Hi NinjaI only started with real money 2 months ago and my outlook was different, i spread 200k over 20 companies,10k each but i just found it a hassle.
My current 4 are NIO, Amazon, Tesla and (only one letting me down currently, due to poor earnings) Beyond Burgers. Happy to sit on them all for another year and then will take 50% of whatever profit and use that profit to reinvest into a fancied up'n'comer.
Sure2 months i practiced mate but what i practiced and how i roll are different things. I practiced to get used to leverage and navigating the broker etc etc.
I dont use leverage either. That can make you or break you fast either way. I'm a sitter.
What do you guys think about the Brewdog shares? I think it's the last chance to pick them up directly ahead of their IPO at the moment...
After losing lots of money trying out CFD. I invested $1.6 in XRP, a day later I was up 100% with leverage 1:2, Now it fell a bit and I'm still up 50%
With regular investments I've got bitcoin driving up my total earnings to something like 5% in a week.
I realized that I have a USD account in 212, so I won't be topping it up, I can let my girlfriend invest instead, as she has a GBP account. Turns out my bank is charging me 3.5% for transferring in and also cashing out. That is insane. If you buy UK stocks you also pay some weird tax, so before you know I lost 10% just by touching the thing.
Managed to get 3 referrals so got free stocks American Airlines ($12), Easyjet ($10), and a lucky Uber ($50), will offset some of my losses!
Overpriced for me.
I got in at EFP3 and sold most at the last trading day.
If you do want some. You can buy through a guy on the forum. Generally around £14 per share but you don’t get the free beer perks like buying direct but still makes it worthwhile than paying ~£25 a share.
Since posting my previous post I looked into a bit more and I think I've concluded that although perhaps buying the 2 share minimum to get the discounts and such might be fun (i.e. treating it like a fan club fee) but it's not really worthwhile as an investment. I was initially thinking perhaps once they have their IPO if it happens then maybe having some shares from the fundraising might be an okay idea, but I kind of get the impression they have massively overvalued themselves (perhaps for £14 a share its not so bad, but part of me does want the fan club perks, so...)
What is going on in this post! You need to put your wallet away immediately, read some books and at least use play money accounts until you know how everything works. Even then read the books.
A lot of "gambling" going on in here by the sounds of it.
Very little strategy/though process/reasoning behind the various investments.
Trading CFD's and leveraging is a dangerous game.
Long and short - don't invest into anything on the grounds of internet forums/man down the pub said/guy on the inside etc. Do you own research, invest wisely in a sensible portfolio of stocks/funds and unless you are very very well versed in day trading, look/invest for the longer term.
That's easier said than done. What book, how many books, am I going to learn anything I can apply to get guaranteed profits? Too many variables.
I have all of my money in a well known UK fund. I traded on my own with some liquidity leftovers. Proudly lost $250 and $200 on fees (past and future).
Trading CFDs I failed every time then I thought I'm gonna do the opposite of what I want to do and I failed again. But in my trading account I'm up 5.5% in a week. Always wanted to own that Scottish Mortgage, but didn't know how until now.
I'm actually a homeless person and haven't slept in a building for several years. Hope the economy goes well and I can buy me a house
