Stocks and shares investing

Looks like tech stocks in USA will drive market lower. I think smart money will be on ITs specialising in them.
 

Does anybody invest much in the S&P?
I am genuinely surprised at sine if the growth over the past 10 years.
 
My shares ISA is in the U.K.
However, my Investment Trust is more diversified with probably 50% in USA.
My pension was largely invested in BlackRock US but I have taken the decision to move it somewhere safer as I approach retirement.
I expect a substantial drop in equities in Wall Street and I’m looking to invest in more stable companies over here say like builders.
That said I reckon an ISA drip fed into US stocks over the longer term will produce decent rates well ahead of the markets in general
 
BMO Commercial Property now pay £0.0035 per share every month..I’ve been paying £50pm for some years now so hoping for capital growth now
 
AMC went green and I said bye bye!

£3 profit but after a heavy loss up until now, I'm happy with any green!

I made a quick 4k on AMC this week, cashed out most and letting a small amount ride.

Crazy what's happening with the market but might as well take advantage!
 
Not sure whether to hold or cash out now. Bought at £8 can sell at £50.
 
I cashed out. Made around a 350%+ profit on both accounts that I used to invest in. In hindsight, I should have put my life savings into it. :D
 
Big profits shouldn’t be sniffed at.
I bought City of London PLC shares at £1.20 each x 2000 around thirty years ago and they rose to £8ps
i sold 1500 at £4 and the remainder at considerably more. It’s easy being wise after the event.
Had I kept them too long my profits would have been severely compromised
 
What do people read to know which stocks and shares to invest in? Sunday times?
 
No good reading stuff as those ITK have already bought.

Sometimes you have to go with a hunch, it is also good to have a wide spread across your shares. Transport, medical, leisure, property etc.

And although it might be quite obvious - those areas that look like they will prosper in 6-12 months, recently I picked up a lot of travel stocks that had crashed but are now recovering. Bit trickier to forecast in non-pandemic times.

Indeed, between May and September last year you could have played stick the tail in the donkey and easily found a massively undervalued share.

It was like being a kid in a sweet shop.

Lloyds 23 p (now 47p) NatWest 80p (now 203p) ITV 60p (now 130p), Prudential 900p (now 1400p) BP 195p (now 325p) to name just a few. Not to mention some solid dividend payers like Imperial Brands, British American Tobacco, GSK etc..

It was like having the odds all stacked in your favour, minimal risk with lots of upside.

Much trickier again now.
