Lost £50 on those fuckers a couple of weeks ago. :lol: 

I’m not actually paying attention to any individual stocks. I’ve been reading up on how to identify patterns in market trends and buy/sell within a few seconds to a couple of minutes. 

Logged on today and the market was tanking so all I did was bet on it tanking more and did pretty well out of it. 

Dropped from £220 to £85 today.

Nio,

Chinese electric cars. Seems to be doing well. Continuous growth since its commencement but still at $32ish.

Fucking hell! I told you. I told you.

Small amounts, more as a hobby.

Told a US VC earlier today that the pre-money valuation in their term sheet is unacceptable to us and suggested a TC to discuss. We are not bluffing, if they are not willing to increase the valuation we will leave the negotiation table. Nail-biting days ahead! 

Phew. Meeting to be held in the coming week.

Crypto crypto crypto, eh? Bitcoin 22-23,000? 

(I have missed out I'm afraid, mostly because I am expecting a crash, and secondly because I am a bit suspicious of the whole thing and do not really understand it).

PS

Tesla joining the S&P on Monday.

I've been YOLO'ing my savings into all sorts of cryptos over the last year :thumbsup: I have money in:

BitPanda crypto index funds (both BCI5 and BCI25 - an index of the top 5 and top 25 cryptocurrencies)
BTC (Bitcoin)
ADA (Cardano)
NEM/XEM (Symbol)
ETH (Ethereum)
LINK (Chainlink)
XRP (Ripple)

All doing very well, some of them went up 30% in the last week alone :) 

I also put £100 into CHZ (Chiliz) last weekend but I didn't really research it too much. More of a punt tbh because it was so cheap (1CHZ=£0.0099), but it's already worth £117 so Im wishing I'd bought a lot more. The CHZ coin is used for sports fan engagement and has already got in with some huge football teams like Juventus and Barcelona which I take as a good sign that the coin has some value to sports clubs and it's fans? I think it'll go up in value as they sign more and more sports/esports teams, and it seems like they've barely scratched the surface there, but admittedly I don't really follow sports so it might be worth 0 by next year, or it could be worth millions, who knows :lol:

I'm avoiding buying BTC right now as I expect it to go down soon, but plenty of other alt coins will continue to rise so its not too late if you have cash to spare and dont mind a little risk.

People have gotten very rich on it, but I just don't understand it all, and I am not putting my money on something I don't understand. Buffet hates cryptos.  

You know why Bitcoin does well?

Pornhub haha

I'm trading S&P 500 futures. Market is pretty bunched up at the top here. Hoping for a surge when the US market opens at half two.

No ''Biden stock'' (Canadian cannabis companies, solar power and EVs)?

PS

And I have completely given up on corona vaccines, although they are probably still good for long term investing irrespective of corona. They save the world and flop like a saggy pair of tits the next day! It doesn't make any sense. (Should short them when a vaccine is newly certified by a country really? You'd actually be rich if you had been shorting Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca for the last two months! Utterly strange).

Never intersting in buying stocks or bonds.

I learned how to read the stock market in high school, but forgot it. lol

This is somehting people with money do and since I don't have any money to spare of lose I don't bother with it.

My mom had a friend who worked in the stock market. All that yelling on that floor, why do they act all crazy? Meanwhile some of these people fucked so many Americans in the 80's and no one gave a shit. it's all bullshit. More money schemes that regular hard working people don't give a shit about.

Not really. I don't use a lot of money. I do it more as a hobby really. $200 - $300 should do it sufficiently well. Either stick it on an ETF or two, tracking the S&P500, Dow or FTSE, or split it between some giant blue chips like Amazon or Apple. Or combine the approach. Watch it grow. Fairly risk free and fool proof really. Buffet says that is the best way.  Heck, even if you only have $50 to spare, there are worse things in the world that you could do then chucking it on Amazon. That $50 will be worth much more ten years later.

Yes. The stereotype. Suits with braces; bags of cocaine; limos; high-class prostitutes; massive brick like 1980s mobile phones; sushi diets. ''Greed is good'' - Gordon Gekko. 1980s corporate greed is as relevant as ever really, case in point the 2008 crash, the banks chucking (largely Chinese) equity on America's dodgy sub-prime property market which led to the collapse of the market and revered banks. The Wolf of Wall Street and Wall Street is as topical today really; it isn't as if those are some historic time pieces and the events couldn't happen now.

It is worth learning and analysing the financials. Just bought into Rolls and noticed the financials are atrocious. There is usually a reason some of these ''biggies'' are crappy stock - Boeing and American Airways are also dodgy:  they are usually running on debt and have no cash flow basically.

Have you ever heard of the Turtle Trading method before?
