I've decided I'm just going to start paying someone to sort this shit for me.

You should do. It’s what I do, I’m not touting for a sale but find someone with a good reputation near you and use them what it costs will be worth it in the long term. The amount of times I have seen people fuck up on pensions and investments because they don’t have a clue is staggering.
Praying for an admiral miracle tomorrow with their results. I’ve got too many shares of them already and a buy set about 5% below if it does fall further. It better fucking go back up.
Even more precarious position with harbour energy on Thursday too.
#investwithFoe is a rollercoaster.
Thankfully the broker shat the bed this morning given the volatility on open, so I cancelled my buy and bought live at 19.28 or something. It’s rebounded a good 6% since but results were not good.
Shame the amount I bought definitely doesn’t offset the others I have. HODL
#InvestwithFoe in meltdown.
Not looking good, chaps.
The market did not like the bank going bust and the word on the grapevine (DS) is that more could well follow.
Looking forward to it.
Knew buying shares in under armour because i was bored wasn’t a great idea, but here we are.
Suns up today. My gaff fell a shit load too, which is fantastic. If it keeps going I might buy some shares back.
Credit Suisse isn't going down and neither are any more banks*
*Not financial advice
Hasn't Credit Suisse been under a cloud for a long time? Weren't they the ones badly burned by some of those 'family office' events in the US a while back?
They were on the wrong side of greensil and archegos yep. Plus they've never really properly reformed the business since the GFC (compare to deutsche for example).
Loaned €54bn to cover 'weakness' in financial reporting

I'm sure this is nothing at all like 2008. "Accessing Liquidity" is in no way just another way of saying "bail out". Everything is fine.
Imagine being the most corrupt bank in Europe and still unable to turn a profit.
Hopefully the bounce today is the start of the recovery. I’m fully balls deep in harbour and legal and general and I need an off ramp.
#InvestwithFoe had a decent day. unloaded my exposure to talyor wimpey ahead of the dividend tomorrow. Profit from that has taken my “profit” above the £9k mark, £5k in 2023. Paper losses are probably about £5k so I’m back net positive again.
HODL Hargreaves lansdown, Ford, harbour, admiral and legal & general.
Also, I still have my £200 of neonode which is now £120 of neonode.
Unloaded meta yet spikey? I binned at $189. Clearly should’ve bought back in at $170.
Probably buy more S&N tomorrow during the inevitable ex dividend day plunge. Also watching Rio tinto again, hopefully it drops into the high 40s so I can buy back in.
This is pure gambling at this point right? Numbers go up, numbers go down?
Welcome to stock trading.
I've made 30% on Bitcoin in the past 5 months.
I've lost 85% on Dogecoin in the past 12 months.
Fortunately, the Dogecoin lose only equates to $270.
I've sold everything apart from Neo Node and Bay Capital (the gambles) I don't trust the market at all at the moment.
The Bay Boys.
Remember when I told y'all to short Luna at like $90 but nobody wanted to hurt Kiko's feelings lad what ya doing lads not that I did it myself but it's the principle
I definitely feel like I’m gambling.
I suspect everything will be red tomorrow as people sell off ahead of the weekend. If that happens, it’s confirmation nobody really knows. If they hold up, or rise, there’s enough confidence to keep things moving.
I left and made a profit before it died.
Paper handed pussy.
BIG OIL needs one final push to get me back to a break even possibility on harbour. So close to having an exit route.
I’m just going to dump any spare funds I have into legal and general this month. A 6% dividend can’t be ignored, right?
Also bought shares of persimmon on a whim for the dividend. Those fuckers are going to tank hard after the dividend so that money is locked in for the long haul. Mental really, given I bought them about 9 months ago for £20 a share and re bought around £12.50 a few days ago. Holding for decades my arse.
I thought Persimmon had cut the dividend all together this year?
SLASHED by 75% to 60p per share, but the share price is way down so the yield is actually like 4-5%.
Bought some more today. A deeper hole is a better hole, right?
Sold these on open after getting the dividend. Reckon it’ll be a 10% return for the sake of owning something digitally for about a week.
You could make an absolute fortune if you knew what you were doing.
You already do know what you're doing, it's just a question of risk tolerance. Grabbing 10% wins here and there is far above what a savings account would grab you. The big dogs making fortunes will happily net 0.3% per month playing it safe, they don't need to play these games.
It's a real shame you weren't on this back in the Penny Stonk days of Covid 2020 Foe. What days they were. We thought nothing of 200% pumps and 800% dumps.
I should’ve bothered my arse during covid to do this, rather than twiddling my thumbs watching shit films off the IMDb list.
I’ve got a pretty high risk tolerance at the moment as it’s pretty apparent I’ve got an awful lot of safety net even if it did all go bang. I’ve drawn the line at crypto, but basically any ftse 100 company is a go if it looks cheap. My pal was trying to get me to buy a whisky cask (no thanks).
And with that I’ve bought into Tesla and Netflix today.
Friday evening American share trading has not gone well for me so far, but watching ross county losing on tv is bleak.
Everything has been trending back up nicely though, bar harbour.going to buy more if it keeps going down.
I’ve also decided I’m going to unload loads of my company shares that aren’t sitting in the “share incentive plan” umbrella.
If I’m going to own them, I might as well do it in an ISA so I think I’ll bin most of them and buy them back, if they drop, to hold on an ISA.
I bought a load of my company shares in the New Year and they just do fuck all. +0.18%
One of my better performers.
Bring back Mellin.
I’ve lucked out on a few shares schemes.I bought a load of my company shares in the New Year and they just do fuck all. +0.18%

