it's done very well for me, but I think the time is coming to start bailing out, if for nothing else than I'm not sure I want my money supporting American companies the way things are.
Decisions decisions.
