Well., hello there laddies! Welcome back to part two of my investing journey. It's been a while laddies. Lots have happened since the last update. Old me was just an investing noob who wrote that last article. Now, I am an investing prodigy, a connoisseur of sorts.
Long story short, I went from being -8% to being 10% positive in a matter of a few weeks! Told you I'm a G out here. Boys, don't believe these rumors that I lost that 10% profit. It may be totally true, but let's not ruin the mood out here fam. Lets make it look like my life is perfect and all amazing, that's how social media works, right?
The last time I left off here, I was down -£180 on my vanguard account and around -10% down on my Trading 212 account. I was doing very bad, taking fat L's left and right, but it was time to go super Saiyan mode. Here is how I went from -10% to +15% and then back down to 0% profits..... I'll split this section into Rumble, Meta Materials, and Other stocks.
I was £50 down on my Rumble stocks, as Rumble had crashed from $13 to $9 as Kanye bought up a rival company. My trading 212 account had £500 in, and Rumble kept crashing to $7. Luckily, it hit my stop loss and I was so upset I had lost the money I didn't even put money in. But the gambling did not stop. For some reason, I went all in and Invested all my money plus another £300 I transferred over into Rumble at $7 and something amazing happened. A youtuber named stevewilldoit announced his partnership with Rumble and Kanye got canceled for saying naughty things about jews. The rumble stock shot up from $7 to $10.20 in 2 days. I couldn't believe it, I went from being negative to being well in the profits. I sold all my shares as I thought it surely could not go higher and I would buy back once it had crashed a bit. THIS WAS A BIG MISTAKE. Rumble blew up even more to $13, making me lose out on £300 extra profits if I held on. Even though I won profits, this was a huge L for me. I'm just used to taking many L's. Over the weeks I invested some more in Rumble and made meager profits, but several days ago, Rumble took a huge hit from $13 to $10 and I bought £1700 worth of shares at £10.48 since the earning reports were good and the only reason people were selling because the stock was "overvalued". Everyone around me was saying it was going to recover back to $13 easy, but all it has been doing for the past two weeks has been mingling between $9 and $10, making me stuck with a £100-£250 loss if a sell. For frick sake. Luckily I hope it will recover, and if it doesn't, I'm screwed!
Mr. Lucas TCE first introduced me to this stock in a discord I had joined several weeks prior. He was constantly talking about this stock along with MMTLP in such depth, I was like Mark Cuban and said "Frick it", and invested around £100 in. The stock kept growing and investing more in, led me to obtain £100 in profits. Very Nice! The stock went down as well making me lose that £100 profit and me being a retard and kept selling for losses. If I honestly just not kept selling and actually held, I would have doubled my money by now. I was messing around the $0.80 and $1.30 range and now the stock is worth around $2.00. I started to follow news about this stock on Twitter and I fully joined into the MMAT hype. Unfortunately, I sold when it jumped up from $1.28 to $2 at around $1.50 like an idiot, gaining me a nice £100 profit. But yet again I was taught I just hold on to my shares and believe in the company and not get spooked by my share prices going up and down. They will eventually go up. Now I hold around £500 in MMAT shares, fullying enjoying the ride, and hoping to see this short squeeze everyone is talking about. Shout out to MMAT and Lucas. I won't talk about this stock a lot but this stock has been a game changer for me its made the investing journey so much fun and it has taught me a lot ngl.
Oh boy, I've got some stories of random stocks I bought and sold. Most of them were pretty much day trades which I bought and sold on the same day, looking for a quick buck. I ain't going to lie, never do this, I lost way more times than I actually won. Hold for the long term laddies. Anyways, here are some big wins and losses I got from random stocks.
