Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Your second paragraph feels like a personal attack lol

Ha, sorry about that - I meant more that I don't know enough to pick individual shares well, so I just chuck some play money in there from time to time, and if I lose it then it's no biggie. For proper investing, for me ETFs are safer because of the spread, and I don't need to go deep diving into the financials and risk of individual companies.

I think it is what you make of it.....lucky it doesn't allow leveraged investing....

I remember signing up and putting a couple Hundy down at like 4 in the morning after a night on the beers, bit my finest moment.

Leveraging is definitely a whole other beast, glad there's no temptation there
