KenjiOgiwara Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) Couldn't find a thread on this so I'm just making a general one. Any investors or stock market addicts here? What's your view on 2019? What's your view on Trump, Brexit, oil prices, inflation, earnings yield in general? I'm for the first time in a long time a bit on the fence. Normally I'm very positive, but right now I feel there's so much uncertainty in a market that's quite pricy.

lapal_fan Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I'm pumping 97% of my income into Angel Delight, because it's been 40 years since it was popular and it's due a comeback. In the red at the minute, but I'm absolutely sure the graph will resemble bitcoin soon enough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomav84 Posted December 12, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 12, 2018 Didnt get out of my UK equity and Asia funds quick enough (still hoping the latter will come back) and once i'm back in the green, it's all going in a fixed rate Cash ISA...markets are in turmoil at the moment and will be until at least Q3 next year in my very humble opinion so need to play safe for a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 I actually managed to sell out my entire portfolio in October before the downturn, but I bought heavy into oil stocks a week ago and did some awful trades, and got a 5% loss. Still pissed. Now I'm unsure what to do. I quite like the look of Danske Bank though. That's money on the street methinks, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could definitely be some value in pumping the remaining 3% in too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a go on a simulator first to see how you get on maybe ? That is what I am doing 1st before real money. I am 844 / 61,000 players at the moment in a "Warren Buffet Million Dollar Challenge" game at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Nah I've been investing for years. I did that thing you recommended prior to that and I quickly found out it's rather pointless. You are a totally different being with 100 k in the market if it is your own money. Just not comperable.

The Feds are getting involved and although it was sick man Deutsche Bank who cleared all that Russian laundered money, the Germans are likely to protect that. Danske could end up holding the bag. Regardless, as the dollar was involved expect multi-billion dollar settlements. Trade accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I've got a fair bit tied up in UK equities and it has been up and down over the last 12 months but the quarterly dividends keep me ticking over and I'm in it for the long run. Wish i'd sold some particular shares in Jan as those ones are about £9k down at present in my portfolio! Oh well! Its a cyclical game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I look at it, I earn my wages and that’s it. Might win the odd big bet here and there, but I’ve never been one to show ambition. I’ll own my own house, and maybe have a bit in the bank to leave kids, but that’s about it. Can’t see my retiring early, but so what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 Took a 12% gain of Danske and sold off 50% today. Also cut off 2-3 of my major holdings. Not sure how I will play 2019 atm. think maybe I will find some solid dividend here and there and play it safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
