"HSBC Adjusts Netflix Price Target to $113 From $114, Maintains Buy Rating". Wonder how much research went into this LMAO

PPI at 0.5% vs expected 1.1% is a massive downside miss that flips the inflation narrative we've been tracking. Last week I posted that PPI at 4.0% would make April CPI ugly - but 0.5% monthly is much cooler than expected. The dollar declining + HSBC refusing to chase it + Trump floating new talks = the risk-on setup for anyone selling dollar-denominated options. Rate-sensitive sectors (REITs, utilities, bonds) should benefit if this PPI read holds into CPI.

>HSBC Group’s CEO, Georges Elhedery, just broke down why end buyers of oil are facing prices *way* above what traders see on their screens. >“What worries me is not the headlines. I mean, oil headline is above $100, $110. Realistically, if you are now trying to get oil from the Middle East, you may be paying $140, $150. Realistically, if you try to get oil from the Red Sea, you are paying more than $30, $40 for shipping. Insurance costs, which used to be 25 basis points, is more like 5%, and war insurance has been scrapped — you’re paying 5% without even the war insurance component. So the barrel of oil door to door or the barrel of refined oil door to door is way above the headline price of oil. The highest I’ve seen, and I’m hoping we don’t see more of that, **but the highest I’ve seen is $286 for a barrel of oil that reached Sri Lanka**. This is not a country and an economy that can easily afford these kind of prices sustainably.”

Hi, well done! Welcome to investing. So. Two tips 1. Open a stocks and shares ISA account with a platform that offers a wide range of assets...Iweb/ AJ Bell / NatWest or Royal London / Monzo! 2. Funds/ Assets - loads to choose from, to get started you can pick a pre selected set - nothing wrong with that. 3 - return. You want to think about annual  return % - if you are not remotely curious, and don't really want to get under the bonnet of the stock market - 10% annualised return (64% over 5 years) might suit you. I. Which case one of the 5 big trackers HSBC, I Shares ..might work for you. However. If you are interested and want to really know what you are buying, you might want to look at different funds or even a % of individual stocks. There are loads of models around to help. Mainquiteq bit of guidance...don't take too long deciding. I like emerging markets, equities and gold and individual stocks... everyone is different.

You can find most of this info under holdings for ETF Indices. If you want foreign (non US stocks) you need a World ex US ETF otherwise World plus US is gonna be dominated by US stocks. $VXUS and $EWY are 2 of my top 5 holdings. $VXUS (World ex US) Top 10 Holdings (11.80% of Total Assets) [](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/2330.TW/) Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited**3.43%** [](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/005930.KS/) Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.**1.59%** [](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/ASML.AS/) ASML Holding N.V.**1.29%** [](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/0700.HK/) Tencent Holdings Limited**0.92%** [](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/000660.KS/) SK hynix Inc.**0.91%** [](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/ROG/) Rogers Corporation**0.76%** [](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/9988.HK/) Alibaba Group Holding Limited**0.73%** [](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NOVN.SW/) Novartis AG**0.73%** [](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/HSBA.L/) HSBC Holdings plc**0.73%** [](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AZN.L/) AstraZeneca PLC**0.71%**

The exact same things I planned on buying this year - European financials + MUFG & HSBC, index funds and some defence+related companies

Finance_Guy297

Both track basically the same thing, so the fee difference is what actually important. The Vanguard FTSE Global All Cap, and the HSBC FTSE All-World are both globally diversified index funds, with thousands of holdings across developed and emerging markets. There actually is one main difference between the 2 and basically is that Vanguard's includes small caps, HSBC's not. But very honestly for a first pension investment that distinction is not that important. There actually is not a right or wrong choice here. The drop you're seeing on the HSBC chart is the same drop happening pretty much everywhere else right now. Definitely not a fund-specific problem, unfortunately it's just the market at the moment. Both funds dropped because the companies that they "hold" dropped too. Also to be fair from my pov trying to pick a good entry point is almost always a losing game. If your horizon is 20-30 years, which could be plausible for a pension fund, the entry price of today doesn't actually matter much compared to how consistently you will be able to contribute over time. Markets spend a huge amount of time near or at all-time highs, and waiting for the "right" moment usually means missing months of recovery. For a SIPP specifically, I would just pick one, set up a regular contribution, and let it run. The HSBC one has a lower ongoing charge, and that compounds in your favor over a long period of time like 20 years plus. That's probably the deciding factor if everything else is the same.

Yeah, and Lily got wrecked this week because the HSBC guy said it should be 850. People panic sold and it went from 1000 to 900.

