Blog started 2016. Achieved Financial Independence in 2021. Personal journal to record investment decisions for my own reference and in future, for my loved ones who will take over the portfolio. Advertising free as I'm not seeking hits or ad revenue. On the internet anyone can have a pretend portfolio, whether you think this blog is fake or real, doesn't bother me. :)

Brexit Day 2 onwards: Trades
Day 2 of Brexit and onwards
I continued to day-trade LYG to learn more about day-trading and closed each day's position within 24 hours.
More important to the long-term health of my portfolio, I purchased Aviva, Prudential, and Legal & General at pretty good prices. This helped to lower the average purchase prices of these counters.
I also found out that for cash accounts, IBKR will only allow let you trade with settled cash. Meaning if you have $2k and buy and sell $2k on the same day, the amount you have to trade is $0 until the trades settle. The cautiousness of IBKR is actually a good thing.
