Some good news today of the two week ceasefire and talks have lifted our portfolio 2% and will be more once the US markets open. We should have a better idea of how the portfolio is now positioned by early next week. I have made efforts to contain the risk while still leaving opportunity for recovery... Visa mer Översätt
The Iran situation has been a far bigger global problem than I ever imagined three weeks ago. To me it seems less likely now there will be a fast and easy resolution. Trump today declared both Iran and USA want a deal and stocks have risen. I am dubious that this is actually going to happen and seems... Visa mer Översätt
Another very difficult day for stocks. I have taken the opportunity to sell $CB (Chubb Corp) insurance and rotate the funds straight into $LGEN.L (Legal & General) . Chubb has made around 20% gains in less than six months that I have held it. It doesn't seem especially cheap anymore so I can't... Visa mer Översätt
Update and my thoughts on the past week and going forward.
The Iran situation has consistently surprised me on how much it has affected European stocks day after day in the past week. The portfolio is over 5% down at time of writing which is extremely disappointing. I have been adding to some positions... Visa mer Översätt
Portfolio update. Today has seen a drop in the international stocks in the portfolio due to the sudden jump in USD value as treasury bonds have regained some 'safe haven' status which is really knocking every global investment when viewed from a USD baseline (as we do on Etoro). As I am very... Visa mer Översätt
Quick update for today. Markets will be a bit shaky as although the strikes on Iran were widely expected, the wider regional strikes, especially Iranian missiles hitting UAE wasn't. Gold and Silver acting again as main safe havens. Energy stocks will be choppy as latest news gets digested.

Quick update.
Not much to report. The markets have been a bit choppy but not really heading in any clear direction. I have sold out the position in the Italian Post Office $PST.MI (Poste Italiane) this has made a good profit in a short time and reached what I felt was fair value now (no longer cheap)...

Portfolio update:
The $BTC position has hit my stop loss and sold out. There was nowhere near the level of support at the 70k level I expected and seeing it so quickly pass this means I'm... well obviously not happy... but content with the decision to get out at this level.
There has been a distinct... Visa mer Översätt
Small portfolio update.
Some extreme asset volatility since yesterday afternoon that I think should be mentioned. Gold and Silver has had a correction which should be viewed within the context of the rapid rise over the past few months. I am holding my position in both.
Crypto is also suffering big... Visa mer Översätt
I just wanted to put a few words down on the importance of separation of investment from trading, and trading from gambling.
Just to be clear for anyone new to all of this, in a very simplistic way, investment is taking a medium to long term view of where to put your money to make more money. Trading... Visa mer Översätt
