Yes, spotted someone post it on Friday, got in at 0.48, might have being yourself actually and I sold at 0.85 today.
Urgh, I had a look into them, thought it looked good so put them on my watchlist to chuck a few quid in and.... forgot all about it
Never touched BOO, but that's a personal thing not a shares thing, same as I wont get in on the banks lol
I think overall this year has seen a lot of individual investors attracted to day trading due to the time spent working from home allowing more focus on the stock markets (myself included). The huge bull run since the crash in March has lured lots of casual investors in looking for easy gains, but the ease of access to leverage and speculative positions is frankly scary. I, like many people I'm sure, have looked to the stock market because traditional investments avenues are not returning much above 1%. However, I suspect a lot of people will get burnt in the coming months if reality starts to bite.
For a newbie (or anyone non-pro really) imo you should:
1. read the uk personal finance wiki https://ukpersonal.finance/ particularly the personal finance flowchart to make sure investing is the right thing to do https://ukpersonal.finance/flowchart/ and diy tracker to understand a bit better what you're buying and why https://ukpersonal.finance/diy-global-tracker/
2. open a stocks and shares isa with a platform of your choice, e.g. hargreaves lansdown.
3. buy a combination of tracker funds suitable for your age and level of acceptable risk, e.g. 80% stocks, 20% bonds.
there are loads so here's a shortlist: https://www.hl.co.uk/funds/help-choosing-funds/wealth-shortlist
each has a factsheet including: largest holdings, countries/sectors breakdown, fund size, yield, hl comments
don't buy anything you don't understand.
4. leave it alone for as long as possible. don't tinker. don't check it often. don't panic sell if the numbers turn red.
a reasonable way to track the world would be 90% of this

and 10% of this

or you could choose to track particular sectors

I'm sitting here thinking about putting about £100 a month in a fund at HL (not sure which one yet) and £100 a month at Vanguard in their S&P500 fund. Planning some long term investments so not going to move any funds out from it. I got a couple of retirement funds back home in Sweden that have done quite well with the little amounts I have there. They are both technology based so I'm thinking about going in that section.
Opened positions on NIO, SOLO and RR today.
Frustratingly, can't seem to find BYD on iWeb to invest in.
You can only pay into one S&S ISA per tax year so you won't be able to do that, assuming both are in ISAs which they should be. Vanguard's S&P500 fund will be no different to one on HL so you may as well just do both wth HL.
BYDDY is what I'm looking at. Doesn't seem to be available on iWeb, though. Which sucks. Or I'm missing something.Also tempted nio and byd. Not enough cash to go around
Edit : is that bynd or byd?
I'm looking at bynd
