Advertising on TikTok is managed by a company called The Trade Desk who I bought this week.

This was a massive shout, well done. Currently $415 and rising.

Yeah it's a monster of a company, was $287 before the crash in Feb, bought it at $170 in the dip in March, up 143% since then.
Added again at $311 and $370. The more I read about it the more I like it. They supply the advertising on a bunch of different streaming services, like Roku, Amazon, Comcast and Disney. So they get income from all those as those grow, but aren't dependent on any if they do fall away.

Replace AMZN with GOOG, MSFT, AAPL, FB...all hitting or nearing highs today.

When they get broken up due to regulatory requirements, nothing is forever.

Degiro fees are cheap. Depends on the share but buying and selling fees could be €1 in total. Other companies (eg Trading 212) have no fees on share trades.

If 212 don't charge and DeGiro do, why are DeGiro more popular?

Aren't Coca Cola's increases very mediocre considering the behemoth of a company they are?

It's perfect for a long term diversified portfolio. Where behemoth banks, department stores, and tech giants have become bankrupt as well as fallen massively in market share, Coca Cola has remained ever growing over time.

It was at $40 a share 5 years ago versus $45 today. That seems quite a boring increase

I'm looking for something that could almost double 10 years from now. Surely something like Amazon is a better choice for that kind of increase?

Yes but the initial poster I replied to was talking about holding stocks long term in a diversified portfolio.

You're looking for guarantees of doubling your money in ten years? I mean sure all indications are Amazon is an unstoppable force and if it continues on its current trajectory it could easily be triple it's current value in ten years.

I'd be looking into competitors and politics carefully though. Amazon's reputation has been mixed in recent years and the new crop of upcoming politicians (democrats) want to limit its growth.

Has anyone took a plunge with the airlines yet?

Keeping an eye on Southwest, surely one of the most secure airlines to come out of all this in once piece.

Yes, but a stock you hope would be worth double 10 years from now is far more likely to tank within that 10 years. Besides, you didn't factor in an unprecedented, once in 100 years global pandemic, so all those people with a good chunk of their savings in Coca Cola would be delighted that its 8% up rather than 80% down. Built like a tank, which is what I'm after.

And to look at the share price misses the majority of the gains. Modest capital appreciation along with a current dividend yield in excess of 3.5% per annum means that's where most of the gains have been made.

To have a chance of achieving your objective you need to buy at a price that gives you at least a 3 to one probability. Do that for 10 or 12 stocks and you should double your money every five or six years.

Of course it requires hard work and discipline two things that seem to be in short supply.....

Avoid cfds like the plague! Look at the disclosures cfd providers have to advertise. I saw one recently where it said 70 per cent of people lose money on cfds

Dunno. I've been using Degiro since 2016. I only heard of Trading 212 a few months ago. I opened an account and put a few quid in to try them out. Seem fine.
An advantage for me is they allow fractional shares. I bought a few hundred quid of Amazon, Tesla & Google.
To buy one of each normally would have cost several 1000.

Yeah i've been looking at IAG yesterday and kinda sketched out a rough plan, goes something like this
Buy 2.36 needs to hold or all bets are off (i wont be the first mover)
Start selling from 4.43 to 5.66 all out at 5.66
Buy 4.43
Sell 6.39 all out

Will be a long and kinda boring trade so not going to put much in it (5 months)

bcklschaps

On Degiro for a couple of years. Fees are pretty reasonable, its the various charges lobbed on by the exchanges (and Government stamp duties) that really grind my gears. European Bourses are gone mad with their charges.... US is the only place to trade, without feeling like you've been bummed.

Are there any limitations or funny stuff about 212? for instance, is it possible to open a new account at the moment ?
