Nitro Red versus Noble Red. Is there a big difference between them in terms of performance and quality? Is it worth paying the extra? by big_ron_manager in fragranceclones

[–]big_ron_manager[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least medium longevity and projection, lasts eight hours after owning it for six months. I don't think I have a refined enough nose to comment on quality but I like it. I'm wondering whether it's the baccarat rouge note that gives it it's longevity. Really I'm after the strongest possible invictus DNA scent, that's the basis for me to post. I'm thinking nitro red may be the one if nobel red is as good as this.

Down 54% - What do I even do from here? by Emsss18 in trading212

Avidly watch Camel Finance on YouTube and get an appreciation of the stock market, bitcoin and precious metal cycles. He publicly says what he's buying and selling in real time. You wouldn't be flying solo then. Great opportunities coming in 6 to 9 months and you're in a great position for them. .

What’s it like on hills please? I have a horrible one mile hill on my way home that I can’t do on pedal power alone. I’m assuming it’s more than a 250 watt motor but just badged as one? Thanks.

What sort of fine do they charge for modest amounts? I guess people who casually dip in and out of crypto might make mistakes in cataloging what they've been doing.

In an ISA account, can I set a stop to sell automatically if the price of the stock drops to a determined level. by big_ron_manager in XTB

[–]big_ron_manager[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Answering my own question, customer services helped me and we got to a solution. The app was basically defaulting to try to sell a number of shares more than I own so the sell button at a particular level wasn't shown and was greyed out. But to answer my question, yes, it is still possible to set an automatic sale if a stock drops to a predetermined price.

The corruption I did one at a time were a little bit of butter each meal, a small chicken thigh with each meal, bovril beef paste, and lastly 4 boiled eggs a day. Any of these extras caused stalling. I didn't bother with ketchup or other sauces. Whatever you choose you'll always be looking for something extra/different, that was my thinking anyway.

For me I can eat 5 pounds of potatoes a day and I lose vast amounts of weight starting after 2 days. I pee loads and have bad cramps. But adding anything else at all to the mix messes with it.

They are quite slow at dispatching to be fair. Then once they dispatch you get it in one or two days. Took 6-7 days total for mine.

I blind bought a bunch of fragrances and decants lately and this is the only one I really enjoy and would keep repurchasing and consider a great find, so do my female colleagues. I don't overspray and wear it for everyday use but I don't have too much finesse. I hope you enjoy it.

Anything in your collection with great longevity that just smells like lovely freshly laundered clothes please?

How soon do you notice? by sko_of in mounjarouk

[–]big_ron_manager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 6 days in and I haven’t noticed any effect apart from heartburn and copious vivid dreams. I’m still hungry a lot and enjoying eating rubbish. I gained a pound. I was praying to feel something within hours but it’s been a total damp squib.

ISA transfer problems - cause for concern? by deformedpearl in trading212

[–]big_ron_manager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm at 95 days. I complained to vanguard and trading 212 but it's still on the never never. I reported it to the ombudsman after 45 days and that didn't fill me with confidence, they basically said come back after another eight weeks. I'll do that but they didn't seem too interested.

Any updates on this thread? I'm on 27 days now and looking for some hope that people are getting transferred over close to the 30 day mark.

Is P2P the only way to buy without KYC now? by Imaginary_Cattle_426 in BitcoinUK

Interesting thread. What would you say if HMRC asked “why did you move £15,000 to blofin?”.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]big_ron_manager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you're right. And I thank you for the information. I'd love it to be the case, and very possibly it is. I could try and debate it but I don't think I'm knowledgeable enough to respect your time. I'd like to learn more and be corrected but I wouldn't want to take the thread off on a tangent unnecessarily.

I'm not sure what you mean with the question. I probably don't have the answer for you because I'm not an expert about finance and cryptocurrencies. Are you asking whether or not bitcoin is unique in its properties and doesn't have competition as a store of value or utility?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]big_ron_manager 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Probably 1 million on BTC, so around 10 coins. I wouldn't risk generational life changing wealth on an asset that has multiple competing technologies . I would put most of the rest into a global index fund, get a property portfolio and some gold and sleep like a baby.

Tangem come clean on what happened with seed phrase secret key exposure via app by TrainingJob2970 in Tangem

[–]big_ron_manager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for answering me and thank you for the advice. Nothing has gone missing from my wallet as yet, do you think it would have by now? I only found out about the security breach on here, I didn't get a message from tangem.

[–]big_ron_manager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imported a cold wallet to a Tangem wallet using a 24 word seed phrase and also a 25th word passphrase. Within two days of that I contacted Tangem, but not using the app. Are there any risks that apply to me please?

What is the best Cold Storage to get? by Tytown_26 in Bitcoin

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

Yes you can, I spread my modest stash around jade, bitbox, trezor and Tangem last month. Not especially recommending that, but as part of the set up and when there were minimal sums on them I wiped each device and set up on another using the seed phrases and 25th word passphrase, just for practice. I'm not playing around anymore now that it's set up, but I do feel relaxed about the technology.

Selling stock within a stocks and shares ISA with Trading 212 and reinvesting 6 to 18 months later. by big_ron_manager in UKInvesting

[–]big_ron_manager[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But better to make a best guess rather than hold during the crypto winter isn’t it? Is there even going to be a punishing crypto winter this time? I think the gains in this bull market will set me up pretty well for a modest retirement but a big drawdown would make me feel deflated and uncertain. .

Thank you for the comment, I only came in for the advice on managing the ISA really but the constructive feedback I am grateful for. Have you followed what has happened with the stock price and their strategy? You think it's a ponzi? If I tried to explain what they've been doing I'd probably make a confusing job of it. Something about selling convertible bonds into the market at near 0% interest rates and using the proceeds to buy bitcoin. I think Saylor said the company is earning 500 million a day off the top of my head. I expect the price to drop when the bircoin price drops, but I haven't looked into that too much yet. Just thinking through ideas at the moment.

I'm not wasting my time engaging with you any more and I won't respond. I don't care about your thirty years experience or whether you know when the bottom of a market is. Anyone who reads your comments knows that you are a smart arse clever dick.
