Buying shares in Superdry, J D Wetherspoon and Boohoo. All three lost me about £2k combined. I don’t know much about the fast fashion industry, and the purchase of Spoons’ shares was because I thought the hospitality industry was going to go through a post-COVID bounceback.

Second to that, investing in a few startups via Seedrs/Republic (crowd equity platform) that eventually folded. One was a dating app that only ever managed to get a few thousand users. One was a digital painting tagging company that seemed sus in the first place. Another was DeadHappy, a life insurance broker that lost all its business after running an offensive ad campaign referencing notorious British serial killer Harold Shipman.
