I've got Spreadex, but I've only ever used it for sports.

Do they quote individual stocks?

Keep meaning to drop in for an update, so the ARM takeover will be completed by September and my SIPP account will be funded with the cash equivalent of £17 a share. I decided to sell half my holding last month, on the basis that the takeover might not happen, and that if that was the case it would give me the opportunity to buy in for a lower price. As things stand, I expect the takeover to proceed smoothly with no hitches.

Whilst ARM is a notable investment success for me, I am at pains to stress that I do not consider myself a good stock picker. Some of the profits I have made down the years have as much been down to luck rather than judgement. At present I have a strategy of putting 80% of my funds for SIPPs/ISA's into the hands of capable fund managers. Stocks I currently hold are Just Eat, Dixons, NCC Group, Purplebricks and Metro Bank.

Two funds I bought post Brexit are Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust and Fundsmith, both of which have increased over 10% since the fateful day so I am happy with that. More importantly both these funds have a record of providing solid returns over the longer term and are well respected in the financial world. I also like investing in technology shares and have parked some cash with the Allianz Technology Trust.

Before I go here's a few investment ideas for a Tikay style fund Smiley.

Lafarge Holcim - Concrete Solutions company - Listed in Paris and Zurich
Bombadier - Train Manufacturer - Listed in Toronto
Kier Group - Property and Construction - London
Hornby  PLC Smiley -  Model Railways -  AIM - London

Ok I got bored after 4 companies, perhaps it's the subject material Wink.  







I thnk Metro Bank could be a  nice long term hold.  I don't know a great deal about shares but as a challenger bank they are pretty decent in the Mortgage market.  They are changing lots of things slowly and they are positive changes so far.  If they become bolder and relax some of their rules they could be a big player in the market soon and that is likely to give them more exposure. 



Looks like a complete bag of bollocks to me.  A loss making bank at a huge premium to net assets.  Talks about a powerful AMAZE culture in the half year results.  Sounds impressive?  Nope, not to me either.

Shares and investments aren't really my game I have a few small investments just for fun and Metro was one that interested me before I played a few quid when I suggested on here they could be a reasonable long term hold just based on my own opinion and on what I seen as a reasonable challenger. 

It seems to have ticked along nicely since then, I am not going to claim this as a win just yet but I am bullish about the future.

If you compare the performance of Metro Bank versus its peers (ie other UK banks) since flotation it has easily outperformed. I believe it is now turning a profit, and I personally am sitting on a 78% profit in just over 1 year. I think it's time to sell up with this stock and watch from the sidelines.

With regards to shorting individual stocks you can do this via CFDs  or Spread Betting index companies.

Interesting to see Cryptocurrency has also come up on the radar. I am doing lots of research into these at present but think in general the whole space is overheating and due a huge correction. Some crypto's have shown a return of several hundred percent this year alone, that is not sustainable. The classic fear and greed scenario is panning out I suspect.

Turns out Nirvana is the greatest investor on Blonde.  Down a big today, but still not crashed and burned.

Crypto and Metrobank turned out to be a bag of bollocks after all.

If only the above were true for me; my recent experience is summarised as "some of the others didn't do so well"  too.

Never thought rate my shares would get above the crypto thread again, that says a lot about Bitcoin. It's been a pretty brutal few months on the markets, but still would rather be in stocks losing 20% over a short period of time than in something like ETH and nursing 90% losses with no sign of a recovery.

I was about 15% up on the year until it all went tits up in the latter part of last year. Now I’m scared to even look at it until the dust settles  Shocked

Wondering what price to jump in and buy Rolls-Royce shares. Current price is a touch over 2.49. I think if this drops to 2.00 i might have a dabble.
