The other week I met up with a couple of chaps I normally go to LeMans with as it's not likely to be on again this year. One of them, their son has a 'trainer' business, he's just turned 18 and turning over in excess of £40k a month. Whilst I was there the UPS driver 'George' (first name terms!) turned up with over 100 boxes of trainers. Fantastic business that's netting him over £5k a month, about 50% he never touches as his supplier delivers direct to the end customer all over the world.
It's all app based and during lockdown he was doing all manner of goods, he's been banned from a few stores including Argos for buying up all the game machines!3 -
Hahah that is brilliant! E-commerce is undoubtedly the future for almost any business. The idea of taking on substantial overheads absolutely terrifies me.Rob7Lee said:

Sounds like your mate's son has a brilliant dropship model going as well as obviously holding some stock.0 -
It's very clever, although maybe not morally 100%! His app notified him last year that Argos had 70 odd games machines in, by the time he got online there were about 50 left so he bought the lot, near on doubling his outlay within days.Huskaris said:

He's had an app built that constantly scours certain websites, on some of them he loads up what he wants into the app and it automatically will order, even takes into account discount codes, Unidays etc (and sets up accounts) . He's selling certain trainers for £4-500 quid that he's buying for around £300. he had some air Jordans (about 30 pairs) that he was selling for £800+, madness. I wouldn't know where to start aside from Sketchers

Thats about the size of it, he even has about 40 people signed up at £25 a month who he's teaching, but currently hasn't released the app to anyone else as that'd shoot himself in the foot pardon the pun. I did suggest he could licence the app o a monthly fee and probably make as much as the selling he's currently doing.kentaddick said:

Well my SIPP has reached a new all time high, thanks a lot to MI CHELVERTON UK which is up a stonking 55% since my investments in July and November last year, really should have gone all in as I'd be retiring now 3

so yes, thanking you!
I'm sorely tempted to take some profit out of it though much like I did with some of the American funds, 55% is obscene in 10 and 7 months.0 -
I must have been asleep earlier in the year, didn't realise our lovely chancellor had frozen the LTA amount until at least 2026. So much for increasing annually.

Yes, announced in the Budget in March. The fact that it is going to be frozen at around £1.080,000 for the next 5 years, when it was due to be at £2m in 2010 shows how much pension rules have been changed and how much the Treasury is taking in excess tax charges.Rob7Lee said:I must have been asleep earlier in the year, didn't realise our lovely chancellor had frozen the LTA amount until at least 2026.

Anyone got a trading 212 stock and shares isa? Was gonna use a stocks and shares isa throughout the year and then put in my £4K allocation into my LISA before end of March to get the government 1k bonus. Trading 212 is commissionless, and for small amounts I’m putting in it’s fine? Just wondering if any good/horror stories0

I’ve found a niche I could do this for, it’s very very niche but could possibly buy and sell with up to 500-1000% mark up on eBay. Think I might do it as a side hustle.Rob7Lee said:

I use T212 but not for my S+S ISA, just for small investments in shares, I'm not playing with a lot of money on shares so using my HL ISA just doesn't make sense as they charge like £10 p/trade.
I like the T212 app and interface, commissionless but obviously make their money through the buy/sell price spread, can trade in different exchanges etc (though I think the FX rate is another way they make money), and seem to have a pretty good choice of shares from what I can tell.

Yeah i notice their buy sell spread before, just looking to swing/position trade rather than any day trading. So those differences dont really matter to me. My S&S isa wont ever be more than £4k at this rate, and it'll eventually find its way to my LISA until i can buy a property.LonelyNorthernAddick said:I use T212 but not for my S+S ISA, just for small investments in shares, I'm not playing with a lot of money on shares so using my HL ISA just doesn't make sense as they charge like £10 p/trade.

Just put it straight in your LISA, the quicker you do the quicker you get the £1k bonus and start making money on that as well, no point waiting until the end of March.kentaddick said:

Investing in AIM I'm up overall and generally withdraw my initial investment once I'm in a decent profit. There's a lot of market manipulation in some of these shares. Not for the faint hearted. I'm not brave enough to invest much.Rob7Lee said:

Just been listening to a webinar from JP Morgan who had an eminent economist on. He was saying that inflation is set to rise further & thinks 5% is not out of the question. Interest rates will have to rise to combat it, but not as much as you would think as Central Bankers know that there is stil a lot of debt about and soaring interest rates could mean another recession.bobmunro said:Thoughts on interest rates?
