See how the market reacts when nvidia release their quarterly earnings in a few hours. Could be another massive swing for tech.

Solid figures for Nvidia as expected. After-hours market doing its usual bed-wetting

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

Nvidia up about 15% since Friday from a low of 101. Picked some up at around that price, sure they’ll plummet but as things stand I timed buying some shares right for the first time since by little venture in to having a go (still down around 4% over all).

I've got a fixed term savings account ending in a fortnight.

 

I had planned to lump it in my S&S ISA, however the market is riding very high right now, so is it a bad time to put more in? It does look as though a correction is due. I'm using a vanguard lifestyle 80 by the way, and am by no means an experienced Investor.

 

Any advice would be much welcomed 🙂

It depends. If you're prepared to leave it there for a longer period then you'll ride out any perceived correction that may occur based on previous data. Note, this data is only indicative and not a definite guide to future performance.

 

You also need to balance your appetite for risk versus reward. If you do go for the s&s ISA, you may benefit from tracking passive funds rather than actively managed funds as these have historically outperformed the latter. Humans very rarely beat the market.

Could you drip feed it in (aka pound cost averaging) over say 1-2 years rather than transfer the whole lump sum? This way you avoid the risk of going all in at a market high.

Lob half in. If you are prepared to ride it over 5 years you will be in the money. Faffing about with fix term savings just mean you about beat inflation

I’ve been moving a stocks and shares isa into fixed rate cash options and the service has been so slow

 

my FA says that the funds don’t have the manpower to cope with the current pre budget demands

FA’s will be swamped with pension withdrawal requests probably! What a shit show.

Don't jump the gun on pre budget scaremongering

It’s not scaremongering this time, there’s going to be some hideous repercussions if you have any kind of wealth, big or small. 
 

There would be skids in my pants if I was sitting on a decent SIPP between 55-60 right now.

Too late to do anything about it now given the log jam of existing requests on sipps and pensions.

 

if you’re managing your own portfolio and able to so it quickly then I reckon your decision should be based on when you think you’re going to need to access your tax free lump sum. (Ie. Within the next couple years).  Fwiw, recent noises are that reeves has decided against changing the 25% limit at 269k.

It will be interesting to see what there is on pensions in the Autumn Statement - my guess would be not much. Whatever the truth turns out to be, the press have done an amazing job of panicking people, and I'm sure convinced a lot of folk to take action that's not in their interests

Oh, that's not like a particular area of the press after a change of government (that is to one they find disagreeable) at all, is it?

3 poor weeks almost fully recovered today. Crazy.

I'd argue it's the "companies will pay significantly less tax and therefore have more value" effect.

 The opposite here which is why the ftse hasn’t recovered

Not just that. The proposed new tariff regime will hit other economies (and companies based there) hard. Investors may feel they need to pull out of economies that will plummet, and the US is seen as a safer hiding hole.

Waiting for a dip in Palantir before filling my boots again….not gonna happen is it?

 

Still tempting to get in again even at $80 for the long hold

[Lako42]

EEE for a life changer opportunity.

Was going to sell some today especially as it was up 5% in pre-market but by the time I was getting round to it, it had actually dropped by 4%. Even at its current price it is scarily and massively overvalued, even on a forward PE basis. Surely it will come down significantly eventually, at which point we can pick up some more, as long term this looks like a solid choice

Probably means jack, but the only analyst covering this stock has the share price halving in 12 months

Like most analyst and broker notes it's not worth the paper it's written on. 

 

EEE has a market disrupting discovery and there are some nefarious actors interested in keeping it out.

Anyone got a tip for a stock that's dirt cheap now but is guaranteed to go for a kings ransom very soon?
