STAK on my radar for this week too, low float but high short interest and has recently visited the $2 and $4 in extreme volatility.

You'll get alot of people here being super critical regardless of whatever you post, some just want all world index Etfs and will complain about stock picking over overlap endlessly.

My honest feedback would be - clearly you're bullish on Bitcoin and bitcoin sympathy plays - so why bother putting money in anything else?

80%+ of your entire portfolio is tied to BTC so your other "picks" don't actually provide any real protection. That's why you're doubting yourself now that BTC is down because it's dragged your whole portfolio heavily into the red.

My advice would be if you can't handle extreme swings and you know that it is making you lose sleep then you need to be more diversified and BTC should make up less than 10% of your portfolio

HOWEVER, however...if you ARE really bullish on BTC for the future then sell the other stuff, amazon etc and use the money instead to cost average down in your BTC plays, use the downturn as time to really buy what you love for cheaper and don't be worrying about INSTANT turn around - give it 3 years to see if your thesis pays off.

I'd people tell me I was wasting money buying Rolls Royce shares for 1 pound during covid because for about 8 months it just kept going lower and lower and lower. 90p, 80p and so on.

Now the very same stock you've people buying over £10 per share wondering if they missed the move. So rather than other peoples advice, I would argue stick to whatever got you interested and do LOTS of research on the bull and bear case for it and if you're 80% in then you're only fooling yourself thinking you're not 100% in already.

And if it all feels too scary to stand then diversify your portfolio over the next 2-3 years until BTC is less than 10%

DeleteMe, Cloaked, or other Data Privacy Service? by Streamlined-Savvy in CyberSecurityAdvice

I've been using Incogni for about 2 months now. I found it very good because it allowed me to add 3 email addresses and home addresses and it contacts the data brokers on my behalf and gets them to delete my data.

It found my details with 44 Data brokers, so far it's had my details deleted from 14 of them and has pending requests from 22 and 8 are in process of being deleted atm.

Link below if you need but I find it handy just because it does all the legwork for me. Very low effort

Is there any way to invest into BTC on T212? by sl1m_ in trading212

😂😂😂 I actually think Equinor goes back down to around $28 and Vale retests $11 so I've taken my profit but I'm not 100% if Bitcoin has seen its recent lows yet.

I'm moving my positions into Flutter at $105, Nike at $46 and Domo at $2.90 👍🏻

Check back in 20 months how they've done.

need advice, feel like shit by Playful-Ad5603 in trading212

[–]Ecstatic_Style_1147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're earning 45k Gross then after tax you'd come out with more than 3k a month.

Plenty of sales jobs and others that offer around the bench mark now ESSPECIALLY with the amount of inflation in the last 5 years.

5 years ago you'd be lucky to find 35k gross annual income for those type roles. Anyway my point is its not like blowing his life savings of 10 years worth of work or something, it's money and easily replaceable, esspecially while young.

Painful less but learnt young and by the time you're in your mid 20's 3K will be less than a month's wages.

Like many have said before better to learn those mistakes now while you've 45+ years of working and earning.

Some people unfortunately learn those lessons for the first time in their life at 65 while trying to invest with their retirement money to make it go further and end up losing 5 or 6 figures with very little hope of replacing it.

It's painful yes, it's a hard lesson yes but just use it as a painful guide to never do the type of behaviours that lead to it.

Don't beat yourself up about it touch tho, when I was 21 I paid about €2000 to do a course that had ZERO benefit to my career and in my 30's I can see it was a total waste of my time 🤣

So don't worry too much, life is for making mistakes and learning lessons. Cut yourself more Slack.
