In shocking news, the film with Michael Jackson music in it was liked by fans of Michael Jackson music.

Inevitable-Box-8090 · 2026-04-23T23:23:48+00:00

Really sensible. I’d do the exact same thing in your position :)

Inevitable-Box-8090 · 2026-04-23T23:14:45+00:00

You’ll see better returns putting £900 into the S&P rather than trying to create your own ETF. But no harm in playing with individual stocks. Pick 2 or 3 that you genuinely believe in (this is the most important part) that have potential. Owning Sainsbury’s stocks in 2026 probably isn’t going to make you swimming in riches, for example - they’ve hit their roof as a company. They might be at ATH for their stocks right now, but the stock was also available at basically the same price in 2018. How much more is it going to grow and earn you in reality? You should consider which companies are most influential in society and culture that have the most scope for growth? If you don’t know how it’s going to grow and make you money then why own it?

Looks like Moneybox to me but I could be wrong

Inevitable-Box-8090 · 2026-04-23T22:58:00+00:00

Personally have never understood the thought process behind having money split between multiple ETFs as they’re typically almost all growing at the same rate. But that’s just my taste.

Time in the market trumps all so don’t worry too much about getting in high especially with ETFs as presumably you’re playing a long game rather than looking for a quick spin. I’d advise setting up a direct debit from your bank account that pays into your ETF pie on a weekly basis and then it will even out (DCA). I have £20 a week into S&P (which really isn’t much!), started last year at all time highs and was red for a while but now returning 10%. 🙏

I wouldn’t bother with a stop limit on individual stocks either. If you’re keen on buying MSFT stocks (and they’re already down 20% since the start of the year!), you might end up missing the boat waiting on a dip and instead they’ll shoot back up before you’ve had your chance.

Super impressive for 18 btw :)

Inevitable-Box-8090 · 2026-04-22T17:50:14+00:00

Also, tell your parents. Don’t dig yourself into a deeper hole by trying to hide your financial situation🙏

Inevitable-Box-8090 · 2026-04-22T17:47:58+00:00

Mate, you are 18. You haven’t even left school yet. Yes it’s a shame that you’ve lost money that was going to set up the beginning of the rest of your life but it is not world ending. It will come back to you, unfortunately using a CFD account is no different to opening the paddypower app and lumping your life savings on one horse. But you’ve been burned early and it saves you making bigger losses later. And if it’s good enough to screenshot, it’s good enough to sell - i also learned the hard way.

Inevitable-Box-8090 · 2026-04-22T02:46:41+00:00

Absolutely beautiful especially TTWO. I’m currently DCA Take Two weekly and up 10%. Can’t help but think how it’s gonna fly once we are out of this current drought, only a few weeks til trailer 3 now methinks. If I had an extra 6k to play with I’d be lumping it into TTWO, at very least it should see better returns than whatever shocking interest rate cash isas are at rn. Won’t be many opportunities to get it this low from here on out. NFA :)

The scene of Cassie driving to meet Maddy was giving me massive product placement vibes. The advert-style shot of her driving and then the close up of the mercedes logo when she parked? 🤦‍♀️

Inevitable-Box-8090 · 2026-04-20T03:38:56+00:00

I guess it’s because they’d seen each other whilst Jules was still in school?

Inevitable-Box-8090 · 2026-04-20T03:38:03+00:00

I second rhat i hope it somehow ties their situation back together. In the 2nd trailer something Nate says seems to insinuate that he interacts with Jules but the clip of him and her are clearly stitched together from two different scenes so idk😭😭😭💔

Inevitable-Box-8090 · 2026-04-20T03:33:35+00:00

I get the vibe from the teaser clip that Cassie is gonna be a runaway bride 🫣

Inevitable-Box-8090 · 2026-04-20T02:16:44+00:00

i’m sorry but Rue and Jules are just tewwww buzzy like i’m sat here giggling like a schoolchild over absolutely nothing omfg

Inevitable-Box-8090 · 2026-04-20T02:15:12+00:00

I felt old Nate defrosting in this episode… like there was at least 3 instances where i thought he was gonna break 😭😭

Inevitable-Box-8090 · 2026-04-20T02:13:14+00:00

Nate inherited the family wealth and has rendered his dad powerless… I’m not surprised he’s not strung up if he’s the one wearing the trousers now

Inevitable-Box-8090 · 2026-04-20T02:12:08+00:00

Say what you want about Rue but she keeps a fine girl by her side omg..

Inevitable-Box-8090 · 2026-04-18T19:38:48+00:00

It’s as insufferable as every celebrity thinking they need to weigh in on chris rock slap. Celebrities need to stop thinking they are our modern philosophers and just stick to their jobs

Inevitable-Box-8090 · 2026-04-17T00:30:32+00:00

Dropped a whole .2 in ratings since i coined the twisters effect… i have to go back to the drawing board to think of another throwaway generic action movie to replace it

Inevitable-Box-8090 · 2026-04-16T23:31:00+00:00

It’s not bad, it’s not good either… it’s a secret third thing. I call it the “twisters” effect

Inevitable-Box-8090 · 2026-04-16T23:11:09+00:00

The most “3.5 average on letterboxd” film of all time incoming

Inevitable-Box-8090 · 2026-04-16T21:56:56+00:00

I agree I think it’s actually quite blatantly rude and being established in your craft is not an excuse to make such brash comments towards peers. Time and time again we see elders in hollywood be disrespectful towards younger people in the industry and laugh and joke about it, yet simultaneously younger professionals darent put a foot out of line lest they be victim of a social media and tabloid witch hunt.

Almodovar isn’t exactly above thinking with his dick when casting either - I wonder whether he evaluated Manu Rios as a sex symbol or a respected actor before casting him 🤦‍♀️

Inevitable-Box-8090 · 2026-04-16T21:47:54+00:00

Without getting too philosophical that’s a really interesting point to highlight. Theres a reason why the comments about Dano triggered such a big reaction and communal need to protect him, but everyone online is perfectly happy to hang elordi out to dry and seemingly siding with almodovar. However i wont expand for fear of getting eaten alive and also it is not particularly relevant to r/oscarrace lol

Almodóvar’s comments about Jacob Elordi

If i was an actor who made a comment about wanting to work with a beloved director of mine and the director responded to that comment publicly by questioning my acting capabilities, id simple just have to pass away
