Hi everyone,

I'm interested in hearing from UK investors of all experience levels.

Whether you're investing in stocks, ETFs, funds, property, pensions, or anything else, what are the biggest challenges, frustrations, or problems you face?

• What's your single biggest investing frustration right now?
• What takes up the most time or mental energy?
• What do you wish existed that would make investing easier?

I was going to post this on reddit as a question: If the NASDAQ has made index funds forcibly buy SpaceX stock after 15 days then isn't this guarantying an artificial "pump" to the stock and couldn't I then just sell once this has happened ?

I am not an investor (clearly) but I was hoping someone would be able to explain this to me as it seems to good to be true ?

Thanks

Hi

I have been investing in an s&s Isa for around 6 weeks. Prior to this I had been happy with my cash isa's and earning a couple of hundred per month in interest.

I then moved over about 60% of my cash isa as next year I will have to use a s&s isa anyway due to the rule changes.

Must admit I got a little caught up in the Micron hype. I didn't realise people offload on a Friday etc. After the first couple of weeks I done the same thinking I would buy again on the Monday and I didn't get the chance as it skyrocketed 😂. I did do ok on Micron earning around £2000 but it would have been 7 or 8 grand if I hadn't sold for profit on the Friday.

It's been quite a turnaround for someone who didn't want to risk my savings to having nearly all invested.

Anyway prior to Fridays dip (I put a lot of cash in on Thursday) I had done a portfolio transfer for the remainder of my cash isa (minus an emergency fund).

I had intended to put this into VWRP. I expect the transfer will complete tomorrow.

I'm wondering if given the on sale prices (assuming they still are well priced when funds recieved) if I should instead put it in companies such as Micron who's fundamental haven't changed.

My main holding is Nvidia but my average is high compared to the current price. I also have SoFi and $now. With Service now I am way over the current price. I do feel Nvidia and Sofi will recover.

I realise its a crystal ball question but what would you do? Lower my average on existing companies? Buy new holdings such as Micron and Marvel or stick it in VWRP.

I do not need the cash for at least 10 years. I am down the £2000 Micron profit and an unrealised result of £3000. I already have a small amount in VWRP, RR, a semi etf which are all doing ok.

I am looking to invest £125k into WRDA EFT. Which works out to around 3600 shares.

The EFT volume is 46,539. 3600 works out as 8% of the volume (which seems wrong). Should i order in smaller amounts, or can i buy at once and not affect the price?

Forgive me if this is a stupid question. i do not invest often.

Thank you

Someone mentioned that short term bonds night be a good option. They mentioned SGOV amongst others. However, there's only a CFD 5x on the app. Can someone tell me how this relates to the bonds, please? Thanks.

but it is going to get included in a bunch of index funds on day 1.

What should be my strategy to avoid it ? I was thinking of selling ahead of the IPO and re-buying a few days after?

Crypto, SIPP, S&S ISA etc?
