CoplWhat's that in?
Come on Chunky - use the Queens??Copl
I had a nice flip in Cloudbreak recently. Got a bag and put.
Ooops sorry.Come on Chunky - use the Queens??
A bag (in the sense bag holder) is when you are left holding it and it's down over 20%?Ooops sorry.
Cloudbreak I bought In at 6p and sold out at 11.9 so doubled my money (they call it a bag if you double your investment)
I wasn’t heavy in there and for once timed it well.
Yes I thought the symbol was cool.Symbol is UFO. How cool is that?
I have been a holder for over a year and have made zilch so far.
Much prefer Chariot

Gone up 50% in just over a week , who needs dividends ?No dividend ?
I’ve had them before. Very erratic and high risk. Can’t see the NHS spending much on antibiotic induced deafness in babies. Wasn’t even aware it was a thing. Personally I’d look elsewhere tbh.Is anyone looking at Genedrive GDR at the moment?
They’ve never managed to sell anything yet (hence price) but have clinical trials under way with the NHS for a testing kit that stops antibiotic induced deafness in babies.
I am hovering on this one as the upside is massive although it will depend on commercialisation
Cheers Neil. Good feedbackI’ve had them before. Very erratic and high risk. Can’t see the NHS spending much on antibiotic induced deafness in babies. Wasn’t even aware it was a thing. Personally I’d look elsewhere tbh.
Redx cheap at 63 penceI have taken a right kicking recently!
I'll never look at Netflix the same way again although I keep loading up
It's a tough share to hold at the moment with the ups and downs but potential is huge!Gone up 50% in just over a week , who needs dividends ?
Netflix I think is a bit different.Interesting (and predictable) that stocks like Netflix and Peloton etc have returned to pre pandemic sp values. It was never sustainable outside of lockdown and artificially forced market conditions. People have largely reverted to their normal routines.
Netflix's biggest issue is that they have been incredibly successful in normalising paid streaming services.Netflix I think is a bit different.
The world is moving towards streaming and Netflix is years ahead of its competitors and investing heavily in content.
If you look at their accounts they class all their content as worthless after 4 years which is simply not true.
As Netflix expands around the world and they stop password sharing it should grow massively - they are already monetising this in South America as a trial.
If you remove Russia from the latest figures Netflix grew by another 500k subscribers last quarter and they typically slow down the Qtr after a price rise.
The stock market isn't rational and I am betting that within 2-3 years Netflix will be 600 plus again.
It's not advice, it's just my opinion after research.
That's the market as a whole, but your pot should not be subject to such fluctuation. If you don't know here your pension is invested, and more to the point who is investing it for you, better find out quick.Don't know what my pension is invested in but I've had a month where it's fallen dramatically In value but in the last few days has bounced back.
Look at ARCM - Told a JV announcement imminet (been a long time) should double your money DYOR ...
I'm in arcm. Deal soon to be signed off. Have a look at AET also. Deal backdated to April 22. Aggressive management team too
Thanks seaside. We are in a not dissimilar situation as after liquidating most of my positions I am left with £95 cashThis is my opinion and not financial advice....
A global correction in the markets has started and will continue for a while.
I have liquidated most my positions and am now 95% cash.
If I am right I will dive in when it’s happened.
Good luck whatever you do
If you want to invest your last £95 I have these Magic Beans - we could call them Bitcoin or Ponzi or similar??Thanks seaside. We are in a not dissimilar situation as after liquidating most of my positions I am left with £95 cash
I've done ok out of Crypto ...If you want to invest your last £95 I have these Magic Beans - we could call them Bitcoin or Ponzi or similar??
Why not……I’m due some luck. DM meIf you want to invest your last £95 I have these Magic Beans - we could call them Bitcoin or Ponzi or similar??

Seasideone, Are you still living in Singapore?Many people did ok with Madoff initially
Sadly not - we officially left in November and currently traveling around Thailand for a couple of months.Seasideone, Are you still living in Singapore?
We will be there from 20th Feb for a few days.
Glad you’ve had the start of a recovery Mike.How’s everyone doing?
I have had a bit (well rather major) recovery - thankfully!!!
Ash mate, you should only do what you’re comfortable with - nothing more.Glad you’ve had the start of a recovery Mike.
I’m still “boring-Joe” on the city, I have yet to cash in any money from my “modest” personal pension fund but on the back of the recent rally I have converted an element to cash to accommodate my “Forecasted annual spending to December 2024.
I think global markets generally are firm at the mo, all the bad news is out there bar Ukraine which is still a “tinder-box” for world markets in my opinion.
My Airbnb & property investments are returning a steady income, I‘ll never get the “massive windfalls” of dealing in single stocks and/or crypto that you boys who invest in will get but I think “time of life” considered I’m in a relatively happy position without taking anything for granted.
Good luck everyone
Cheers Mike,Ash mate, you should only do what you’re comfortable with - nothing more.
I still only have about 30% of my pot in the markets as I am still expecting a reasonable drop!!!
That said, I am dollar cost averaging a further 50% of my pot in over the next two years or so and keeping 20% in cash for daily needs and to react if the market does go down big time.
The Shares that have bounced heavily for me are….
Netflix (my biggest holding and bought at about 250)
Rolls Royce (paid about 70)
IAG (aka British Airways paid about 110)
Hii. (Paid 180)
Boeing (paid 190)
Alibaba (paid 80)
Down on
Meta - can’t remember what I paid but 20% down
Alphabet - paid 110
…but not worried
Level on Bank OZK
…but convinced that is priced at about 50% of real value
Trackers - a relatively small amount in the ishares S&P 500 tracker.
I also bought a lot in Microsoft yesterday after it dropped, again convinced they will be back.
I don’t hold anything else as I sold my Sprouts shares a few months ago for a tidy profit and wanted the extra dollars to buy more Meta and Alphabet
I tend to buy a lot in shares I think will return and not buy too many companies.
When I started I was a bit more scatter gun but as Warren Buffet says - you should approach an investment as if you are only allowed to buy twenty positions in your life.
Anyway, I hope all do well - and it would be interesting to know what is in everyone else’s portfolio?????
Lower your risk tolerance as you head towards retirement and stick to the 4% rule and you'll be fine!Cheers Mike,
Sounds like there is some good stuff in there & some good turnaround too
My Aviva is mainly medium/high risk about 20% FTSE 30%S&P 35%Dow 15%Asia (Mainly China)
I do envy those with occupational final salary pension schemes, whilst you keep your personal pension fund it’s a bit of a “roller coaster” knowing “when it’s gone it’s gone”
Much more fun than Cheltenham this!Is the market on the cliff edge?
If Credit Suisse goes then in my opinion all bets are off - or rather down considerably!!!!
How big are you gonads - do you short the S&P 500 massively???
Interesting times!!!
If it does go over the edge - I’m going all in and will not sleep for a while.
Thoughts, and what are you doing??
A bet at Cheltenham is probably more sensible at the moment!Much more fun than Cheltenham this!
