‘Buy orders cannot be facilitated by intermediary.’ What’s usually the cause for this? Is it usually a temporary restraint? by Reecepiece in trading212

[–]Nip_Sock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just checked the ticker on Trading 212 restricted list,

you were allowed 15k shares per order size and a total position size of 75k shares,

https://www.trading212.com/trading-instruments/invest

i am well below that, i just tried to buy again and it says limited to sell only,

i just forget about it, if you want more shares you will need another broker, we may see a drop when people give up and sell ABML at a loss,

it has happened before, hopefully the stock recovers,

the only way to fix it is to go to a normal broker that charges a fee per purchase or a monthly subscription,

as for can they force close positions ?,

i don't know, Robin Hood did remove the GME buy button during the squeeze when hedge funds were losing billions, i assume the worst and plan for that,

they aren't connected though...

payment for order flow isn't going away any time soon.

Local supermarket has started to put a protective barrier around the employees whilst they put the reduced food out on the shelves. Out of shot is a horde of eager pensioners ready to pounce. by Infinite_Surround in CasualUK

[–]Nip_Sock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

let me guess who is disliking these comments ?,

it saddens me how divided we have become,

even sadder is it has been designed this way to keep us fighting amongst ourselves,

and not notice when reduced taxes for the rich are brought in, and having the deck stacked against us to the point they have to be given handouts to pay our winter fuel bills, until April,

but who pays that debt incurred ?, our kids, grand kids & and unborn great grand kids,

government incompetence by wilful ignorance, or more sinister on purpose, in allowing our country to be held to ransom and forced price increases of 120% in the gas price compared to France 20% or less price rise, and no windfall tax on the energy companies ?,

Unfortunately we seem to have a class of people who can't think for themselves and just parrot what the government, social media and newspapers tell them to think,

glad to see a person who sees what is really going on.

hopefully people never get in this situation,

but it is funny isn't it, choosing to have the heating on or eat a full priced meal,

or you could have the heating on a bit, and hopefully you found a discounted chicken,

when Morrisons have inflated the price by 70% over the last year, only to discount 50% meaning you are still paying more for the discounted item than the full priced item was just 6 months ago,

a 1kg tub of plain yoghurt went from £1 to £2.80 overnight, 180% increase, many more similar examples across the stores,

no one wants to live off of yellow label stuff,

but the government some voted in, is doing this on purpose, inflation is crippling people for no other reason than 1.2 trillion more money was printed during the lockdown for the common cold,

when people could of worked, they were very low risk & perfectly healthy, but to stop riots in the street people were paid to sit at home for months, people who didn't need the money, but greedily snatched every penny,

so who knew if you print unlimited new money, that the price of stuff would double, 30% food inflation this year alone, $2.19 for a loaf of bread now, was a quid last year, 120% increase,

but sometimes people have worked all their lives to be able to collect their state pension only to be forced to eat the cheapest not the most healthy food,

all i hope is karma taps people on the shoulder and then they realize,

but until then just keep treating people with utter contempt, do everything in your power to sh*t on the slightest bit of joy someone might have, because dirt poor people are parasites and it is hilarious to watch them suffer,

because everybody can afford full price food, right, just work harder you lazy sod, or get a 3rd job, or don't put the gas on for a week in the middle of winter, feed your kids instead of yourself.

Hedge fund manager Mark Mobius warns that US interest rates could hit three-decade high of 9%. Do you think the Fed could raise rates that high without breaking something? by predictany007 in wallstreetbets

on a global reset, government debt gets cancelled,

lets start again with the digital dollar,

sh*t muncher debt gets conveniently rolled over,

thems the rules.

i bought on Friday when it reached $0.52 and it completed,

we may be heading for a nice rally market wide,

just me being cynical but it will definitely reduce upwards potential with ABML,

At least they aren't force closing positions yet,

the house always wins, if it doesn't it skews the odds so it does.

if the base rate is forecasted to go up to 5.75% what on earth will actual mortgage rates look like? by islasparkles in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Nip_Sock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maybe 2 more hikes are priced in between 1 to 2% more,

inflation was supposed to top out at 14% by the end of the year,

some say to break inflation you need interest rates at the same or higher than the inflation number, we are currently at 9.9% inflation, and a base interest rate of 2.25%,

but that will collapse the economy as government also has debt and their repayments go up as the interest rate increases,

keep an eye on the bank of england, i wouldn't be surprised if we saw a 1% rate rise next,

they have to destroy demand by increasing prices, and they do that by increasing interest rates,

i would just keep a close eye on what they hint at, they seen to follow the US fed as i believe they are linked to the same banking family.