Buying £9k worth of shares that are up 85%, of which I’ve still got 2/3 of to sell, and I’ve got another £9k maturing in September that will more than double at the current share price. The problem is getting rid of the fuckers with this capital gains allowance. Going to transfer the September bunch over to an isa, but the other ones are stuck.
If I can avoid the sack, I reckon I’ll be able to be mortgage free in a house by my late 30s and can then fuck it all off and become a postman or something.
Or by my late 30s the neonode punt will pay for my mansion.
Have you got a financial advisor to help you put the gains in the right place at the right time to avoid the taxman, or are you just winging it?
Just winging it.
I’ve been keeping an eye on capital gains to avoid breaching the limit, same with dividends.
Unfortunately (fortunately?) my promotion and bonus last year means I now need to do a self assessment tax form, so I’ve been reading more myself anyway. Hopefully I can shuffle things a bit better this year to avoid that next year.
Long story short, salary sacrifice into pension and share plans transfer within 90 days of maturing into a stocks and shares isa is the way forward for me.
I do the vast majority of my shares in an isa now which is critical for capital gains, but the dividend limit of £1000 might screw me over and there’s not much I can do about that, aside from unloading my company shares as I discussed above.
I have to do a self assessment this year. First time too. I think I’ll just pay someone.
Bitcoin seems to be climbing. If it gets to £28k (pounds, not dollars) I’ma sell all mine. Currently just over £24k.
I'm a twit
I cba to chart it, but it looks like it meets resistance on the all time chart pretty soon.
Got a decent profit to take out Baz?
Shares on my radar for the next two weeks:
Legal and general - 5.5% dividend yield going ex 27th, still bouncing back from the banks dip so could be a double win.
Glencore - 3 or 4% yield in early may. Miners are a bit volatile but that’s right up my alley.
Tesla - I shamed myself and bought some shares ahead of the results next week. It’s a hedge for me vs. my fossil fuel day job. Think I might just start trading these.
I might try and teach myself more on this when I’m next off. I need to get better and hold longer to get more of a gain, I seem to cut short too often.

Bay Capital casually up 10% over the last week with no apparent reason. I assume stuff must be happening behind the scenes finally.
Neonode next
Was hoping L&G would fly today ahead of dividend on Thursday but everything sunk.
My toe dipping back into miners has gone poorly.
Decided to buy some long term holds - persimmon and palantir (again). Hopefully this time around I hold firmer.
Also annoying that S&N is going to fly, as I unloaded the last I had of it a week or so ago as I wanted to hold it in a different account. Coincided with a significant share price rise of course.
Calculating my 104 holding on my gaff shares was an absolute nightmare. Made the mistake of buying some more of them a few months ago. Never again.
Didn’t even last a day with persimmon. Binned it today as it was flying.
I’m a whore. Too easily sold.
Long term is boring.
Bought into palantir again over the last couple of weeks as above, turns out that was an excellent decision after their results today.
Going to sell maybe 60% of my holding tomorrow on open I think if it is genuinely up near $10/share. Keep the rest.
On the flip side, about 18-20% of my portfolio is legal and general, which I kept buying pre dividend as I thought it was value and the fucking thing keeps getting cheaper. Historically it’s normally above £2.30 so it really should get its finger out.
