I think it's coming today...market waiting for us open I think. if the dow holds then I think we see 78+.

you've got to think retail and instis want this anything up to £1....

oh dear. blocked. and reported.

such a basic comment. the people who could afford AMs before corona will be able to afford them after.

I'm a consultant and my line of work is going nuts post covid....

just a feeling but I think there may be some pocket filling at 74 by someone and then it'll be let go. could be wrong and if DOW opens Lower than futures it may hit 72but think it's going to blow this pm

or you could have got it wrong and lost lots

Doesn't seem to have the power to break 75 yet. Maybe with US open?

Question is what DOW does I think

just don't do it with live cash. get a demo account with IG or someone and just see how you do for a year.

also learn 5-10 shares only and learn them really well, their movements. I only ever have 5 shares I'm actively trading. and I often only trade 2 at a time - if I think I'm right I bet big. some trades I just know will come off and I put 25% of my pot in. AML from 68 yesterday was an easy trade so I went in quite big (for me)

Yup

I think it depends 100% on your risk appetite, your experience and your skill. AML has actually been a relatively easy share to trade over the last month or so.

I screwed up a short I took out last night (not closed it yet so may still be ok....? Probably not). But I made £7k extra shares over the last 3 days trading in and out.

If this hits 78p, I'll sell half because it will almost certainly give me a lower entry unless something changes.

Also - I don't like holding stuff at the moment because II think we are living on a knife edge with the broader markets - I can't see that the FTSE should be trading at 6200 right now. Main st vs Wall st etc. etc.

Put it this way: my investment returns over the last 10 years have been around 5% a year. My trading returns more like 50%.

If you're good at it, it's a good idea. If you're not, don't do it! Simple.

i do both. Invest in my SIPP. Invest in ISAs. Day trade in separate accounts and spreadbet.

I find trading stressful compared to investing but I seem to do ok at it now that I've done it a while. I am still youngish and lucky enough to have a good income outside of shares so not adverse to taking on risk.

.

looking more tasty now....

not today you won't.

ftse going nuts

I use HL for a lot of stuff and I hate them. wish I could be bothered to move everything. they're useless.

where next? up or down? can see 72p but can also see retest of 80p.....what do we think?

Well done! that is excellent. always take profits where they're meaningful to you. Good luck

moving on. us markets continued to rise so my short may be looking bleak tomorrow morning.
Let's see if we can get some of the old momentum back here tomorrow. gla

WG alt account.....? no one could possibly take WG seriously?!

reported by the way. there's no place for these kind of posts on discussion site for shares. this is for grown ups.
