βDay 1 of new account...
Current portfolio: Β£58,478
βDown over Β£5,100 (-9%) this past month, but the eyes are firmly on the prize.
The goal is a Β£1M+ tax-free ISA in 5-10 years, and I think Β£100k isn't too far away.
βHere is how a 35y/o UK investor got here... π (1/2)
Wow what an awesome community! Already up at nearly 250 follwers after setting up a few days ago.
Thanks to everyone for the support. I am so glad I set up a dedicated account. Literally talk about stocks all day π π so it made sense to set up an account to document my ramblings π€£π€£
@katehooperx 100%, keep going @katehooperx πͺ
There will always be someone with more even at 7/8 figures.. you'll have more saved/ invested than at least 50% of all brits/ Americans etc, so that is something to celebrate.
@PDMCC24 Yeah got a few red positions in portfolio. Plus to swing from -25% is not bad at all.
I honestly had moments at break even where I thought should I just get out?
So glad I stuck to my guns!
May 2025.
Peak tariffs were hitting, the portfolio was absolutely in the mud, and I had a horrible sinking feeling in my stomach every single day.
βLosing over Β£7,500 on a single position hurts, no matter how much you back your thesis.

It went red for months. It felt relentless.
βBut instead of panicking and cutting losses at the bottom, I stayed convicted.
I looked at the fundamentals, ignored the noise, and kept adding to my positions on the way down.

Fast forward to June 2026.
That exact same portfolio is now 3x bigger πππ
If you can't handle the red months, you won't be around to see the green years.
Stay convicted. π
