It's not just the UK seems the whole world has gone fucking mental, governments and people alike.
Fuck Corona virus, the variants and bullshit contradictory rules. This shit has split the country more than anything before it seems and the MSM, Jesus Christ they've been awful, also it's been 2 years nearly if you don't know what's the best for you by now then there is no help for you.
If you can't tell, like many others I'm sick of this shit and sick of hearing about it constantly. The best I can do is just laugh at the stupidity of it all, the other day I saw a tik toc, a fucking tic toc portraying the quarantine camps in aus like some kind of great holiday destination 😂
Bring back climate change hell at this point bring on climate change, the zombie apocalypse anything but bloody Corona bollox.
Yeah, man. It's crazy how much better electronic ear protection is over basic ones. I was blown away when I got mine. Let me know what you think of that PSA shotgun. I'm intrigued.
Crypto is too speculative for me. I am not that far from retirement so I try to pick safer bets.
That makes sense. Thanks for your feedback.
Side question: How are you and your family doing? Are you feeling more 'Merican now since you've been living here for a while? lol. I hope all is well.
We've been investing in stocks for close to 25 years now.
Most of our retirement portfolio is stocked based. We aren't day traders. We have a longer term strategy which means less risk and steadier stocks
The first question you need to answer is what is your risk tolerance.
The easiest is to invest in an index fund. Madoff for example. They will pick all of the stocks for you and you buy a collection of the stocks. You can also look at the holdings a pick the ones that do well or just buy what you like.
My key ones are apple, disney, berkshire, google, amazon, shopify, docusign
I don't do bit coin.
I've been doing the index fund stuff for about 15 years now. I've been taking care of my long-term retirement type of things... but I'm just looking to have a little fun and be a little riskier for shits and giggles.
Sup fellas. Tommy I've been day trading for about 5 years now. Not full time or anything but I spend about 2 hours or so a day on it from around 9-11 and again at close. I mostly swing trade different stocks for a few weeks or so in a variety of sectors. I've used a few platforms and Fidelity is the only one I use now, and I recommend it to everyone. Do not use Robinhood. All the brokers have free trades now so go with a solid company (i.e. NOT robinhood lol). Download Active Trader Pro on your computer and use that. Don't trade from your phone.
Anyhow if you have any questions I've been a student of trading for quite a long time and can give plenty of advice/recommendations. I had a bunch of friends that recently got into trading in the last few months with the GME/AMC stuff and helped them avoid some major fuckup ideas they had in their heads lol.
Also if you want to drink from a firehose, Stocktwits is a fantastic app. It's like twitter for stocks. Just take everyone's posts with a grain of salt. You'll eventually find traders to follow who know what they're doing. Easily 90% of the people on there are morons typing out rocket ships and diamond hands and all that crap, but you can learn a ton from the other 10% because you're seeing active opinions on whats happening and what their game plan is (not youtube videos where people monday morning quarterback). It's a great place to find opportunity, but then it's your job to do your DD and understand why you are investing and when to enter/exit.
My best general rule is to always enter a stock with 1/3 of the position you want. If you want to gamble $1k on a particular stock, enter with $333. Add another 1/3 on 5% dips until you get your full position. If it doesn't dip, maybe average up along the way but never look back and say I wish I had put more in. Thats what rookie traders do because they have no discipline. They also go full in out of the gate and if it drops 10-20 percent they're left holding big bags instead of the traders who give themselves opportunities to average down with the same amount of invested capital. Always ease into a position.
I learned the hard way like every new trader does, and it took a long time before I found my style and actually started making money. I could go on for days but if you have any specific questions shoot em over.
Thank you. This is what I was hoping to find! I'll be picking your brain for sure. Right now, I don't know what I don't know.
I'm still learning, I'm by no means an expert. I've been having fun learning. I just noticed more and more of my friends getting into it, so I started picking their brains. I asked questions for about a month before I took the plunge.
I remember @Diddums talking about bitcoins and mining quite a while ago, not sure if he's still involved or not.
Do any of you guys trade bitcoins or stocks? I'm just getting into it recently. I've got 3 or 4 friends who just started to so we are all learning together. I'm not doing anything crazy, just putting a little money into bitcoins and stocks, nothing that will hurt me if I lose it all. Right now I'm using Coinbase for my bitcoin trading and tomorrow I'm planning on using Webull for stocks. I'm not 100% sold on Webull because they don't do fractional shares. Should I go with Robinhood or something else? I'll be starting the stock trade portion tomorrow.
I didn't get much for Christmas this year. I've been really blessed over the past couple of years. I didn't really want anything from anyone. But, I was able to help my son build his first PC. He saved up some money ($200) and gave it to me to put toward his PC but my wife and I just deposited it into his savings account that we have for him. I bought everything for him. We put it together on Christmas Eve and he was able to play it on Christmas. I wrote about it in my PPR here. It was such a blessing to be able to help him with it. We had a blast putting it together. That was my biggest Christmas present. Now I've got a PC gaming buddy 🙂
Camping breakfast is the best! Nothing better than a campfire going, getting a griddle going w/ some bacon, eggs, toast, etc. Drinking coffee. Oh, man.... Amen!
My favorite version of ourdoor cooking is when I go camping. I use a tripod grill over a fire and do bbq chicken. I enjoy doing steak on my grill at home. I don't have a smoker but I'd absolutely love to get one and get into it. They seem pretty pricy though. Any out there that are affordable and still decent?

The human race is fucked. We are a pathetic bunch.