WinstonSalemSmith

It's purely speculation. Institutions trade precious metals based on market trends such as interest rates. Individual investors hold these assets as a long term hedge. The major investment banks like Goldman or HSBC. have commodities desk dedicated to trading, moving millions of USD daily. I am not saying zero retail investors sold, I am addressing general market behavior.

DB is not very much exposed to EMs, at least not compared to Standard Chartered, HSBC, Santander, BBVA…

This is how analyst Rajesh kumar made HSBC billions #Eli Lilly HSBC Analyst Rajesh Kumar dropped a bomb at the opening bell about Eli Lilly which resulted in Eli Lilly to drop 5 percent today. This is really nothing but a staged approached by HSBC to profit by manipulating the market. This same Analysts had 6 months ago reiterated buy rating on Eli Lilly Stocks. More interestingly, HSBC has huge put on Eli Lilly stock bought just in Q3. if you go to HSBC holdings on Finviz website, you can clearly see their holdings. They also have call options which they will load up with F12 filings soon as soon as tomorrow under the radar. Eli Lilly stock has more value than any analyst can imagine. Eli Lilly's integration with NVDIA to build a AI powered drug discovery will change everything. Imagine drug discovery that was not possible for decades will happen within weeks. Eli Lilly's stock after todays drop are a bargain. do your own research before believing my take on Eli Lilly stock and analyst manipulating stock.

[https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1rpsbhf/comment/o9p2aie/](https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1rpsbhf/comment/o9p2aie/) I'm down 10% on my HSBC position and looking for stable sponsors to offset the loss.

PrinceAdelin

Bonds are still a fixed known interest return and if you hold to maturity you don't lose value. IMPORTANT  Bond FUNDS are not the same as real bonds and as they are funds or ETFs they bear market risk and price risk and so they have equity style risks. Many people lose money on Bond funds and can't understand why because they think they are safe. Be cautious with Bond funds they are misleading and you could be better off investing in a moderate dividend stable equity stock like Coca Cola, Chevron, HSBC or a high dividend S&P index fund which are safer than most bond funds, including treasury bond funds

Useful_Recognition52

I can give it a try, but computershare told me that HSBC holdings are actually handled by the Canada branch. I’m gonna try that number anyway because it’s not one of the ones I’ve called. Not hopeful though

TernTheNumbers

I agree. That's why it crashed so hard after the fake pump over the weekend: Iran can still export to China. HSBC just said they're "maximum" bullish on stocks and that the oil price scare is completely over.

MaybeTheDoctor

HSBC is one of the largest banking corporations - how many share are we talking about?

VoidMageZero

Go ahead and buy HSBC, it looks good!

x992607

Please dissuade me from buying $HSBC.

muoncatalysis

Note that HSBC has had stock splits, the last possibly in 1999 (6:1 ratio if google can be trusted). Dividends should also have been accruing, check with investor relations, CS or other contacts suggested above regarding where they have been mailed or deposited!

ClaritXai

Those old paper certificates can still represent real shares, so it’s definitely worth checking. First step would be verifying the company and certificate details with HSBC’s investor relations or their transfer agent. If the shares are still valid, they can usually be reissued electronically or transferred through a brokerage once ownership is confirmed. Since the shares are in the name of someone deceased, the heir will likely need documentation (estate papers or proof of inheritance) to complete the transfer. It can take a bit of paperwork, but certificates from that era sometimes end up being worth a lot more than people expect.

No_Philosopher_1870

If there was no response to the letters where the previous owner was told to do something, the company may have marked it as unclaimed property, sold it after a certain period of time, and sent the money to the state. If HSBC put the shares into an account instead, the previous owner should have been getting a 1099-DIV annually whoever held the shares. Where it gets confusing is that the Computershare that manages the shares is [computershare.co.uk](http://computershare.co.uk) , and you need the US agent, which appears to be BNY Mellon for the ADRs, also called ADSs for American Depository Shares. [https://www.hsbc.com/investors/investor-contacts](https://www.hsbc.com/investors/investor-contacts)

No_Philosopher_1870

That is why I recommended that you look at unclaimed property for the state where the previous owner of the stock lived. it's possible that if the letters did not receive a response, it was cashed in and sent to that state's treasury. It can take a long time for the company to cash in the shares. I got a share or two of a company later bought by Cargill. It took 25 years for the stock to be sold and given to the state. You may have a certificate for the American Depository Receipts (ADRs) of HSBC. If so, it will be marked on the certificate. ADRs are a common way for stock of companies headquartered outside of the United States to be sold in the US. Each ADR may have a value different from one share.

fallingdowndizzyvr

Relocating doesn't change whether the existing stock is still valid. That's literally just moving. Now restructuring can invalidate it. Since that's one of the reasons to restructure. But HSBC never went bankrupt. It just moved.

fallingdowndizzyvr

> a company called HSBC That was the biggest bank in Hong Kong. When there was a Hong Kong. It's the **H**ong Kong **S**hanghai **B**anking **C**orporation. They relocated to the UK right before HK fell.

