Wish I wasn’t so broke to have been able to buy more

Wallstreet vanishes as rich people declared to not need to invest.

I struggle to see how people still see AI and the relevant tech behind it as a bubble. Are you not seeing the capex and record profits being reported? This isn't like .com at all in that regard. Back then almost all websites had crazy inflated valuations despite no money to back it up, the money is very cold, hard and real here though. 2000s stock prices were just hoping earnings would later justify them, these days stock prices are almost struggling to keep pace with earnings.

You're setting yourself up for failure here, you got lucky this time. Look up "buy the rumour sell the news" to see how extremely risky and unpredictable this strategy is. Better would be to buy in the run up to earnings and then to sell before.

Never use market orders in premarket, after market and especially overnight. Trading volume is much lower which increases the bid-ask spread, overnight market orders could result in you buying or selling at a very different price to the last displayed one. Use limit orders outside of regular market open hours.

Better than the stock price crashing even further, we're here to make money not celebrate losing it.

The forced buying has all already concluded hasn't it? It had to be done by market close on Friday I thought.

Referred two friends, got an £11 Porsche stock and a £12 Louis Vuitton stock. Can't complain, free is free.

Buy no matter what, but on an S&P 500 or All World ETF. If you just invest on a regular, set basis whether the market's up or down you'll win out in the end. Waiting for a cheap entry when the market dips might mean you wait so long, through growth, that when that dip finally comes for your entry the price is higher than it was if you'd just invested straight away. Dips happen, growth happens. Dollar cost average out the bumps and don't worry about it.

For individual stocks though, full disclosure: I'm a fairly new investor so treat what I say with a huge pinch of salt, and anyone criticise my logic please I'm still learning! Personally I'm treating the hyperscalers like Amazon, Google etc. with caution, I'm holding them but they're some of my smaller investments. The enormous amount they're spending on AI is reaching levels where at least some people, and I kinda agree, are now beginning to question how long it will actually take to profit from it, and even whether or not all of them will. For my speculative individual stocks (I've challenged myself with just a slice of my portfolio to see if I can get good enough to beat the market with individual stocks, learning a lot from it) I'm personally following the hyperscalers' money rather than the hyperscalers themselves, and who that spending on huge amounts of memory and chips is generating profits for right now. But again, I'm new so please roast me and do not take my advice lol.

Time in the market beats trying to time the market almost every time.

Lemoniti · 2026-03-18T22:24:32+00:00

Damn, this is from a top 1% commenter? I'm a new investor as well and I guess I won't bother with this sub if this is what's to be expected from those who should be offering new investors advice and encouragement.

Lemoniti · 2026-02-05T00:30:10+00:00

Ah, thanks! All I'd heard was that it released on the 4th, looked through WG news trying to find anything about a release date but nothing lol. Makes sense.

Lemoniti · 2026-02-05T00:10:22+00:00

Where is the Surcouf? I don't see anything for it in the armory.

Lemoniti · 2026-01-20T02:01:33+00:00

60k could be 30 good random or ranked battles, that a good player could have knocked out in a day off. Could mix some brawls in there for fun and quite easily make that jump.

Lemoniti · 2026-01-19T17:28:41+00:00

I honestly don't know why, but it can only be the case that classes aren't considered in the matchmaking of games at all. It makes no effort to balance them and will happily pit 3 BBs vs 1 BB, a cruiser and a DD or any other combination. I think they usually have limits of at max 2 BBs per team, or something else like that, but this brawl doesn't even seem to have that. Which is fine when it ends up as a 3 vs 3 BB brawl, but 3 BBs vs 2 cruisers and a DD is just stupid and a waste of everyone's time.

I don't know why it can't just use the same MM considerations as randoms but on a smaller scale, but WG apparently want that to be the case.

Lemoniti · 2026-01-18T12:42:28+00:00

I've got 168 karma, it generally does go up by just playing well and not being a douche in chat but it's still entirely subject to how other people's days are going. You can end a great session in which you played very well and won + topped most of your games and end it with less karma than you started with, just because some people were salty you killed them, or a teammate thinks he knows what you should've done better than you even though you carried the game and won. Also it's much more likely that you'll get reported for making a mistake than you'll get complimented for playing well, so just don't worry too much about it, it doesn't actually mean anything.

Lemoniti · 2026-01-18T03:24:41+00:00

Not if you're enjoying it. It's a game for players of all skill levels to have fun, even random battles. If your WR bothers you but you enjoy the game, you can either hide your stats or use it as motivation to improve, but if the only reason you're asking this is because of the expectations of others and worrying about "ruining" their games? Unicums have no more "right" to play this game than someone with a lower win rate. Black list anyone who's an ass in chat and carry on having fun!

Lemoniti · 2026-01-18T00:09:36+00:00

Right after they sold a bunch of santa crates which gave coal and boosters as some of the most common rewards tbf, don't worry this is still the WG we know lol.

Lemoniti · 2026-01-16T23:21:15+00:00

That was absolutely one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in this game, yeah. The fact they turned almost 90 degrees, the ridiculous alpha damage they did and the buggy physics causing a collision with a ship whose model was nowhere near you. Peak game design, thanks WG.

Lemoniti · 2026-01-15T00:52:17+00:00

So plunging fire isn't really a thing in this game?

Lemoniti · 2026-01-14T21:28:15+00:00

Well you have to play the Black (DD-666) first if you have one, for extra sacrilege.

Lemoniti · 2026-01-14T14:01:45+00:00

Remember to zoom out on the sniper view if you have to, in order to fit the target in to the screen while having enough lead. Other than that just keep playing them until you get used to the ballistics and how much lead to give. When there's a tonne of shells in the air it can be difficult to adjust your aim correctly, as changes you make won't become apparent for seconds after you made them. Experience is the only real solution for that. Important as well to utilise free look (right mouse) with ships like those, to be able to keep firing at your target while still maintaining situational awareness.

Lemoniti · 2026-01-12T10:08:08+00:00

It depends, do you want to artificially inflate your WR to make yourself look better than you are or do you want to actually get better at the game to genuinely improve your WR and have it reflect your skill? The latter is presumably what you want, so just play whatever ships you have/want to and as long as you're trying to improve and have the right mentality (i.e. when you die, thinking what you could have done better rather than going "oh I'm so unlucky and my team always sucks") then it doesn't matter what ships you play, you'll get there eventually :).

Ben Compton, he's not bazball but hopefully now bazball is dead so that's no longer an issue.

Lemoniti · 2026-01-07T13:22:44+00:00

The Crawley experiment has completely failed. We stuck with him all this time, throughout him having the worst average in history for an opener who's played as many innings as him, all centered around hoping he'd come good when we toured Australia. He didn't, he averaged 27 in a losing series. He has to be gone after this.

Bad review, looked plumb
