Been investing since mid May 2026.
Has been up and down, most I’ve been up like overall 15% and currently down like a few % overall.
Plan to hold for 4 years and sell to buy a house.
What do u think.
Swing trade
Or dca in the long run? Individual stocks
Dca in etfs
What will make more money? My time horizon is 4-5 years
Anyone successfully migrated to work abroad from UK?
Like Saudi Arabs, uae etc?
How did you do it?
M27, chartered accountant, working as a tax manager for a well known large global group. 5 years total experience.
One direct report and report directly to tax director.
Base is 130k with 20k end of year bonus.
What’s your story? How did u get to 200k plus? I feel like I’ve hit a ceiling and don’t know how to push further.
What’s happened? Was expecting to go to atleast 7 or 8.
It’s at 2.8 when I bought at 6.35.
Luckily only invested what I’m willing to lose so not the end of the world (£1k). But wtf is happening
I got in at $6.30. When should I sell ?
I’m not after a get rich scheme , but a genuine question of how u find those stocks that shoot up in value after a few years of holding.
Eg rklb, asts, asml these stocks were not much few years ago and now are blowing up.
Do you swing trade with well known mature stocks or lesser known penny stocks?
I’m seeing loads of people make crazy gains.
I plan to hold long term individual stocks. How many stocks do you think is best to hold? 3? 5? 10? More?
Right now i have 10 but not sure if this is diluting my gains
I have been with wife 26F for 3 years now. It was a love marriage known her for few years prior.
Our situation: I work full time (I contract and work multiple jobs to pull in £6 figures a year - it’s not easy work but I do it.) although I work from home. So I work 9-7 but in between this I also help out with our son 1M, so I take multiple short breaks during the day whenever wife needs to for example, eat, go toilet etc and just as and when I have time, for example if it’s a nice day I take my son to the park for a hour. I work 6 days a week 9-7, and then gym 5 days a week 7-8 (I have a home gym so I save time there). After work I spend time with my son and wife until 11-11:30pm which is when I get ready and go for bed around midnight.
I have lots of friends but only go out maybe twice a year when Mrs is visiting her parents house. So never when my wife or son is at home.
I also sometimes help out with cleaning.
The problem: my wife is a stay at home mum. Very very messy and we’ve had multiple issues about this. Messy room, toilet, leaves nappies wrappers cloth tags everywhere etc. She is sometimes rude to me in front of people although this has reduced since I’ve made it clear that it’s not nice. It’s not all bad, she is a good mum (albeit maybe babies our son too much but this isn’t a problem as I am a very present father). She also is the best cook I know.
I find it hard to live with someone so messy and I’ve had to tell her multiple things that she needs to do which I thought was comment sense. For example: wake up and do the bed and open curtains (instead of leaving messy bed and closed curtains). Replace the toilet roll if u are the one that finishes it. Leave the toilet in a state that’s ok for someone else (she used to leave lots of skiddies but this reduced once I said it each time she did over a year). Tidy up son toys once he’s done playing.
Another issue is she is pregnant now again, so I do help more. For example I said she doesn’t need to clean toilet I will do it once a week instead as I don’t want her bending and touching chemicals whilst pregnant. Same with the bedroom - I will clean but I expect her to do basic things like throw nappies in bin and not leave things everywhere.
Also, before and for the first 2 years of marriage she did not pray at all despite me saying so regularly. We did umrah together recently so she started praying. But she neglects it frequently and I have to constantly remind her.
For reference, anything I ask of her I do myself, eg praying 5 times a day, doing bed and opening curtains if I’m last out of bed, leaving toilet in good state after using etc.
I find myself starting to resent her a little bit because of what I mentioned above and few other things I haven’t mentioned. So this is a bit of a rant and also if anyone else went through anything similar. I don’t speak about my problems with her to anyone else because I don’t want friends/family to think badly of her. I feel like I do so much and she does very little.
For reference we are both British born south Asians.
