I've asked before if anyone on here does or knows anything about this - Been given a couple of tips on the following Tlou Energy, Horizonte Minerals, Arc Minerals and Melrose from a friend who does ok out this stuff anyone have any pointers particularly on the mentioned etc.

Again from a long and trusted friend been suggested to use Crypto.com and buy Etherium, Chainlink , Bitcoin & Crypto.com and put in a "90 day" earning wallet .

Got ISA's & savings but sick of earning nothing ... Looking for some tips ..

Thanks
 
Bit uncertain times at the moment.
Travel and leisure is cheap at this time.
Easyjet and Carnival cruises when we stabilise
I did well during the bitcoin craze a couple years back. Steadily climbing again.

I don't know much about those specific tips, but the three pieces of advice I'd give if trading shares are:
1. Do plenty of research before buying. Seems obvious, but for practically any company out there you will find a youtube video saying it's the next best thing. Don't fall for it. Look at the actual company data, their balance sheet, who is their CEO etc. It doesn't take long and is fairly easy to interpret even for a relative novice like me.
2. Be VERY strict with the limit on how much you invest. It is a form of gambling in the sense that it can become addictive, as it's so easy to buy shares these days, and the price is update in real time.
3. Don't panic on daily changes in share price, or even weekly. You do need patience, and if you aren't a professional day trader, you should think of it as a mid to long term investment and really shouldn't need to buy and sell constantly.

Good luck!
 
I’m in Arcm and Syme which have both done me well this month. I’m also in Copl which has double bagged and waiting on news so hope they will go much bigger.
That said, I missed a couple of great i ones like Eua and copped a bad one with GDR - though Bill Gates is holding GDR too so hoping one day that will turn too.
I have decent hopes for GWMO and Thor but they’ll take patience.

I got ARCM cheap at 2p and steadily increased holding - I'm told big drill news imminent with AA in the background so could see price rise massively. HZM was a hold recommend but interesting as you say you think it looks promising ? Tlou also and also to keep until thing stabilise and MRO a rollercoaster ride for fun. Mate does it for a hobby and massively into research advised me not to sell any ARC until at least 10p he has 10mill shares.. When I say hobby its a £750k hobby ..

Some simple rules.....

1 Never invest in a business you would not want to own 100% of it
2 Never invest in a company you do not understand
3 Fully research all companies, CEO and board - owner CEOs or ones that act like that are my preferred.
4 Debt is very bad on a company - Especially now - the less the better, ideally none.
5 Invest for the long term.

just to add....

Most platforms offer a demo/paper trading account where you can trade dummy money for free.

Try one of those first and see if you like it!
 
HZM up 45% on the day - a day too late there on the tip unfortunately. Great RNS out and as I said I thought there was potential.
Not a bad rise in your investment even for mugs.
 
Gold shot up during the last few weeks. Took profits as it slipped back and yesterday fell over 5% for various reasons.
Dipped my toe in again this morning at #$1920 per ounce.

Penny shares are a massive gamble and only a few pay off. Been stung in the past with the “next big thing” especially the “pump and dump” merchants who advertise regular.
Other problem is the spread ( buying and selling rate) is usually large and may require a massive rise in price, just to break even.

Have my eye on some of the USA tech stocks. They are far overvalued and soon time to “short sell” them.
Tesla motors and even Apple will fall back at such crazy prices.

I am sure Simon Sadler has similar ideas!

I use trading 212 it’s really good 👍🏻 And if you use the link we both get one free share chosen at random ,the site is free to buy and sell shares and you can buy very small amounts .
 
Everyone has their own thesis of course, but shorting Apple when a huge % of kids will not be going back to school, and iPhone 12 is due?

I know it is not the wisest to go against the trend but the bubble is close to bursting.

Just looked at Tesla and they are up over 10% so far today due to a 5-1 share split announcement.

Apple up 3.25% right now as well.

Good luck, but I am not betting against either the Fed or Tech, but I agree well over priced.

Yep I am down but not too concerned . I have a stop loss too .
Amazing that Tesla adds billions on to the value because of a share split!
Crazy but reality will kick in one day.Seen many of these bubbles.

The Tesla price is crazy - now over 12% up today - at what point will your stop loss kick in - I don’t like any seasider losing money?

On Saxo I would have a margin call by now!

Stop loss is 1560. Have take any loss on the chin. Made plenty of gains recently though.

Edit just closed at 1545 ( $ 500 loss) and now joined the madness buying at 1548.

Not sure we have seen too much like this before - last month Nikola (riding Tesla’s coattails and whose name derives from Tesla) was valued higher than Ford, despite the fact they’ve yet to ship a single car.
 
It’s sounds to me like there’s a Bond Villain at work.

“Vot do I expect? I expect you to lose money Mr Bond hahahhahaaaaaa!!!”
 
ARCM apparently imminent news on drill results the MM's are playing with it each day now but been rising quite nicely still worth a buy at 4p apparently - Been told sulphide results are good which should indicate good copper results etc for batteries . Been suggested I keep away from oil and some traditional energy and look to the future such as mineral and element mining and clean energy companies , told China demand steadily increasing for such even under Covid and will actually speed up the electrification of transport and renewables.

Advised to go back into traditional stocks when crisis is looking nearly over such as Banks, BAE, Builders, RR, Airlines etc ..

Still could do with tips for short to medium term investments .. Been told to look at good road haulage & freight companies ..


Thanks
 
DeGiro is a great low cost broker like £1.60 a transaction with access to tonnes of funds & stocks.

trading 212 has a great easy to use interface, less stocks but free and are capitalising as Robinhood isn’t launching in the UK this year as they originally planned.

I’m just starting out but like the look of lithium mining companies as a long term hold; Livent & Albemarle are two of the largest.

trying to find companies that aren’t debt ridden is the hardest part 🙃😅.

Nvidia look interesting as they produce graphics cards and are involved in Ai.

ill certainly add some s&p500 funds, google and amazon (when it calms down). I believe our friend Mr Sadler got in deep in Tesla early... Segantii Captial is worth looking through

did the guy with 750k portfolio do well due to penny stocks? Or did he have a good outlay to begin with?

In the crash following The US sub prime my friend went aggressively for major bank shares.
He even extended his mortgage to do so.
We all thought he was crazy as the run on banks was building steam - it paid for his chalet in Switzerland 18 months later....

Trouble is he can't get there without quarantining.
 
Currently 10 stocks in my portfolio - largest holdings in 4D Pharma, IQE & Omega Diagnostics.

Currently looking into Simec Atlantis Energy with a view to taking a large holding as a 1-2 year play.

You said that 3 months ago. 😬
Not so sure you’re right. Yes, the markets are extremely volatile, but generally I’m expecting another few months of increases before the inevitable re-adjustment and profit taking. In this country, a hard Brexit could see most stocks tumble to March/April levels, whereas a trade deal / softer Brexit would have the opposite effect and rapidly return shares to pre Covid or above levels. It’s a gamble for sure.
Vaccine trials and rollout across the UK will be another significant milestone to tip the market either way.
I’ve set a selling price for every stock in my portfolio and as soon as they hit my target price, I’ll sell them.

If we all could predict how the markets will turn, no one would have to work again.
I agree that there could be more upside to come but to predict the top is anyone’s guess. The continued upward trend has surprised me although I am pleased as have ISA holdings. I maybe a little premature to short some tech stocks however they do not grow to the sky and a fall will happen sometime. I am now hedging both ways with Tesla and had success with the spikes and dips. Lost out yesterday when shorting after a 6% rise in early trading. To increase up to 14% on news of a share split just shows how crazy the market is and reminiscent of the internet bubble.