No_Philosopher_1870

Another possibility is looking at the unclaimed property website for the state where the owner lived. [Missingmoney.com](http://Missingmoney.com) lists the unclaimed property of many states or you can at the unclaimed property lists of different states. The website for unclaimed property is are usually listed at department of revenue or office of the comptroller of the state of interest where he resided. **Steps to Convert Physical Certificates:** 1. **Locate Certificates:** Ensure you have the original, signed share certificates. 2. **Contact Computershare:** Contact HSBC’s registrar, Computershare, to obtain the necessary "deposit" or "transfer" forms. 3. **Complete Documentation:** Fill out the transfer form, ensuring all owner names and details match the certificate exactly. 4. **Mail Certificates:** Send the physical certificates and completed forms via secure, registered mail to the address provided by the registrar. 5. **Confirmation:** Once processed, your shares will appear in your "Investor Centre" account electronically.

I'm dropping a comment I read earlier in another sub, because it seems pertinent: > If you wanted to design a company that would be the first to crack in an AI downturn, you'd build something that looks a lot like CoreWeave. > > $29 billion in total liabilities. $9.7 billion due within 12 months. Interest expense of $311 million in Q3 alone, nearly triple the year-ago figure. Five-year CDS spreads above 640 basis points. The market-implied default probability over five years: 42%. > > The business model is straightforward: borrow money, buy NVIDIA GPUs in bulk, install them in data centers, lease compute back. When demand is high and rising, this prints money. When demand flattens, you're sitting on $29 billion in debt backed by hardware that's already lost 50-70% of its rental value and depreciates on an 18-month cycle whether you like it or not. > > IPO'd at $40 in March 2025. Hit $187 by June. Crashed 46% in November after Q3 earnings showed widening losses and delivery delays. Morgan Stanley downgraded it February 21, citing execution concerns. HSBC maintains Reduce with a $41 target, estimating a $9.8 billion liquidity shortfall this year. DA Davidson wrote that the equity "may ultimately lose all its value since the entire value of the enterprise is owned by debt holders." That's not me being dramatic. That's a sell-side analyst. > > And CoreWeave matters beyond CoreWeave. Its debt has been packaged into asset-backed securities and sold to institutional investors. The hyperscalers raised a record $108 billion in debt in 2025, more than 3x the nine-year average. AI-linked firms now make up 14% of the investment-grade bond index. Data center ABS hit $13.3 billion across 27 transactions in 2025, up 55% YoY. BofA says hyperscalers need 94% of operating cash flow to fund AI buildouts. Ninety-four percent. That's why they're all turning to debt markets.

How is it distributed? Do you own ETFs like HSBC NASDAQ Global Semiconductor?

Antestor01

12 % HSBC NASDAQ Global Semiconductor ETF 10 % iShares AI Infrastructure ETF 10 % ASML 8 % TSMC 6 % Alphabet 6 % Amazon 6 % Microsoft Total: 58 % As you can tell I'm a big believer that long term, the compute need on the planet will only continue to go up. If you wanna maximize gains yet minimize risk, I highly recommend the mentioned Global Semiconductor ETF. The only reason why my ASML and TSMC positions are so big is because they grew over time and I don't want to trim then right now, since I would need to pay a lot of taxes.

baldneenja

With respect Im not recommending anything but will tell you my broad etfs: 1. xtrackers MSCI EM eurpoe middle east africa (XMXD)- was up 45% last year 2. HSBC emerging markets (HIES)- dont let the islamic screened put you off it just means they dont invest in alcohol and gambling or whatever else theyre not into- was up nearly 60% last year 3. vanguard developed asia pacific ex japan (VDPG)- was up 54% last year Im gonna let it ride and evaluate in 6 months. There is an etf ishares MSCI world ex-USA (XUSE) that was up 22% last year if you dont fancy the markets Ive put money in. If steered away from latin america although they were up 54% last year, only because it makes me nervous for some reason. Im from the UK so i think i should have maybe put 10% in the ftse 100 - they were up 27% last year but that was due mostly to the banks. Theres likely to be interest rates cuts here this year so that will probably slow down momentum

yawnzilla36

I'm not rising to this weird Grandpa bait. They are. Oh, and HSBC too. Pretty cool isn't it? You can Google it the next time you need something to shake your fist at. Have a good one.

maffoobristol

People in America are on the whole, unsurprisingly, very bullish on America. If you listen to any of the Goldman Sachs podcasts they seem to all be like "well yeah obviously US is number one". But then you look at the performance of the rest of the world and to me it makes sense to have other things. I'm in the UK - my portfolio has always been pretty US tech heavy but over the past couple of years I've been moving far more into local stocks, European banks, and broad market vanguard funds. In my ISA I currently have 50% all world and 50% developed Europe, since the all world is already very America heavy, and my normal stocks account is very America heavy. All in all I'm about 60% America which is the same as the all world. So, yes. 😝 tldr. I'd personally recommend big European banks which are already very global and also have high dividend returns, such as HSBC. But of course all that is already included in the all world.

