NAP means best pick. Something that has a degree of confidence or certainty about it. You would have gauged that from reading what I wrote.

Its used a lot in racing and gambling predictions.

At least you guys have learned something new. Everydays a school day they do say.

Perhaps your lesson for the day should be how to use capitalisation correctly then, i.e. if you're referring to a standard noun then use 'naps' (or 'Naps for investing' if starting a sentence or title) but the styling of 'NAPs' implies an abbreviation or acronym.

So you have nothing to contribute to the thread? Maybe if you followed racing or betting you would see that it is often used in capitals. That's not your fault but its ignorant to start talking crap if you don't know what it even means. Its also a term used a lot in stocks forums. 

Now just because you didn't understand the term doesn't mean you should start telling people how to write. Even if it wasn't in capitals you clearly wouldn't have understood. Type it into Google and you will see half the things relating to it are as NAP.

So if you have nothing to add probably best clearing of and trolling another thread.

You said: "At least you guys have learned something new. Everydays a school day they do say. "

Correcting your poor grammar is not trolling. Perhaps you should practice what you preach, and learn from others?

There's nothing wrong with using it as NAP.

Go and search "nap of the day" into Google and tell me if you see numerous posts with NAP. If so feel free to drop me an apology. There's nothing wrong with NAP. If you don't understand it that's on you. Not me.

Responding to someone who questions your use of a term by telling them to clear off and stop trolling is just plain rude.

And telling someone that their grammar is wrong because you don't know what the term means is wrong. Especially when NAP is correct. 

Responding to a thread by not answering the question asked or sticking to the topic is also rude. If you have nothing to contribute to the thread then there really isn't a need to comment. 

Even more so if you don't understand what you're responding to.

If you really want to indulge yourself in 'NAP' lurk on the speculative thread on here, but invest at your own risk

It is commonly used it gambling but is often used on stock forums. As probably a lot of stock investors (gamblers) follow betting too.

I am gambler - not professional but around £100 a day.  Been doing it for years and profitable.   A Banker is a horse that is expected to easily win.    They often don't but its around 50%.   The NAP is effectively an individual's bet of the day.  Yet NAPs from reliable sources probably only win around 1/3rd of the time and someone's NAP could be awful as you are reliant on the skill of the tipster.     I have never heard the term NAP in relation to investing.  

However, the biggest and most sensible tip in respect of investing is not to follow tips you read on the internet.

Investing is not gambling. Looking for tips usually means you don't have the knowledge and understanding to invest on the basis of tips.   Stock picking forums are full of people losing money and those trying to ramp up the share price so they can make a gain at others expense.  The ones that are very good on a consistent long term basis are rare to come by and they will rarely provide you tips unless they want to you use you to increase the share price so they can get out at profit.

Maybe you'd get the conversation going again if you asked those on the board to recommend their watchlist WAPs for 2021. Obvious or obscure are all good.

Clearly people disagree on the spelling of the term. The convention seems to be 'nap':

I don't understand why you are quite proud to teach others something, then when they disagree, you have a tantrum and become abusive.

It is normal for threats to meander around. Quite how that is rude is beyond me.

My guess is that the UK will be quite a good bet, but best avoid the large caps. The UK has been somewhat undervalued due to Brexit concerns, and Trump's mate Coroni (covid 19) doesn't help. The US might be a good bet, but it's high risk IMO. The EU doesn't seem to be doing brilliantly, although wider European funds are worth holding.

The corona virus has wreaked havoc with hospitality, leisure and travel, but other areas have not suffered much if at all. Inline skate and skateboard makers would have been a good bet prior to covid 19! Shops were sold out, wheels were near impossible to come by. I guess airlines and tourist firms might be a good buy while they are cheap, assuming they don't go bust.

They don't tend to lock threads just because you don't like the replies although there have been some useful ones if you read them. Starting out investing using tips sounds like a way to lose money though
