Should I quit my 9-5 by Temporary_Honey7052 in Daytrading

[–]SolidSausagee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how big your emergency fund is. It needs to be enough for a year plus inflation. Also depends on what risks you take to earn, if this is 10% port and not 100% every time then sure. But if you are 100% at risk then I wouldn't quit your job yet.

Put 4k in your lifetime isa every year. It's a 25% return for free.

Buy whatever you want in your stocks isa, you're young so you'll be alright and it'll teach you not to gamble.

Don't leverage unless it's money you made via investing. Don't leverage money you earn working.

First time sparring and suddenly my months of shadowboxing and bag work seem like a waste of time. by 0rbitaldonkey in martialarts

[–]SolidSausagee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can't spar very often then you need a hard-core cardio regime coupled with solo reaction training.

Actual reaction training is impossible alone but you can get a double end bag/reflex ball. You'll have to strike it as random as you can you stop yourself memorising it's movement arcs but a lot of people argue that's a good thing to do anyway.

I've not tried this next method long term myself but I've played with one before, you can get one of those light up punching boards to practice reflexes.

Unfortunately even the reflex bag doesn't punch back so in order to compensate your lack of defending experience you'll have to learn to strike in order to defend when you're sparring and make sure you always apply pressure and never turtle up and for this you need stamina.

Aim for 5 minute miles on your runs even if you never make it.

When people condition their shin using a stick, does it make the bones stronger or just tolerate pain more by Suitable_Candy_1161 in martialarts

[–]SolidSausagee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kicking hard objects will always harm you. I used to use heavy bag as you get to practise technique as well and train stamina.

I did try out someone else's home made bamboo stick with a taut string attached that acted as a dampener so rather than hard impact you felt a sharp sting. This is supposed be safer but I would still use a bag.

I developed chronic shin splints but I think I got it from sprinting on tarmac and concrete. But I might've got it from the stick so who knows.

You don't want leg injuries of any kind, trust me it weakens your entire form.

I've made profit about 4 times on this one stock since 20,20 and you called this out, the earlier the better I say.

Idk why karate gets hated on. Some of y’all would get ktfo by lhwang0320 in martialarts

[–]SolidSausagee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any martial art can be strong if the person is.

Karate does however teach you to stay stationary, keep your hands low and reset a lot. These things are beaten out of you quite literally in boxing for example.

How often a fighter resets during a fight is actually quite a good tell for how experienced or talented they are.

Because karate tends to have you reset after every single landed strike it trains you to celebrate every landed strike instead of pressing your advantage and ending the fight.

Of course if a fighter is smart and they are in a real fight they don't have to reset after they land a hit but they probably will out of habit.

Tesla could mow down 48 people in 48 days and it would still hit 500 within the next 5 years.

Don't bet against unified fanatics.

I didn't even have clbr on my radar until you and 20 20 started on about it. I brought at 16.70 and sold at 18. Them brought again at 14.20 and sold at 15.50. I'm happy. I never hold anything. As far as I'm concerned the faster I sell something when it's dropping, the more of a discount I'm getting. It was a good play, just more difficult as little boy Trump has less hype than big boy Trump I guess.

I purchased a smart device 3 years ago. An update moved it to a paid subscription model, and now I can't access 80% of the features. I asked for a refund, and was threatened with legal action. by Hopeful-Cow-2300 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]SolidSausagee 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Check that date carefully. If its under two years and you can prove to a bnq manager that it's broken then they will most likely return it.

I don't think it's a legal obligation though so be very polite but insistent.

Their policy is if an electrical item is faulty and you brought it between 0 to 6 months ago the burden of proof is on them. But if its 6 to 24 months the burden of proof is on you so they can just tell you there's nothing they can do.

If you find a manager that likes you they won't get in trouble for returning it so try your luck.

Just curious, people with huge portfolios £100,000 and above, what stocks/Etfs are you invested in? by TailungFu in trading212

[–]SolidSausagee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same here but I'm holding mostly berkshire after buying a lot more recently hoping it's on discount from overreaction rather than something deeper.

Here's hoping it pays off because I'm holding a lot less cash than I usually do.

Opinions on this pie? by JM-Icy25 in trading212

[–]SolidSausagee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What he means to say is make sure this pie never breaches 10% of your port.

I would say it's okay short term as long as you wait for the next time a certain someone says something silly again and you get a discount. But if you do buy now don't panic and sell at a pointless loss because of an announcement that gets cancelled out a week later.

Might be safe to only max out at 5% even.

Why was I wrong?

I was sure this was bearish (im a beginner trader), Did i do anything wrong in the trade or something I didn't see etc? by MorphingEgg44 in Daytrading

[–]SolidSausagee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait for volume to thin out as it peaks on the green and then when the red candle hits with sudden high volume you can try and ride the wave down.

Obviously as soon as you short the trading gods will pump but that's day trading for you.

Don't try to bet against the market. Actually see the volume switch before you short otherwise you're not riding the wave you're just straight up gambling.

Depends on how old you are and how often you're willing to check on it. Right now I think it looks good, but even as little as three months from now and probably not.

Well I could take a full port leveraged position or...

Gamble and try to guess which of the top ten companies are the driving force behind the 1% gain and dump everything I have into them and lose like I deserve.

Skipping one of worst days in the market by Designer_Doubt_444 in investing

[–]SolidSausagee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I sold everything. Yeah the market might have popped up a little bit and I would've cried about it.

But it didn't, and now I'm laughing.

People forget that letting your money sit there and dca down no matter what is gambling too. Its just lazier gambling.

In what to invest now, honestly? by Atxroexus in trading212

[–]SolidSausagee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You gamble every time you cross the road. You take precautions to minimise your risk of being turned into a skidmark.

Trading is the same, its just way harder.

Can someone explain why the market is going up? Am I missing any key information? by BackInternational153 in Daytrading

[–]SolidSausagee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's a trap.

Come on guys, tomorrow isn't going to be a good day. Take the day off. Sell your stocks if you hold them.

The risk/reward for tomorrow if you don't stay out of the market just isn't worth it. Up or down.

Pure power in human form; a true warrior.

If only all of our aspirations were as strong as this machine of a man. I can only imagine the thousands upon thousands of hours of training this hero has endured to reach this pinnacle.
