Should we all just watch babestation at a pre determined time and pretend it’s real?
Unfortunate but these things happen - the risk was clear.
Now, if you could give some stock tips that would be better as I appear to be terrible at that and am way further red from that than this.
You have Smith & Nephew don't you? It looks like it's bottomed out. Double Bottom in Feb and March, should be going up from here. I can't see fireworks though. The price isn't massively far from fair value. Also, if you're buying big companies like that for the long term, you may aswell just buy an ETF and have someone manage it for you. I doubt there'd be much difference in growth between them.Originally Posted by Foe

Yeah smith and nephew doesn’t seem to be moving much. It pays a dividend though which is some solace. It’s around about where I bought it though - I probably went too large too quick.
Legal and general (dividend)
Bmw (dividend, electric vehicles?)
Smith and nephew (seems a future stock, dividend)
Rolls Royce (Russia fucked this up, I actually debated selling it for a profit in feb)
I’ll probably hold the above long term if I can’t bail out.
I had persimmon (which I bought for the dividend, after the ex date in error) so sold it nearly straight away (for a profit)
I’m chucking £375 a month into a tracker fund. Realistically I should’ve lobbed the whole lot in this, but where’s the fun in that?
In reality I’ve sold a bunch of my company shares, so I’ve probably only invested £5k of new money.
I’m lucky really, I’m pretty liquid so could absorb catastrophes pretty well. and I’ve acquired a heck of a lot of my company shares so just trying to bin them off whilst the price is reasonable.
I wanted to buy relx but the price just keeps rising towards ATH. Also fancy something like sainsbury as supermarket should be a relative safe haven?
Ideally I need to plug some money into renewables to offset my career. The company pivot will probably tank the sure price.
Warren Buffet's clearly never gong to go and die so just buy Berkshire Hathaway and never look at anything again.
I'm going to have to have a very difficult Skype chat with the camwhore.
What's the value in his? He doesn't pay dividends so is the value that the share will always go up?
Yeah. Like he's always said, if you want/need some money, sell some shares.
Dividends are great if you want a stable income as a retiree, less so if you're trying to make money. Almost all companies paying dividends are already huge, and have no interest in growing further (otherwise they'd invest their earnings, rather than throw it at investors). You have to be careful of Dividend Traps too. So many shit companies taking on debt just to keep the dividend in payment, because they're scared of losing investors.
You are usually better buying for growth than for dividends, although that isn't easy in this market.
Swing trading is the daddy though. I made about 60% over the last 2 weeks, just holding a 3x short on Tesla. 15% of that was today. Obviously that's subject to your willingness to be active and monitor though. My bank details are available via PM lads. Investment starts at £1000.
Yeah I’m staying well clear of trading. Too much downside.
I’m just looking to hold/consolidate some shares so I’ve got a mix of finance, so large dividend companies are fine. I like the punting on a company strategy though.
Tesla seems way too high for what it is. And yet, up it trends.
I’m just done having zero conviction. I fancied Netflix back in 2015 and did nothing. I saw the vaccine news on bbc news at like 7am when it was first reported and knew the market would rise across the shop and did nothing. No more. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong. But I’m going to take some punts.
'Get it archived this thread has been great it's only £100 get it in the archive nice one Mellin four months was a bit harsh wasn't it this should be in the archive.'
But for the avoidance of doubt, my long term financial plan is back to winning the euromillions after operation Villa’n failed on take off.
Absolutely class Magic by the way.
I hope this was a scam and not just Mellin being shit at this whole trading business.
He's talking shit. Mellers nuked the account before the withdrawal.
If The Group says so then it must be true.
Magic called out the corrupt group and got silenced. Then they ran off with our money. Sad!
I only ask the questions...
I'm not going to pretend I knew if those numbers were good but it did seem like they were crawling along. For what was supposed to be a smash and grab, too.
Spikey.
Unlucky Mellers.
I've always wondered whether this sort of 'plan' is better suited to scalping X amount every day as some sort of wage, rather than as an exponential growth route to retirement. I'm sure plenty of people do the former, although obviously you need a bit of capital to start that sort of thing. Good luck with the next run.
