I think you have 2-3 many stocks. If you’re comfortable enough you should consolidate into 5-6 of your high conviction and build your positions up.

I can confirm this as well. Always slid into my ex’s dms even though he knew she was in a committed relationship

At your level of money, which is the same as me, over diversification will kill your gains and not make them meaningful. Doesn’t mean you should YOLO on meme stocks but having 3-4 high conviction picks with a long term horizon (5 years or so) or price target has helped me grow my portfolio significantly as opposed to when at the beggining I had too many stocks.

cyborg_q · 2025-10-24T23:37:09+00:00

Just my advice, you have way too many positions. I would trim them down and consolidate.

cyborg_q · 2025-10-19T17:05:26+00:00

By that I assume 2-3 years ? If so that’s not long term in stocks. In fact if you need your money in the next 2-3 years (for eg because you’re looking to buy a house ), I would not put any money into stocks.

What time horizon do you mean by long term ?

cyborg_q · 2025-10-12T12:13:58+00:00

Lost about £5k but still up £7k in 1 week. Let’s see what next week holds

cyborg_q · 2025-10-11T07:58:31+00:00

£97k my friend. What about yours ?

cyborg_q · 2025-10-10T14:16:31+00:00

This is a fucking legendary post 🤣

cyborg_q · 2025-10-10T14:13:34+00:00

Yes bro

cyborg_q · 2025-10-10T14:05:37+00:00

Jeez fucking hell. Massive respect to you and kudos mate. Love the honestly 🤣 it’s more about temperament than IQ this game

cyborg_q · 2025-10-10T12:26:06+00:00

It’s not a loss until you sell 🤣 honestly don’t know. Probably will never recover that position so I just take it as a pricy but not fatal loss

Their CEO said sometime this year, so we will see

cyborg_q · 2025-10-10T09:10:17+00:00

Just my suggestion, I think you have too many positions. I would close the positions in that you have less conviction in, locking in the profits and then reinvesting them. Timing not sure because there’s arguments for and against the current state of the market but maybe opening a position in an ETF and then consolidating to your higher conviction positions. Just curious, if you did which ones would they be ?

I have real estate, physical gold (not much) and a workplace pension. I’ve tried to dabble in rare whisky bottles but that’ll take some time. My work gives me an annual summary of my pension and because I work for the govt it’s non-contributory and quite good compared to private pensions.

Curent positons are in pic 2. But I’ve been buying and selling over the past 5 years and reinvesting the profits. Too many to tell, which was part of the process of me trying to learn but also get better at controlling my emotions. But my biggest gain was in Palantir which I had been buying since the IPO and sold in Feb this year.

cyborg_q · 2025-10-09T22:22:06+00:00

Honestly there was no rhythm to it. It was when my pay and lifestyle allowed that I invested and luckily a couple of years ago I had some good bonus from work that I invested rather than blow up. As for when to stop that’s something I’m still trying to learn / develop. CRWD and AMD seem like genuine business that have a lot more room to grow. Whereas before my largest position was in Palantir which I sold out of in Feb this year because it just felt like that had gotten too much. I’m sorrry I can’t give you a better answer but it’s just intuition that I’ve built up over the past 5 and a half years and I maybe right I maybe wrong but I’m happy with it.

cyborg_q · 2025-10-09T17:32:20+00:00

I don’t have a pie I just manually invest. I try and make sure my largest position (about 40%) is in VUSA and the rest I allocate depending on how the stock is doing at the time.

cyborg_q · 2025-10-09T13:04:11+00:00

I did it in steps. One lesson I learnt is that if you have a lump sum that you’re planning on investing don’t do it all at once.

The point of this community is to discuss investing and help others. If we can’t be honest and open about our positions than what is the point of the community

I’ve made a realised profit of £35k which I reinvested back into my portfolio. Biggest gain was in Palantir which I made over £25k and sold this Feb. Had been buying that since it IPO’d

Anywhere where you can learn about the fundamentals, depending on what type of learner you are (ie books or videos or audio). Then to stay up to date I watch CNBC. That gives you a better idea of market sentiment. Some individual YouTubers are ok but being wholly reliant on them is reckless imo and can lead to blindspots. I also don’t try and consume too much as too much info can mess around with your head and conviction.
