Usually a risk free punt. They’ll give you shares at a reduced rate, you hoy your money in, if they’re up at the end of your buy in period, normally 3/5yrs, sell them for the profit. If they’re down, get your input back.

I just view it as a little pot building up in the background.

Used to have a SIP scheme at our place. Buy one, get two free. Maximum of three/six a month. It was free money if you didn't need to cash them in for 5 years. I bought 240 over 7 years and with dividend reinvestment in more shares ended up with nearly a thousand.

I am out of everything aside from a couple of tiny Mcap gold explorers. My prediction is that infections will rise into autumn and winter and the FTSE100 will come back down again and thats the time to buy.

ECR Minerals and Wishbone Gold have done rather well since August :lol:

Market Caps Still 'only' £20 million and £16 million respectively. If they can achieve next year what Greatland Gold has this year then I willl be very happy indeed.

Shell currently going through a huge organisation restructuring getting rid of 6k staff otherwise known as restructuring and also now going big on renewable energy you may have seen the recent adverts on tv
Think There price per share went from £25 to as low as £9 recently during covid see its recovery has started up to around £13 now
They got to be one of the main companies in energy so why not do well in renewables
 
Premier Oil, Rolls Royce Holdings, Hyve have done well recently. All still way down on pre COVID and maybe some growth as things return to normal with travel and conferencining (Hyve)
 
I'm sticking to my GGP shares, bought in back in January, and kept topping up since. I believe there's still plenty more growth in them as well.

Picked up some EMH stock. Mineral exploration and development company. Involved in one of the largest lithium resources in Europe. Current market cap £64 million. Thought it worth a speculative purchase given the likely growth in EV vehicles over the next few years. Biden keen on renewable energy isnt a bad thing either.

EMH now valued at £87 million pounds so that investment chuggling along nicely.
I have also picked up some Wishbone Gold stock on anticipation of further drill results early next year. Current Mcap £22 million.

Has anyone seen them pie chart investments on 212? Seems to be the best performer's portfolios in a pie chart which you can copy then invest in the same companies with the same weighting as the original investor at whatever investment you want. What are people's thoughts of it?

I'm in the thought camp of if something seems too easy then it's probably not going to work.

Call me a cyinical old goat but that sounds like a way of making money for the original investor rather than the schmucks that pile in after.

Imagine if you will this completely unrelated scenario. Influentual person A buys some stock and posts about it on social media. Their army of followers decide to blindly buy into this stock on mass thus creating a large number of buys within a relatively short space of time thus driving the share price up. Person A will have made money and be able to claim that their decision to invest was correct.

The internet is good for unearthing hidden gems on the stock market. Some of my best investments have come from suggestions on forums, though I always spend a good few hours researching the sector, checking out the last few years worth of investor presentations and news. I strongly advise against investing into a company without doing any research into them first.

I think it's the same concept as the EToro 'Copy Investor' thing. Its alright if you take it for it is, an insight in to somebody else's portfolio. I'd be hesitant to copy for a variety of reasons personally.
 
Yeah, I had my doubts surely the best performers are that way because they have already performed. Realistically how much have growth have they got left at the current price. Plus a lot of them had Tesla shares which is going to distort your overall performance as it's something like a 3000 percent increase over 5 years.

My initial attraction was that the majority of.companies in the pie chart were consistently good.performers over 5 year and nearly all took a decent hit in march/April time and have not all recovered to that yet.

Right now a lot of people who don't really know what they're doing will have a good track record of positive profit months, but I'd be very careful because it's impossible to know what most of these people will actually know. I've seen some just have a singular trade during certain periods just to end the month positive. You also have no idea of what amount of capital they're playing with, which definitely influences people's decisions
