If it makes you feel any better, despite my probably larger than average holding, I look forward to the rises for your benefit rather than my own ha ha!

Had my largest holding in Dignity plc, pulled out yesterday to fund Aston. Dignity up 40% today. Happy Thurs!

Undoubtedly, SUV and British brand - can't lose over the pond!

Top Gear's The Stig released a book "ASTON MARTIN: Made in Britain"

Unsure if old or new news but FYI

Up 40% on average of 48p

Just moved all over to my Aston, can't take the losses any more apologies - GL LTH

212 barely holds any precious metals... but in a few months they will no doubt. I use interactive investor for my Cad mining/silver

Well, welcome to Robinhood/212 momentum territory! Chart looking great and will most likely pick up the rally w/wo news now :)

Tried to research uncrossing trades but just getting jargon - could you explain like I'm 5 yrs old? Many thanks in advance

Ah, yeah it's great however try and avoid peak times, not only for my own sanity, but it gets absolutely rammed with tourists. Apart from that it's a gorgeous place to visit. If you do come this way DM me and I'll give you some pointers for the area - lived here most of my life and lots to see/do!

What you doing down my way 33? I live in Torquay!

I checked it out and personally decided against. I believe cinema is a dying trade especially due to COVID, local lockdowns, streaming services,AMC/Uni deal and super high rent on properties. IMHO think it will collapse, the only time people think cinema now is for new releases which just inst enough to survive on.

I think motormouth explains them pretty well!

Don't fret about the terrible weather - my business relies on it! Great day all, good job.

I wouldn't bother wasting time proving to anonymous people online. 5 in 5 is my motto; if you won't think about it in 5 years time don't bother wasting 5 minutes on it now!

Ah, my 1k days are long gone now and you were totally right (been trading a while just never joined discussions - I feel they give you a false sense of confidence and would rather thoughts be my own) however hearing people slander F1 made me angrily bash out an account on here.

As mentioned, living with someone and watching them take a 20k trade up to 480k then back down to -10k before pulling out has paid its dividends! Despite doing well outside of the markets (hit 1m NW before 26) £10 is still £10 to me and stingy as ever... but guess that's why I retain it and not splash on dumb material goods or the more risky trades without sufficient reasoning.

Regardless, you're right and wish you all the best also. What does WGLM stand for too?

Haha! Fully aware don't worry! Do you regret getting into it yourself?

My father trades for a living and has done since I can remember, precious metals foremost. I used to sit and watch his ADVFN board go green and red as a child and cheer every time it was green... Of course he's done extremely well but still can pinpoint the days where I was told "don't disturb dad today he's very upset". It's a horrible game I know but for a side game it's fun and, to date, very profitable for me.

I personally would never dissuade those looking to have a punt myself however those with pensions are a different kettle of fish. In response to your claim of gambling, to me roulette is gambling and the markets don't fall into that personally. Yes you can lose it all, yes you can become addicted to it but you must appreciate it's a lot different to just "sticking it all on black".

For me personally it's not just about the profits either. I own quite a large business and the knowledge I've gained from researching specific investments alone is invaluable.

If profits were guaranteed no one would go to work tomorrow so of course you can come off badly but for our demographic (excluding 212 and RH trading at your fingertips) I think anyone who even shows a vague interest in the markets should be entitled to a punt as takes at least a good level intelligence rather than shoving it on a horse. Not to mention without them we would probably be worse off!

Roxy mentioned yesterday to go to the top losers of today and check out the threads, so I did. Expected to get a few laughs out of the arguing and blaming but all that was there from a -49% company that day was a couple of older folks saying how they had lost their pension.

Why you would stick your whole pension in a company with a $18 share price I have no clue... Came away quite sad for them.
