I’m in for 120 on Doge. I better wake up tomorrow and be able to retire ! Somehow though I feel I’ll be getting in the car and trudging off to work.

I hope you didn't sell

Advice needed folks :

I invested about 1.5 k into TUI in March when covid initially hit. This has gained me a profit increase to date of just shy of 1k.

I am wondering wether i should take my profit now or risk waiting until travel starts again at which case the 1 k profit will likely end up being 2k profit.

I am worried though that if travel doesn't start again until 2022 it could be BUST completely for companies like TUI.

Any advice is much appreciated ?

Sell about half and leave the other half in play.
If it tanks you can bale out and lose nowt.
If it soars you're quids in.
If you can afford to lose £1,500 then why worry. Set a firm selling threshold? Say, at double your money?

Can't be arsed with crypto. Seems to me it's like betting on a horse without access to a form guide.

Seems like Elon disagrees with you.

If I had enough cash to be able to influence the market to my own advantage I wouldn't agree with me either.

My only advise would be to ask yourself “would you buy it here?” If the answer is no then sell, if the answer is yes then hold. If the answer is not sure then think about offloading half of it.

They have no fundamentals, apart from a few crazies who you shouldn’t listen to nobody actually believes the “back story” about replacing currencies (if they did they wouldn’t keep telling you how much they’ve made trading crypto in £/$/EUR/etc). In the absence of any fundamentals it seems to chart quite well because people hang their coats on invisible hooks and want to pretend this is a market behaving in a rational way. Good luck to anyone who punts on this shit, it’s not for me, so I’m out.

Rumoured Apple considering bitcoin now, many people in the Uk with US funds will soon be exposed to crypto, If not already.

It makes a lot of sense for Tesla to invest in bitcoin, bitcoin can rise by 5-10% in a week at the moment so it's easy profit and Musk only has to tweet about it to jump the price. He could pay the wages just by selling the profits off the increases.

It doesn't change the fact though that it's actually worthless and only propped up by the hype surrounding it. I don't know a single person who's invested in it for it's benefits such as payment anonymity etc.

At the moment it will keep going up because it's easy money but everyone has a line set where they'll exchange it for cash and that is the definition of a bubble.
