Basically the UK is bankrupt. Taxes are already far too high & the root of the problem is not enough of the population putting in & far too much going out. A radical reduction in public spending, benefits, international aid, net zero etc etc is needed.
The country is heading towards a dark place IMO.
If this buffoon thinks he can tax his way to success & economic growth he’s living in a different planet.
Clueless & it will impact everyone in the country.

I know people moan about twitter....but I can confidently say there are some genuine, honest, knowledgeable, trustworthy people who are more than happy to share ideas, research & want to help others. You just need to find them. Make that your mission on here in 2021 !
@Rousey59
If we get rising unemployment, with the wealthy leaving & even less people paying tax into the system, but more claiming benefits we are in a real crisis as a country.
Mrs Traders ISA has put in +21.5% in the last year (I run it 😂). My ISA portfolio is much larger so I manage risk more & it’s put in nearly +15%. Have not checked our SIPP’s or trading accounts yet, but feels like total portfolios will drive in c+15%+ which is decent…..

stand on its own two feet…..some of this reporting is pitiful……press LIKE & RETWEET
I think a lot of investors feel compelled to find something to buy when they have cash in trading accounts.....for the biggest gains you have to learn to feel comfortable sitting on cash for extended periods waiting for the right opportunity to present itself....& then buy big...
Most highly successful stock market investors I know have made most of their profits from just a few stocks. Having the conviction to buy very aggressively when you know something is right is extremely rewarding in my experience...you don’t need huge diversification !
Everyone I speak to is at the end of their patience with lockdown. People are depressed, miss their family, need schools/gyms etc open & some kind of normal life back.
@BorisJohnson
it is time to bring this dreadful ordeal to an end. People cannot carry on living like this....
Utterly crazy. People work hard all their life, pay their taxes & save for old age & the government think it’s OK to tax them again when they die. The people running our country are only interested in getting as much from those who work hard as they can.
Here’s a wacky prediction……omicron is a lot milder than these obsessed scientists are letting on & proves to be the end of Covid……market puts a huge rally in…..
Happy 2022 🎉🍾
My advice for what it’s worth. Follow the same company’s for years - read every rns & update - you then can spot when something changes that can shift the valuation up or down....it will give you an edge...in this game you have to find your own ‘edge’
If restrictions come in over Christmas I’m having a ‘business meeting’ at my house on Christmas Day. Full agenda to follow, but will include a discussion on the quality of the Turkey & a review of the wines on offer…….DM me for an invite to the ‘meeting’ 🐓 🍷
I’ve said this before - you just need to find one great investment every year or two & take a sizeable position & then be very patient.....you don’t need to trade in & out all the time hunting a ‘bagger’....good investments are like fine wine they need time to mature
This is when everyone realises when the market sells off it sells almost everything...regardless of fundamentals...that great company you owned two weeks is not suddenly worth 15% less...it’s just the market giving you today’s price..tomorrow it will offer you a different price..
The economy is collapsing, people are losing their jobs, children are missing out on education, people are missing crucial NHS appointments because of fear & this is the main headline for 3 days. Our media are utterly useless !

today at 1640p. Prudent to bank some profit here. I’ve learnt over the years never get greedy at the top, sniffing out the extra few % - be very greedy when stocks are cheap…..
Would be nice to see more on twitter publish their investments ‘live’ & not declaring their position after the share price has gone up 🤔 Would separate the wheat from the chaff on here I think 😉
To all followers thank you for another year of kind & useful responses. To all those that add value to me on Twitter thank you.
Looks like overall across all portfolios I will turn in c16% for 2021. The hard work pays off….
Have a wonderful Christmas & best wishes for 2022
Mrs Traders ISA has put in +21.5% in the last year (I run it 😂). My ISA portfolio is much larger so I manage risk more & it’s put in nearly +15%. Have not checked our SIPP’s or trading accounts yet, but feels like total portfolios will drive in c+15%+ which is decent…..
Just noticed I seem to have passed 6000 followers. Every follower is hugely appreciated by me & hopefully I provide the odd bit of useful research, ideas or advice……thank you to the 6000 +
If you bought a stock & thought it could do 5 or 10x would you be happy to sit on it for 5 years? Why do so many buy with that much conviction, then sell because they get bored or it moves up 50% 🤔 You can do exceptionally well in this game with just a handful of ‘super stocks’
Some advice (for what it’s worth). Do your own research, make your own decisions, don’t blindly follow others, when you have conviction go in heavy..never blame others as you will make mistakes..finally follow ‘only the best’ on twitter..’hint’ their are very few worth following!
Sign of a dreadful leader. Learned nothing from the last disastrous attempt to stand in front of the nation.
Still saying nothing about millions of good people’s legitimate concerns.
He’s so far out of his depth.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer addresses the country as violent riots continue across parts of the UK.

