Vanguard appear to be wanting to cull their small investors, with a new minimum fee of £4 per month. 

They've gone hard on marketing in the UK recently so got their customers. Unsurprising really but still annoying!

Will still use it, find it a really good and easy platform

Bought some Nike shares a few weeks ago, after the new CEO came in, replacing the previous idiot who oversaw an extended decline in this once great company. Warren Buffet once said, "I try to invest in businesses that are so wonderful that any idiot can run them. Because sooner or later, one will".

I bought £10k of Tesla shares in Dec 2022 which have done very well for me. Bought in at $170 and they are currently at $430 (after dipping back down from $470 recently thanks to US banks interest rates cuts). 

 

I only wished I'd waited a bit longer to buy in as shortly after I did, Musk bought Twitter  and they dropped right down to $110. Oh well, can't complain at that return so far though, and they should keep going up for a bit more too with Trump voted back and Musk involved in US politics in order to get loads of business breaks. 

 

I used to use Stake for my holding but they switched us all over to Freetrade after Stake stopped trading in the UK last month. The new one seems fine to me so I'll stick with it for now.

Nice!

 

After numerous TSLA purchases over the last 2 or 3 years, currently sitting on a £10k profit if I sold all today, but not planning on selling.

 

The main account I use is an Interactive Brokers S&S ISA, but have also started using Trading212 S&S ISA, which seems to have a much better app, and pays decent interest on uninvested cash. Happy with both accounts.

I've gone with Strike. Registered but have to wait 24 hours to start trading. 

Never heard of them, Coinbase is the most secure imo.

 

Best way to buy the Trump coin is to download Jupiter App and you can use Apple pay to buy Solana then you swap Solana for the Trump coin, pretty easy tbf. (make sure you get the right contract though for the Trump coin)

Probably best to start with Coinbase. 

Can you maybe help me out with something please?

 

About 2 and a half years ago my teenage lad decided he wanted to buy £50 worth of crypto so I set up a Coinbase account in my name and we bought £50 worth of Ethereum I think it was.

 

He then said he needed some sort of crypto wallet/ledger/dongle thing so we bought one of those of Amazon for about £70

 

From memory, he then had to write down about 16 words as some sort of password which at the time seemed a bit OTT but I left it with him.

 

He now says he's lost this password/list and can't check how much his crypto is worth - dick head.

 

Not sure if this makes any sense but do you know is there anything we can do to retrieve it?

 

Thanks

Usually when you setup the Ledger you have to put a pin in, maybe re-install the software and connect it via usb and see if you can remember the pin as you won't need the recovery phrase this way.

 

if you have lost your recovery phrase and don't know the pin then it will be lost forever.

 

ETH has hardly moved though in 2 and half years so probably be worth the same.
