Ah yes, the famous Elon musk doge pump and dump.

This wouldn’t be a conversation if shorts had covered, alas, prime brokers who exposed themselves will now drag the world markets with them.

I do agree tho, markets will sort themselves out, indeed.

But for now, I can be safely assured that Cnbc give no fecks about retail.

So I hodl. Omg, I bought a stock, such drama!

Haha. Sold out of silver now took a nice profit and paid for renovations on a house. Most of the increase has come through property holding so its all tied up though.

At this level, pay should be linked to performance for bonuses. Those who underperform shouldn’t be receiving any and have their pay frozen and if they meet expected targets and growth then bonus should be paid. However, there is an expectation (from CEOs) that they receive a bonus regardless of performance.

For someone who works in the public sector, theres never a bonus, no pay for over time, little to no pay increase for a decade due to austerity and now pay freeze for the next 5 years.

Found this pretty insightful. Not sure if it’s something you can sign up to receive.

Bit of positivity - I’m finally in the green :joy::raised_hands:

Started investing properly beginning of Jan, but by February I had lost over £1,000 and since then it’s struggled to recover.

The last couple of weeks has brought me back up on an even keel. Let’s see how long this lasts.

Am I on the moon yet? :joy::joy:

Seriously… AMC and Tesla… don’t f**k it up

Why the heck do FT put hundreds of new threads out that are not on the app? :man_facepalming: I wasted time yesterday looking for them and again wasted time this morning and they still are not there. It is such a terrible way of doing things as many will see the new thread and then search the stock on the app.

At the very least put a copy paste message on each thread like “Coming soon to FT is …” then the usual info followed by also saying you will pin/post a message/list when the new additions are on the app. This would be a 2 second click/paste but improve forum experience.

If you need to clog the forums for a day every so often at least try and make the experience user friendly by explaining when the threads are relevant. :+1:

Its very strange. A new stocks today thread is all that is needed, then you could scroll through in seconds and make a note of what interested you.

I totally understand the need for a thread to link to the stock on the app so it is a necessary evil of having the new threads but it is the poor way it is done. :+1: If you need to do it before the app launch then add a copy paste as I mentioned before which takes 2 seconds and follow up with a list when released.

The annoying thing is that it is GREAT that they are adding loads of new stocks but they instantly go and ruin the good news by not actually being on the app yet :joy: :man_facepalming:

I am sure many do what I do and read the thread then search on the app for history etc but it isn’t there so can’t press to watch. I know it is a 1st world problem :joy: but such an easy thing to make clear and user friendly.

Bloomberg all complaining about liquidity and an incoming crash.

They are also quoting Dr burry lol.

Buckle up. We gonna get hyper inflation imo. Central bankers can’t stop won’t stop print shop.

The 10Y is at 1.45% so that seems quite a contrarian view.

movements will be parabolic

I’m not dismissing your opinion, I’m just saying lots of people must disagree if they are buying T-notes at 1.45. If sustained inflation was widely anticipated the yield curve would not be flattening like this.
