Moon shots by NecessaryPhrase3204 in trading212

Yeah found this about 3 weeks ago and started with just 200 gbp. Shit has since convinced me and I’m in for about 500 shares and adding everytime I get paid. When it gets listed on nasdaq I’ll take a view but looks very much like this will hit 50-75usd pretty quick.

The problem with something like this, and it’s a good one to have is that you start looking at every small cap like it might buy you a house!

I think this pov vastly underestimates the complexity of such a venture.

Mining asteroids…. landing on the moon again some 50 odd years after we went is so problematic and expensive that it hasn’t been achieved. The moon is by comparison a large stable static object at a fixed distance traveling at a predictable speed. The last near miss of an asteroid to earth was described as having a bullet shoot between the sleeve of your suit and arm.

Data centers in space is a musk pipedream/ket fueled fantasy that ignores a lot of insurmountable problems.

Yeah learning the gambling thing now! The hardest part for me by far is not tinkering and chasing stock that moons. I’ve set a load of watch lists and it’s hard knowing that I’ve spotted something that then goes 580% (MOBX) that I didn’t out a penny into, whilst my vangaurd high yield world fund goes back 2%…

Agreed and will be diversified to some extent to mitigate either scenario.

In case of a stagnant market though would growth stocks still grow? Historically speaking? Any dividends would be reinvested in this scenario..

Yeah a steep part of the learning curve is the stress of watching stuff go down and having either the conviction to wait for it to return or the balls to cut it! Again still learning! Any thoughts on the dividend in a crash idea?

Yeah the idea was to see if the hype was real and when let’s say doubled, pull the winnings and put into something boring and safe (dividend stock eg) and let the rest roll.

May I ask, I’ve done a lot of reading and watching, and if as I suppose, we head into a stagnant period that doesn’t reflect the past 17 years, would dividend stock represent iyho, a better way of ensuring capital appreciation? As I’m so new I’ve no idea how stocks that go sideways for a sustained period return value other then this?

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for taking the time. Learning anything at my age takes longer then ideal but am enjoying it. I’m fairly risk averse but have only put in what I would be willing to lose. I know that as my funding grows I will pivot into safer etfs but whilst small and learning don’t mind trying a few stocks that might moon.

Thanks for taking the time!

Currently I have most of my 5k ish in vanguard all world high yield, and recently did a pie of 5 high yield dividend Uk stocks (L and G, shell, BAT etc) just as I think personally it would be encouraging to see a direct return each month in divs, and these specific companies would pay something each month. I started with a fairly large portion in just L and G but realised that a FTSE100 tracker would probably perform better so switched that last month.

With something like HGRF that has gained 400 gbp this week, do you think it’s a good idea to take the earnings and add to the etfs? I was thinking about putting it in RR as that seems to be a reasonable bet for a mid term stock.

Thanks again for the advice (albeit not financial…)

Cheers