There is nobody on twitter that are always right when stock picking....but some have vast amounts experience & do a lot of research & have a much higher success ‘strike rate’.....they are doing something right....hunt them down & learn from them
When you invest or trade full time instead of dreading Monday mornings you actually look forward to 7am.......for those contemplating going full time trust me you will never look back.....best thing I did after selling my business in 2012....I just love the freedom I now have 😉
Russia hopefully see’s a run on the banks……remember that from the 2008 financial crisis ?
Hopefully we also see the ruble collapse in value.
The best thing that can happen is the Russian people turn on Putin.
Extensive research is your ‘edge’ as an investor in equity markets. You have the luxury of investing in any company. Research more than anyone else. If you think you don’t have time...cut the excuses...get up at 4am & do 2 hours before the world wakes up ! Make the ‘edge’ count..
PI’s seem to constantly worry about daily or weekly share price movements. A share price only matters when you buy & then when you sell. In-between shareholder return matters & that you continue believe in the long term prospects of the company…….switch off the noise IMO
Think long term…if you start with £200k & double it every 5 years & compound the investment after 20 years you have £3.2m.
£200k after 5 years = £400k….another 5 years = £800k….+ 5 years = £1.6m & after 20 years = £3.2m !

Our government should declare a national state of emergency because of illegal immigration.
It has to be stopped urgently.
Every day now we are seeing impacts on society that are irreversible.
Some of the violence we are seeing daily is horrifying.
@UKLabour
The day of reckoning is coming to the UK sometime IMO
The people will work it out !
Work hard, government tax the hell out of you, they then waste it & then look to tax you more !
It’s one big Ponzi scheme !
Noticed I’ve passed 4000 followers...thank you ! I plan to continue sharing research,ideas,opinions & some, but not all, live buys/sells. Apart from the occasional ST trade, I invest medium to LT so please be aware...my strategy is research,conviction, big positions & patience 😎
Never ever panic sell..the market is there to make you do that..evaluate what you have and if it doesn’t have a bright long term future sell..but don’t sell because the market has marked down your investment..you wouldn’t sell your house because the housing market was a bit weak!
PI’s think investing is about trading in/out quickly hoping to bank a small profit along way...most lose. Buying quality company’s when they’re trading below longer term intrinsic value & then hold them is key to success in my experience: Conviction, v large positions + patience!
I do not tweet new names every day,every week.I am focused on what I have.I position in size and then hold in the belief that the valuations adjust based on what I am seeing.This is not short termism.PFD,GYS,FRES are delivering substantially.I believe FXPO CAML JKX replicate
I’ve passed through 5000 followers. Thank you to everyone it’s sincerely appreciated. I hope occasionally I share useful info that helps. To mark the milestone I’ll make a sizeable donation to this charity. My young son has a severe food allergy so worthy

Starmer has managed to totally hack off the world’s richest man & the greatest visionary of our generation.
At my old school Starmer would have been called a dipstick !
Everyone wishing they had banked profits yesterday - market does not work like that - the beauty of being mainly a long term investor is market falls allow you to add more to the quality you want to hold.....’when the price is right’ ✅
Never had a real job & never contributed to the tax system other than state paid !
How do these people get into positions of power in our country !
Interesting he attended an independent boarding school. Wonder if he votes in favour of VAT on independence schools ! Hypocrite…
It was a crazy decision. How to quickly put an end to UK oil & gas exploration & production. Then Hunt decides to tax the working people more, restrict public pay rises, yet give those not working 10.1% increase ! Plot lost
@Conservatives
Exactly what we need in the UK. A leader who takes on government spend, strips out the waste & as Elon says ‘gets the government off your back’. Why should we pay more taxes so this govt can waste even more. It’s simply wrong. We are being taken advantage of IMO
If you do enough research & spend time understanding fundamentals of companies, as well as look at the short term trade opportunities you can beat the market ! You don’t need qualifications or answer to a ‘boss’ ! Be a relentless learning machine……
#CAML
£19k in dividends landed in the accounts - add to that the near doubling of the share price from average.....it’s a thing of natural beauty. Never underestimate dividends - when compounded they make a material difference over time....
In my experience there are hundreds of ways to build more wealth.....it’s also my experience that people focus on accumulating more 💰 for no purpose. Money buys freedom..but you need to use that freedom to ‘live’ a life. Money can buy almost everything except more time !
Here it is then. The reason tax hikes are coming is
@UKLabour
are spending way more than the Tories said they would on the state. That’s what Labour do…..for goodness sake scrape this £22bn net zero nonsense, overseas aid & stop illigal immigration.
My view..for what it’s worth..don’t miss the bus. The one thing I did v well in the 08/09 crash was to buy over sold recovery plays heavily near the bottom. You won’t buy the bottom..scale in. This is not a time to ‘dip your toe in’ - you need to be buying extremely aggressively.
Most households monthly spending lower than its ever been..no eating out,no buying clothes,not buying material things,not taking the children to clubs,not spending on holidays,not buying Costa’s etc etc..anyone in full time work will have a lot of cash to spend when this is over!
Starmer is losing the great British people. It will get worse until he addresses the concerns we have. That off mass immigration, knife crime, the boats, extreme violence….
His address this week was appalling only blaming the far right.
When you buy a stock if you have strong long term conviction, if the share price goes down, you see it as an ‘opportunity’ to buy even more ...build that level of conviction about the company & the price you are paying...then be patient & keep focused on the long term..it works !
If you’re a short term investor then be that. Put in stops, be highly disciplined & glue to screens. If you’re a medium/long term investor be that & ignore intra day/week/mth SP moves & focus on the long term. Plenty want to be long term & then panic on short term price action 🤯
Never ceases to amaze me how so many PI’s buy stocks only to sell them days later at a loss because of a slight SP fall or reading something negative on a board or twitter. Shows total lack of research, conviction & patience....the three key ingredients of success 🤔
My portfolio is bubbling along doing nothing......I’ve learnt over the years you stick with your convictions & they come good........never swing between company’s because of FOMO.
Quiet times are all part of the game, especially in mid to LT investing....
I’ve built a larger cash
Let’s just tax people more…..that’ll fix it !
It’s the economic’s of people who do not know what they are doing. Whenever has increasing the tax burden led to investment & growth !

