Filo, much the same here with my real shares, I have limited my day trading to just a few stocks that I think I can trust my judgment, keep to tight limits setting stops, and don't try to get too greedy, and don't get in too deep. I had some torrid times getting into this type of trading losing on a regular basis, but stuck at it and latched on to a couple of great traders who took me through the ropes. I just make a few bob, and don't get in over my head, gambling with their money if possible, I have bad days and would not recommend anyone to just get into it without a lot of time, and willpower to know when to get out, and trade on a couple of fantasy forums for a couple of years before taking the plunge.
BST is spot on there. I'm a millennial, so I get a bit pissed off at boomers who had the chance to buy a house, who reaped all the benefits of postwar socialist policies, who lived in towns like Mexborough when they had thriving industries and lots of jobs, who could go to university without being hammered with debt, who had a decent amount of help and welfare when they needed it, had high potential for social mobility to move up in life... who then turn around and say kids today have it easy. Sure thing mate. Tell that to the kids in Denaby who might well be bright, but get crammed through the school system on a shoestring, into a zero hours contract, because asking for support makes them benefit cheats and scroungers. Personal responsibility is important but it only gets you so far. God knows what would've happened if this government was in power during wartime.
Yes the generation that paid 14% for houses, didn't get a vote on the Lisbon Treaty, or the Maastricht treaty, and were sold down the river. Worst thing we did was have a shag, and come up with a lot of moaning entitled sprogs wanting everything given, made our arms ache when they were young, and our hearts ache when they got older. We even made the exams easy, and they are still stressed out, and what jobs there are in Mexborough are most likely filled with foreign labour because they get up in a morning, dont moan, and have got some balls, while you lot look for your next fix.
