How’s your luck with shares these days?

It's true about Nancy Pelosi. Her shorts stink.

You may hear about "The Trump Put".. A Put is a bet going short, as opposed to a Call, which is a Long, or a bet buying the stock or more usually a multiple. You make a huge multiple if the thing rockets say 30% and you paid a tiny %.
To see how much, google "Option Ladder".
If you "know" a stock is going up, you buy a Call option to be able to sell it at some huge price in the future, for a few percent.

Same if you know it's going to drop, but that's a "Put" option.

Nosy got it wrong about the bleach. Everybody knows Trump said jump in acid with a blowlamp up your_arse.
 
The markets yesterday were fantastic. Lotsa people made billions. Today I starred geting chopped up so I sat back and sat in 3x gold and 3x gold miners. For "intraday" the leveraged ones are best, as long as you set your stops or watch them
3GLD went up 16% and 3GDX 22% on the whole day.. Obvs I shifted towards the bigger number whenI saw it, so came out about 14%.
Good enough for a day!

This is the sort of thing you can do on your phone with part attention.. Ask for details in the SM thread.
 
I played with an IG trading account years back and grew my $800 imaginary pot to something like $5k in a relatively short period of time, however if I'm being honest I think it was more good luck than anything else!

All depends when you bought it of course, and what. I used 3GDX, which is down 38% from its absolute peak a week ago. Leveraged (3x) funds are furiousl;y volatile, especially down. I fell asleep on it, literally, intending to follow it closely. I had a too-small stop loss on it but they're so scattery on the price you can't put the stopout close, they can easily take all the money from 5% below the current price because of a spike, which may not even be visible on the chart.
If I were you I'd look at selling some. "Take some out" as they say.
If someone shoots Trump or his common sense gene wakes up, shares will rocket and people will sell their gold to release funds. It will then be illiquid, so hard to sell as well. It has rallied a little bit. Sell half. now, maybe.

Good time to buy non-US sensble companies, and in the US, non mega-caps. NVDA is getting almost cheap though on P/E, MSFT. makes sense.
But the likes of TJmax, Accenture, Netflix, Spotify, Palantir, Crowdstrike.. Software more than hardware, so Salesforce etc.
The Mega caps are exposed to international tarifferade.



Yep. I have a long-term strategy which works, with intervention only once a month or week, but it's hard to avert the eyes , ever.

Also fun. I often buy a little of likely exploders in the premarket. Most drop 30% or so, but once a week or two there's one which goes 300% up.
There was JNVR yesterday, which went up 4x. I had $100. Not gonna change your life, but those are fun to watch.
Look for a catlyst like a new drug, unexpected profits, takeovers etc. You need volume, acceleration, try on a few in the simulator.

I'm very happy I didn't follow your bad advice.

Seen the price of gold ?
 
I'm £750 down on ETFs
£750 up on Celsius ( drinks)

What a few weeks.
I can't really sell any and I'm not buying in this market.

Some huge swings in the market of around 20% In a day.

I know I'll be good given time but when you see what's happening and hear what's being said it's enough to keep you awake. It has me.
How can this sort of thing happen.

Watch Obama. Abc news. YouTube.