BarryBurkman

I was roasted for this a year ago. IBM and Google. I’m up significant on both buying in 18 months ago. Also…. BANKING. Some bans are using quantum to improve efficiencies and forecast better. I’m up 40 percent on HSBC!

Antestor01

This guy fucks. Same from my side, go for a Semiconductor ETF. I personally really like the HSBC Nasdaq Global Semiconductor USD. Biggest positions are TSMC, Nvidia, ASML, AMD, Broadcom, SK Hynix, Micron, LAM Research.

Definitelyhereforshi

Banks like HSBC, metal miners, uranium names gave very rich returns over the past year or so. I couldn't imagine believing the jobs numbers, reports about inflation being down, and a booming economy 😂.

Greed kills; DYOR forever. But GRAN's rebounding: Up to $2.80, tiny float 4.71M for volatility, mcap \~$69M undervalued. Bullish Inverted Hammer Feb 9 at $2.63—reversal signal.

Today has been a good day so far. Rotated a couple of my riskier bets (with profits, hurray) to safer havens like CAT and HSBC. I have a fairly diverse portfolio but the last few days reminded me to shore some things up. Was nice.

They have been spending a little bit. 2 trillion a fair bit, it is the same number as the total earnings of all Private sector workers in the US in one quarter. At roughly $50 billion per site, OpenAI’s Stargate projects add up to about $850 billion in spending — nearly half of the $2 trillion global AI infrastructure surge HSBC now forecasts.

HSBC upgrades Palantir to Buy from Hold and raises its price target to $205 from $197, even as the stock drops nearly 10% in Wednesday morning trading.....yeah ok lololololol

Alone-Supermarket-98

JPM and HSBC have been choking on large short positions in silver from much lower levels. They pressured the CME to raise margin requirements on both silver and gold on the COMEX to squeeze out leveraged paper positions in the metals.

Usual_Retard_6859

Engineered crash. Sure it could be coincidence that -LME had crashed that day -HSBC crashed -margin requirements increased by comex -Shanghai market (physical delivery) was closed -JPM closed all shorts at the bottom after retail was margined on their leveraged positions -a notable premium still trades on the physical market vs the 350:1 paper comex

Huge_Pair_140

It’s a lot more complicated than just supply and demand and people selling their silver. Silver is a very easy commodity to manipulate and there’s 90,000 contracts short to 43,000 long. HSBC and citi need silver to reach the low 70s to civet their shorts watch if that happens you now know the game is rigged so what can you do with that info? Follow the institutions specifically jpmc. They get fines fur manipulating the market on silver but it’s not greater than the profits they make so they still do it.

_TheGoogz

Had to force paper silver trades to close because they definitely didn't have supply for the IOU's. London exchange goes does, HSBC goes down, COMEX increases margin, and Fed pick announced same day? Lol, please. It was about to collapse so they had to rig the game. Bottom in though, JPM bought 3 million ounces on the drop.

AngryGranny1992

Under normal regulations, a 10% drop should trigger a circuit breaker in the market for previous metals. However, instead of halting trade, the CME raised silver margins from 11% to 15% during the crash. This is like pouring gasoline on a fire and it forced everyone on margin to sell instantly, right as the but buttons were not working, but the sell buttons were still working.. The fact that the physical metal in the East stayed at $120 proves that the Western drop to $70 was a synthetic hit designed to wipe out the $38 billion in SLV options that were ITM. A staggering $70.52 million in silver-linked long positions was liquidated in just four hours on Friday. Furthermore, an astonishing 99% of these liquidations were Long positions. This means the "dip-buyers" who bought at $100 and $90 were systematically hunted and forced to sell as the price hit $70. Lastly, despite the price crash, institutional holdings in the SLV Trust actually increased this week. Why would the nomination of Warsh, a fan of precious metals, lead to a crash in precious metals? Nothing to do with those facing huge losses shorting the metal seeking to crash the price to offload their puts? How come there were " technical glitches" at LBMA and Comex on the last trading day of the month and at HSBC in HK, with buy buttons shut off, all on the same day? How come markets were not suspended on Friday at a 10% drop? How come paper price crashed during Western markets, even though Shanghai physical silver closed at $120?

