Should I do it??

@stevehill1mil How much do you have in there relative to your overall portfolio?

I’m really reconsidering my Space ETF position. I’m down almost £200. Truthfully, I don’t know enough about this ETF but still went into it. It’s not performing well and I think I would rather the capital in my higher conviction plays like chips.

@JamieFInvests smashing it

Late 2020: A corporate share scheme is announced: a 3-year commitment at a fixed price starting Jan 2021. ​The share scheme price was on the floor, making it a complete no-brainer. Better yet, there was zero risk, just an option to buy at the end, meaning I could walk away with my cash if it fell. ​ I locked in approx £315 a month, total investment £11,376. ​Fast forward to Dec 2024. The scheme matures, I exercise the option to buy, transfer the shares straight into an ISA, and sell them for around £21,500. 📈 ​A clean £10k profit. 💰 ​ That was the exact moment the penny dropped for me. Seeing that kind of growth from a disciplined, monthly contribution changed everything. ​That £21.5k cash injection was the catalyst. The investing journey really began from there. ​ Fast forward to today: I've shifted my focus heavily toward US tech and growth stocks. ​Between a £61k ISA and £10k in unvested employer shares, the portfolio is sitting at just over £70k. ​Next stop: £100k. Let's keep compounding. 🚀

It did, solid gains across the board today!

Strong start. will it last?

I chickened out. I'll see you later $SPCX

Meta are correct.

elon could solve world hunger literally this second all he has to do is full stack dump all his shares, cause a stock market recession, wipe out trillions, delete tens of thousands of jobs, and then he'll be able to fund the federal government for about 18 minutes

@Liviman2 @thomasknox Have you been outside lately?

@thomasknox "it seems, they’re all going to foreigners" Utter bollocks.

My daughter was nearly in tears the other day. Because she can’t find a casual job. “Dad I’ll do anything. I’ll wash dishes at 6am” - & she means it. Did it last year. But there are no jobs now as, it seems, they’re all going to foreigners This makes me feel… revolutionary

@VikingInvestor9 $AMZN AWS

If you could fall to sleep and wake up tomorrow with £20k of whatever stock you choose. What would it be and why? I’ll rate everyone’s choice 1-10

@skinttorich Bath?

Morning all Nice sunny day for a change ☀️ Wishing you all a good end to your weekends, ready for market open tomorrow 🟢💷📈

I wonder what $SPCX is going to do tomorrow. 📈 or 📉 ??

@arftsuperitlg @qualtrim a ~20% CAGR is not to be sniffed at

@qualtrim 2031 is too fcuking long schmuck!

Microsoft doesn't need extraordinary assumptions. 18.5% EPS growth and a 25x multiple gets you close to a $1,000 stock by 2031. $MSFT

@fynnvestor Nice! Consistency is key.

1 month since this post- I’ve taken my portfolio from £599 to £1846. More than 3x Still a long way to go but the consistency is already paying off £2,000 mark is very close now Next big milestone: £5,000

@GBPolitcs @Telegraph Immediate deportation for non contributors

🚨NEW: Reform UK states that from the date foreign nationals living in social housing are evicted, they have three months to find private accommodation or they will be deported [@Telegraph]

@MorgothsReview They profit from the engagement

As ever, the Daily Mail will flood the zone with migrant related horror stories, but the moment anyone proposes to do something about it, they'll roll out the hit-pieces and squeal about extremism.

@PositivFuturist Every single net non-contributor the government lets in is theft from the British people.

The state is completely out of control.

@hewantswealth I lived in a Barrat new build until recently (for 5 years) No issues and low maintenance costs. I even managed to sell at a slight profit! (not accounting for inflation of course)

I’ve NEVER heard someone say good things about their new build property 🏡

@hewantswealth Over the same period the S&P would have returned you more money and have the advantage of being more liquid - nevermind maintenance costs. "Investing" in property nowadays is even more dumb. Buy a house to live in, but don't expect to make any money!

Notting Hill Townhouse, then and now. Property is a great investment 🏡

@XCompoundQuiet That's a lot of growth in 5 years!

At 25, I thought $100k invested would change my life. At 30, I crossed $1M. Now my target is $1.5M invested by age 35. I'm a Canadian dad with 2 young kids, a mortgage, and a full-time corporate job. I'm documenting the journey publicly. Let's see where it goes.

@VikingInvestor9 Per Grok: For a £220,000 lump-sum investment in the S&P 500 (total return, dividends reinvested) at the start of January 1995, it would have grown to approximately £4.8 million to £5.5 million+ by the end of 2025 (in GBP terms), depending on exact entry/exit dates and FX rates.

And if you buy this now it is not a great investment
