Guys,

I have a bit of spare cash at the end of the tax year and am looking for something unusual to invest in. While pondering this matter, my mind lit upon BYD; that Chinese company that seems to be making dirt-cheap 'leccy cars and which may have a big and bright future. Reasons not to buy are several; not least that The Omaha Sage has significantly trimmed his position although not exited altogether.

But this leads on to the how? How does one buy shares in this company? I can see the tracker on Google Finance (https://www.google.com/finance/quote/002594:SHE?window=1Y) and I can see the markets it's traded in but how do I access those markets?

Thanks!

I bought some a while back through Interactive Investor in my SIPP, not my best investment so far but we'll see!

I’ve just put in a very small amount. Seems an interesting buy.

if you've got a 2+ year time horizon, could be argued that TSLA has massively much more upside; yep stock been beaten down, but when (ok if, but i think when) the other parts of its business truly ramp up, folks will realise they're not a car company! Seems 'the Street' hasn't figured out yet about the energy,'bots, or the other internal business lines they have.

Indeed - not the same but check out Fisker’s share price for some industry news…

No need, I bought about £1k in Rivian a couple of years ago 😂

Not a great deal of money in terms of the ISA value but it’s certainly an eye opener of how they’ve dropped (or more accurately plummeted).

If you want to invest in renewables, how about the mining companies that dig all the heavy metals and semiconductors out of the ground to make them?
