The FTSE

Don't know if this is beginners luck or what. I had a few bob which was earning nothing and stuck some into shares.
I got talking to a fella who was well up in the gaming industry we were talking about the betting shops being closed and I said it must be damaging them, this was back in Aug he said it won't bother them much and he had stuck a few quid in william hill share4s back in april when they dropped like a stone and had more than doubled his money but he said he was going to keep them as they were doing deals in the US for online gaming so I stuck a few bob in they are up 95% from when I bought them.
Mentioned it to another fella who is pretty well up in the world who said stick your money in Avacta who are in pharmaceuticals and looking at covid vaccines they were already miles in front but I still went ahead they are down 12%. He also said try eddie stobart of which there are 2 diff companies so I stuck into both of them one is up 83% the other 86%. After this I started looking at the markets myself I noticed one "expert advising a top tip for 2021 and another expert advising to sell the same stock so I thought I will just stick to what I fancy. I looked and read about under armour - reading up on them they were lagging behind nike and adidas but were starting to get themselves together so into them I went they are up 32%. Then I noticed this thread and started reading as it went along and noticed someone mention SKLZ gaming it sounded a good idea so stuck in them and they are up 31%. Next someone else on here mentioned Biden getting in and the grren climate situation so I bought GEVO which are a bio fuel they are up 37%. Next was HYLN who turn normal lorry engines into electric bought them and they are up 7%. Thats all I'm on at the moment so only Avacta are showing a loss I have different amounts in and the total gain over the whole lot is 21.62% on the money I have put in. I now can't stop looking at the fukin things. I suppose had william hill gone down and then seeing avacta go down I would have probably called it a day but at the moment all is going well. May well be beginner's luck I don't know but with the boozers being shut the gyms being shut and not being able to go to the match there is fuk all else to do other than keep looking at these.

Could be time to top up on shares in travel companies. They've taken a bit of a caning in the last week or so with scare stories about no holidays this summer. It's a gamble of course because the industry might not reopen as soon as people would like but it might be worth a punt. I'm going to top up my TUI because I doubt the German government will let it go under.

TUI up nearly 10% since I posted this on Friday morning. Bound to crash now that I'm being smug about it.

On another subject, I speculatively bought SCLP last April for about 9p. They've been doing alright at around 14p until today when they briefly doubled in price following media coverage over the weekend of a potential breakthrough in a Covid vaccine that covers all possible mutations. There was no RNS this morning so the price has fallen back to 20p (up 50% on the day). Missed the chance of selling at 28p so will hold, although tempted to sell half. If there is an RNS which backs up the media coverage it could shoot up again.

You seem to have read a lot about companies and hit the jackpot each time!! Just a tongue in cheek ask about which company you're reading about today! :)

Okdok I got the wrong end of the stick !Someone else asked if I was Warren Buffet not sure if he thought I was making it all up ??
As I say prob 99% luck - SKLZ definitely came from this forum and they are up 30% since I bought them a month ago.

That was me.

no, not being snide, it’s just that you’ve done well with those picks so it was a little joke. Assuming you know who WB is ??

I wouldn’t mind being a pound behind WB.
As I say I think I just touched lucky especially with the Stobart ones which are split in two yet both keep goin up.
