  • I have a 'fun' portfolio but it only accounts for 1% of my pot. Current holdings are:
    Vestas Wind
    ASML 
    Keywords Studios
    Vaneck Investments Gaming Esports ETF
    WisdomTree Cloud Computing ETF

    I work on the principle of asymmetric returns. Limited downside and potentially huge upside.
    The fascists of the future will call themselves anti-fascists.

    Does anyone up for a punt from market sell-off last week and possibly resell it again when they are back to long time high ??
    These are all high quality stocks with the much upside potentiall reaching the pre sell-off,  all time high in realtively short term is likely. Arguably COVID-19 proof stock, less effected by COVID-19 news. Mind you do it with your own risk.

    DiggerUK comes up with another sure fire winner, how embarrassing for you all.

    Any business involved with the letting of retail shops and office space are now worth a "speculative punt" This special offer will be gone by midday, checkout some of the quoted players in that field already

    I recently moved my SIPP to interactive investor and have some free trades sitting unused which I'll use for a few very small speculative punts. No more than £100 a month which is 4% of my ongoing contribution. I don't want a sprawling portfolio full of dozens of these companies so will maybe do this for a year by which point my punts should be a little less than 1% of the full portfolio. I don't have any delusions about making lots of money, it's just for a bit of fun. Thought it will be interesting to see how my punts do compared to the 99% that will remain in global equity tracker funds.

    Anyway first up will be Arrowhead after a recommendation on here.

    I invested into that this morning for the first time. When it dips I will be doubling down!

    Premiums still a bit too high for my liking, but the price is volatile, the 1 week change is not stable at present, possible bubble

    What do you mean with this. ?SMT has dropped. If you notice the candlestick on daily chart there are still two gaps below the current price. So there is a high chance it will drop further