Cineworld - One morning I woke up and did my daily trading 212 social tab read, and I saw someone had posted about Cineworld stock exploding. It went from 2p to 6p a share and I quickly bought in without second thought. The stock jumped to just over 7p and I sold. I made a nice £80 profit! Noice! This gave me the rush of dopamine and the gambling addiction kept on going. I invested again once it dipped but it further dipped, hitting my stop loss and I lost all my £80 worth of profits. For frick sake. I bought in again just when the market closed, hoping for Americans to buy into the stock pre-market and the next day, I woke up late, missed the all-time high, but still managed to sell for a nice £50 profit. Thank you Cineworld <3
Navya - This car company shot up in the morning when the market opened, and I invested in it, and sold around the peak for some small profits. I then bought it again at the supposed dip and I lost around £80 as it never jumped up and it slowly crashed and died. I kept moving my stop loss down since I thought people where "hunting" for it, but nah, just a rug pull, and that stock is just in the depths of hell. Big Loss for me :(
Amzn, Grpn, RR, Prty and others - I ain't going to lie, I thought these were great buys at the time, But I usually either lost a decent amount of money -3%+ or gained a small insignificant amount of profits. These taught me a lesson to actually do research with the company and actually believe in the company and not chase quick gains. Chasing quick gains just leads to misery.
Last episode of the crypto journey, I purchased a whole £10 of ETH (which was around 0.005 ETH). I also obtained £5 worth of Bitcoin for signing up to Coinbase, pretty nice start ngl. Crypto was slowly going up and still recovering from the crypto collapse a few months ago, but whatever lied next, was a total shock.
I ain't gonna lie boys, this section is going to be short as someone named Mr. Sam Bankman-Fried decided to beat crypto more with his limp greedy penis. His company FTX, one of the biggest crypto exchanges collapsed on 11 November 2022, leaving crypto even more of a wasteland than the wasteland it already was. I had originally purchased another £10 of ETH just before the collapse after I learned that you could purchase crypto off Coinbase much cheaper than the 10% fee Coinbase offers. 10% fee, you heard me right! Luckily I learned from a gem of a Reddit post, that you could use Coinbase Pro for free if you already had Coinbase. I couldn't believe that Coinbase Pro was free, I originally thought it was a paid membership, for much cheaper fees, but apparently, it was just a whole conspiracy Coinbase set up.
Unfortunately Coinbase Pro was going through a merging process with Coinbase itself, which left the Coinbase Pro website laggy as frick and impossible to purchase crypto from. Luckily for me, they is another platform Coinbase offers called Coinbase Advanced, which is basically Coinbase Pro. Unsurprisingly, it's really difficult to find Coinbase advanced on the main Coinbase website. Naughty, Naughty Coinbase. I managed to purchase £10 of ETH with Fees of a few pence. Pretty darn good if you ask me! But the FTX catastrophe was starting.....
News started to pop up about Binance (the biggest crypto exchange) was going to buy FTX as FTX was facing liquidity issues. Long story short, Binance did not buy FTX, and FTX died causing most crypto to collapse around 20-30%. ETH was around £1300 before the crash and my £20 worth of ETH was worth around £16-£17, RIP that £3 :( . However, in the discord servers I was in, people were snapping up these cheap crypto deals like 14-year-olds snapping up Prime Hydration at 6am in ASDA. I fell for the hype and purchased £250 worth of ETH, equating to 0.2 ETH over the span of a few days. I was aiming to purchase up to 1 ETH until I realized the truth......
I sold all my ETH and BTC as soon as I could, taking the loss of money from converting the stupid ETH 2.0 back to ETH and withdrawing it. Luckily, I had withdrawn just in time, and ETH collapsed further from £1060 to £900. All my money was secure in my bank account! I warned all the people in the discord, and I will keep warning everyone, crypto is going to take a further hit and everyone should sell. THIS IS NOT THE DIP. Winter is coming for us all. I had suggestions of sticking crypto in a cold wallet or stalking it with MetaMask, but I am so glad I sold it. Also, I gave some crappy coin to some random guy on discord for no reason. Anyways, my crypto journey is at a halt for now, but as Arnold says, I'll be back.
17th January, my birthday. I don't really celebrate my birthday at all (because its a pagan practice), but today is a special day. Not because it is my birthday, It is because after over a year, I will finally come out with the truth on why I stop streaming between July 2022 and Jan 2023.
Y'all forced me to write this. On the 22nd of March 2023, whilst playing crowd control sonic mania, I accidently leaked that I am the three time 2008/2009/2010 ghanian videogame world champion, when seb started disrespecting my ability in videogames.

Yes boss, you heard that right. On Monday the 7th of November 2022, I was kicked out of my own server. I knew it would happen mere weeks before, and I may have pushed for the ban, but it was inevitable.
Before I get to my personal review of the largest Tesco in the united kingdom, let me first explain how it all started. How I magically ended up at the greatest location in the world.......
