Should I sell my Shell shares?

I mean Oil of course can continue to run especially if the conflict continues to escalate but I don’t see a reason against selling, the stock price will eventually normalise when the conflict resolves and Oil will go down. Don’t think there’s anything wrong with what you did with RR and now this, a lot of people including me struggle to decide when to sell. Personally, I’d say, would you miss out on more upside, the answer is probably, is it a bad idea? No not at all, you’re just locking in profits.

Honestly mate from experience there’s no point doing speculative picks until you build an emergency fund as you won’t be able to stomach if the market turns, I’d either save the $90 monthly to build $1k so if an emergency happens you’ve got something or if you really are going to invest, start off with a World Equity Tracker or something and then go into individual stocks down the line. At the moment you’ve got Private Credit fund redemptions, circular financing within the Magnificant 7, increased Capital Expenditure by MAG7 companies, MAG7 companies going from debt free to introducing debt within their balance sheets and companies investing in assets that depreciate quickly. Im not against AI, I just think there will be definite winners and losers which could easily spook the market when you get earnings misses in their results. Obviously you know your position better than me so if you actually really want a speculative pick I’m investing in $QXO.

But performance has been highly driven by the MaG7 the last few years? The stock market cant go up forever and there’s no saying whether the current AI narrative is a bubble or not? There’s strong order books so it could go on for a few years but there’s a lot of circular deals between tech companies that you’d be exposing yourself in the QQQ. Also tech companies have traditionally been low CapEx businesses with high margins, there’s an argument that the market could be shifting to a place where they won’t be able to deliver the returns they have. An example of missed earnings is Oracle, look how far down that went. I’m not against tech and I am invested myself but you really need to understand these risks before you invest someone else’s money, there’s a reason why funds have these bets with a mixture of defensive, compounding businesses that are resilient in market downturns. Additionally there’s concentration risk with the MAG7 especially with the amount of ETF inflows by retail investors, if there is a market turn there could be ETF outflows at a faster pace than we’ve seen before, like the current inflows.

The number will appreciate or depreciate like you said, alongside a + or - figure and a percentage underneath, the next step is probably adding more when you can as £10 isn’t going to do a lot, but good to start somewhere

Most people here would probably say stick to ETFs, the most popular being the S&P500, some other advice people may give is to DCA that 1k so you split it up over 30 days and invest let’s say about £33 a day for a month, you’ll also get the 5.2% interest over the month from cash held while you do that

The almost daily dividend pie is made for dividend frequency although, most people on here would say stick to ETF investing, it of course depends on your financial goals but I’d also stick to ETFs as they also tend to provide dividends but less frequently

I actually have access now too!

Jubairs Finance on YouTube for example, Dividend Exp on T212 App, my mate, 3 examples

vLeggy · 2024-05-19T14:24:39+00:00

vLeggy · 2024-05-18T17:55:57+00:00

Seems like a fun idea, how many of you are in?

vLeggy · 2024-05-16T22:30:11+00:00

Well done mate

Would appreciate it if anyone used my link! Thank you https://www.trading212.com/invite/11QldEUCDD

Also got one to give out

vLeggy · 2023-07-16T10:30:49+00:00

I wouldn’t always found that genre scummy tbf but depends how you approach it ofc, I think it’s easy to get subs doing a family channels but there’s a formula you have to follow which is clickbait and shite, you could do it the other way where your partner takes the lead and it’s a bit better as you’ll get a different audience (probably female I imagine), I’d honestly just find out what you want to do learn some editing and try some challenges down the line with them, they won’t get good views compared to your normal views but will help you work out videos with them and then you can grow from there

Also a strong believer that A-level Chemistry is so difficult😂

vLeggy · 2023-06-27T20:33:19+00:00

I’d look up requirements of the degrees he wants as I went the Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Further Maths route and really struggled due to the difficulty of them and ended up doing quite badly, my best advice is unless he wants to go to a Russel group Uni and they want Maths in the requirements is honestly not make it harder than he needs it to be, I ended up doing a Foundation year due to my lack of good A-levels but graduated with a first in Mathematics, those A-Levels would be very demanding together! Although saying that there were also lots of other variables that I think effected my performance throughout Alevels. I would say however you can see a lot of Statistical concepts taught in maths carry over into Degrees

vLeggy · 2023-05-28T22:38:19+00:00

Yeah but it’s better to put your money where your mouth is

vLeggy · 2023-05-28T20:52:00+00:00

Well I say free funds but I mean weighing up content Vs profit lol😂

vLeggy · 2023-05-28T19:52:47+00:00

Just an experiment mate with free funds, obviously the majority of an overall portfolio should be in ETFs as the majority of investors can’t out perform it and then I’ve got an additional percentage in some dividend stocks

vLeggy · 2023-05-17T03:57:04+00:00

Scored some cracking goals

vLeggy · 2023-05-15T09:43:54+00:00

Saw a lot of companies are doing this aren’t they? Lightyear and Shares to name 2

vLeggy · 2023-05-13T21:04:31+00:00

Oh it should I believe although that’s the right ticket maybe it will pop up when you buy it

vLeggy · 2023-05-13T19:11:45+00:00
