I could also really try and get the money from elsewhere and keep the money where it is and hope that in, say 5 years, there will be a better time. Any advice?

If you can avoid cashing out of these right now, I would. Look at the cost of removing it (tax etc) vs. scrabbling it together from elsewhere.

aye, thanks

Chip doing ANOTHER crowdfunding round? Didn't they just finish the last one?

Yeah. The rationale on the call last week was that the last one raised more from the crowd than expected, to the point where what was left wasn't worth offering to a VC.
And expect another one shortly, but for bigger money (40m I think was touted) but that one actually being a VC round, as EIS will also have been exhausted by then.

Logged into my Vanguard fund to only see it down by about 3%...

Check out my -12% on the previous page.

That doesn’t seem that bad!
The BG alpha fund I have in my pension looks way worse 😂

Think this is a pretty interesting podcast for people on this thread.

If anyone's planning on moving their ISA into something ethical, CIRCA5000 are offering a £100 bonus for referrer and referred accounts apparently. You can build investments around clean water, renewable energy, open pharma projects, that sort of thing. Gives you the warm fuzzies. https://circa5000.com/invite?referrer=TWF0dGhldyBTcGFya2Vz&code=156311.755006

everything seems to be going up again recently. On Vanguard it's almost back to last years peak.

Just logged in and my LS100 up to 11%, glory days

gme announces a stock dividend at close last night
stock up 16% in after market

short covering to come possibly today and in the lead up to the ex date ?

Woah, I can almost stomach looking at my ISA again! Probably time to get out.

Aren't they going to split too? Have they announced what it will be?

Not yet - just that they had the option of issuing up to 300million shares (from the current 76m) and are increasing that to 1billion. So I guess they could do up to 13-1.

Edit - proposing an option to increase to up to 1billion shares

not yet, lots of headless chickens running around reddit trying to predict what exactly will happen

the famed 741 posts might have foretold what it will be though ?

Woah, I can almost stomach looking at my ISA again! Probably time to get out.

Nah

Well said. Think of all the plastic bikes we could buy.

Plastic bikes? My bloody gas bill more like
