Rev Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 This is a good thread. I'm just waiting for someone to post about a company I've never heard of, in advance of their shares taking off a week later, before I smash my life savings into them. Hope you was on RevEnergy this time last week. cstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been looking to reopen a share ISA, so this topic has come at a decent time, but with no charges or fees I can't see a catch, and if you can't see the catch I'm not inclined to invest, if something looks too good to be true it normally is. There will be a crash at some point, markets can stay irrational longer than investors stay solvent, those riding the wave can enjoy the profits but always be wary a black swan event can come along anytime.

Hope you was on RevEnergy this time last week. Yes I’ve watched and looked each week but refrained from commenting on companies, as your posts highlight the danger of words on a bulletin boards. Some day a bad call that has enticed someone to invest or put them off from doing so, will unfortunately be the reason another poster lost a shed load or missed a fortune. When the grapes sour, it’s always someone else’s fault. Thats not a dig at you Rev, just over the years seen it so many times. Advfn is a cesspit example of this kind of activity Rev and cstand 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 17/12/2020 at 22:10, cstand said: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/savings/lifetime-isas/ Martin Lewis explains it very well imo Thanks for the advice, both. I've looked into it and it says you have to be living in the UK to pay in. As the plan is to go back to Budapest in February until July, I'll hold off until the summer. After that, I'll probably set one up. Edited December 20, 2020 by DarkFruitsRam7 Rev and cstand 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram1964 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Due to a bereavement just become an executor to my aunties will. Whilst sorting her finances came across some shares for Shell. Wasn't expecting them to be worth a great deal due to the number she held and nearly fell off my chair when I saw the share price. Unfortunately I will not be a beneficiary.

Kinder Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I’ve definitely lucked out with Tesla. I bought 3 shares just over 3 years ago for £846. They’re now worth £7,102. Crazy really and I obviously wish I’d bought more! Mostyn6, Rev, TimRam and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always liked the thought but it always seemed a balls ache to do. I've now found a simple app that makes this really easy. Trading 212. I'm hooked now. Just stuck what I could afford to lose in there and it's simple as, no commission either. Have U tried etoro u can invest small amounts and track /copy other people’s trades .. they take a tiny cut of why u make but it’s like an eBay style sort of thing where u can see reviews for them and pay performance... certainly not a quick fix or get rich quick scheme but an interesting way of doing something I enjoy but no little about Angry Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just checked, and I think your £800 investment would have been worth about £450m now. cstand, Ghost of Clough and Kinder 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitcoin is still expected to go higher in 2021, I have invested in Argo blockchain at 16p just before Xmas hoping it will do better than Bitcoin but if Bitcoin drops Argo will drop like stone.

alexxxxx Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 What's the best way to get in to this sort of thing to play around with a couple of hundred or whatever to start with? Isa wrapper or some other platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say Trading212 for smaller investments, Hargreaves Lansdown for larger long term investments. cstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
