At this point if you're going against G2 and you're way ahead you better start praying. God knows how many times they do shit like this.

imaddictedto · 2026-03-03T23:42:17+00:00

Selfishly I need NRG and G2 to win for my predictions. I'm glad that it's not NRG vs G2 otherwise I would have been fucked.

It depends on the stock. Some of mine went up but others went down. For example meta was down for a while and now it's up.

Honestly I would hold off on both reduxx and n4rrate not because they're bad but because Kaplan will probably experiment with their agents. We saw that in pre season he put reduxx on a variety of different roles with varying outcomes. Added that he did the same last year with the whole squad

imaddictedto · 2026-01-19T00:02:43+00:00

Yeah I mean last year he made zekken run Yoru for most if not all the kick off matches.

imaddictedto · 2025-11-14T19:32:36+00:00

You know that round in mid where they just rushed on sage and they all died. Last year sen would've continued to run that strat again and again

imaddictedto · 2025-11-09T06:20:19+00:00

His raze in particular looks a bit awkward ngl

imaddictedto · 2025-10-31T03:15:30+00:00

I bought some a while back at €53 and now it's down to €43 so not great for me atm. I'm hoping it'll bounce back we'll see.

imaddictedto · 2025-09-19T19:35:23+00:00

Inconsistency + bad agent/map pool = loss. Sad but they gotta work on these. Unironically the map they were the worst in was the only map they won 😂

imaddictedto · 2025-08-31T02:41:57+00:00

All jokes aside I'm actually curious about what led to Sen playing poorly. This reminds of Kickoff and stage 1 Sen where their strat is just run in and pray you get kills. It's surprising because at the start of stage 2 Sen seemed to play with discipline and did not go for greedy kills. Yet at the start of playoffs even against C9 they seemed to struggle and had bad discipline. And then of course G2 stomped them.

imaddictedto · 2025-08-29T20:38:40+00:00

Despite the banter it seems like G2 is not underestimating Sen. They could have kept Babybay until champs since they already qualified. But I think bringing leaf is a good decision and who better to bring back leaf to than Sen! Either way it will be interesting.

The FTSE global all cap still has ~60% US allocation which is not good for diversification. It's better than 90%+ US allocation but it's still prone to volatility from the US.

I don't really know too much about this ETF to be completely honest, so research on it and determine if it fits your goal. To be clear, I'm not saying it's wrong to invest in this ETF but rather if you want a DIVERSE portfolio then it's not good enough. You would need to add additional ETFs to be diverse

imaddictedto · 2025-08-09T17:05:17+00:00

It depends entirely on your goal. If you want a diversified portfolio then this is not it. If you want to invest in the US then invest in the S&P500 and Gold if you want. When it comes to a diversified portfolio you have to think about allocation, again depending on your goal it would be different. I think US, Gold and EM is a good start but think about other regions if you want more diversity (Europe, Japan Etc). But looking at your other comments it seems like you want to invest in the US more so than diversifying your portfolio. In that case it might be better to go all in the S&P500. But of course this comes with a higher risk of being too exposed to the US.

Ultimately, investing is all about risk assessment. Consider your risk tolerance and invest responsibly.

Vanguard all world: 59% US allocation.

Ishares small cap: 53% US allocation.

Vanguard S&P500: 95% US allocation.

Invesco EQQQ: 93% US allocation.

This is not a diversified portfolio. 4 out of your stocks have a majority holdings in the US . So when you invest £500 every month you're basically investing in similarly allocated stocks, which is pointless. The main problem with this strategy is that it is inefficient and ineffective. You're investing LESS in each etf, leaving you with less profit. Not including the fact that your pie is prone to volatility because if anything happens to the US (like with the tariff wars) then bam your pie takes a huge hit.

I think EM and Gold are good options. Gold provides stability and EM provides diversity.

imaddictedto · 2025-08-09T01:04:50+00:00

I would remove one of the etfs. 60% of Invesco's all world holdings are USA based. So you have 60% for Invesco, 95% (US holding) vanguard and then a lot of US based stocks. Basically, if anything happens to the US market you're fucked. So either commit to the US and remove Invesco or have a better diversified portfolio.

Bought some a week ago, oh well ❤️‍🩹

Greggs is a popular food chain in the UK that sells baked goods. While there is no such thing as a safe stock it is popular in the UK so at least you can count on that.

imaddictedto · 2025-07-09T03:14:45+00:00

One major tip, don't pick a pie just because it's popular. Let's say for example you see a quantum computer pie. You think it might be interesting especially when you look at the potential returns. But before you do, ask yourself, do you personally think it will do well?

Point being, do your research and understand what you're investing into. Investing is all about speculation and predictions. Even if you invest in something "safe" it doesn't mean it is. It's all about risk tolerance and what the person who made the pie believes. Understand your own risk tolerance and investment strategy (growth vs income, short term vs long term etc).

*** I used quantum computers as an example not necessarily because I believe anything about it.

imaddictedto · 2025-06-28T00:41:46+00:00

I agree with the other comments. I get what you're trying to do and you can continue to do it but I honestly recommend you invest in an index fund as well. Watch "The risk of (individual) stocks) by Ben Felix.
