    Didn't have the courtesy to share on the 2019 Share Picks? :D Some returns YTD, can they continue that momentum into the New Year.

    For me, a few safe bets for the year ahead. I believe Mastercard and Visa will continue to grow this year as the world continues to move from cash to card. I only bought into both in the past couple of months. Delayed the trigger for ages and finally bought in, the growth over the past couple of years has been relentless.

    Facebook will continue to dominate social media advertising revenue so I can the stock continuing its recent upswing.

    My apologies. This is the first year I’ve started seriously investing.

    Yep Visa/MasterCard is a solid pick. In financials, I’ve invested (small) in Square and Stone Co.

    Really, take a look at the level of private credit and the the general consensus that personal credit is likely to be the next source of a financial crisis. How are either of those companies set up to take the hit?

    These companies are facilitators. Visa doesn't directly lend money to consumers through its branded credit or debit cards. The money being borrowed comes from the financial institution that actually issues the card, such as JPMorgan Chase or Capital One.

    You think the brands will survive without the funding..... they need a plan...

    And if you think the brands are worth it, then buy when they get hit and everyone else wants out.

    Yes they’ll survive, they did during the last Financial Crisis. They’re financially strong..

    As for the future - e-commerce had the potential to drive explosive growth for the company.

    I'm thinking of putting some money in the city of London investment Trust, would you view this choice as a well balanced investment?

    I'm slightly put off by the trust being exclusively UK - sterling based?

    I bought some Tesla shares a few months back and has performed very well since. I'm unsure whether growth will stagnate as market cap is already pretty significant - however if they get their supply chain and battery development right in the medium term, they will perform very well.

    I also think Workday might have a better year next year but it might take some time to make any decent returns.

    I'm not familiar with this trust, so my comments will be general in nature.

    The first thing to consider is just the act of investing in a UK based trust. The value of a fund is based on it's holdings, so allowing for timing, you should not have much of an FX exposure in that sense.

    The second one is the big issue - the holdings. If the fund holds a broad global portfolio, the currency that the fund is designated in is not a big issue, but this fund seems to have a strong bend towards LSE stocks, so you would seem to be investing in the UK economy and not just choosing a currency that the fund is dominated in.

    So the question for you is why would a Euroland resident want to invest in the UK economy? Presumable you will also spend in Euros...

    It has a solid reputation but perhaps is more suitable for UK residents?

    It's difficult to buy funds without being stung for the exit tax after seven - eight years?

    Visa / mastercard are payment processors


    And where is this "general consensus"

    Just because there was a deep recession recently, doesn't mean there's one coming anytime soon.

    Before the last recession, the previous one was in the mid 80's

    Do you mean in an Irish context?

    Irish recessions have no effect on global equities, there was a recession in the US post 9-11

    Yep, you must have bought at a fantastic (looking back) price. The forecast stock price for the next 5 years looks encouraging (no guarantees). Know doubt they’ll be ups and downs along the way..

    Long term holds BAM, BIP, STOR. The oil stocks also are interesting, watching OXY there, seems to be in recovery (early days, watching for a cross of the 100 ema and staying there before buying) but like all others in the sector oil prices need to continue their recent upward trajectory.
    Short term speculative (targeting $12 in 2020 , currently around $7): APPS
    May add SPG to long term hold/dividend account if price stabilises, not convinced we are there yet. MAC is another REIT I'm watching for the same reasons.

    If it wasn't for the deemed disposable rule I'd just invest in the S&P 500. Are there any funds that Irish tax residents can invest in, allow the value to roll up, and only pay tax when we sell?
