Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

$2 a share for a $20 it not even worth spending time on the trade.. based on the price the max you get is 10% or 11% at the current price the higher the price you purchased but the lower the return based on the $2 return per share. You spent min $10k plus the div is 2% on 20 dollars which is very poor.
I stay well away from intel.

But that $2 share could turn in to $200 eventually :D

It's good to keep a few of those cheap ones because you never know

In my last trade I lost 2.2% on Rheinmetall. Win some, lose some.

E. Correction - I lost 1.8%, not 2.2.

My lesson was greed so I caught coinbase after hours and was up a very small amount but could have took it , thought the results were great but the market disagreed , I didn't check, went to take my profit and lost £160 , made myself stand in a corner with a dunce cap on
Intel seem to have a back stop though at £18 ISH
 
Yep, it's hard to lose money on intel when its less than $19.50. Tho I should say "so far".

Still considerable turmoil in the Intel space. New CEO has come in with an AI lean but it's against the backdrop of laying off staff and reductions in capex/opex. Not a great sign for growth and more a hint towards subsistence in the near-term.
 
Im half expecting EU defence stocks to have another rally when DJT announces the 'US is out' of supporting Ukraine. Which could be shortly.

Greed and no self-control when buying, is the biggest way to a loss. We have all been their.
 
given the recent news D.T. feels like RU is just stringing them along im expecting a reversal on that front, once full realisation comes in.
plus im wondering what the impact might be on an altercation betwee Pakistan and India, lots of saber ratling, given india's tech industry.
 
quant pair trading....

Say if someone had a load of shares in a company (A)... and they found another company (B) that they can pair with that hasn't caught up in share price yet.

The could in theory short the company A that they have a load of shares with... go long on the company B that hasn't caught up.

Company A (short with also a load of shares in reserve)Company B (long)Result
UpUpSell company B shares to cover lost on company A
UpDownUse reserve shares to cover the losts on both trades
DownUpProfit from both
DownDownUse short on A to cover lost on company B

any reason why this won't work? assuming that the pairing is done correctly. obviously that person could just sell the shares in company A and make money rather than risk it to try and make more.
 
well just becuase they are similar comanies doenst mean company b will "catch up"
its a gamble.

look at intell prices and amd
or even amd vs nvidia
as examples

Nvida had a good shot up with AI were AMD is still trying to play catch up. althought he pricess hae come down ingeneral
theres another company but i cant think if its name :/
 
They are probably all cheap at this time on a six year basis. So long as I can regular buy the sector I expect to do ok even if we did zig zag downwards for the rest of the year, in theory that could be a good thing even if it feels terrible.

Anyone got a list of ETF they watch or use, I have one account its only specifically ETF and its very cheap. I can check details on morningstar or trustnet even HL are useful just wondering generally

FTAL WITS SGLN SPGP

simply ftse tech and gold


I missed taking up ARM both when it was on FTSE, it was a lot cheaper but I didnt value it :o & more recently wasnt paying attention, if Nvidia is ok then I might take some of ARM also
 
It didnt start in the 90's but the policy of shortening treasury term debt did, that was a deliberate FED program . It costs far less to do it that way except when things fall apart its very dangerous what could happen.

I agree general point there is bigger factors ongoing and its not trump, he is a momentary apparition. If all was perfectly well, perhaps we had the fiscal arrangement of Norway then BTC for example would still be in the hundreds quite possibly etc. globally we'd be better off with strong currency balanced debt etc.

I can almost guarantee that they will.

They will say neither side wants a "peace deal" so we're pulling out. That means no more defensive systems, no more intelligence sharing, likely no more starlink etc.

The current deal being proposed by the greatest dealmaker of all time, Trump - Russia (the aggressor) get to keep everything they've taken. Ukraine gets to give it to them, and the USA won't actually come to Ukraine's aid again in future if Russia start the war up again.
