Investing In Shares

Like I said at the start , it’s aimed at anyone that feels their capable of doing 10% so obviously not for a novice .
There are people out there that are capable of trading that but don’t have the capital so this can be a life changer .
 
So you are suggesting a site that allows people with no capital, and no experience, to sign up to an account where in 90 day they can “learn” to be a trader is not gambling.

This thread is about investing. Not for short term trades in a highly complex market where less than 80% of “investors” make money, and certainly not for a firm that isn’t regulated by the FCA (or any other regulator as far as I can see).

The odds are worse than red or black, so yes - it is gambling.
 
I have lost money on several small individual shares like Sirius Minerals, D1 Oils come to mind. They are in general best avoided for members of the general public with no inside insight. Buy Trusts or Funds is my advice for small investors (people under £100k over investment money). Ones that are quoted on the stock exchange. Never listen to cold callers or offers where there is no stock market quoted price. Managers of funds/trusts typically charge 0.5% that's £50 a year for a £10k investment for their expertise.

You just seem to making your own story up here .

The service is there for anyone capable of making money that don’t have their own capital but have the knowledge. It’s not a crash course or an educational service . If it’s not suitable to you don’t follow it but there people out there who have the knowledge and a service like this can change their life it’s that simple .

Drip feed it into a global index fund such as fidelity world index and choose accumulation units so your dividends are reinvested. Don’t touch it or do anything else. That’s it.
 
I would not stop anyone putting everything into a decent tracker fund, but its the investing equivalent of a 0-0 draw.
 
I started back in March with £150 invested in 2 companies using the trading 212 app. Those 2 companies were tesla and nio.

I've slowly invested about £1500 of my own money and I now have a portfolio of £4500. This was money that would go on takeaways or other pointless crap.

It is a gamble, but if you do the right research into companies and can see their potential future, then it can result in a nice little extra income.

If I'd have left the money I had saved in a traditional savings account, I'd have probably made about 5 quid.

Although I don't own massive amounts of shares, I'm pretty confident that within a few years I'll at least triple my current portfolio.

Company stock tickers I have invested in and would recommend.

Appl
Tsla
Fuv
Lac
Rkt
Nio

RKT is one I have invested quite a lot.into at the moment, and although I am down atm, I am confident things will be fine.

They made over 5 billion in the last quarter and 3.7b was profits. They currently have 10 percent of the market cap and their aim is to take 25 percent in the future.
And the price of 1 stock is insanely cheap at $20 dollars.

This company has the potential of being very similar to lendingtree. And they are valued at $300+ dollars.

If anyone is going to join trading 212, send me a pm and I'll send a referral link and it gives you the chance of a free stock for yourself and also me.
 
I’m using their demo account now £150k up in 5 days with CFD’s but that was with crazy leverage not a level I’d choose to trade at .
There’s certainly a lot of volatility in USA stocks

Unless the OP has some kind of edge over the market, which is highly unlikely, then he should go for the broadest based stock market index fund to maximise diversity and minimise charges.
 
A lot of firms are stopping dividend payments pending the end of the pandemic, but if you choose stocks that are unaffected by lockdowns - like supermarkets, tech, pharma, pensions etc, then you should be able to return >5% pa on dividends, plus whatever you can make on the shares when you sell.

Making money by DYI trading is hard work. You need to be on top of the news at least 18x7 at the moment. People on here resent paying advisors but I'd rather pay someone 1% to make me 7% than spend all day staring at a screen to make 4%.

I think ultimately that's the road I want to take mate, you've summed it up perfectly.

You don’t need to pay anyone 1 percent to get 7 percent. You can pay a fraction of that through index funds. Most fund managers do not beat the market and then you have to pay their fees. You don’t have to do that with passive funds and you will bill broadly diversified across global stockmarkets. Google the late great Jack Bogle and take his advice.

Find us another Tesla please (and for those already on the Tesla bandwaggon, let us know when to sell).

NIO

Could potentially be the next Tesla, especially in China. Currently 18 dollars a share and they have slowly been increasing sales and expanding. They also have an excellent approach to the batteries within their cars. You don't own the batteries. They also have a method of replacing the batteries very quickly. So instead of charging, you just get a replacement battery.

I bought in when it was 6 dollars a share (My return is 181%) and I feel it can easily goto 50-100 within a few months when the next earning report is released.

Another stock to look into investing is named 'Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust' their ticker is SMT.

This is a consistently growing stock that has stocks in many diverse companies, Tesla being one of their main investments. If Tesla goes up, then this generally does. If you look into their history, you will also see a steady growth rate.

As mentioned previously, if you make an account on Trading212 with this link
www.trading212.com/invite/FMJUCz8l then we can both get a free share upto the value of £100. Though you do have to put some funds into the Invest account to be eligible.

You’d prefer to make your own choice rather than take advice from people who do it for a living?

Well in the last year my 2 pension funds have lost money. However the small amount I put in shares I buy to play around with have all gained.

So yea I like to take responsibility.
