How come U.K. stocks all red?

Rich what was your max bench, dead, squat?

Saw you’re ex powerlifter. Lockdown killing me I’m waiting on more plates for delivery, joke prices.

Yeah, I’ve had swings of well over Ā£1000 in a day😬. It’s scary seeing ya margin bar go into yellow heading towards the 25% mark!

That’s why I take high blood pressure tablets!:hugs:

Patience is key and don’t let emotion force you to make rash decision.

I have those ETFs. They seem to perform well . Good choice.

I have actually just sold all my weights… as I couldn’t help myself with the stupid prices bought oly bar and 300kg plate weight and few other bits for Ā£500 put it on Ebay and got Ā£1100 for it!!

1RM
Bench - 165kg
Squat - 265kg
Deadlift - 280kg

Nice man.

Mine are:

Bench 170kg
Deadlift 250kg
Squat - tbh I don’t know haven’t tried heavy for a while maybe 200+

I’m 92kg though so good for my weight. Natty never done gear.

Blunt but 100% accurate. I don’t know why people get into stocks when they can’t stomach a teenie little loss.

Demo platform is there for free folks. Play with pretend money and not your own :+1:t2:

I’ve been smashing free bets out of boredom made about Ā£300 put it on my shares. Need to get out the trap. :joy::joy:

I am natty also and was an unequipped lifter however my bodyweight was about 110kg so pound for pound you probably have me!

I did strongman after powerlifting at which point my bodyweight went up to 146kg and I was deadlifting bars that were 300-320kg but I was using straps and some of the bars were a higher pickup than your normal oly bar so I don’t count them in my 1RM… quit that though after reaching UK’s as I couldn’t compete with all the ā€œsupplementedā€ athletes.

Yeah sorry for that! :rofl:

I don’t understand people that lie and enjoy winning. It’s like playing a video game and cheating what’s the point…I have more respect for gear heads who admit it and compete.

I take it you weren’t investing in March 2020 where literally every stock was down 20- 80%? Even Apple and Amazon were cratering?

No only just started in November

No offence but did you think your holdings would only appreciate in value? In the next few months we could see a 20-30% drop in the market and this is completely normal, sentiment changes, people ā€œtake profitsā€ and massive indexes/funds rebalance- it’s the natural course of the market.

don’t worry, there are lots of good potential stocks out there and lots of solid companies still haven’t seen their covid-dip price recovery yet.

it’s never too late to see your positions grow, whether you started in march 2020, march of 1970 or last week.

just do your due diligence and find that small handful of companies you can buy for value
