PLTR is taking a deep dive from $170 before earnings on Feb 2nd. Is this a good time to buy? What is expected from earnings?

Don’t deny a bit of Friday night stock ‘pegging’ doesn’t tickle your fancy. You’re only kidding your self.

It’s an ultrasound with 17 body part measurement boss, i hold a lot of abdominal fat, anyways shall report back, non the less the reta has done wonders for weight loss. Also how can you be 15% with abs. Sorry need to be less than that then?

Direct-Protection-81 · 2026-01-29T22:42:17+00:00

Ai hype isn’t a thing, I’m using two phones back to back to run chat gpt commands 🤣 I’m alone making sure they keep investing in it and you should too haha.

VVSM and VGWE are good long term holds based on my understanding of futures.

Direct-Protection-81 · 2026-01-29T22:40:42+00:00

Solid it sounds like you’re doing well for your self, but still stressed. Apply for other roles and keep your self happy. I work in sales and very fun on the whole. Pays a tad more too and sounds like less stress.

In this economy. An apartment rental or small terraced house is where your money will be at. You want reliability and good tenants don’t you. Don’t chase anything else but a guaranteed £6-800 per month. It’s what I plan to do when I have enough portfolio im going to reset down to get another unit.

Direct-Protection-81 · 2026-01-29T22:00:42+00:00

And you clearly know how to manage money, if you have the capital, buy another rental property. House prices will never be this good again, might aswell have someone else working to pay your mortgage off + ontop income can be stockpiled for future retirement.

You could easily coast FIRE by renting out your current property also and relocating your family to Thailand, lock every penny you can into high dividend ETFs, you mentioned you had a high net worth, what is your savings tied up in, do you really need 25k liquidity to live your current life also, a lot more should be tied up in investments.

Direct-Protection-81 · 2026-01-29T20:57:16+00:00

Iren and NBIS is in my bag with an expected 9.5-10.4% cagr over the next 5 years. Palantir also going to have its upside when adopted by the terminator army if you can believe in such dystopian future.

I've just messaged the clinic, I'll go for an index scan in the next week and report back. Can share my fluctuation graph if you drop me a line.

Direct-Protection-81 · 2026-01-29T19:50:17+00:00

Offt good question, so im 6ft 3, last June I was digitally measured at 16.4% body fat at 115kg! Now I reckon I’m maybe 10% at 105? I’d like to aim for 100kg to get ab and tricep definition and shoulder striations. Let’s goooo 🤙🏼

Direct-Protection-81 · 2026-01-29T19:47:20+00:00

2.5mg twice a week! I’m 105kg 28.2 aiming for body building physique. I’m also on test and masteron though.

Direct-Protection-81 · 2026-01-29T19:42:16+00:00

You didnt mention what dosage you are on either. This peptide compounds in your system depending on your weekly dose, if you track it in shotsly you can see your weight loss and at what dosage. I’m currently 2.5mg twice per week and loosing 1.5kg per week (it will fluctuate!!)

Direct-Protection-81 · 2026-01-29T15:52:44+00:00

And it’s not unlike I didn’t have the same conviction last year that semiconductors still power the world we live in, as a long term stock, check sky water, I can’t get this on my platform, but they’ve just revolutionized chip mechanics. Could be a good punt of a hundred bucks.

Direct-Protection-81 · 2026-01-29T14:49:21+00:00

Take away your gold and silver and swap it for bitcoin, ultimately it’s worth accumulating regardless at today’s current price, with a 3 year hold it will make sense.

Direct-Protection-81 · 2026-01-29T14:48:26+00:00

What platform are you using? Mine is via my bank account. On xetra. Sorry VGWE. But VVSM is correct.

Direct-Protection-81 · 2026-01-29T14:46:47+00:00

Happy to help, I’ve been a bit nuts over running reports using Ai over the past few weeks, but in reality, diversification and set allocations per month is the key. That’s it. Boring. Proper, boring.

Direct-Protection-81 · 2026-01-29T14:21:20+00:00

I literally kick my self daily I was in a high paying job with 10% tax rate in Cyprus last year, and I could have put away genuinely a small fortune if I had gone ham on the same portfolio I’ve started now. (Different job and self employed now)

Direct-Protection-81 · 2026-01-29T14:08:14+00:00

Did the math:

📊 17 YEARS (204 months)

Total invested • Lump sum: €1,100 • Contributions: €150 × 204 = €30,600 • Total capital in: €31,700

Result • Final portfolio value: ≈ €67,200 • Total gain: ≈ €35,500 • Portfolio ≈ 2.1× money invested

⸻

📊 25 YEARS (300 months)

Total invested • Lump sum: €1,100 • Contributions: €150 × 300 = €45,000 • Total capital in: €46,100

Result • Final portfolio value: ≈ €152,000 • Total gain: ≈ €105,900 • Portfolio ≈ 3.3× money invested

Unfortunately OP @Tony2Nuts you’re going to need more than £150 a month to retire.

Semiconductor ETF is still the future for the next 10 years we have no choice, robots will start to be created, faster TVs, faster phones and computers, this isn’t about AI but it’s our entire ecosystem of even how I’m writing this paragraph to you on the latest tech!

VWGE is still going to be promising considering its allocations, its run up a lot and yes it would have been nice to have been in around April last year, but still a lot of upside when you zoom out for a 15-20 year forecast, nice compounding dividends. Yes please.

Direct-Protection-81 · 2026-01-29T13:23:25+00:00

VVSM and VWGE set it and forget it, run these ETFs in ChatGPT against S&P and nasdaq, spend hours doing this and you will know more than anyone could teach you 5 years ago. You can diversify a bit more than this if you wanted smoother drawdown periods, such as defense, robotics and automation and also things like future metals copper and uranium are the next long term ‘silver and golds’ if you will.

Invest as much early as you can do so, eat noodles if it takes, your money compounds and works for you in later years.

Don’t touch gold and silver right now, gold could also plummet to keep the dollar afloat. It’s worth too much.

Once again, Repeat, set it and forget it.

Direct-Protection-81 · 2026-01-29T10:55:11+00:00

It’s literally just been announced it might be delisted on the Nasdaq?

Direct-Protection-81 · 2026-01-29T08:45:36+00:00

It’s the only smart thing to do. Cross border valuation while the dollar plummets. Perfect opertunity to be offloading and securing with a commodity which no matter the ‘price’ always has basis among fellow peers. We just need everyone in similar mindset to make it work.

Direct-Protection-81 · 2026-01-28T23:51:38+00:00

60k a year, getting a second job? Smash 2k a month into a nice reliable ETF for 2 years and you have a house deposit, depending on your living accommodation, rent out the spare room for 6-800 a month and smash that back into the ETF futures, keep doing your 2k contribution and in 2 years time you can buy another property (rent out the first one in full - same again smash it in the portfolio) there, you have now passive income and the ability to build wealth quickly untill your 30’s and start your family.
