Should I do it??

Just to be clear.. The UK is choosing to forgo the AI revolution so that it can instead solve 1% of global emissions via economic degrowth and the adoption of intermittent renewable energy sources with no means of buffering or storage.

@GMFinX Nice, you reminded me about this app! (last filled out in 2023) This includes my S&S ISAs, SIPP, BTC and some physical gold - basically all my "financial" net worth.

@investwitheryk1 You're on the right path mate, keep going 📈

Little story Immigrated to England when I was 9 with my mum, barely making ends while renting. Started working at 16, made a lot of bad life decisions, gotten into bad crowds and drugs. 2 years ago gotten sober and last year November decided to change and start investing

@GMFinX 2 🙂

@NottsInvestor How olds your little one?

Following on from my Net Worth post, here is an app that you can use to track yours. The graph looks amazing 😍 I didn’t input everything in between, so the angle of the graph isn’t correct. But the start and end point are. What’s your Net Worth? Link to the app: getworthit.com

@GMFinX I was able to put a lot away (especially into the pension) in 2023 and 2024. My expenses started to go up a lot after I became a dad 😅

This is a cool app to see overall change in your portfolio over time: getworthit.com

@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
