Hi, im a uni student currently in the UK on my final year. Technically I had started investing on December 2022 but back then it’s more trying to play around and see what happens. And because trading 212 has 0 commission fees or holding fees I just thought to throw 10 pounds in a bunch of companies that I think would do well and let things happen. However recently I have decided to go all in, seeing the recent dip in $VUSA (-5,34 %) as the perfect entry point to dump most of my money into.
while I do have stable income (~450/month) it goes down after term time, however as I am pretty frugal I managed to gather enough money so my portfolio is not just scraps and pieces. Here’s the break down of my portfolio:
ETF: mostly my savings account that’s better but inaccessible on weekends, $VFEG (-5,21 %) is there so if S&P shits the fan while I’m not looking I won’t lose everything, and if I am then that’s where the money is going at least temporarily. I am currently putting in at least 50 pounds into it per month.
Stocks: mostly a sandbox where I try out different things, hopefully majority of them are well informed. Though I will mention currently my stock portfolio is absolutely carried by $RHM (-10,98 %)
$BA. (-9,05 %) and $RR. (-15,21 %) . Having bought them back in 2022. though not all decisions I make are winners for example selling $NVDA (-7,25 %) and $AMD (-8,01 %) on early 2023 fearing that AI is a bubble. You can’t win them all I suppose
in the future I’m looking for leveraged on S&P for example $3USL (-17,33 %) but I will be putting in stop orders and/or keeping an eye on it actively. And of course to get a better job :P
please if you have comments about the portfolio feel free to do so
