I learned a very good lesson a couple of years ago. I manage my wife's and my own account, on her account I just researched and bought and left well enough alone. My own account I kept chasing runners and trading like a lunatic and lost a bunch whilst hers kept pulling away.

These days I'm far more picky about what i invest in short term and am able to resist jumping in the fomo train , PLTR and RIDE being excellent examples, though perhaps I was too cautious on those but there I learned too about setting limits. I'm getting too old (and maybe wise) to chase stocks that move >15% a day or the likes !

Similar story here, hard lesson, I only ever buy on lows now despite how much FOMO I'm suffering from.

If the stock I want isn't at a low I time my entry or pickup something else that is.

I use two brokers, DeGiro was my starter account and is red all over but up 20% due to a few Growth plays. I'm gradually getting out of my crappy picks.

My other account in Interactive has never been red and shows a significant gain.

How would you describe the speed of your tax returns on share trading?

Very fast = 10. Very slow = 1.

Very close to 1 myself.

I've actually set up a 212 account to do just that for DCA approach on stocks I see as 5 year hold. Degiro is just my big red whale. All I want to is to get to 0 or even +1 euro. Seeing - and red every day is tough. But patience seems to be the key here.. However with Edesa which is one I am chasing.. it just keeps dripping down. I bought at 8.6 at the start of September, its now 4.78 and counting down...After a big buy i'm trying to DCA to average down, a hybrid of sorts..

I'm not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and fear it might be a loser, going to give it until for more trials news and just go from there.. but if it hits 4.5 first my alarm bells will be going off

My degiro account has been in the red for almost 2 years now overall. Not great for the mental health.

All the shares I've made small plays on have made huge gains and my big plays have all dropped 40/50%.. Such is life (damn hype stocks where all logic goes out the window)

BUT The last 6 months has taught me a huge amount but still in the red so to see people go from 5k to 10k gives me hope and is a serious return. Congrats I'm hoping to be in green some day!

I took profit 2 days ago from my degiro shares. Had turned 5k into 10k since April and liquidated half of all quantities so freerolling the rest now, they have got a whack the last few days, but you gotta take the red with the green.

Had to take it out for mortgage money which was the reason I was playing around with it but boy does this industry get you hooked for life, bit obsessed with reading absolutely everything from a lot of sources, blogs discord, podcasts, email subscriptions, mywall st etc.

There's lots of stocks I want to get into but can't for above reasons and I cant wait to get back in next year or whenever I finally get a house and start a proper portfolio I don't need to sell some for others again.

At least I actually took profit this time which is the hardest thing to do. In the last bitcoin boom, i turned 5k into 32k then cashed out 5k and didn't want to make that mistake again. Crypto really is the wild wild west and I much prefer the stability of the stock market.

nkla is speculation IMO, people are buying based on the cancellation announcement, hoping it will go up in the future.
A very risky strategy, and one that makes a TSLA investment look solid by comparison!

doolepat

Some fun today... red across the board - almost every EV play that I'm tracking or holding in the red, NKLA up 7.5% at the minute... explain the logic on that one :-) Holding long term across portfolio so not panicking plus only investing what I can afford to lose... €1k bet on WKHS will have to wait until the 2021... looks to be a buying day though for anyone with the spare capital though...

Your belief in what you invested in will be tested.

My testing continues, Fastly with a high of 87$ just three days ago and now testing the 77/78 waters again.

Edesa can't seem to hold a rally and continues to drip below 5$ - still waiting for that funding news. I am now 100% bag holding. My original buy was 8.6$

AMD is my diamond in the red today, holding strong at +3% gain.

Patience patience patience but hands are beginning to tremble.

In other news the euromillions up to 200m I'm off to buy my golden ticket, perhaps I'll have better luck there!:pac:

major raid across the markets, the big boys are positioning for 2021 and 2022 , driving down many sectors and looking to load up before xmas hols and compound their gains as vaccines roll out and some form of recovery begins in the early spring 2021. Strap in its going to be bumpy .
Your belief in what you invested in will be tested.

Im content my portfolio is well spread across a number of sectors with long term holds , some covid plays, some cyclicals, tech sector, cloud, emerging EV, renewables and a few investment venture capital disruptor plays.

So what a year its been for trading, one for the history books, I doubt we will see the likes of it again in our lifetime.

Life isnt only about money, so looking to get back to some other interests in life and in general Im planning to worry about it all sometime in January.
Put on a fire, grab a book, a hot chocolate and hunker down, Winter has arrived.

PLTR getting destroyed premarket on Morgan Stanley downgrade to $17, watching to see if it holds $22 (bottom of the old channel) , if that goes $20 or below is in play, glad I am watching from the sidelines this time, its very interesting though from a TA perspective.

It's the IPO way, lots of gains and drops in the first 6 months

Yeah I am in them. My average is 22p, a bit late to show, but better late then never I had a sell limit at 30p. Cancelled it this morning. I think this month, we will see a further rise.

Yes you can say bye bye 30 google showing highs of 29.50.
Some regular and reliable posters on LSE are more confidently predicting x times current backed up some less questionable data

Not so sure, IAG (the one I follow, but not yet invested in) spiked and then dropped into the red. Go figure.

Not sure about airlines unless ryanair or similar who have a fleet of 737's, short haul, single class, lowest cost base and money in the bank.
IAG and lufthansa mix of long haul, aircraft, classes and higher costs will need to change many of these variables to operate profitably

And to answer another question re DeGiro & PSTH.

Degiro classify SPAC's as "Complex investment products". This related in part to the included warrants and higher risk profile, this is how it differs from a normal share.

You need to get your account privilege settings changed which involves doing the exam. It's easy!

I have 95% of my holding of PSTH on Interactive Broker but also have a few PSTH shares on DeGiro. To avoid confusion I mailed DeGiro and they said I'd receive the warrants when allocated.

Very helpful, I have the order, should be executed today when the market opens.

I might also mail Digero about the warrents..thanks again for your inputs..

I've never dealt with warrants before, are they tradable on Degiro like shares and secondly for tax purposes are they considered CGT or income?
Trying to make my mind up whether i should get involved in this without fully understanding the vehicle as it were.

Uncharted territory for me with DeGiro but they have assured me I would receive them, whether they can be traded is another question.

They can be traded on Interactive Broker.

A stock warrant is a financial contract between a company and investors that gives the investor the option to purchase the company's stock at a specific price and by a specific date. A stock warrant allows the holder to receive newly issued stock from the same company that provided the warrant.

To give you an idea of where I'm at on PSTH I'm holding 7500 (+ warrants) @ a buy of $21.57.... GLA!

You mentioned draft kings in an earlier post. A great way to gain exposure to gambling industry in the us is betz etf. Imo as the puritanical gaming laws are changing state by state there will be massive demand .

Thanks this is a great idea... I'll definitely look into this.

Have Roundhill a good track record? This ETF is small in size and volume but I'm guessing that's down to how new it is?
