>U.S. promised security to Ukraine if they gave up their nukes No, it didn't. Now go ahead and use your google-fu, and provide the text you think states that the US gave security guarantees so I can then read it back to you and break it down barney-style why that isn't the case, otherwise the UK would have to be providing boots on the ground right now. Europe is NEVER prepared. Now matter how many warnings they get, now matter how many times they're told to get their shit together, they do nothing until the last second, and only after the US has done all of the heavy lifting for them. We've been having the same goddamned conversation since the 80s, and nothing has changed, because they firmly believed they are owed American protection. Fuck off.

You are wrong, they’re all playing hot potato with the same 500bn and Nvidia is the ring leader because OpenAI has a valuation of like 2-3 trillion dollars it would need to achieve per year to justify its cost.. and frankly the entire situation was marked for death form the moment DeepSeek hit because the truth of all of this is that American big tech isn’t falling behind because of their tech, they’re falling behind because China doesn’t suspend their economy off selling our data and surveillance so they don’t need to control the algorithm to appease stock holders who’re now at odds with the public .. I’m personally booting Graphene to a pixel because all of these companies are fundamentally preventing innovation and Alphabet X Meta have had their time so I wouldn’t die on these hills because VK alone shits on Facebook and they’re coming for YouTube I assume to catch all the under 16s from digital ID in the UK here and there, then there’s the Vine revival to challenge TikTok which wants to have an overall AI content ban .. So I’m personally ignoring all of em considering the better question to me is will MIT finish their nuclear fusion artificial sun like China and achieve the second sole source that could probably power the entire country for nearly nothing and who has a contract to use it .. I know Microsoft will be first.

Bro the US is actually on the better end of debt to gdp simply because our gdp is so explosive. I believe the UK is like 218% or something, the difference is they don’t hold a ton of US debt relative to everybody else

gagagagaNope

Yep. Co-pay is the way. Embed personal responsibility. For UK socialists, it's the only area where they don't claim the EU is miles better than the UK. Much of europe has immeasurably better outcomes, often at much lower cost. For them the only two healthcare models are the NHS or an uninsured person in the USA.

The UK/Canada model is pretty shit.  The Bismarck model used in other parts of Europe is a better model.  It's been a long time since I researched the particulars, so I might be incorrect but Germany, Japan, and the Netherlands follow that model and it goes well. 

MirthandMystery

And one thing never talked about is how the great Covid crash of 2020 happened months after the building crisis of 0% interest (payout) rates where banks didn't want your cash and certainly didn't want to pay you anything for holding it. It was a huge pressure building in EU and UK too where banks were losing money holding cash, unsustainable and a freakish situation. It's all they talked about in Dec and Jan into early Feb. The FED wouldn't raise rates and kept lowing them, creating a 'perfect storm' conditions. I still wonder if a small otherwise manageable covid crisis was somewhat manufactured and amplified into a large one given we were on the brink of major economic dislocations naturally. Something had to give, it was crazy the amount of cash and debt floating around. Mohammad El Arian called the black swan saying in late Feb 2020 any lasting global shut down due to lockdowns and employers losing workers, would result in supply chain mayhem, creating real problems and inflation due to scarcity and unreliability of shipped goods that our economy relied on, and other countries. The silence from the pros listening to him was deafening, and I got chills. He was dead right. There was no way to avoid what was coming. Stocks began selling off that week. That we were able to get back to higher interest rates was a near miracle. Such crazy system it requires it, which hurts regular consumers. Trump just wants us back to 0-1% again since it helps his own huge loan costs. He'll never use his own grift-gotten and fake crypto cash to pay down debt.

Thanks for this, its helpful to have your honest views on this and certainly food for thought. It's actually REALLY interesting. So I'm actually from Jersey 🇯🇪 You mentioned it is BVI company HQ in Jersey. Weshop was purchased by a HNW in Jersey from the UK hence mind and management here. It's a BVI company, but many private wealth vehicles (which this was) were historically setup in BVI which is quite common, so not as fishy as it might seem. So not a SPAC, but yes a Special Purpose Vehicle. The financials definitely don't make for good reading and blow ratios like P/E out of the water, but have to be read in the context that this basically a capital hungry VC start up over the past few years whilst trying to IPO. Heavy on marketing (athletes / influencers etc) in the early years for brand awareness and acceptance. I've been watching it for a few years (as I said above I've been USING the app). So I think its unfair to call it an insiders dumping scheme, but I can see why you might say that. The 12 month share maturity time-frame is to stop users making purchases, getting shares, then returning goods / receiving refunds. Which might better explain that aspect. Thanks for looking into it. One thing I dont understand, is who's buying into it? At that price... Surely its the anticipated growth that is priced in there? They are looking to launch in the US, so perhaps that's the thinking?

makesbadlattes

For any pennystock look at the 5m chart for entrypoints. KALA looked oversold at like 12:40-13:00 UK time so I bought in, sold as it was going up abnormally fast. If you bought in right now and it suddenly dropped back to 1.1 you'd be down a lot so idk tread carefully.

