stock market crash

[scooterscot]

Here's the post where you lied about Pearson.

(or if not there, then you lying now when you say you bought on the 2/10).

You also posted at a later date that you had not bought Person yet.

No-one can realistically believe any trade you said you've made.

Why not just admit you were caught out, and start being a bit more honest with yourself - you obviously got emotionally attached to Pearson due to the p!ss-taking you were getting here, and it prematurely made you act.

There's no lie there - it is the truth, I've not bought it yet. 0.5% of my 5% allocation for it is traded. The other 4.5% is a work in progress - no rush. When I'm closer to 5% I can label it 'bought' if that makes you all warm and happy.

The paranoia is reaching fever pitch.

Who was fretting? All I can find was this from NLUK (hardly fretting) and a couple of others noting HL was struggling.

You're as bad as Trump for trustability. I think we need to have a daily Scoots #FactCheck

There's a cluster of folk on here ranting the other day with downed platforms when the market was pumping. It screams 'I've not got a strategy' and I'm just gambling with the savings. Totally nuts. But that's how retail investors like to dance, as if their heels were on fire.

Man you are such a ******* moron. So many, in fact, it crash HL.. So everyone else is an idiot expect you. You know what they say about that?

There is a change of the likes not seen in our generation that is going to affect the market like nothing ever seen... and you are pissing in the wind about strategy? Honestly. STFU and FO

The insecure nature of trying to spin the lie(s), you have issues.

Except, there wasn't. Do you not realise your mind just makes stuff up to try help an opposing opinion you have? Seriously, you should seek professional help. And I don't mean being scammed out of another $20K by a TA "guru".

Welcome to ScootyWorld, where a purchase is not a purchase until your ego allows it.

Welcome to ScootyWorld, where a purchase is not a purchase.

If I gave you a £100k to invest, would you throw it in on one price in a single executed trade without averaging into a position?

I'd run a mile from such a strategy. You scary.

If you haven’t noticed, there are rather a few things going on:

Brexit
Covid 1st wave
More Brexit agreement talks
Covid 2nd wave(or is it)
US elections
Vaccine announcement

.. some would suggest lots more to come

These are unusual times. You say people are gambling, but I say they are looking forward, heads up and playing the field.

You can’t ignore what’s happening with covid. Investing in stocks/markets that have profited from covid is a no brainier. To say ignore these is like saying ignore gold or currencies as hedges.

Lack of strategy? No. Having a strategy to invest in a, then swap to b, when c happens is a strategy.

Look, I’m actually honest about my investments. I’m over 3% down today on my entire portfolio.

Then I zoom out, and realise that I’m still up on the month and massively up on the year.

FTSE/DOW recovering, but nothing has changed. All those people using technology, home shopping, home entertainment more won’t all suddenly all go back to their old ways.

This is my strategy..

Tech Distrupters
China and Japan Growth
AI
Clean Energy
Electric Vehicles

Nothing else has changed as far as I see since yesterday and Vaccine announcement.