jbjhill

Don’t know. They poached some gold traders from HSBC and started in on this. My guess would be they’re going to do a coin tethered to gold. But these guys often don’t see second or third order of effects, so don’t be surprised if they fuck this up.

pawnografik

Holy shit. This analysis you shared was right on the money. > Retail investors, long squeezed by paper manipulation, now benefit from a more transparent price discovery as the reversal of JP Morgan’s long bias could accelerate a feedback loop of rising spot prices, margin calls on lingering shorts from peers like HSBC and UBS, and a broader flight to hard assets amid geopolitical & inflationary fears stoked by the Fed’s resumption of QE. It was published a month ago. What does he say now? When do we sell?

mistiquefog

And then someone realized that buyers bought more and now they will face the once in a lifetime short squeeze on gold and silver contracts I bet HSBC is going bankrupt

Crazy_Donkies

HSBC projecting MU profits of $12b, or $10.60 eps for MU for Q2. 4 quarters of that times 13 for forward 20 for trailing, is $551 to $848. Hoping MU is $551 by April.

ButterPotatoHead

Buy blue chip international stocks that aren't caught up in the AI / tech hype train. They can be hard to find because 98% of the headlines are the same. LVMH, Mitsubishi, banks like Royal Bank of Canada, Paribas, and HSBC, Halmas, Eurofins, Nubank, Rolls Royce, there are a bunch of them if you look. If you look further you can find conglomerates and funds that have had solid long term growth and are in non-US markets like Industrivarden AB, Addtech, etc. I personally am a fan of nuclear resurgence and there are engineering and tech firms around the world involved in that industry that are good buys. Stay away from the speculation like OKLO. Starting about 9 months ago I moved about 10% of my money (which is now about 15%), I bought them in their local currencies (yen, GBP, Euro, etc) so I have a combination of growth and a hedge against US and USD.

Mr-Lungu

I do find it interesting that HSBC and JP Morgan are phoning their clients and telling them to offload their gold and silver. Because we know these banks are exposed if the price goes up. To me this is a buy signal lol

OnlyGaiModsBanMe

Real money launderers use HSBC

kelpyg72

Sorry I quickly responded, I meant trading as in export and imports of goods. You are incorrect to pin the yen carry trade as the reason for intervention. Bessent has repeatedly called for a weaker dollar and they could care less about select HF's who still decide to carry trade, the core carry trade has been dead for months especially regarding equities. (Weaker dollar further kills this trade) The Fed wants to make sure US exports are strong in Japan and vice versa. This is a trade intervention not for financial stability. We have a very complex but necessary trade relationship with Japan that means currencies can't disconnect too far. I work in S&T so I hear from our banks economists every morning. News of the HSBC rate check spread to every BD within 30mins.

labowner85

Brother trading system issue that you’re talking about is what I explained above. Large volumes of sell treasury and dollar trades are what exactly causing the rate to rise in the US and exactly why US is discussing rate check with HSBC. US/JPY exchange rate has mostly been stable for years with minor fluctuations which allowed for the yen carry trade to exist but the current fluctuations with Yen rising against dollar tells you that trades are selling dollars and buying yen. You are taking about what people are doing to fix the situation and I’m sharing what is causing the situation. For more details you can read a detailed article at Economist from couple of weeks back.

kelpyg72

Incorrect. The yen carry trade has been dead for months. Currency risk kills the trade. This trade does not work when the USD/JPY is volatile as it cuts available leverage. In addition to USD/JPY going down killing this trade asap. This current Yen issue is because of how large the US and Japanese trading system is. It's critical to both counties, which is why the fed called HSBC for a rate check last week, signalling potential intervention. Last rate check was the Euro debt crisis.

