    You could have picked up Lgen on Monday morning for £2.09 .
    That was extremely cheap given it's nearly ex divi day with a 15.36p dividend effectively getting the share for £1.93 after divi.

    Didn't add to LGEN or Phoenix Group this dip, M&G seemed to be the best finance buy with a high yield? looks like the show is over for now.

    Yes I bought MnG after they dropped from £2,37 to 1.95 thinking that's about as low as they might get .
    Just shows what tarrifs and a few days can do .

    Truth.

    Like I said in my other post, my regular investment day was the day prices surged <doh>

    I swear sometimes, if I fell in a barrell full of tits, I'd come out sucking my thumb!

    The smart people are using these dips to load up their investments. I've had so many calls these last couple of weeks with people wanting to sell their portfolios or panicking. They will thank me long term that I've advised they keep them or even buy more.

    Components for smartphones, computers and chips exempted from the highest reciprocal tariffs.

    Could be a good Monday.

    You don't think the insiders loaded up on Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Broadcom etc last week?
    Surely not.

    Out of the blue, in the space of three or four days I received a seemingly innocent text message sent in error. To the chase. Chat moved to watsapp and node trading was mentioned. I feel this could well be a scam, no **** sherlock, but has anybody tried this? Anybody know how it works? I have tried google, and it seems to be totally different to out and out speculating on Bitcoin, or mining with a warehouse full of computers hooked directly to Drax.

    Anybody tried it?
    Anybody been scammed?

    It's a scam. If you are cold called/text and they want to move it to WhatsApp its a scam. I would never even dream of taking financial advice or make an investment with someone who was cold calling me.

    From Google:-

    A node trading scam typically involves a scammer creating a fake trading platform to trick victims into investing in digital assets or foreign currency (forex).

    How the Scam Works
    1. 1. Initial Contact:
      Scammers initiate contact via social media or messaging apps, sometimes under the guise of a romance or friendship.
    2. 2. Building Trust:
      They build rapport by discussing their supposed trading successes or future goals, probing the victim's financial situation.
    3. 3. Investment Opportunity:
      The conversation shifts to a trading opportunity, often for cryptocurrency or forex.
    4. 4. Fraudulent Platform:
      Victims are directed to a fraudulent trading website or app, where they are instructed to deposit funds.
    5. 5. Initial "Profits":
      Victims may see initial "profits" appear on the platform to encourage them to invest more.
    6. 6. Inability to Withdraw:
      When victims try to withdraw their funds, they find it impossible, with the scammer often demanding more money to release the funds.
    Red Flags to Watch For
    • Guaranteed Profits: Scammers often promise unrealistic returns or quick, easy money in the crypto or forex markets.
    • Demand for Cryptocurrency: Only scammers will demand payment in cryptocurrency.
    • Unsolicited Contact: Anyone contacting you out of the blue or through a dating app to introduce you to a trading platform is likely a fraud.
    • Lack of Video/In-Person Meetings: Scammers may avoid video calls or in-person meetings, using endearing language but being too shy or unable to connect visually.
    • Fraudulent Trading Websites: These platforms may use generic "Best Site" awards and fake testimonials to build credibility.
    • Inability to Connect to Legitimate Institutions: Scam sites often won't connect to real financial institutions.

    I'd block them immediately if it was me.

    As a general rule its illegal for any company to cold call offering financial advice.
    Whether that be someonr like say Aviva or another well known business, even companies you may already have investments with can't.

    So yeah its a scam.
