Re: Topic split: Investment thread
Any interest in starting an investing thread? Could be general, or targeted at stuff more palatable to many on here - EVs, new battery tech, low carbon energy etc. (although much money to be made from the mining required to make these technologies work).

Re: Topic split: Investment thread
But yeah, I would be interested in this. Although I wouldn't have much to contribute.

Re: Topic split: Investment thread
Can we book out a big lecture theatre somewhere? Get Pete to stand at the front and get us all whipped up and then we'll all start shouting "SEIZE EVERY SALE, CLOSE EVERY DEAL" etc. Then we'll each get handed a hundred copies of "North Wales Limestone" to flog with the promise that we'll be making $2000 a day.

As suggested.. For people to share info, ideas and experiences from the investing world.
Nothing posted on this thread constitutes investment advice!
Don't believe anything you read here, except this bit
Do always do your own research.
And never forget the investment world is full of people whose job is the skilled pumping or shorting of stocks by playing on your fear, greed and FOMO. They don't care if you lose all of your investment.
I'll add stuff later concerning the various topics/sectors that I've focussed on and built up knowledge of over the last twenty years of investing.. some successes and many failures. Hopefully somebody might find something interesting which leads them to research more about it.

Nice one for opening the floor Pete. Will be interesting to hear a different group of people's views. I have briefly dipped in and out of discussions/threads on various investment forums but always found them a bit too much.
To reiterate, nothing posted here is advice. Unless it comes good, then I will want commission.
A lot of my friends often ask me about my investment strategies/options as they are coming to the age (late 20s) where they suddenly start to think that racking up cash savings might not be doing them a lot of good long term. So I thought I would outline here what I usually say to them, in case it is of interest or use to anyone. Sorry if any/all of this is stating the obvious.
My investments generally sit in three tiers. Tier 1 of very low risk/boring stuff that I have no control ever. My workplace pension and managed portfolios (e.g. Moneyfarm, Nutmeg etc.). Not very exciting but useful as a slow burner base.
Tier 2 is the bread and butter. Usually low to medium risk investment funds focused on varies sectors/locales. I find this is where I seem to invest best, where I invest most, and what I will hopefully use to retire on. I think this stuff is pretty hard to fuck up if you're in it for long enough and diversify well.
Tier 3 is the speculation stuff and what I guess is probably of most interest here. Think what Pete did but with nowhere near the same levels of commitment! I have been slowly doing more of this recently though with the view at my age (late 20s) I can afford to take on more risk than I was previously doing. I have had various degrees of success with this, ranging from the utterly disastrous to the mildly successful. I have never put more than 0.75% of my total assets into any one deal, although this has slowly been creeping upwards. I can guarantee I will never do anything on the level of what Pete has done. I am full of admiration, while being totally aware that I would have called him a complete and utter fool for doing so beforehand.
I usually focus on small, innovative tech/engineering (often UK) companies, mainly as it is what I am most familiar with and find things easiest to research/gauge. Companies like Ilika that Pete mentioned in the other thread are the sort of thing I like. I'll try to remember to post things up as and when I come across them. Interested to hear what people are up to and interested in.

For the speculation stuff I'm always interested in how it gets onto people's radars.
Are you actively researching this stuff and if so how? Trawling the whole AIM index for opportunities would seem like a full time job.
Currently amazed by the state of the US stock market - I thought Tesla looked overpriced 6 months ago.