I honestly don't get what people like you expected from Intel's earning. my background, I am a Chartered Accountant, I audit and / or write Annual Report for a living. Intel does have a lot of growth, it still command a 80% plus laptop market CPU, that is 4 times more than AMD, Apple and Qualcomm combine. They might have a very large marketing team, so they are not that profitable, but they sell CPU like pancakes, while AMD is sell like an old lady. Intel made laptop is some of the most preferred amongst Business and Government, is become a habit and they don't look at anything but Intel (even they are also X86 like AMD), let give you an example of a senior accountant working in the Australian Government (my ex-boss), he would love to have the 5G surface laptop, he knows that I am a CISA (with [B.Sc](http://B.Sc) Comp Sci) as well, so he asked me what do you think, I then say it is ARM, and he just like OIC sorry no no then. I met hundreds (if not thousands) of accountant out there, they are the one controlling your company CAPEX budget (CFO, FC and alike), and guess what if you walk into a COSTCO today, you see AS400, you walk into a bank like HSBC and ANZ, you see AS400, this is an area that backward compatibility, and if that is the company I work for and the marketing lady ask me nicely can I have a MAC, I will say NO, Windows Intel Laptop just work as good, this is not 1980, Adobe work great if not better in Windows and not MAC, I do want to re-purpose the machine after useful life, I can't do it with a MAC or it is NO. As accountant, I know a lot of them can't leave Intel / X86, things like SAP ECC, they still want it even SAP is punishing them for keeping it, they just ask a bigger budget and stay on ECC, just like they stay on with AS400. period. How many PC Gamers buys in total, and how many PC will company like PwC (professional service), ZF (big but not listed) ... S&P 500 will buy in total, sorry, no growth ha ha. that is a joke. Therefore for people out there, please understand I don't think Intel needed an external customer for foundry, Let just give you an Example, do SK Hynix, Micron, Texas Instruments have foundry customer, I did not see any, with a 80% laptop market alone will have a much higher Die Area output then any of the 3 companies I listed up there and they don't have external customer for their foundries. So why Intel needed an external foundry to survive ??? Do you think SK Hynix CAPEX is less than TSMC, no no no this is joking. The CEOs after Paul until Pat is bad, they drove the company down, but Pat was really great the Panther Lake, 18A, Clearwater Forest ... perform is what his vision. I think what Intel did to him is very unfair, including Larrabee.

US banks JPM 14.2% BAC 14% USB 20% PNC 15% Truist 11.2% Goldman 47% Meanwhile in the UK: Barclays 61% Lloyds 94% HSBC 74% Nowhere did I say there was correlation. I simply said many British stocks did better than the S&P. In fact, I’d argue the opposite, which is the point. Astrazeneca 39%,Shell, Rio Tinto, tobacco companies, it wasn’t only bank stocks that had a good showing in the FTSE 100, smh.

AstraZeneca, HSBC, HSBC, Shell, Linde, Arm, BAT, Rio Tinto, Rolls Royce, GSK. The fact that they’re not always in the headlines is partly why they are so successful. They just do their thing in the background making billions of pounds in boring ways.

Even for individuals they can close your account at will if they don't like your spending patterns and deem it risky. Happened to me with HSBC while they were under scrutiny. I deposited 1500$ cash (rent deposit) and they closed my account soon after (was a Premier customer) stating risk.

A quick Google AI excerpt to get you started: Several major banks have faced significant fines and legal penalties for **manipulating the precious metals markets**, including silver, typically through illegal trading practices like "spoofing" or rigging benchmark prices. The fines are generally for market manipulation rather than simply holding a "short position".  Here are the banks that have been fined for manipulation related to silver and other precious metals: * **JPMorgan Chase**: In 2020, the bank paid a record-setting **$920 million** criminal fine, restitution, and disgorgement for engaging in a multi-year scheme to manipulate the precious metals and Treasury futures markets through spoofing (placing large orders with the intent to quickly cancel them). * **Bank of Nova Scotia (Scotiabank)**: The bank reached a settlement in 2020 involving a criminal penalty of **$127.5 million** for engaging in a long-running scheme by four of its traders to manipulate precious metals futures markets, including silver. * **Deutsche Bank**: As part of various settlements between 2016 and 2021 related to rigging the London Silver Fix benchmark and spoofing, Deutsche Bank paid approximately **$75.5 million** in fines and settlements. The bank provided "smoking gun" evidence implicating other institutions as part of its cooperation. * **HSBC**: The bank faced fines totaling around **$76.6 million** for spoofing and inadequate surveillance controls in precious metals markets in settlements in 2018 and 2023. * **Bank of America Merrill Lynch**: In 2019, the bank paid over **$25 million** in civil penalties, restitution, and disgorgement for thousands of fraudulent precious metals futures orders. * **UBS**: The Swiss bank settled charges related to precious metals spoofing in 2018 and paid a fine for surveillance failures in 2025, with total penalties around **$20 million** for this conduct. * **Morgan Stanley**: The bank received a **$1.5 million** civil penalty from the CFTC for spoofing in the precious metals futures market in 2019.  I mean as you can see it's not an isolated case, it was pretty much industry standard to manipulate it, primarily downwards, for financial gain. The penalties they paid were a fraction of what they made so generally good business. However if you really want to go down the rabbit hole start at the beginning, with the Crime of 1873 where the US coinage act basically stripped silver from the people. It's been a cascade of shit from that point forward, the 1913 Federal reserve act being another major milestone. but this ventures far outside the realm of WSB so I'll leave it there.