TheReplyingDutchman

UK has shorter average wait times. Canada is the only OECD country with longer average wait times in healthcare than the US.

gagagagaNope

In purely medical costs, the UK number will be far from zero. Not all healthcare is 'free'. In addition, we have thousands who go bankrupt because the NHS is dire in many circumstances - terrible quality of service, poor outcomes, years-long waiting lists. Those waiting lists alone are worse than the US situation because most people are unable to access alternatives. Treatment delayed for 2 years is no different to no treatment during thaat period, and you often have zero idea of when it may arrive. The thing he doesn't realise, is when you make something 'free', the demand becomes infinite.

I’m not “hyping” up anything, you can check any of my posts all I’ve done is post links that lead to objective news. The WSJ articles from the past, Bloomberg, and these articles are literally from the Puerto Rican government’s website. I also sat down and literally just explained why the hell their short term debt ballooned to $6 billion in layman’s terms for you. I’ve also laid out the risk that the UK court proceedings could lead to equity dilutions… not sure what else you want from me. You can read all of this in the 10Q that NFE released pretty recently.

> completely ignores the role that the US has played - for better or worse - in the world since WWII. A lot of what the US has done abroad since WWII hasn’t exactly been admirable (I was only going to mention 3 but then got carried away with all the middle-eastern stuff): Vietnam was about containing communism and showing commitment to Cold War allies. The price paid by Vietnam was mass civilian death, destroyed farmland, displacement and long term chemical contamination. Iran in 1953 was about keeping control of oil and blocking perceived Soviet influence. The side effect was removing an elected leader and propping up a dictatorship that eventually collapsed into a revolution that still shapes the region today. And we really have enjoyed fucking with the middle east in general, the US supported Mujahideen fighters against the Soviet occupation, funnelling money and weapons into groups that framed the conflict in religious terms. After the Soviets left and the country collapsed into civil war, the Taliban emerged from those same networks. The original motive was Cold War strategy, but the long term result was a highly conservative religious government. From that perspective, we setup september the 11th against ourselves. Libya too. During the late 60s and early 70s, the US and UK supported the monarchy because it kept oil stable and Western aligned. That government had almost no legitimacy at home and fell in 1969 in a coup led by Gaddafi, who positioned himself as an anti Western nationalist. He ran a weak government that left room for Islamist groups to gain influence simply because they had the networks and cohesion that the dismantled state no longer had and once again, US involvement turns a country into a conservative religious terror factory. Iraq was sold as disarming weapons of mass destruction and reshaping the Middle East. Reesult: state collapse, sectarian bloodshed, mass civilian casualties and the rise of groups like ISIS. Drone strike campaigns were about hitting terrorist targets without risking US soldiers. In practice they often killed civilians, stoked fear and resentment and *fed* extremist recruitment. Chile in 1973 was about stopping a socialist government from aligning with the USSR and keeping a market friendly system in place. The outcome was a military dictatorship that carried out torture, executions and extreme repression for years. US foreign policy fucing *sucks* historically, it's all focused on idiotic short term thinking and manipulation for financial gain, scaling that shit back can only be a good thing.

No Bernie, you are wrong. In the UK an individual might not go bankrupt but the NHS is a key reason why the nation is. And the radical left won’t admit it nor will they allow a sensible dialogue around reforming the NHS.

How the hell does Venezuela “disrupts the region”? That country is nothing. This whole Guyana dispute is nothing. Venezuela doesn’t have the resources much les military to enforce anything. It’s a poor decrepit country with ZERO influence in the region. But it has the largest untapped oil reserves on earth. But I’m sure the main reason for every war started by a Republican admin in the last 40 years has nothing to do with that fact. Also the US didn’t get oil concessions from Kuwait?! The Kuwait Oil Company is owned by Chevron. Kuwait oil IS OWNED by the US (and UK’s BP). Jesus Christ. Shut the fuck up.

