I just want to know what kind of academics can afford to pay you!Set myself a weird challenge in March/April of completing academic surveys in my spare time rather than doing other meaningless stuff like swiping social media or watching crap TV.
I’ve accumulated roughly $60 a month since April time and invested it entirely into Tesla of which I’m currently up just under 30%
I’ll not touch this money til 2030 (can’t see myself keeping up this challenge though, it’s mind numbingly boring).

Took 3 grand out and had a month off work. More important things than money sometimes.
Sound thanks mate. How are you?Hope you're doing well mate.

Getting a ~£37 dividend on a £50 investment in a start up next week after some cloak and daggers.
We got sent a shareholder update at the start of December that went something like "Heyyy everything's great, revenue's up. The media said some bad things but ignore them, anyway here's a share buyback offer you should accept". This was sent a few minutes AFTER an email containing the buy back DocuSign, and included minutes of a "board meeting" at which the CEO was the only attendee.
People kicked up a fuss on the Crowdcube forum and not only did it not make any sense, but Crowdcube are the shareholder nominee so he's not even allowed to make direct offers like that. CrowdCube said they'd look into it and a week later we get told we're all getting dividends.

Whilst I'm here, another new thing I'm doing on the side of bank switches and academic surveys to funnel money into consistent monthly investments:
Roamler
Small amounts of money can be made completing mystery shopper tasks. In Coventry so far this has been taking pictures of products in places like Tesco, uploading it and answering a few questions. Seen one today where you turn up at Coombe Abbey hotel, order a pint of Mahou and take a picture of it before you drink it for a few quid (They also refund cost of the pint). I looked like a bit of a pest taking pictures of feminine products yesterday but earnt £3 whilst doing my usual weekly shop.
I aim to earn £50 a month on academic surveys. As for Roamler, I’ve only just started so I’ll see if I can provide a roundup next month having used it whilst working a full time job. I get a lot of these ideas from the “beermoney” Reddit forum.Hoping this isn’t too personal a question, how much are you able to earn a month using this?
Cannot beat the long term strategy and markets and the benefits of compounding, my grandad when I was starting work at 16 lectured me about Pensions and joining straight away and if you get a pay rise, try to keep most but increase your pension by 0.5% of the pay award, many years I haven't had a pay award but followed the advice and the fund is incredible now, the only thing I wish I had done earlier was ISA's so the pension could keep on growing whilst you draw down the ISA money first and the governments ever changing pension rules but I am a spender so I always wanted it in my pension where I couldn't touch it until 55. Just got to get to and be alive at 55 nowFour years to the day. Still currently deposit £250 a month without roundups

Just having a look at Trading 212. What's the best option for someone who won't be following the ups and downs of individual companies. The stocks and shares ISA, one of their pre-made pies? Any recommendations?
Obviously only putting a small amount in to test the water but figured this was a better option than dumping some cash in my Bet365 account for the upcoming season!
Did anyone take a punt on this?Has anyone looked at Pepe Unchained?

Not a stocks expert but am a tech nerd and if the question is were major labs like OAI, MS, Meta, Google and chip makers like NVIDIA overpriced, the answer is probably yes. However does Deepseek mean they’re screwed? Not at all. Either it’s Chinese psyops and they’ll be fine or it’s not and they’ve found a way to train on less compute which means we can spend the compute on test time inference instead, which is very good for them.
My guess would be this is an over correction and we’ll see sticks rise again once we learn more. They might not need $500bn clusters to train, but they can still use them to run AI and most labs still think test time compute is the next frontier and train time compute had already pretty much hit a wall.
Ive got to say my gut is we won’t hit AGI and therefore the ludicrous profits with pure LLMs anyway, the question is will the likes of Google find the next big thing and will it require fuck tons of compute and the answer is probably.
