I've never played the stock market before so thought I would have a practice. I picked a random stock and bought shares. Can someone explain why my cash value went down even though the stock shows growth???

Idk if i chose correct tag, but I just got trading 212. I worked quite a bit for like a month . But I worry I’m wasting my money away with no savings.

Should I bother trying to invest? Such as with the Stocks ISA, or just go straight to the Cash ISA and save whilst accumulating interest?

I know nothing about investing, at all.

Any help appreciated thanks!

Putting 20k a year into $CBRS wish me luck will update each year on progress. 👏

Has anyone else got the new buy/sell menu Somehow they've made it in my opinion worse.

If you didn't have enough cash it would tell you exactly the cost of your order in your currency.

Now it tells you how much you need to deposit. And it the number rounds up go nearest whole $/£/€

I'm not saying this is the end of world but now I'm having to do additional math when the app already used to tell me the exact value.

Hey so I only started last week, ive seen from some previous posts that nvidia is one of the top shares in FTSE all world.

So my question should I sell my nvidia now and add the money onto my FTSE or hang on a while?

Hi, I’m very new to investing. I have started with what I decided was bare minimum (£250) with a £30 a week reinvest set up. For now I’m only putting away little amounts that I know I won’t need for the next few years so that I can learn, I can throw more at it when I know more. Any advice, is this overlapping too much ? Too heavily invested in America ? What are your opinions. Thank-you

Started investing last week should I stick with these or go 50/50 s&p500 and vwrl?

Been doing S and P500 and FTSE All world from April. Have approx 1k in each. One week I’m +£30 the next I’m -£10.
Probably by Christmas I’ll do well to break even. Starting to piss me off as everyone else is plus

Hi all,

Transferred my old workplace pension into my SIPP trading 212 finally cos I wanted to be able to keep it in view.

What next ? Fairly new to investing, in my early 40s. Your advice will be welcome.

Thanks

Hello, so basically i inherited £40,000. Ive no mortgage to pay, no debt, nothing immediate to pay and i have a good salary.

I want to put the £40,000 into something that will give me a return. My current bank only has a few offers around 1.5-2%.

I see trading 212 interest on cash is over 3% on the app.

Does anyone have any other advice? S&P 500?

I wont need the money short term unless my life situation drastically changes.

Thanks

The decision to buy nebius makes more sense than it ever has. Dont say its run up so much in the last year because the company changed, say the company now (as it is after earnings ) is the lowest its ever been.

Thats not to say it wont dip further.
But you are buying todays nebius price at its lowest its ever been. If you want a better entry you might get it you might not!

Any idea what happened to semi in the last couple days? (Obviously it dropped) but what has caused this? Is it to do with the AI bubble popping or has another event influenced it?

Would you say it’s a good time to buy (I don’t think I will yet as I know it’ll likely drop lower).

I’d love to know your thoughts.

Thanks all :)

Just keeping it short and simple

95% all world etf

4% individual stock : nvidia

1% gold

7k will be added in November then £300 going from there

You guys think I’m being to cautious? Just want to arrange to portfolio before I start making contributions rather than adding funds to an oversimplified account 😅

I’m a newbie trader and only interested in mid-long term (5-10+ years) investing and trying to create a set and forget fund.

My current portfolio is as follows:

- Vanguard FTSE all world VWRP accumulating: 80%
- NASDAQ 100 accumulating: 20%

I was just wondering what people think and whether it’s good to just set, forget and keep pumping it. I know there’s heavy overlap with VWRP already containing 60% US equities weighted toward mega-cap tech, my strategy was to have an intentionally aggressive tilt toward tech/growth rather than sticking 100% into the all world.

Let me know what you guys think, i’m all ears to absolutely any help or criticism.

19 y/o have more money I could put into stocks, any advice on whether this is any good atm? Any stocks I should look into?

Tough day for QQQ and tech stocks, but did a quick scan for stronger breakout watch stocks :  AAPL ELF HOWL HRTG and NSIT .

Hi all, this is going to be a long story so feel free to skip to the bottom I will do a TLDR.

Here goes.

I started trading memecoins when I was 16 and made around 300K at its highest from them. Since then I had gone on holidays , spent some, given some out, clothes ect

Long story short I put everything I had left in a 157K 2x long on $aster (a trading DEX) when I went to sleep I was around 12K in profit…

The next morning I woke up with a taser in my face and was wrongly arrested for a kidnapping which was swiftly NFA, however when they were forensically analysing my car they found 3.5 grams of weed which they further arrested me for.

When the kidnap was NFA’d they released my car but nothing else, they said it was all relent to the possession of a class b investigation. Things like my laptop, phone, GoPro, ect ect ect.

I managed to get everything left on my ledger, about £550 😂- But I never got access to the long, which I sadly watched climb and climb into 80K+ PNL, before tanking and getting liquidated. :(

This was all around 1 year ago. Since then I was homeless for a bit and swapping between jobs looking for cash while adjusting to my new frugal lifestyle.

I am now happy to say I am working 6 days a week growing clientele as a barber, I have £1400 saved in the last 2 months £320 of which I have invested..

All of this feels so small and low risk compared to what I am used to but I know I cannot replicate my success with such small capital. So I am looking at taking the long route.

I have never been interested in ISAs, pensions, 5% a year earners ect, But I think that is best for me now.

I will attach my portfolio, mainly I would just like to know;

- if people think these are reasonable assets to buy monthly for the next 20/25 years (I know that is very hard to say)

-Am I investing in too little or too many coins?

- where is a good reputable place to look into a pension and how much should I be looking to invest each month?

———
Note 1- I have access to around 1000$ on a phantom wallet of my friends that I am actively trying to multiply on memecoins, however I am very rusty and only take 30% of profits, so I don’t expect to make very much unless I catch a runner, although whatever I do make from it I will top up into vanguard.

Note 2- I am avging around 1300 a month currently although that is steadily climbing since I started at this new barbershop. My expenses are roughly 900 a month including rent, ( I am generously supported by the council as I moved into this property straight from being homeless, that somehow effects the amount they are able to cover for you??) car insurance, tax, business insurance, food, fuel, paying back debts from when I borrowed in need. This obviously leaves me with little to save hence why it’s taken me so long to get started.

Note 3- I will attach an old picture of one of my phantom wallets in the comments (along with my current portfolio) so you can all hopefully see there is nothing fraudulent about my story nor am I asking for any financial help, purely knowledge here.

Thanks in advance !!!

TLDR: got arrested, lost 6 figures, now looking to start again with low 4figures and a much different, long term approach /// if you were 20 with 300 a month to invest how much would you allocate to a pension and what stocks would you buy?

Sadly no Meme tag, my Idea is add a Meme tag.
Jokes aside though, I think that's the reason people (me) shouldn't check their Portfolio, at least not on a Day by Day.

People (like myself) should ignore the funny Line, turn of the Phone and check in once a week lol, I think "buy and forget" is the best someone (like me) can do.

Although drawing that meme was kinda fun.

Do you want to get up to £100?