So here's the problem, the reason why these guys were on the bring of bankruptcy as Phebre said is because all their debt became immediately due at once The reason why they had a sudden upsurge from almost no short term debt to $6 B in short term debt is because they broke a debt covenant and when that happens all the debt becomes immediately due at once since all the lenders want their money back immediately (maybe not as people, but the contracts you sign on when you take on the debt makes it so that all the lenders can immediately ask for all their money back) In reality all this debt is long term and was originally due 2029 onwards, when the broke the debt covenants it became due immediately by 2026, which put them on the verge of bankruptcy If they can negotiate out of this through the UK court proceedings then the company is on good footing again and then on top of that they have this use lifeline from this deal

Yeah, this and we have to wait and see how the upcoming catalysts, UK debt restructuring court proceedings and the Brazil Energy Auction Markets in Q1 of 2026, play out I think the even bigger risk rn is the sort of dilution that will be announced for equity shareholders after the UK court proceedings But on Monday and throughout the upcoming week we'll definitely see a spike, the question is will they kill of the pump, and if so, will it be through shareholder dilution?

ProGrieferHere

Okay. Doubling your 10k is a dream. I would also stay away from the Stock Market and the popular assets like Real Estate. Personally, if I was in your position, I would take a serious look at what your full 30K can do if you were to use it to purchase a Belong Limited 7.5% Bond. It's a UK bond due to pay out in 2030. You can Google it. I would definitely ask your financial advisor about this bond, but it looks like this would be your best growth opportunity in the timeframe you are looking for. Again .. ask you financial advisor about this bond. I'm not a financial advisor I'm just letting you know that this bond exists. :) This is not financial advice...

Diddly_eyed_Dipshite

Thanks, firstly not the UK, I'm EU and using T212. I'd rather not open up another platform account and prefer to keep everything together, but will keep looking for an ETF that suits to consolidate and reduce individual holdings. Appreciate the response, some suggestions I'm getting make it seem like I'm totally fucking myself over and it'll be the ruin of me financially. I'm not expecting to beat the market long term by holding these stocks, but I'm the short term, yeah I would think that by next year at least half of those tech names I will be able to trim profits and add that cash straight into the ETF. I'm not greedy or expecting 10 baggers but in the short term (1,2,3 yrs) AI, semiconductors, data centre infrastructure will return greater gains than the market rate and I want to capture some of that.

DoinIt4DaShorteez

You could probably do some consolidation amongst your 20 short-medium term low conviction Tech & Other stocks just for convenience, but I don't see anything wrong per se with having that many, or your overall plan in general. If you can't buy any US ETFs like QQQ I would probably use a different platfrom, but I don't know anything about UK platforms or rules.

CCCX is merging with Infleqtion, NVDA partnered quantum compute + sensing leader. Selling Quantum RF sensors, inertia/gravity sensors, and atomic timers to the US DoD, NASA, Japan, UK, etc. Infleqtion’s revenue is second only to IONQ, at 1/5 the valuation. They also sell quantum computers, and set the commercial record for physical qubits at 1600. The world record being 6400 set by Cal Tech using Infleqtion’s neutral atom glass core. Same seed investors as Palantir and Anduril, while playing a big role in national security. We need to stay competitive with china on quantum sensing——Palantir of quantum anyone?? Same guy that did OKLO merger, and that stock 15x’d with zero revenue. As a founding partner of NVDA NVQLink, Jenson Huang has said himself that Infleqtion’s QPUs will layer on top of the GPU CPU AI datacenter architecture. Sundar Pichai has just said that quantum is accelerating on the same level as AI 5 years ago. When the merger finalizes the CCCX ticker will change to INFQ, and I think this stock will be $100+ easy. It could even surpass IONQ when people realize trapped ions may not scale as well as IONQ’s CEO promises. Neutral Atoms are extremely promising and will dominate quantum sensing, and potentially quantum computing as well. CCCX to $100+

According to recent news, New Fortress Energy (NFE) received tentative approval for a $3.2 billion deal to supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Puerto Rico. The deal is subject to conditions, including revising the tolling term sheet and developing "competitive open port access" to facilities. This news comes amid ongoing financial difficulties for the company, which is exploring debt restructuring options in the UK as an alternative to Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the US.

