    Any suggestions to buy stocks in legal marijuan. I see it expanding more and more in coming years.

    Pull up a chair buddy ... I could tell you a long story going back to 2017...

    Or just buy Aphria ... Although its around an all time high now, maybe it'll break through. A few years ago I tipped it at 17 which didn't go to well but it's back again.

    Medipharm is getting positive interest again.

    Greenrose Acquisition Corp if youd like to take a punt on some mysterious purchase in the future. Someone mentioned it a while back so I jumped on the hypetrain. They have a few more months before making the purchase yet so who knows.

    Have a look at r/weedstocks for the next hype train.

    USA market is just to diverse at the moment so there's many small players.

    People are loving Cresco Labs but I can't see them on Degiro right now (only EUR Frankfurt)

    Jesus i just did my own basic comparisons on 212 of AMC vs GME over the last 3-4 days and the peaks and troughs are almost identical barring the close on Friday.

    How this cannot be classed as blatant manipulation is beyond me.

    It did happen.

    Do you think it was the army of redditors sweeping up offers from order books in the millions every day pushing up the market?

    RH plus other free brokers sell their order flow, Citadel is main buyer. You think they gonna outsmart Citadel?
    HFTs, WSB algos whatever entity you can think of front running your orders. Dark pools. They can see the market moving before it even registers on a ticker.

    Big dogs can pull the rug from you at any moment. You not gonna WSB at their own game.

    Best thing was to hop on and hop off when you start to get greedy..

    as SmokyMo said about the dark pools ..they can see the trades coming in and use algomatic trading to make a quick buck on the spread.

    People talk about this bubble we are currently in regarding stock prices. I am interested to find out do people have stop losses in place for their entire portfolio?

    I have a pretty diverse portfolio at the moment with 30 different stocks. I don't have any stop losses in place so feel very vulnerable.

    What's people strategy on this? Stop loss at break even price for each holding?

    Scary really, but these trends are observed in the green also.

    I think it just shows how little impact individuals have on stocks. As people can’t agree on anything yet stocks regularly match each other.

    A lot of people are buying or Selling GME are also doing the same with AMC and probably at the same time... so you would expect a correlation

    Done. Went in with...
    L&G Cyber Security UCITS ETF
    IAG
    Disney

    SolarWinds are on a downward trend this week so I'll see if it goes a bit lower before buying in. BTW, if anyone is interested, this was the positive news for SolarWinds that makes me feel they'll bounce back stronger... https://www.zdnet.com/article/solarwinds-hires-chris-krebs-and-alex-stamos-as-part-of-security-review/

    So I just need to stop checking my portfolio every 5 minutes and accept that this is a long term game :D

    Looking forward to being part of this group.


    Which market did you purchase L&G Cyber Security UCITS ETF?

    Great days yesterday and today. Lovely to see all that green flashing in the portfolio (except for the usual NIO). Tech stocks flying it at the minute.... GOOGL & AMZN both reporting earnings this evening - while i hold neither currently, hopefully good results will add some fuel to the current run!

    As an aside does anyone use DeGiro for DCAing on a monthly/quarterly basis? I'm guessing there's no way around not being able to buy fractional shares? This is what has stopped me from picking up the likes of GOOGL, AMZN so far. Hard to DCA into something thats 2or3k a pop :) Maybe once every 6/12 months as part of a rebalance would be the only way.

    Had been DCAing into MSCI World ETF on EAM up to last year. Handy as commission-free on DeGiro and in € so no currency fluctuations. Did pretty well but the 41% exit tax is a killer.... so decided i'd take a more active approach to the portfolio! the 1270 annual exemption on any gains, and offsetting of any losses convinced me it's a better approach to take.

    Yes you will always have stocks that track each other....

    In the case of GME and AMC 99% of the investors will be the same. If they are feeling greedy prices will rise if there is fear prices will fall. I don't think you will have that many investors who are expecting one of these shares to rise while the other falls especially as it is speculation that is driving the momentum and not any fundamentals.

    USD loosing value... if it don't hold at 1.20 to the Euro it could easily fall to 1.18 where there is more resistance.

    If you have USD exposure worth keeping an eye on it.

    Gaining you mean.

    Hello all. In my view, people are mad to only invest in 3-5 stocks. Someone mentioned being overly diversified with 30odd. I don't think that's overly diversified at all. You might go heavier on some stocks than others (I def go heavier with clean energy than SP500 broad) but diversification is a good thing, especially if you find a platform that doesn't charge a transaction fee.

    Anyway, for anyone interested, here's what I invested in towards the end of December. As you will see, it's highly diversified. The management fees average about €3 for every €1,000 invested.

    Fidelity MSCI Energy FENY

    Posting this might earn someone a few bob, and I'm really interested to hear critiques/advice/comments if anyone has them. I'm up 7.6% over the five weeks or so. Given the diversification, I'm very happy with that.

    I was thinking the same when it went sub 100, that I would sneak in and sell if it jumped up.

    But I promised myself not to get further involved in this madness. So I backed off.

    As I recently posted about going in on 3-5 stocks :) I should say that this is me dipping my toe in. I plan to increase my investment over time and build towards a more diverse portfolio. Clean energy is defo a good call.

    Would also be interested in hearing people’s thoughts on this. I don’t have any stop losses but will need to introduce soon as I contribute more money to the investment pot.
