Stock market dealing

My wife was given a 25% chance of surviving a heart attack which has been silently damaging heart muscle for about 3 weeks.
It actually sounds worse than that statistic allows for, now.

This was all for her, I was the one who was supposed to go first.

AI on the ECG trace it said heart attack , multiple ECGs and the doc's didn't believe it.
So, Holter monitor but no action.
Went to the doc with her to review the holter result yesterday, and he said I don't care about the holter, A & E NOW.

Look up LAD and circumflex blockage.
Heart just stopped again
Hours of ops later, she's held in a coma, with a pump in her aorta. Nothing I can do.

So, this ends.
It was all for her.

Oh goodness me.

Wishing you and your wife all the best. I hope she pulls through and has a full recovery.

Stay strong for her Justin.

Fingers crossed here too.

Yes its nice to make/save a few bob but at the end of the day there are a lot more important things in our lives. Hope things work out OK

 

[Justin Passing]

This was to keep her & me OK after I've gone. Like 25 years each at £2500 a week in a nice care place or someone to come in etc.
Even with just a little attention you beat inflation. That much doesn't stop the more important things

I can't get out except to the bins and hospitals

So if you see something like this, don't let the doc pour disdain on the AI diagnosis:

Women (and diabetics) get silent HA's more than men. She had a pain in her back but thought she'd pulled a muscle. It's been running for weeks.
She's still on life support.
Any chest pain, especially women 50+, get it checked.

Could be my final post, it may help someone.
Good luck guys.

Oh gosh, I am keeping my finger crossed for your wife

Thank you ever so much for your advice / information. I will seriously look into the things you mention.

I have a future which is going to be difficult (a very disabled SIL) and I need to grow my rather meagre savings into a decent pile to be able to create the best life poss for my Wife and sister.

I'll come back to these using an indicator to get a predictable rise at the change of hour, where some start work.
Using leverage, one share needed a "margin" of £157. Using the stops at pre-established levels, earned £10.26 in about 15 minutes. 6.5%.
Bldg soc is what, 4.5% in a year?

If you add a couple of zeroes, that's obviously, £1026 before breakfast.
The Indicator is net volume. If it's above zero, more people are buying.
The heavy yellow line is a strong level, where you get out. Price horizontal after that.
The dotted level is a minor one, the sort you have to hold through. If you try to sell and rebuy, you have two "spreads" to lose from potentially.
The levels match the previous for days. You can predict the new levels with other indicators. Sometimes. Also you can see them coming, from candle patters, and the S curves you get.

At the point the screen shot was taken, it was up by the £8:53, and the red line stop-loss was set to grab you at least £3.42 if the price went down. Realistically they're 1 minute candles, so it's not that fast, you could "close" before that happened.

The actual price is set by trading bots, and manipulated by market makers, who are crooks, but have to be right eventually.
Some platforms like free ones, will also cheat you a tiny bit. C'est la guerre.

The rich will always beat you. C'est the other guerre. But you don't have to lose. Much.

@Dereekoo
I'm using some of the green for gold " 3x gold miners"which can dump you short term, , mostly a couple like the orange and yellow. The "gold price" is the blue one. "gold spot", up about 25% in 3 months. Is that what you've been getting?

This thread is keeping my mind off things.

About a 5% chance now. Too much damage.

 

[Dereekoo]

Is that what you've been getting?

Unfortunately not. My return on shares over the past year has been about 20% which includes their gains and the dividends reinvested so at £5000 a week care fees for me and the wife we could last for about a year ( not taking into account govt pensions and company pension) before we would need to sell the house, scary thought best not tell the kids

This is really interesting, many thanks indeed. I’m going to have a serious go at this, I realise it’s a lot to learn and requires discipline.

Your posts contain a lot of detail which I know I’m not able to get the most from yet, I’m doing tutorials to help me understand properly the points you make . It hasn’t been easy this week as I’m time poor as I’m making 5 radio studio decking system in a tight deadline so doing 12hr days.

You wouldn’t think it, judging by the amount of time you spend on here.

WIfe - waiting for the dreaded call.
Please don't scrap in this thread, Mot!


Now is a good time to get an account and an idea what's going on.
Using those "orange and yellow" funds is dead easy.
Hargreaves Lansdown is the easiest to start with.. The charge looks high at 0.45% butthe others get you a different way.
For shares, Trading 212 is free, and the least bad I've found yet without fees.

Notch - the thing is to only use what's simple. Just a couple of behaviosurs will do.

Buy the dips they say. Well wait for a dip, and if it's where you expected a dip, and the volume has gone strongly positive, and you expect a decent rise which will easiy cover the spread, because thenext "level " is a good way above, then open a trade. you can use a fraction of a share on T212.
Funds like those gold ones, are slow to trade - you get tomorrow's price unless you're before 8am. If they dip suddenly youhave to wait for them to come back which is why you only buy in an uptrend.
Never sell for a loss (almost). Otherwise you just keep losing.
STOP LOSSES ARE A MIXED BLESSING/ NECESSARY EVIL.

At the open, prices fly about, so if you have one set even 10% below, it may get hit then carry on at the prior level, and you lose. Better to watch.
Gold is always open, but it still can react. The Spread can be wider than you expect at any time, especialy for something like a 3x fund. Buy / sell £1 worth and see what price you get.

Spreads: Doesn't apply to funds of the types I'm on about. (ETFs , it does).
