I avoid crypto like a plague.

This is my current watchlist. If I had a spare £35,000 minimum I don't need right now and I could afford to lose it all, I would invest £5000 in each of these companies and leave it for 5 years. £35,000 should more than double to £70,000 minimum in 5 years time.

Thanks - what platform(s) do you use for investing in stock?

wonlasewonimi:


bros, i am a novice too. When people were talking about making money on crypto and stocks, I just went on my Revolut and started buying shares from reputable companies like microsoft, apple in short, FAANG companies bit by bit. Also, the fact that I can buy stocks with as low as 5 pounds.
From there i moved to Freetrade which is a standard stocks and shares trading platform. I also started watching Sasha Yanshin on youtube who gives good insight to what he is personally doing. For example, I got to know about Lucid from him around Aug this year and bought 200 shares when it was $18, today Lucid is $51.I bought Tesla whenit was $450 and it's now $1156, i only have 4. I wishI had started years back.

As per crypto, I started on Revolut as well, and I was putting few coins in bitcoin and ethereum. Now I have moved to coinbase. I have some money in ethereum, Dogecoin and Shiba. With shiba, I could have become a millionaire if i had bit the bullet and put 2k in it around April. I only bought £60 worth which turned out to worth £1400 in Oct.

***with crypto, you should only put money you can afford to lose.


I think oga Lexus is the OG on this parole.

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

I have been setting aside funds for another buy to let. I might just consider alternative investment and see how it goes

Do you get taxed on your profits?

Hargreaves Lansdown. I have been with them for almost 10 years. I see a lot of dodgy brokers posted here. It's only when you want to withdraw your profits you know the genuine brokers from the dodgy ones. HL have never failed me.

You see why the grass might be greener on the other side because it is watered more... didnt know they pay more tax .

Thanks for the enlightenment BouharryArtikou , deept , Ralphlauren

The investment profits are subject to CGT provided it's above £12300 in a year. My overall profit since I started never reach that. However, if you are trading stock and shares within ISA, it is tax exempt for up to 20k per year.

But, if eledumare grant my heart desire and shiba reaches £0.05 today, I go go press Boris' nose for Downing street.

@simran94 Try lemonade finance..heard about the app here, ed from Google play. Used it to transfer last week, had a bit of a snag, sent them a DM on twitter and the issue was resolve. Money got to my naija within 3 mins

A quick one for those with kids.

Because load plenty, I want to buy one laptop bag for each kid plus the cabin luggage which is 7kg or so. Just to use to contain extra loads. Hope there is no issue with that. That excludes the normal 2 bags of 23kg All of us go carry laptop bag with cabin luggage. Meanwhile it’s only my own that will have laptop.

Any issue with that? Hope the Naija airport winch will be asleep when I

This is my style of investment too. Long term and watch your income grow. Choosing companies with high dividend yield also.

Vanguard are also very good and their Brooker fees is very minimal.

Justwise, never replies to emails........ He is a BOT.......

He might even be a she, for all we care ..........

umarwy:


I also believe the conspiracy that he's a she.

Not the modern model btw. Just normal fasle info

Are you suggesting that i'm a she-male[?

You people are not playing with this new part at all and now made me catch up after several days of reading through more than 40 pages. I will not dissappear and miss hot gist again oo.

Welcome back @Aphrodite007, we missed ya and glad you are doing great.

Thanks for your message on celebrating Little wins, saw it at a good time and we really do get overwhelmed amongst everything else.

I also thought @dustydee was a woman oo �� , maybe it's Shim sha

Missed the argument from our Mr Alaba intl importer exporter of drugs, some very funny responses that made my day.

Always a pleasure reading through @Ticha post omo, semi-retire at 50. We don bookmark the post and hopefully save enough to venture into it.

I want to add Engineering to the list of lucrative courses people can focus on asides IT and medics. It is a really lucrative industry, with loads of opportunities,although the salary return may not be as high as some IT roles. Lets also encourage our kids, nieces, nephew etc to study Engineering related courses, I am forever grateful to the person that pushed me to Quantity surveying.

There are lots of Engineeringcompanies offering apprenticeship roles with starting salary of 22k with benefit (for 2/3days at work) and still pay their Tuition. Basically, they are not saddled with student loans and still have good savings once done. I have seen 2 black kids in my coy blow up this opportunity on youthful exuberance.

Oga beryour i dey watch you oo, seems you wan port away from Engineering with all this tech analysis and abandon me, issokay oo

Reading through all the posts and seeing iboboyswag situation get resolved pages later was quite motivating and should be a lesson to people creating groups outside NL on whatsapp, seun really did strike gold, make he just increase some of its functionality.

Glad it all worked out @iboboyswag I can imagine the dilemma you and the family went through, the fear of UKVI ehn.

@akorkor having issues with that email and glad you asked your question on here and got better suggestions and help that I may not have been able to offer privately.

Does anyone here know if a transit visa is needed for KLM when flying from Nigeria to Uk with a Nigerian port?

This is my style of investment too. Long term and watch your income grow. Choosing companies with high dividend yield also.

Your approach is a good one. With stock and shares these days, one has to be strategic and tactical at the same time. There's something called growth stock and dividend stock. Yourself and Claremont are currently investing in dividend stocks which most of the returns are long term (5years +) There's another set called the hype stocks. These are mostly driven by hype and you make your returns very fast. For example, Rivian EV when launched on stock exchange was trading at $70 per share, within few days, the price rose to $160. If you buy like 200 shares on Monday that week for 14k, by Friday you'd have made 18k when you sell. Please tell me why I'd hold Rivian stock for long at that price when I know full well that it is driven by hype or major social event? When the hype is down the stock would have come back to its real price which would be about $20. If you now want to keep stocks for longterm, you can buy again at the real price. You have quickly made your gains and left the market or possibly reinvest it in ETFs and Life strategy funds on Vanguard. This is the art of gaming the market!

caveat***it could go both ways

You don't need a transit visa, if you are not exiting the airport............

Hi Justwise, I sent you a mail

Sorry For late reply.

I’m not welling to engage in such transition considering the risk involved.

Are you sure about this? I've tried to book both klm and air and a transit visa was required. It simply means you are ing through their borders (airport)
