Diversification is important within a share portfolio and throw in some gold and bonds etc

What happened to a diversified portfolio!?

The big question would you take up the RI if and when announced?

impairments in connection with the scaling back of the London business hit hard. One off cost so looks goodish short term and v. good medium longterm

Not looking good ...down today

Thank you for insight. I thought maybe SL were manipulated as some share dealing services guarantee SL orders which seem odd.
Share dealing is dangerous i agree but makes life interesting and exciting at the same time.
One thing i am struggling with is the after close share share dealing post 4.30. Theer are huge deals going down millions of pounds. eg Barclays

Today
sell 16:53 102.7343p 427,033 £438.71k
sell 16:36 102.64p 59,774 £61.35k
sell 16:35 102.64p 11,617,853 £11.925M

Each day most after volume deals after close. Doing my head in.

Down to day trading or investing(Longterm view). Day trading a question of luck at mo, volume volume volume, risk perceptions ' results gambling etc.

Thank you for both of your insight in to stop losses. Very interesting. Coming round to your views. Been caught out with SL, in that market dips to trigger them then rises. Slightly sceptical...the SL's must be visible to the "market" maybe?

Cineworld in top 5 of most shorted sell!
AML mega bucks to be made when compare SP several months (May) ago at circa 30p to then rise in three weeks to circa 80p!!
when FTSE bounced back briefly.
Question of timing and "luck" to have pulled that one off.

The approach going forward is to do mass testing by region town or city at a particular time eg sunday afternoon at 3pm everyone tested in town x. Results out in 3- 4 hours those ill stay away from society those ok go about as normal, roll this out across teh country. Gov says wants to have testing up to 6m a day.

Lockdown to avoid cases of covid 19 because the impact on NHS resources is huge when people are ill

Manufacturing added 6.3pc, boosted especially by distillers and car makers, while construction added 17.6pc, and industrial production added 5.2pc.

Can i ask what investors think about shares being aggregated SP when bought in different blocks and then come to sell at the average price of teh blocks. I don t favour it

The interesting comment is the idea of going short.. Longterm RR is a winner for sure. But can positions be improved with this idea was the question i think?

New to stocks and shares. What approach is be applied....day trading and or longer term diversified portfolio? Not sure how day trading works, maybe results chasing idea too.

Comments much welcome on how to go about this share investing.

"Aston Martin revved up after analysts at Bernstein started covering the luxury car maker, slapping it with an 'outperform' rating and saying that it is good value for money.

Brokers believe the pandemic will push people to drive more and tipped premium brands such as Aston to be in high demand for older drivers. Shares rose 6.6 per cent, or 3.65p, to 59.15p.

i think i will stay away from Stop losses. Sound good in theory but have doubts.

"Heard" stop losses are manipulated by markets to dip and trigger. For me cant watch market all day unfortunately. and don t have it to help with alerts. Maybe i need a new set up to help situ. Lost big time on a couple of stocks.

New this share trading was wondering what you more experienced investors do with regards to stop losses: do you use them; at what level do you set them if you do and are they effective in terms of if triggered do the levels set materialise?
