What is the best source for tracking conglomerated global hedge fund investment portfolios?
I don't even know why this post was dragged up from ages ago.
Anyway. The reason exchanges aren't open 24/7 is because it's a massive amount of hassle and expense to go 24/7 for very little benefit.
No the reason why they aren't 24/7 is because it's a regulated market and the people in charge have to be there to step in when things go wrong.
There has been plenty of days where something major has happened and they have either stopped the market completely or decided to stop specific shares from being bought or sold.
Open it up to 24/7 and then you cannot really do this. You would have folk manipulating the market when the folk policing it go to sleep or you wouldn't be able to stop them from exploding when something goes wrong.
I dumped my IAG a few days ago and it's still falling now. I should have gotten out sooner, but I'll freely admit I'm an idiot gambler who doesn't know any better.Think I'm gonna pull the plug on investing on anything other than safe bets. I'm down significantly on basically everything except fb and av.
Cine, otly, in particular.
Worst bit is I had opportunity to sell. On both.

Now back to funds...

This, i'm in the red on basically everything but not panicing and will just see how things play out over the coming weeks and months. I'll be loading up with more tbh come pay dayJust close your trading window/app and look again next week/month before doing something daft like realising the losses.
A good choice. When I first started investing I used funds, and they were great, if unexciting. A good way to grow a small investment and also learn your own attitude to risk.I'm sticking with funds myself. Mostly because I dont have enough money to buy shares in a decent amount. But I'm also in it for long term so feels better to put the money in funds and let them do the work.

Both are great in their own rights - own some of each is my recommendation. Nvidia has had a stellar run due to the share split happening soon.Nvidia just fell a few % but AMD looks the better long term play if they can ever sort their GPU out and compete on their offerings.
When was the last time AMD had a gpu which was more efficient and more powerful than Nvidia?
Thought that would happen tbh. Had a colleague asking me if they should buy the next day after the flight. THey tend to like buying the tops . It's one of those either to trade or just bag as a long term hold(imo). They face a long road ahead to turn it all into a profitable business. The news about offering a load of new stock to the market hasn't helped.SPCE taking a dump despite a successful flight

Just wanted to thank you for getting my head in gear on this. Sold $28k worth of shares, but setup an electronic fund transfer to a TransferWise account in USD. Going to then top-up my Revolut using a TransferWise card and convert to GBP. Total cost of FX will be about £20 all said and done.No, and all seriousness I didn't even think they still existed. What platform doesn't allow you to withdraw to a bank account?
You could open a dollar account with a bank, then transfer from that. Extra hassle though.
cheques still exist, most banks have apps where you can just scan the cheques, no need to leave the house.No, and all seriousness I didn't even think they still existed. What platform doesn't allow you to withdraw to a bank account?
