Would have been nice to have bought some more Square when it was 7% down. Watch it end up +% now today lol.
The way the markets are swinging madly, might be a good thing that the trading platforms are down.
Just watch the nasdaq pick up soon.Comment

You said
Do you really believe that retail investors have invested to the net amount of around £75 BILLION this morning in FTSE100 stocks alone? (a very rough calculation based on 5% increase with a £1.5 Trillion FTSE100 total market capitalisation).
And that's just the FTSE100 - a fraction of the overall worldwide market increase today.
Do you realise how ridiculous you sound?
Actually, you probably don't. I doubt you even understand what market capitalisation means.
£75 billion is nothing, of course it is retail money. Bitcoin market capital is 4x that, and only speculators are holding that market up.
Between my stocks and crypto, have seen gains of 8% through to 60% - ridiculous sounding huh.."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Pearson was bought but not Lloyds - still not higher low.

Are we learning yet?

From Morningstar
“I wish I could feel as enthusiastic about education
materials publisher Pearson (PSON) but this much
changed company has still not found its way forward.
The shares were over 900p two years ago. They
now trade around 540p and the recovery
since May has run out of steam.
There is no compelling reason to buy.“"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment
