Investments and Crypto šŸ’°

I don’t think it used to display like that, from comments I’ve seen online, they’re trying to make CFDs more prominent.

I’m not sure making them display as the second line in every share search is inconspicuous but that’s just my personal view.

I’m not sure it would be worse to display them at the end but I don’t use CFDs, so having them later in the list wouldn’t impact me.

It’s virtually 50/50 whether a stock price goes up or down over an hourly time period, so this is not what I’m looking at.

Realistically, the money I’m putting in today is likely to stay invested for 20-30 years. I’m topping it up monthly by direct debit and not looking at short term fluctuations.

There’s no downside to live pricing and I’d take it if offered, but it’s pretty much of zero value to most long term investors.

I agree with this, I like to check at the end of the day and sometimes me and a guy in the office will joke with one another about how our stocks are tanking or rallying. But in reality I’m more interested to know how the investment performs maybe daily, weekly or monthly. So I can compare against more solvent finds in EA savings accounts etc.

It seems Trading 212 have reversed some of the changes previously made. I know they got a lot of negativity over the changes but personally I preferred them. I don’t like what they’ve revert to.

I hated how they hid investments in a vertical sliding element over the top of an already vertically scrolling page. Made no sense unless you have pages and page of Investments, which I would wager the vast majority of user do not.

So I’m very glad to see that reverted.

My app still looks the same.

Have you updated it? From the store?

I just wish they would stop changing it.

Just updated mine in the App Store and it’s still the new design.

Yup, it updated earlier, same app as it was.

Not sure then, mine was displaying the newer layout, I updated it and it switched back to the old layout.

Klarna IPO has gone well so far. I think this does show the cracks in the BNPL world.

That’s Klarna’s whole model though, whilst Monzo does offers BNPL through Flex I’d like to think people think of Monzo as more than just another Klarna