So... HSBC say buy NFLX 🚀

Finance-UK

Buy 1 Disney share and put the rest into HSBC FTSE All World. When Disney stock underperforms the HSBC Fund you can use it as a lesson that 90% of stock pickers underperform over a 10-year period. That lesson will save him serious $$$ over an investing lifetime.

Portfoliana

Honestly for a 7 year old just add more to the HSBC Global All World - its already diversified and way less risky than picking a single stock. Individual companies can go to zero, a global index cant. If you really want a single stock for the “birthday present” feeling, pick something the kid can understand and relate to - Disney, Nintendo, Apple, whatever. Makes it more fun for them to “own” a piece of something they actualy know. But between us, the all world index will almost certainly outperform whatever single stock you pick over a 10+ year horizon. The boring choice is usualy the right one lol.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I just buy HSBC shares with the money. Paying dividends and growing in price. Risky but the return is more than 4%

Snuffaluff_jgb

I'm down on my HSBC puts. We have the same prognosis, though I heard JPM is net long silver now

IntelligenzMachine

A lot of the old boring UK/EU companies steadily print money at cheap valuations. It is basically Warren Buffett territory. HSBC 17 P/E, 50% gain last year, 5% dividend yield, slow and steady Asian expansion.

Funnily enough banks outperformed the market in 2025 but nobody talks about them as they are stable and 'boring'. They are growing like growth stocks with big dividends. Barclays was 25% last year for me and only started in September! HSBC also well up. They outperformed Amazon, Meta, AMD, Nebius, Alphabet etc. Only Rocketlab for me was better

Economy-Prune-8600

I’m up 24% Actually a little surprised since I have a significant amount of my portfolio is BRK.B. Thank you BBVA. I also bought the dip and that helped. In the new year I’m looking at HSBC, SAB, maybe MOH. I buy and hold. I do a little selling for tax loss harvesting

I have quite a large exposure to managed funds (100% equity ones) for various reasons. I have a tracker that compares how my pension would be performing if instead id gone 100% HSBC FTSE All World (which itself does make up 25% of my pension). My pension as a whole is significantly outperforming the All World currently. My issue with all world is if you take out the mag7, returns would be awful- and I personally believe those are massively overvalued and due a correction. After that correction/ once Trump leaves (all world is 65+% USA), I will likely go 80% all world again. just my 2c, but active managed is doing me very well right now and I use them only situationally.

HSBC is banking, Rio Tinto is mining. Your Bond investing is bad bad bad for a young person. NO idea what your definition of high dividends is. My idea of high dividend yield is 10% or higher, hIs idea of high dividends is bad bad bad, because high dividends cannot be sustained and will probably be cut. If the idea is buying a dividend yield stock of 3-4% ok, that is defensive. The easy button is to invest in an Stock Market Index Fund. It will be diversified, it will pay dividends. You yourself said you do not want to stare at numbers every day, set it and forget it.

I have a couple of HSBC puts, wouldn't mind it being them :)

JPMorgan Chase, HSBC, Scotiabank, UBS, and ICBC Standard Bank are the major "bullion banks" dominating precious metals.

texaspunisher1836

I don’t think it’s JP Morgan. I’m thinking Bank of America perhaps. I don’t think it would be HSBC. Of course I’m only speculating. I have zero to base this on. If we saw $34 billion repo over the weekend, after $17 billion repo on Friday, I would say it’s a big bank. That’s $51 billion in 72 hours. Let’s see how high repo goes on Monday. One of the big banks gets left holding the bag. Which one will it be? I would like to be a fly on the wall at a commodity bankers desk right now. They can’t be sleeping well tonight. They should be at stage 3 bubble gut by now. They should pack extra clothes for work. They have some baaaad days ahead. To the bankers, don’t jump! It’s ok! You’re going to be ok. It’s going to be ok. Just keep telling yourself that. Breathe deep. Clench those butt checks. You know it’s going to be explosive if you don’t stay clenched. Breathe!

Buckle up folks: There isn’t enough Silver to unwind JP Morgan’s short position without driving silver prices insanely high. If that happens then…… Industry estimates suggest eight major bullion banks (JP Morgan, Citibank, HSBC, Scotiabank, UBS, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank) collectively hold 400-600 million ounce commercial short position, meaning if JP Morgan's 200 million ounce position created $4.8 billion loss, total industry losses approach $10-15 billion across all institutions, with additional contagion risk through CME Group default fund of only $2.5 billion insufficient to cover JP Morgan failure requiring assessments from other clearing members already facing their own silver losses creating cascading insolvency risk.

