For those that don’t like the volatility of crypto, but would like a better return than you can get in the high street, there is a really simple and risk-free way to get 12% at present:

  1. Download the Crypto.com app and sign up
  2. Transfer funds from your bank account to the Crypto.com fiat wallet
  3. Buy USDC (stablecoin linked to the US dollar)
  4. Stake it within the app (3 month’s minimum) for a 12% annual return, paid daily

Crypto.com has >10M users and are considered trustworthy and, out of interest, have just spent $175M sponsoring UFC

Interesting... But I don’t quite follow (and I have traded crypto before). So USDC is like tether, yeah? (Sorry I’m out of the loop a couple of years)
So I get the app, and buy USDC through it ?
Then what do you mean by ‘stake’ it? Is that just cold store it with them? And they pay 12% pa, but paid daily, is that right?

Chaps,

A low-risk, high probability idea for you in a UK stock (Unilever, ULVR). I discovered this as the pattern is exactly the same in the US stock (UL).

The share price has a tendency to reverse from its lows in March, and has done so consistently in recent years (each arrow at the bottom of the chart points to a March reversal). So, historically, the stock is seasonally strong over the coming 3 to 6 months.

Upside targets are marked at 4,500 and 4,900.

No guarantees, obviously ...

Chaps,

Unilever is at resistance, and it reports earnings on Thursday. It's just shy of "target 1" above, for a gain of c. £3.70 per share since entry.

You could hold through earnings if you're prepared to take the risk. I'm not, so I'm going to sell my shares.

If the earnings are impressive, re-entry is only a mouse click away with the targets as originally set ...

Yes, USDC is exactly like Tether, but doesn't have the question marks over whether it is fully backed. USDC is run by Coinbase, which itself is now trading in the stock market, and they claim that every $ of USDC is backed by a real US dollar, held in a bank account,

Crypto staking is a method used to validate proof-of-stake blockchain transactions in return for rewards (instead of mining in proof of work blockchains). Staking is done within the app - it literally takes a few seconds.

You have a choice of 'Flexible' (assets can be withdrawn at anytime) at 8%, 1 month term at 10%, or 3-month term at 12%. I've just checked and the interest is actually paid every 7 days, not daily, and would be paid in USDC.

Starbucks ... to the stars? They are certainly aligned here - A1 setup.

Looking very bullish to new all-time high, at the very least. But who knows?!

Chaps,

If you're in this trade, it's $11 up from entry and is at +3ATR on the monthly, weekly and daily charts. It's POTENTIALLY at exhaustion levels, and you should consider whether it's time to grab the money and run ...

I can't remember who highlighted it regarding Mark selling off and to be cautious of FB but it was a good shout. Just seen this in the news https://www.bbc.com/news/business-58006689

I sold FB at the start of the week, but am just waiting to buy back in….they haven’t dipped as much as I’d expected. They just keep smashing quarterly earnings and although there’s talk of lower and more difficult growth, it’s only relative to recent growth - they still have huge future potential. Over a billion people use marketplace every month already, and there are over 200 million businesses using its tools. Instagram is fast becoming the social media face of businesses, and WhatsApp is still largely unmonetised.

Added GCAT (Caracal) think Loz mentioned them.... #GCAT - Gold producer listed only few days ago CaracalGoldplc, potentially a £100M company at £14M mcap listed at 1p. The Jorc is worth $1.3B currently and rising to 2M oz. The Kilimapesa Gold Mine is a fully operational underground mine with 2 main production drives happening right now.

Pretty annoyed with the mainstream banks at the minute, only wanted to buy £100 worth of Crypto and blocked at every turn. What's the deal? Sour grapes coz they can't get their grubby mitts on it?

It’s disgusting. Hedging against inflation is illegal in their eyes. luckily most of my money was in crypto before they tied it up

How ridiculous! But if you spend £100 at Bargain Booze, or BetFred, that’s absolutely fine?!

I’m lucky I’m tight, I wasn’t happy with coinbases selling fees when I wanted out so said sod it I’ll leave it.. thankfully I did.
But yes surely it’s a human right to spend your money on whatever you want ..

Get yourself a Coinbase account, they are at the forefront, although banks still sometimes conveniently (for them) cancel transfers due to “fraud suspicions” - a quick ;) call to the bank’s call centre should resolve it though and avoid ;) it happening in the future

This particular thread hasn’t been active for a considerable period of time, admittedly I have never participated, but looked at it now and again. But it has brought back memories, which made me wonder what ever happened to the old bald British guy who resides in Australia. Always on about money, the magnificent view from his flat, conspiracies, and so on.