Was expecting more of a run tbh. Shame.
Drag. I know you said you'd refuse money but I'd be good for another £100. Fantasising about my massive returns was nice.
Which is obviously a tragic state of affairs but there you have it.
Yeah, come on, if you're actually quitting your job to do this full time, let's go again when you've got the time to dedicate to it.
Mad cunts. I'll think about it.
I’m in. You’re saved in my payee list now so I can ping it too easily.
I'll go for the quarterly standing order, or is that too ambitious?
I feel like I’m days away from talking myself into buying an RS6 so I’ll have to take out a bit of a loan to cover it. I can easily add a grand on if you want?
Didn't you just sell some impractical boy racer Audi to become a family man?
Yeah.
My argument is the RS6 has a huge boot and back seats so will accommodate baby seat and pram. It's a ridiculous idea I know.
Sounds perfectly sensible to me.
Mellin! Mellin! Mellin!
I'll re-invest.
Is this the new money thread now?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-61102759
I saw that and enjoyed it very, very much.
An outcome nobody, NOBODY, could have forseen.
Yeah I saw Jeremy Padawer feigning sympathy while definitely lolling out loud.
I'm a twit
Never really wrapped my head around NFTs, it sounds like BS when I first started hearing of them and that remains the case today so when you day nobody forseen it, am I right in assuming you mean in NFTs in general or just that particular one?
Fuck it. Let’s go again.
Are you on it full time yet and what's the max buy in this time?
Full time as of Tuesday coming. No max buy in. £50 minimum (and rounded to nearest £50). Might do Binance. See what the starting figure is. WhatsApp group for all participants.
I'll be in for £50.
Happy days. I had and have no clue about what it actually is but there aren't too many threads created here that I've read from start to finish as I did with this one a few days ago.
I'm in if enough decide to give it another go so just let me know what you need. Assuming just the cash in which case, I'd much rather transfer direct from my bank than have to sign up to PayPal and the like then I'll sit back and hope lady luck is smiling down on you.
Good stuff. So, honest appraisal of what went wrong last time.
We increased the account by 180% and made a decent start, whilst not sensational. Then we plateaued for a bit due to a combination of inactivity and chop in the market. Sensed a bit of frustration on here, and felt it myself also, that we'd been sat around 10k for a couple of weeks. Decided to try and blast through the ceiling with a high leverage options move. This failed as firstly, I was wrong (obvs). Secondly, it was stupid. Thirdly, there are no stop losses on options. I broke away from process and relied on my own will to get us out of a deep red trade, which I completely blew. Turns quickly and manual exits are left open to second guessing. So the learning here is be right (obvs), but the main one is I have to discard options as the stop loss is key to such aggressive trading. Keeps the red percentages small and the risk low(er).
On the plus side, 5 more 180% increases would equal 1.7 mil, so we were on the right road and I'm more convinced than ever the big play is there to be had.
Trust the process.
Easier said than done but your mentality needs to shift a little. You can't see it as playing with other people's money as it'll affect your judgement, sticking when you should twist whatever, you've just got to go with your gut instinct, difference between £10 and £100 is visually is only an extra zero. Discount it. Your stake/budget whatever, it is what it is and it'll be whatever it ends up being.
As for the frustration, I didn't quite read it as that when I read the thread but I sensed it was the sporadic updates that caused that if anything? Regardless, in the words of Brick Top, "If I throw a dog a bone, I don't want to know if it tastes good or not". Just do your level best to ensure the bone is so big that we all end up feasting on it if the big play arrives.
Hopefully the majority who chanced it for the first run will give you another shot.
Yeah, just lock the thread until we're all millionaires. No need for the updates if they're going to play with your head like that.
It was definitely a distraction, but I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a part of me that wants to run it all through the thread and smash the living daylights out of it.
Also, I am not a dog.
Life lesson, ignore impatient fucks.
In, obviously.
No max.
And surely the lesson is never do anything without a stop loss. I'm personally happy to wait a while for the bags, but enjoyed the updates.
I’ll be in again