HSBC has outperformed the main US indexes over the past 5 years but the rest have done worse. So 1 time out of 5 he did well. Statistically that's going to happen, it's not a sign that he's an investing genius, pretty much the opposite. But yes, sitting on low performing bonds is a good way to effectively lose money over time. 3.5% is somewhere around what inflation's been; you may have even effectively lost money.

Bullion banks such as JPMorgan Chase, UBS, HSBC, and Goldman Sachs hold dominant sway in silver futures on COMEX, often building massive net short positions. What are they doing now?

ShineCompetitive3377

Your grandad’s advice isn’t *bad*, but it’s very **context-dependent**. High-dividend stocks like **HSBC**, **Aviva**, **Rio Tinto**, **SSE** and **IG Group** make sense for someone retired who wants income and watches the portfolio closely. That doesn’t automatically make them ideal for someone saving for a house in \~5 years. For a house deposit, capital preservation matters a lot. Going heavy into individual stocks adds volatility right when you’ll *need* the money. Premium bonds + some equity exposure is boring, but boring works for short/medium-term goals. Also, avoiding indexes because of “slow growth” is a bit outdated — broad indexes have beaten most stock pickers over time, especially for people who don’t want to monitor markets daily. A mix of safer assets plus low-cost index funds usually fits your situation better than copying a retiree’s dividend portfolio.

How many jobs does this guy want? Last month he was a contender to head HSBC. Since stepping down as an MP, he was editor of the London Evening Standard for three years, then a partner in some merger advisory firm.

Since when has a doj investigation done squat in this country. Didn't happen with Microsoft in the 90s, not gonna happen with unh now, didn't happen with Google... Even when it "happens" (i.e. an action and resolution) it just means a payoff, look at HSBC and the cartels in the 2010s, or the cigarette settlement of the 90s.

Micron (MU) ended 2025 with a 47% year over year revenue increase. They also crushed their Q4 earnings. Stock target price was raised to \~$300 by USB and Citi Group and to $330 by HSBC and Morgan Stanley.

I think many people just want to believe that the markets will act rational eventually. Pumping billions into companies that make no money and whose product is always getting a cheaper chinese copy within 6 months doesn't make any sense. Also the only hope to become profitable for a company like OpenAI is to make the product a lot worse for the consumer, (add a ton of ads, product placements or a expensive subscription) which will then lead to consumers using the chinese clone that was trained on ChatGPT for a fraction of the cost. HSBC thinks OpenAI will need 200 billion USD the next few years and the CFO already started talking about government bailouts. AI is definetly a technology that will stay, but we're all using the internet and there still was a .com crash.

According to recent estimates from HSBC Global Investment Research, OpenAI will need to raise about $207 billion by 2030 just to support its projected compute-capacity and cloud-rental commitments. If they can't cover it internally, they'll do external financing via an IPO, issue additional shares and/or raise debt As long as investors are willing to hand money to OpenAI, they will be ok

RasenMeow

It is just an estimation from HSBC, but....https://fortune.com/2025/11/26/is-openai-profitable-forecast-data-center-200-billion-shortfall-hsbc/ Even if they are facoting in upcoming products and services, this won't change the fundamentals. They are heavily investing in Opex, not Capex. Opex = Money gone, no Opex = company offline.

Ok_Cry7572

HSBC built a model to figure out if OpenAI can actually pay for all the compute it's contracted HSBC assumes OpenAI reaches 3 billion users by 2030, which is 44% of the world's adult population outside China. They assume 10% become paying customers, up from 5% now. They assume OpenAI captures 2% of digital advertising. They assume enterprise AI generates $386 billion annually. Even with all those assumptions going right, OpenAI still can't pay its bills. The best case scenario HSBC can model still leaves a $207 billion hole. Their suggested solution is that OpenAI might need to "walk away from data center commitments" and hope the big players show "flexibility" because "less capacity would always be better than a liquidity crisis." That's a polite way of saying the business model doesn't work and everyone involved might need to pretend the contracts don't exist. This is the company anchoring a $500 billion Stargate project and driving hundreds of billions in infrastructure spending across the industry.

OpenAI is a money pit with a website on top. That much we know already, but since OpenAI is a private company, there’s a lot of guesswork required when estimating the depth of the pit. HSBC’s US software and services team has today updated its OpenAI model to include the company’s $250bn rental of cloud compute from Microsoft, announced late in October, and its $38bn rental of cloud compute from Amazon announced less than a week later. The latest two deals add an extra four gigawatts of compute power to OpenAI’s requirements, bringing the contracted amount to 36 gigawatts. Based on a total cumulative deal value of up to $1.8tn, OpenAI is heading for a data centre rental bill of about $620bn a year — though only a third of the contracted power is expected to be online by the end of this decade.
