I spent 2020-2023 chasing hype stocks as this was my first few years in the game and just listening to the wrong people. I always loved warren buffett though so i adopted his ideology of finding value. i proper implemented this in 2024 as you can see my total return from 2020-2024 was -1% so clearly the hype stocks weren’t doing great for me. after implementing Warren Buffetts Value ideology, i have smashed the last 2 years and then some.

Some stocks i have picked out at some lows from what i remember

Footlocker
Google
Alibaba
NuSkin
Paypal
MMM

had a few more but this is what i remember.

Current position is 100% PYPL.

Is there anything you would change about this kinda new to trading have . This pie is just for fun I have other funds in for long term .

Thanks to referral freebie, added this to my pie and today has been a good day!

I'm 35+ and genuinely at the very beginning of my investing journey — I've only just taken the first steps. I opened a Trading 212 Stocks & Shares ISA, and the two screenshots below show how I plan to build my portfolio.

A bit of context before you look:

- I'm about to add a lump sum, most of it into ETFs, with a smaller portion into single stocks.

- Of the single stocks, the ones I plan to hold long term are Amazon, Microsoft and Meta.

- The rest I'll reassess as I go — I'm still learning how to properly analyse companies, read financials, etc.

- I'd rather get feedback now, at the start, than discover mistakes in a few years.

So: what would you change, cut, or add? Anything obviously wrong with the allocation, too much overlap between the ETFs, too concentrated in US tech, missing diversification — all honest opinions welcome.

Also happy to take recommendations on books, YouTube channels or resources that helped you learn to analyse companies.

Thanks a lot!

I have a long term pie that I invest in regularly. I had a sizeable (for me) ASTS investment that I got out at the ATH and have reinvested. SLS is will be short term. I’ll either sell some/all read out and ride the rest to Buyout depending on the results.

Ignore current percentages I’m currently rebalancing with new money rather than selling. Rationals are:

VWRP 55% - core compounder. Gives me exposure but little risk to a lot of companies and industries.
WSML 10% - as above but with smaller riskier companies.
ASTS 7% - having lived and worked in remote areas, this could be a game changer. Possibly a little high % at the moment.
CRWD 6% - cybersecurity already is big and will only grow with AI and more home automation.
TSMC 6% - computer chips are the backbone of life. I don’t need to worry who wins if I back the company that makes the chips in regards to AI
LLY 5%- Big pharma. Nuff said 😂
ENSI 5% - same as TSMC but European. Also build chips for ASTS and JLR
RR 5% - nuclear SMR, Aero engines, nuclear submarines. Chronically undervalued still
GEMF 1% - moonshot but cheap. Working in anti aging.

I’m 18m and started investing a few months ago, I’m aiming to add between 100-200 pound a month and don’t know what’s the best way to invest it. I was originally do some swing trading and made over 200 pound but the stress of checking everyday and trying to time every trade was annoying me and I don’t need it atm as I’m just starting a new job. Any tips to help my portfolio grow would be appreciated.

Hey guys. Before people make assumptions in the comments please bare in mind that this portfolio has changed a lot over time. The first screenshot of ETF’s is my core portfolio, where I put £1062 every month consisting of this current split:

35% into SP 500
23% into FTSE all world
24% into Nasdaq 100
12% into I shares Physical Gold
6% into EIMI emerging markets (I have not done this yet I am waiting to be paid)

My justification behind this core portfolio is that although it is currently US and tech Heavy, I am aiming for long term growth over the years and thought this was the best options. I also used Gold as a safe hedge bet as from my research it has no counter party risk, it’s a scarce supply that could give insurance in big stock sell offs.

On the other hand in another screenshot is a load of other stocks which I dedicated only currently £700 to as a satellite portfolio for growth around physical and digital consequences of more tech intensive world. I am investing into infrastructure here as the world requires more digital and electric / automatic things. This requires more grids, copper, cybersecurity and automation, whereas I believe in healthcare innovation too through Lilly. I tried also to make this not deliberately dependant on AI, where if AI succeeds or doesn’t succeed like a bubble pops, this satellite portfolio will still be in demand.

Any thoughts?

Hi all, I’m 22M, employed, and fairly new to investing. I’m looking for some advice on what else I could invest in to diversify my portfolio. I’ve attached a screenshot of my current investments.

I currently invest £300 per month and have relatively low expenses, so I could increase my monthly contributions if it makes sense. I’d like to invest consistently and make sure my money is spread across different investments for the long term.

I’d really appreciate any advice on what I could consider adding, or if there’s anything I’m currently doing wrong. I’m still learning, so any guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!.

19 and still learning about investing on here, any tips would be great/ things to learn about

Hi, im 21 and getting into investing with an inheritance, currently not investing anything additional in monthly until im in a more stable state, with the occasional top up, how are mu holdings?

In my Stocks ISA, I'm all in on VWRP (FTSE All-World Index) but considering my age, people online have said to take on more calculated risk while I'm young. Some have also just stuck to VUAG (S&P 500) but I'm not sure if the USA will always be on top for the next 30-40 years I'll be investing for.

Given my living situation, I'm able to invest £1k a month and set & forget it. I'm just wondering if this is the best stock to invest into and should I invest into only this fund? Anything more I should be doing?

Going to start depositing 10% of my monthly contributions into this pie and the other 90% into only VWRP.

I’m aware VWRP covers this but I wanted to pick some individual stocks to chase some higher returns.

What do people think? Is this alright?

Been investing in an s&s isa, keeping this for around 25 years +. Im 23 years old so i cant afford investing too much right now but I’ve started investing £25 a week so £100 a month. What do you think?
