Why don't you want to register? You have to complete the declaration.
I bought mine through HL.
I got mine through trading 212.
Brave man if you're going in now though
Thinking about it. And seeing the price increase by the hour
Happy to register. On Halifax just sounded like it takes an age. Having to post documents off

I was up and running in minutes. Kind of scary how easy it is really, could have gone straight into CFD and lost it all very quick if i wanted to be silly!

Nope, certainly for HL it was less than a full screen of text with 3 tick boxes and I could trade as soon as I clicked submit.

I have no idea. Same way as Robinhood I guess (which I don't have an answer for either)?

I assume you know about the trading platform of the same name but just wanted to make sure you didn't think I was actually just making a stupid analogyRobbing rich people?Probably not the best analogy...

Tesla currently trading $959 on my watchlist. That's certainly some gains if you're shorting it!

About a month. Same logic as Tesla though, invested in something I'm interested in and staying for the long haul

^^10,000th post of the thread. sounds like you already won a prize
When they rise this much, you can do both. Take profits, even to the amount of returning all the original capital and still being invested. Tesla was not a small or lowly rated company at the start of the year and its doubled, I think extreme pricing is about hot money and weak currency policy. Did they genuinely advance efficiency over competitors and expand margins.
If I return in a year, would short TSLA long APPL have been a good arbitrage. Reminds me briefly of VW when it was shorted but then became the largest company in the world on the short spike.
Bears, shorts, sceptics & the risk adverse might eventually consider everything priced in gold then we'd have a meta change but thats simplistic