He needs to recall parliament not go on holiday.

Imagine what would happen if you said the UK now has a wealth tax ! Do you think a flock of high net worth’s would quickly move to the UK. Do you think it would bring in lots of investment into UK PLC ! These people are utterly mad.
A 2% tax for wealth above £10m would raise £24bn a year - an incredible sum of money, with which we could build a fairer, more sustainable country.
Tax the rich.

If you own stock in a company that you totally believe in, then you relish watching the share price go down so you can buy a lot more……
Imagine you wanted a Bang & Olufsen TV & suddenly it was put on sale at 50% off….you should want the TV even more now !!!
After 8 weeks off it’s back to school pick up again. One of the best things about investing & not working is the freedom. You can’t buy freedom & time ! Beautiful day….
One of the great investors. A genuinely top guy who has shared his research & knowledge with so many. Although we will all miss him, he thoroughly deserves a break with his wonderful family. Personally I’m lucky to have got to know him as a very good friend. He will be back...
As per comments at start of New Year, last proper week on twitter for me. Fintwit has some tremendous people and my thanks to everyone for all the contact, banter over the years.I’ll pop my head in now and then and I’ll ensure if there is a return..it begins with a five bagger 😉

This is not a time to panic sell IMO. I’m looking at opportunities to add to existing positions personally. 2021 brexit will be done (one way or another), COVID vaccine kicks in & UK market will look exceptionally cheap......

lowest it hit was 5p when FIL selling….I bought 650k shares at 10-21p & sold too early at 96p. My total spend on 650k shares was c£95k. If I was still holding current value would be £1.8m.
A highly connected, experienced & proven CEO/Chairman is worth backing ! Find them !
We are seeing a typical post recession commodities bull market with a weakening USD putting wind behind it. Miners/oilers have cut costs dramatically in the downturn & so now with rising prices they print cash....ride the wave until you think it’s peaked IMO
Bear markets is when you make big gains. Nobody picks the bottom but things become v oversold & allows you to buy big positions that do exceptionally well over time.
If you buy a stock at £1, it falls a further 20% to 80p,you won't give a hoot when it trades at £2 in 18-24 months
Incredible how many savvy retail investors went 100% invested in the market a couple of weeks ago & coming out telling us now.
Hard to believe how well the average private investor gets the timing right so often 🤥
Nat Gas futures continue to collapse. The winners here will be the energy companies with the public still paying extortionate prices. Why are the media not all over this !

@baroninvestment
& his family. Plenty of things to talk about including living life to the max & of course stocks ! For all that follow him he’s doing very well & sends his regards……..
A lot of these company’s trading 10% + cheaper than what they were a few weeks ago have seen no difference in fundamentals.
Market sentiment rules short term, future earnings power rules long term……
Just because a share price goes down does not make it a bad business over the medium or long term. You have to understand what you are invested in & don’t listen to social media noise……..
Nothing better to do than stick his head to the road……why not volunteer to work in a hospital, do some work for a charity, rescue an animal or at least do something useful. These people are clueless if they think this behaviour will make us all rush out to insulate our homes !

Ed how long do you think the British public will keep listening to you blaming the previous government ?
Your mad policies of net zero will increase energy prices, put more strain on the public finances & destroy our Oil & Gas industry & jobs.
Don’t treat us as stupid !
I recently read a book about savvy investors who made a fortune investing in the railroad explosion in late 1800’s & early 1900’s. If you look ahead we are entering a period of huge energy transition & electrification & our job as investors is to work out how we get on the train
Issue with NHS is the back office is full of hangers on, under performers not managed for years & waste everywhere. Also a procurement function that is ineffective. Front line is consequently under paid & under resourced….needs to be managed like a business with BOD & Chairman