You might want to look at EURO STOXX indices ETFs which track companies from Eurozone countries specifically. SPDR EURO STOXX 50 ETF (FEZ) or iShares Core MSCI Eurozone ETF (HEZU) both focus on EU countries and exclude the UK. The Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (VGK) is popular but does include UK stocks (about 20%), so it's not purely EU. The iShares MSCI Eurozone ETF (EZU) is probably the closest to what you're seeking - it's focused specifically on EU member states that use the Euro.

Given you're maxing out your ISA, yes, most UK investors with additional funds typically use a General Investment Account (GIA) and accept the tax implications. Remember you still get a £12,300 Capital Gains Tax allowance annually, so you can realize gains up to this amount tax-free each year. Consider tax-efficient harvesting - selling investments strategically to utilize your CGT allowance. For higher earners, SIPPs are worth exploring for the tax relief, though money is locked until 55. r/UKPersonalFinance or r/FIREUK might give you more UK-specific advice as most folks here are US-based.

The CEO says he will diversify their products besides doing EVs from now. That's why the share jumped by 10% today. I read the company's anual report in December 2024 and was going to invest but I decided against it because it only has a few clients that make up for its revenues. Jaguar is one of them. Jaguar recently had to be rescued by the UK government. I think I will start buying the dip.

Here’s some DD for you regard bitches: CCCX is merging with Infleqtion. Quantum sensing + compute leader. Quantum RF receivers, quantum inertia gravity sensors, quantum atomic timing, and quantum computers with 1600 physical qubits, a commercial record. Cal tech achieved the world record 6400 physical qubits using Infleqtion’s glass cores. Neutral atoms is the most scalable modality of quantum computing, and is a serious contender in the quantum race. Second most revenue in quantum behind only IONQ. They sell quantum hardware and sensors to the US DoD, NASA, Japan, UK, and more. Partnered with NVDA as a founding partner of NVDA NVQLink. As Jenson Huang revealed at NVDA GTC, Infleqtion QPUs will be layered on top of the GPU-CPU AI datacenter stack to solve the most complex problems that exist. Backed by same seed investor as Palantir and Anduril. Same person that did the spac merger for OKLO. When the merger is complete, the CCCX ticker will change to INFQ. Once that happens INFQ will be on par with IONQ IMO. Right now it is valued less than half of Rigetti (lmao). It is undervalued currently due to the pre merger status.

Hello, Im looking for some opinions on my 6 years UK Junior SIPP and Junior ISA. They both have about 9k in them. As parents we have no debt apart from a mortgage at 2.2% for 4 more years. With the time frames involved i have a fairly high tolerence for risk. I see the JISA as being for a bit of fun stuff and then a house deposit probably not tuition fees unless the terms become much worse. Plus my own Lifetime ISA should have about £120k in by that point if needed. I'd welcome views on whether what i am doing seems sensible overall - and then thoughts on the actual funds spread which started a bit random but i have been trying to stream line. Going forward I plan to put at least 1200/ year (all the child benefit) into the JISA \- maybe another 500-1000 added in a good year. \- currently into a pretty high risk JPMORGAN Fund just changed from Nutmeg I- considering whether to move it to self investment platform but would welcome thoughts about funds - I have 9000 in the J SIPP through Fidelity - slightly random share allocation, i got a bit carried away like in a pick and mix shop, though i have tried to streamline it and consider market sperad. I am also aware that i am a bit concentrated on USA through Legal and general Global tracker and VUAG - should i pick one with all the worries about the AI bubble. I am planning to try and reach the 2880 limit each year in this account so he doesn't end up getting access to a big chunk of money as a student if i put everything into the JISA i know he could technically cash in his pension before time but it feels more locked away than the JISA.

If you want to stay strictly in the EU something like the iShares Core EURO STOXX 50 UCITS ETF (IE00B53L3W79) is probably your best bet. Personally, I also like the STOXX Europe 600 (LU0328475792) because you get 200 Large-, 200 Mid-, and 200 Smallcaps in one basket. However, there you'll have a sizeable chunk of UK and Swiss companies in the mix as well. So, if you want to stay strictly EU it is either the STOXX 50 or you're willing to look into newer and significantly smaller ETFs like WisdomTree Eurozone Quality Dividend Growth UCITS ETF (IE00BZ56TQ67). The crux with the STOXX 50 is, it isn't a index for the largest companies of the European Union, but the largest companies of the Eurozone. Also, because it only tracks the biggest 50 companies there usually are only companies from 7-10 different countries represented at any given time (France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Spain + some Nordic and Belgian stocks that shuffle in and out of the index depending on market cap).

