Looking at buying some Rolls-Royce stock but I got no clue how much I need to put in.
Right now they are pretty low for what I can see so it’s a good time to buy but how much s a decent amount.
Would $1000 do much or would that just be pointless.
I want to get into the energy industry such as gas, hydrogen and carbon capture technologies such as sunfire and terrestrial energy.
 
Hi Muckman, with Commsec minimum is $500 and up to$1000 commission is $10, then $20 up to $10,000 and then it is a percentage.
The "would $1000 do much or would that just be pointless" all depends on what strategy you intend to deploy.
 
Don’t have a strategy per say. I just have a personal interest in the company and I’d like to have some part of it. It at the same time I don’t want to be growing my money away for no reason.
 
$1000 in Amazon or Tesla or plenty of others
early enough and your a genius.

It only takes ONE!

Friend of mine bought DVT now not listed for 6c 100000 of them
They went to $7.80 from memory and he sold them on the way down for
$3.96. Bought a house!!!

Son bought 30 Tesla at $200 now worth $45K
So did I at (30) $7.80 ish now pretty well doubled.

Not suggesting any reason why I think they would go up but any investment in aviation industry would be good idear right being that it’s at an all time low? Like they will be flying pretty soon.
But my interest is not in the aviation sector but that would be bonus pay off if I’m right ?

IMV I would be far more cautious about investing in the aviation industry. I honestly can't see international flights, tourism, mass travel getting back to the previous levels while COVID is still on the table. Just my thoughts.
Also another analayis of Rolls Royce's future. More detail here.

Companies go bankrupt. Depends on what happens and how their business is split, and is run. Many people have lost the lot in a company - even companies that have been around for over 100 years......
Assume nothing.
 
Highly doubt Rolls-Royce is going bankrupt lol
In fact I beleqve in 2022 they are going to be in high demand in certain sectors not just aviation and automotive.

Maybe. Bigger companies have gone down in better circumstances. IN various industries. Enron springs to mind - accounting fraud if I recall correctly. And it affected/killed PG&E.

Assume nothing.
 
Never say Can't go any lower.
IMO they do, but in this case who knows.
Can you see a sign that they have bottomed or know some info to support that.
If so it could be a good buy.
Some people wait for some kind of reversal sign and see it start to rise,then buy, missing the absolute bottom but getting most of the rise.
 
hi muckman, there's a few ways to approach this. When i read through the thread it reminded me of a few cheap buys i had over the years, HIH insurance and great southern plantations are 2 that come to mind. (they don't exist anymore). beware confirmation bias..(Highly doubt Rolls royce will go bankrupt lol) just because you think some thing is so, doesn't make it correct.
If i were to give advice on this, id say have a crack at dollar cost averaging. smaller amounts invested over a time span will level things out, the added bonus is you can watch how things play out. I'm doing with it SVL and ADN at the moment. If i had just plonked all my funds at once into both when i had bought initially, I'd be up more on SVL (12.5c now 27.5c) and blown a motza on ADN(6.2c now 4.8c). because i averaged out my investments, i'm ahead on both. hope this makes sense to you
 
For info (off the top of my head):
Rolls Royce has already gone broke in the 70's, the result being Rolls Royce does not make cars.
BMW make cars and put RR badges on them under a quasi licence arrangement that basically does not involve RR actually doing anything (and RR no longer owns the flying lady nor the grille).
VW now own Bentley.

Anything can go broke.
