I don’t blame the parents at all for doing this if the opportunity is there. Currently 31 children (yes 1 more than legally allowed) in my other half’s class, 4 of which should be in schools for special needs or behavioural issues. Those 4 are literally ruining the education of the other 27...

I definitely need to find/set some parameters for confluence as right now i have nada! Started poorly today, but then improved Dabbled some more All good and then woof! Not closed it out as it’s free money…but just goes to show you can lose your shirt!

I’m still having fun and games with the fake money. Having got to about £4K up on the £50k base I’ve made a few poor choices and now back down to 51.5k. I’m not finding the candles easy to predict to be honest and a couple of long stop losses have really stung me.

I have this one, love it. https://www.johnlewis.com/herman-miller-aeron-office-chair-graphite/p3177252 No problem with the mesh, would imagine you have to be very heavy for that to be a problem.

Only just caught up on this thread, sorry to hear about your accident…sounds ruddy painful. Wishing you a speedy recovery, but make sure you take it easy and don’t rush it and put yourself at risk of more harm.

Have had visitors for the weekend so not had time to read and digest all the helpful information that’s been posted in the past few days. Thanks for all the insights. I’ve had a play with the shorting today (still using T212 app for now). Marginally up on the day but also some valuable lessons...

Thanks for the guidance @Justin Passing , I appreciate the time you’ve taken to write it out. I think that you highlight the concern that I (and probably others) have is that when you start out it is your real savings and if you lose that bit (before you’ve cleared a decent profit to the trade...

I defined what I meant by budget, which was not just price :)

A driver can need to do an emergency stop or take evasive action even on the shortest of journeys. Personally I wasn't suggesting that everyone needs to buy the most expensive tyres. Just that premium/branded tyres will perform better than budget ones and they justify a higher price. Agree...

Try looking at it a different way. Same driver, same car. Extreme weather conditions or emergency braking/steering. That car with premium tyres (which will likely cost more) will react/perform better in the same situation than the car would with budget (cheaper/non branded/remoulded) tyres. The...

I'll get my misses to take you out for a drive in our one... iI keep threatening to take her to the santa pod drag strip the way she drives it :D 4 x Michelin Pilot Sport 4s were £800 our Model 3.

My T212 account flashed up with this particular trade yesterday. I don't see how anyone could spot that this was going to jump 100% in a 15 min window and then a further +100% in another 20 min window. Surely it could have just as easily dropped back 100% at 15:40 as gone up again? Sorry if...

Thanks for the write up. I’ll try the T212 platforms and see how it goes. I use II for my SIPP and separately I’ve used Halifax Sharedealing account (Share ISA)…I think both of those are slow (and expensive) for doing trades…especially the Halifax account. I definitely need to do some...

Which platforms are you guys using with low dealing commission? (Or are you training high enough volumes that the brokerage becomes insignificant?)

Just an additional garage/outbuilding this time for my toys and tools :)

Interesting. I’m just about to lay another driveway. When you chippings/dust, do you mean something like this @noseall...

Was supposed to be at the NEC myself today, but I’m laid up in bed after an operation to remove a kidney stone this week :( Glad you enjoyed the show.

Get well soon

Nothing to do with the thread, but very happy to see you back Tony. I was worried about you.

I'd not really thought about a single post to be honest... I'm sure that's perfectly safe/secure but it doesn't look it :D Need to do some research I guess.
