Investment & Investing

Think DFV has scheduled some livestream for Friday.

Yeah I’ve had a play and it seems hit and miss. Metro bank is missing full stop, Monzo only seems to support current accounts and not savings accounts and Nationwide seems to support current accounts, credit cards but not savings accounts either as far as I can find out.

But then you have all your various store credit cards included, but no services like Nutmeg etc. All a bit of a hodgepodge really…

Well like I said investment firms aren't compelled by the open banking regulation to build those API gateways but I think card providers might be... Maybe.

You're 100% right there's still a long way to go to get open banking mainstream and adopted in all areas where personal finance exists.

Monzo savings aren't included as they technically aren't accounts with support code& account number etc. It's slightly different.

nice 50% day on gme ( i'm back in profit after three years holding ! ) now lets see if i can make some profit on the trade !
still creeping up relentlessly in afterhours, blitzed through 50 then 60 and approaching 70 in after hours that's 100% + up on the day

now lets see if i can make some profit on the degenerate gamble !

with dark pools and otc trading and numerous different exchanges for trading stocks it seems like any investment these days is a bit of degenerate gamble, well maybe except nvidia cause everybody loves nvidia !

your research might be right but the groups of market makers and hedge funds working together can push the stock up or down on their whim

i took three years for the hedge funds and dark pools to gradually push gme down to $10 and it's regained that in 3 weeks

i very very rarely watch any kind talking head type podcast or you tube channel but i'll be tuning in to roaring kitty's live stream today just to say i was there !

degenerate gamble

Bitcoin thread is this way >>>>

cause everybody loves nvidia !

Yep, all totally normal. CEO signing boobs is all par for the course.

yur just jel of Jensens leather jacket

Have you seen the video of it? Jensen looks incredibly uncomfortable.

If you were going to get him to sign something, then surely it would be a spatula?

What you on about?! That's Jon Bon Jovi!

What's the share trading platform of choice at the moment?

Power move would have been to sign her forehead.

trading212 or freetrade for me

t212 for normal stocks + ISA

degiro for weirder stocks

Hargreaves Lansdown for me, took advantage of cashback deal to transfer isa last year.

Moneyhub seems to have extra integrations as well as the open banking. It's pulled in my nutmeg account correctly (shows the different pots and the balances) and a few other savings accounts.

Thanks, and to @swedeee too, have just opened a trading212 account.

Neat. Does it do the budget setting/expenses tracking bit nice and easily? Couldn’t make it out on their website but looked more to be an investement/savings vehicle vs budgeting. Playing around with Snoop and it seems to do the budgeting side of things as much as I need within the free tier, just limited on accounts to import

Yes. It's main function is the expense tracking and budgeting.

Expense tracking seems better than Money dashboard which I used before. Budgeting seems pretty flexible. Can either do overall or just specific categories of spend.

Lots of graphs to show expenditure and compare to previous months and stuff

Getting on the dfv gme rocketship?! HODL

I'm looking to invest in the next Nvidia...

Thanks. Downloaded, had a play around but didn’t like the overly fussy UI and the fact I couldn’t make custom categories. Did like the fact it integrated with more banks/institutions but definitely felt over engineered for what I was looking for

do tell, my £80 profit on gme disappeared down the plug hole today !
