I am advocating to use a fund that it is automatically following the FTSE100 or FTSE250 (in my case), but i also like to allocate a small percentage to some individual choices.
What i would like lately?
Let's see.
Kansai Paint - a Japanese company who invented an odorless paint containing mosquito repellent insecticide (see Zyka crisis this year).
Teladoc - telemedicine - remote healthcare
Dexcom - sensors attached to the skin to monitor blood sugar level in real time - great help for diabetics.
Alibaba and Amazon - as they will evolve even more in something we had never seen before.
Samsung Electronics, Tencent and Line - house assistants market will be big in the next years.
Alphabet (GOOGLE's parent company)
Apple
Geely
Tesla
Toyota
Those last companies are trying to improve the autonomous car, which will become a reality very soon.
Did you know that in 1900 28.5% of the cars in US where electric cars?

You need to learn about how to not get hacked and be prepared for a brave new world.
Enjoy the rest of your day!

FI feelings
I got a temporary income source that will provide me monthly with a sum bigger than my actual wages, completely passive. A short term Financial Independence, i could say. And despite my romantic view on the far away goal of Financial Independence, with a mystical feeling of "I did it!", nothing changed. I am the same, i do the same things. Sometimes the journey is more important than the goal. The things that i learn will provide for me anytime, anywhere.

Cryptocurrency corner
As i was mentioning in some past posts, there are many opportunities with bitcoin and his alt-coins. Any other digital coin except bitcoin it is called an alt-coin. The ones worth trading right now are bitcoin, ethereum and litecoin.
The main option to make a profit are:
1. Day trading, as they are very volatile. If you plan to become a day trader, be vary of the fees charged by your exchange. I am using Coinbase to store the biggest amount of the digital currency, because i can send money from and into it using my bank account, and also because they have the vault option, where you can protect your coins from a hacking attack. But there are other options too, even if they lack some of the choices offered by the exchange mentioned before.
2. Mining - can be solo-mining, using your computer (which it is not efficient anymore because of the increased difficulty of the block-chain) or dedicated equipment (such as Ant-Miner S9). The second option is pool-mining, where more individuals join together and share the benefits and the risks. The last option is the cloud-mining, where you buy mining power from somebody else, in exchange of an amount of money (which can include the rent, the daily maintenance fee or the transaction fee). Most of the contracts offered today are slightly over or under the money paid for mining, and they can be for life (meaning they run as long as the company is getting some profit) or for 1-2 years. You can find online calculators to check their return on investment. But there are always alternatives, and you can make your own mining farm if you have a room available, and some solar panels or a eolian windmill to get free electricity, just to give an example.
3. Faucets - but this is only to experiment with the cryptocurrencies, as we are talking about a small amount. I was talking about this here.
My idea is to redirect the profit obtained from cryptocurrency to classical ways as shares, Ratesetter P2P lending and TheHouseCrowd real estate crowd-funding, to name a few options.
