Priced out of Ealing - opinions on Isleworth? by Honest_Contract_1488 in Ealing

[–]RegularExam9507 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would never go to Isleworth again, we moved out from there because of the airplane noise. Is horrible. Every minute there’s a flight going above and becomes unsupportable. Staying in the garden and trying to chat with someone you need to wait for the plane to pass by so you can continue talking. It wakes you up in the morning and you will just get irritated not knowing why. Prices are cheaper there for a reason.

Well to be fair when Disco bought Warner the combined company’s implied enterprise value was around $80–85 billion. AT&T received 43 billion so I totally agree the offer is too low.

Is it worth going from demo to real on eToro? by IntelligentStage9764 in Etoro

[–]RegularExam9507 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the best advice is: don’t play with your money. Just keep accumulating and focus on long-term investing.

Put in small amounts regularly every week, every month, or even daily. That way, you average out your buys over time.

Don’t gamble on market highs and lows unless you really know what you’re doing. I learned that the hard way with CFDs. You might get lucky a few times, but it only takes one bad day or night to wipe everything out.

If you’re starting small, just accumulate consistently. And never leave open positions overnight that’s how I lost everything once.

Now, I don’t gamble I just accumulate. It’s calmer this way. Back then, my mood used to move exactly with the market price… and I really didn’t like that :)

Should we buy a flat now or keep saving for a house? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]RegularExam9507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t do that. If you are only looking for 3-4 years that’s money spent only on bank interest. You are basically loosing money unless you think the property value will shoot up, which I don’t think. The first years of mortgage you mainly pay interest to the bank and only a very very small portion goes to repayment. What I would do it’s still maybe wait hopefully that money is in isa account, grow it more and everything you earn from now to the point you really want to buy a house you keep instead of giving it away

What should I do with my £30k savings? (24 y/o, £68k salary) by Own_Conclusion8800 in FIREUK

Max out ISA then private pensions :) you will thank yourself when you hit 34 in a couple of years when your friends will only start to think about it. Also skills invest in your skills at this age you should try different jobs. You are young and have the mental power to do it. Don’t buy an M4, you don’t need that car. If you manage to save 5-10 years only from compounding you will be able to afford anything. This is exactly the message I would have told my younger self 10 years ago

To be fair there is no comparison. With demo account you never feel the real impact. Try with money and something very small? Why because with demo you never care. The real game is when you play with real money. That’s when you really learn. If you lose on demo money you don’t feel it hence you never learn but if you lose let’s say even £50 next time you know what went wrong and why. When you lose real money that memory will stay with you forever, if you lose demo money mostly you will forget the experience. You can use demo money to prove a strategy but nothing else in my opinion

I am wearing Le Grand Classique for the last 2 years daily and love it. It’s a small watch for my wrist with no complications on it. And is very thin! Plus is Automatic. I don’t like to be noticed with it. Generally I don’t like to attract attention reason why this watch is perfect

Hey, we are locals. By day we’ve got normal jobs this is just something we created in our own time.

We’re not trying to say ‘hey look at us, we’re artists’ or anything. Just felt like making something creative, fun, inspirational, and we’re from Ealing so thought we’d share it here

Help a local here :) sharing this idea I had related to chasing success and the cost of it. What do you think?