for safety i chose Zopa, they survived the 2008 financial crisis as a peer 2 peer lender,

they are now a Bank with a banking license and FSCS protection up to £85 k,

i think their fixed is 4.56%, so less than Atom, but potentially less risky,

but it will be exposed you to tax at 20% over the first £1000 interest, as neither Zopa or Atom do iSA's for some reason,

i do have iSA's in Loan Pad and that isn't protected by FSCS so my total investment isn't covered, but i do get 4.8% and my money is locked for 3 months from withdrawal,

it is a case of how much risk you are willing to take, how diversified you want to be, your age and how close to needing that money you are,

Zopa doesn't bump out monthly interest so i can only put 70k in as it will earn 15k in interest over 5 years, and i am only covered to 85k,

so i would do 70 into Zopa, and 15 into Atom,

and add to atom as the cash or rates spiked,

my feeling is rates will top out and likely won't stay high for long,

once inflation starts to trend down and the bank of england start to hint of rate drops it is likely we are near a top,

doing the research now so you feel comfortable is a great idea,

i am comfortable with my risk portfolio, leave plenty of cash at hand in case of unforeseen situations,

and if you lose sleep over decisions you are to exposed to risk.

[–]Nip_Sock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes savings rate fixed for 5 years is 5% at Atom Bank,

hopefully we see it trend up with a further 3% base rate rise,

as this will effect the interest paid by the government on it 's debts, i don't see it staying high for Long,

so i want to lock in at or near the top for as long as possible,

i am preparing now.

TSLA Earnings wed 19th. quick poll calls or puts are your play. by 19Rocket_Jockey76 in wallstreetbets

[–]Nip_Sock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes but Apple just wants the sticker price, without a % gain from the loan, as you are already buying a 50% profit margin product,

if they don't do that, Tesla could, it would definitely drive demand,

so you pay the same amount as someone who pays up front,

i might be wrong.

car loans interest rates have mooned,

i assume that would create less buying pressure,

could Tesla do a Buy Now Pay Later ?,

Apple do it,

they can throw in one of them robots that walks like it shat it's pants.

Atom Bank launches 5% savings account fixed for 5 years - best fixed in over a decade! by eyes_on_the_prize_13 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Nip_Sock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't invest and allow 14% inflation to reduce your purchasing power,

if someone is going to give me £354 per month for 5 years and it being fully protected by a banking license and FSCS,

that will definitely help with the cost of living,

which isn't going away anytime soon,

high rates are a very rare thing, debt doesn't balloon when rates are high,

people cut back and only buy the basics, low rates makes debt reach all time highs.

[–]Nip_Sock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can i remove the interest month by month ?,

as Zopa don't allow it, so you can only put in 70k at the start to earn 85k after 5 years and still have it protected by the FSCS,

So it would be an extra £600 per year in interest i would miss out on for 5 years plus compounding interest.

[–]Nip_Sock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you believe rates will stay high,

i fixed a 5 year isa with santander at 5% and when it came out rates were 1.5 to 2%, maximum fix was 2 years, and had been for 3 years, i had 3 combined isa's sat earning good money,

assume rates will come down at some point as fast as they went up,

it will be competitive and rates will continue to go up until they have the desired effect,

when inflation is under control expect rates to drop and money printing to start again,

our economy is fueled by debt, it is how new money is created, no one is getting a mortgage at a 8 to 10% interest rate if they have any sense,

debt is the spittle that lubricates everything.

Zopa are increasing their Smart Saver interest rates by kasajack in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Nip_Sock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i asked them about their fixed for 5 year,

there is a problem, for safety, if you have 85k in a fixed term savings you can't remove the interest until the term expires,

meaning none of your interest is protected, as it will go over the 85k protection,

meaning you can only put in 70k for 5 years as you will earn 15k interest over 5 years,

so you are earning less interest as you can't add that extra 15k at the start,

so that is another £600 per year in missed interest at 4% not including compounding.