IndubitablyNerdy

Europeans citizens and institutions also invest a lot in USA financial markets, If i remember well I checked some papers about market capitalization a few months ago and the estimate was that that European investors hold an equivalent of roughly 60% of the capitalization of all EU+UK exchanges combined in USA stocks. This, combined with the fact that the USA is the EU largest trade partner by far (and that we also have a ton of usa trasuries in our financial institutions balace sheets) mean that our markets are very much affected by what happens in Wall Street even without considering the political influence that Washington has on the West.

Hey regards, here is some DD for you to chew on. In-Q-Tel is the investment arm of the CIA, they invested early into PLTR and Anduril, IONQ, but they also invested early into Infleqtion (CCCX, soon to be INFQ) Infleqtion sells Quantum RF Receivers to the US Army, Air Force, and Navy. They sell Quantum Inertia Sensors and Atomic Clocks to NASA. The also sell Quantum Computers to Japan, UK, and research institutions. They are the quantum company with second highest revenue, behind only IONQ. Their quantum computer has achieved 1600 physical qubits. Computing + Sensing + Software means they're a full stack quantum company. Oh yeah, and they're partnered with NVDA, as well as a founding partner of NVQLink--Jenson Huang's pet Quantum project, where QPUs will be layered on top of the GPU-CPU AI Datacenter stack in the near future to solve out most complex problems. CCCX basically dumped almost all the way back down to NAV, so currently has limited downside, unlimited upside. CCCX is $3.6 B market cap. RGTI is $8.6 B market cap. IONQ is $16.6 B market cap. Once the merger finalizes as INFQ (dec-jan) you can best believe this is going to rip higher.

It’s really only native English speakers too. They never think about what it means or what they’re saying. I’ve also noticed that people in the UK like to write insane run-on sentences, and their punctuation and grammar is worse than Americans’.

AI answer I got seemed indicate for corporate income tax in the UK it works with the amoritzation which would match my understanding of international corporate accountong rules. But for individuals they don't have the amortization concept. And for gilts specifically the capital losses are disallowed so no way to recover if held to maturity. Maybe a UK tax expert or accountant could confirm if a workaround for this would be selling them a month before maturity.

That's interesting. So there is amortisation for the premium. I do noynlnownif in the UK it works in the same way.

Bonds don't pay dividends, they pay coupons. It's likely that bond pays a 6% coupon. I suspect that's a 30 year gilt from 1998 - that's the last time the UK was issuing coupons that high. To calculate yield accurately, you will incorporate the accrued interest. Nobody would sell you the bond now without being compensated for their share of the coupon from 7th June to today. If I mathed good, that's about 3.881% yield, which seems reasonable given that the current 2 year gilt yield is 3.75%. I'm not really sure about the rest of your question because I have no idea about your tax situation. As I understand, UK government gilts held by UK people aren't subject to capital gains tax, which means you can't deduct capital losses due to buying bonds at a premium either. UK and USA bonds have the same interest rate risk - it's determined solely by the duration of the bond. A UK and USA bond of the same duration will have the same interest rate risk. As a broad comment, I don't really think there's much point to buying short term bonds - the math is complicated, and you're going to get basically equivalent return as a simple high interest savings account.

Why can’t they be more honest about it. You ask ppl in the UK what they think bout their city/ town 90% of the time the answer is “shithole”

OpeDefinitely

In the US, we jail more people per capita than any country. But we do it in the name of freedom. The UK could never.

Just globally diversify, and you won't have to worry about the periods where Europe or other continents outperform the US. We've seen Japan as the superstar, UK, EU, Canada, but still mostly, the US as the superstars for interesting over certain periods. What has lead over the long long term, even ahead of US, has been globally diversified investing.

NVDA is valued at 4.44 trillion dollar, and needs to grow at 50% to sustain shares at current level. For example, in comparison, entire India's economy with 1.5 billion people is $4.13 trillion. Germany about 5 trillion. UK 3.7 trillion. NVDA may have near monopoly for its chips, buy it can't continue for ever. Google, AMD, and others will eventually catch up. Or the costs will becomes so high that its consumers will simply move on.

They got 3 on contract to the UK and are currently talking to the Czech republic for 6. I would count that as 3 are basically in escrow to the UK with 6 more likely to follow suit soon.
