If you could put £100 into one speculative stock right now

Greggs has shot up this week. A nice 15% gain for me.

Alibaba (BABA) is a great call but hardly hardly speculative - Market Cap of $460BN, Singles Day last week took $38BN in a day. They are indeed similar to Amazon as being the biggest ecommerce platform in their main markets, and driving amazing tech and business innovation. Tencent and Baidu would be a couple of others I’d look at too.

Better to diversify. Try EMQQ Emerging Markets and Ecommerce UCITS ETF (EMQQ - USD & EMQP - GBP) on LSE. Includes Alibaba, Ten Cents and loads more. One of the best performing EM funds last year.

I think the rule was no ETFs

Outside of Freetrade. Auryn Resources. Gold exploration with 3 potentially world class prospects (2 Peru and one in Canada) getting drilled out in next 18months. Management and geology team with proven discoveries behind them.

Inside Freetrade: Yellowcake. Uranium supply demand should create another bull run in commodity in next 3 years. Trading 30% below NAV. No mining risk

Not on Freetrade yet but I really want a slice of CloudFare (NET)

With everything going onto the cloud in the next 12/24 months, cyber security will be paramount and they seem to have timed their entry into the market perfectly.

Plus I like stocks with tickers that you know exactly what they do, and them simply having “NET” is a big plus point.

They might be the only one surviving the month at this rate :see_no_evil:

Just need to look at “zoom” compared to “zm” gone crazy because of the ticker alone :smile:

I’m sure there was a study done into having memorable tickers that stand out and they actually outperformed the market, might be making that up but I’m sure I seen it somewhere lol

3:40ish ZOOM vs ZM
