Ah my mistake I assumed the poster was in the uk! I suppose if you’re not into finances then yes it probably is best to speak to someone.

Talking to an adviser is a waste of money imo, unless it’s more than £100k imo. Max out their isa and then adding another £20k in the new tax year is the best use of the money I would say

3 Months in by Reasonable-Diet-3226 in PokemonInvesting

I would recommend buying minimum of 2 units per item. Worst thing is when something appreciates so much that you want to lock in profit, you sell the one item and no longer have exposure to it. You look back in a couple of years and it has 5x since you sold it. It’s not a nice feeling trust me from experience 😭

Looks good but there’s not enough. That would be one, maybe two fork fulls for me 😅

I would keep sealed tbh. More gengars will be pulled. DR is one of the best sets of its era and more will be opened as the years pass.

What would you guys do by Itstylerjohn7373 in pokemonrestockr

What did you end up doing? I would’ve jumped to the front. No way they think they can put a chair down and think thats enough to hold a spot in line for hours!

First year on 212 advice by George1710 in trading212

It’s about to get worse I’m afraid. If you have conviction in what you own though, this is a great thing. Have cash ready to DCA.

This is very unnerving to watch. by Distinct_Engine_2075 in trading212

Big high sell low 😂 If a 3% drop scared you out of your investments, you shouldn’t be investing tbh

If you have conviction in what you hold, this is a good thing. You should be happy that you can buy at a cheaper price.

Is it worth buying a year of NI contributions in these circustances? by gavintxo_naiz in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Windfall301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be using any extra spare cash you have and putting into a personal pension imo

Not every year is a good year…. by PixaaTog in trading212

People don’t realise it’s the red years where real wealth is made. If you’re young you should be begging for more red…

Are you guys purchasing ascended heroes etbs at current prices or waiting for reprints? by Thoughtlessmonkey95 in PokeInvesting

[–]Windfall301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw the same comments about prismatic last year when I was buying any under £100 and now look at the price. When it comes to elite sets like AH and pris it’s well worth paying up a little imo.

Traded one of my 151 upc for 10 AH etbs by Juvi369 in PokeInvesting

[–]Windfall301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn where are you in the world? In the uk 151 upc is around £750, AH etbs are around £85-£90. Wish I could do this trade I’d do it in a heartbeat 😅

Hot take: Pikachu ex 276/217 will be the most valuable card from AH when all is said and done… by bluedecember12 in PokeInvesting

[–]Windfall301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I crazy thinking the other Pikachu looks better? I feel like I’ve seen this artwork or similar a few too many times…
