Yes. Return to Kingy. You clearly want a monarch, the UK has one ready and he's always properly groomed and not a shade of orange.
Nuclear war is one the putin's propagandas that has done well in the west. USA, France, germany, Spain, slightly in the UK too. Russia would do nothing, it is a paper tiger.
As someone from the UK who is currently watching our COVID fraud enquiry go nowhere, I doubt any of it will turn up.
Only $220M? Here in the UK we spent a few billion pounds on a excel spreadsheet from a company run by a friend of our ex-PM, David Cameron, and got it due to links to the current (ex) goverment of Boris Johnson.
u/Any-Love-6016 , looks a slow morning, what you watching / in? I saw your early morning (UK) post
By using this logic you could say betting on elections is investing because you can get a very solid analysis as to who's going to win. Everyone and their dog knew Labour would win the UK general election in 2024, so would betting on that be investing?
Good morning from the UK m’lord *doffs cap*
UK already implied it without saying it loud. They stated the attack to our Cyprus base was not done by Iran…. If it was not them, who was it UK?! Same thing with Turkiye attack They try to trigger them to get involved and accordingly they want them to activate article 5 so Nato can join too. There were also theories that Israel did 9/11 to force US into war. I thought that was a bit too much of a conspiracy but after seeing what they have been doing in few years, nothing would surprise me
Bro they just said it aint us and they are thanking the GCC for not providing their airspace.. UK is also saying the attacks on its base was not Iran as well .. Man it is crazy how things are going , can’t believe anything said by anyone
Investors from other countries have invested in the US because we have been the innovation center but also because of our stability. Despite admin changes, not much has been done to rock the markets. Now we have an admin that is encouraging innovators to go elsewhere and that routinely manipulates the market. China now has the innovation but investors have been skeptical of their stability since the gov manipulates the market by decree. Once China becomes more predictable, the US will have significant competition as far as being the number one economic engine and will probably cede the top position. We'll be more like the UK. I used to think this change was a couple of generations hence but now it appears it may happen much mire quickly if the current admin remains in power.

ETFs arent supported by Robinhood in the UK. IBKR does them, with a UK-based account. Tastytrade does them with a US-based account opened from the UK. IG Index used to do them with a port through to Tasty but they withdrew that last October, you can still do spreadbets or CFDs though. Out of the two main contenders, IBKR is UK-based with FSCS protection but is notoriously difficult to get approved for more complicated options strategies. Tastytrade is easier to get approved but is US-based so no protection for your deposits.
At least NATO seems to keep a firm stance. The UK is already sucking up by sending jets. Stay out of the EU, Brexit.
Robinhood UK does but it is SPX not SPY

> Mosaddegh committed election fraud There isn't a moral foundation worth exploring that would give the United States, UK or any other nation justification for utilizing subversive violence to overthrow a sovereign nation.

Just in the US, there are 60-70K new cases of Pancreatic Cancer per year, all in need of a solution. At a 100K price point (would be the cheapest option while also being the safest and most effective), that’s potentially 6B in annual revenue in the US alone, while the P/E could easily be 5-10X when actual revenue comes in. Add Japan where they just got approved, that’s another ~50K annual Pancreatic Cancer patients. Then add all other countries (and all other cancers, as it’s proven to be effective against all solid tumors and is already being practiced in the US, UK, Canada, Japan, Germany, Italy, France, Russia and more), and you get Billions in market cap for a company currently traded and half a Billion.

New longs (5-10yrs) I'm entering this month: **Yellow Cake** (LSE: YCA): A triuranium octoxide treasury. Triuranium octoxide (yellowcake) is both the most stable storage form for nuclear fuel potential and the immediate precursor to fuel refinement. **Fjord Defence Group** (OSLO: DFENS): A Norwegian niche defence scaler with significant interests in ballistics protection and naval armour. Portfolio aligns with Norwegian-Denmark-UK defence review aims amid substantial spending increases, especially on the GIUK gap. Probably not as good as Kongsberg for likelihood of return but growth potential is exceptional. **Terrestrial Energy** (NASDAQ: ISMR): The only publicly-traded producer of molten salt reactors for long-term nuclear energy storage. Molten salt is also used for solar power storage, but private operators (including DuBois) seem to have the market locked down. I'm not too confident in this one in itself, but take a 'rising tide lifts all boats' approach to the MS / MSR sector overall.
Container ship hit while transiting the Strait of Hormuz as per UK Maritime Operations. Calls.
You're missing my point; you need viewers to get capital 'P' power out of media. Rupert Murdoch's influence isn't that he owns a bunch of media companies, it's that if you're a conservative minded person in the United States, the UK, or Australia, you're probably in his media ecosystem, whose narrative he can shape. To give you an anti-example: Jeff Bezos bought a prominent newspaper and he's tried shaping it's editorial around his own beliefs. That hasn't worked. It's bled money, it's bled influence, and Jeff Bezos is no more powerful today for owning the Washington Post than he was beforehand. The power is in the viewership, and Ellison's proving at CBS that Fox-Lite channels will push left-leaners out without attracting the diehard right-leaners who're comfortable elsewhere.
I mean the age verification nonsense is making it super easy for any government to make a mass surveillance system that can document everything you've ever posted online, and put you on certain lists for your political views. Throw AI into that to tell the government who to go after based on the mass surveillance data and it gets even scarier. Something like this is literally already happening in the UK. Some people in the UK have reported getting the police to show up at their house for expressing anti-immigrant views on social media, and thanks to mandatory real ID on social media they knew exactly where to go to find those people.
One of my clients makes 200k each year in the UK as well How do I ask them can I have their babies 🤔?
I did. Up 14% UK 11% Europe vs 5.7% if I had stayed in spy Feeling 🤗 thanks for asking
Really loving rolls Royce lately, it’s a very secure and sound company with UK backing and a large cash float, Constant service agreements and SMR rollout in 2030 and nuclear upgrades across Great Britain into 2035. It would be an easy place to watch 10k grow comfortably, any drawdowns would just be buying opportunity’s. Safer in an ETF, as much upside? No.
Yes thanks. It changed in 1974 apparently. I’m still wearing flares and have a burnt -orange 3 piece suite :) Yes, a billion is now the same in the UK as the USA. Both countries use the "short scale," defining a billion as one thousand million (1,000,000,000). Although the UK traditionally used the "long scale" (one million million), it officially adopted the American, international definition in 1974.
It’s quite global… you see the Norwegian PM or the prince in the UK .. in bed with Israel.. it’s about money not just country. These sick fucks no know bounds. But I also agree with your sentiment about the US bias.
Probably wondering where all the US & UK subs are at
Looks like Portugal is allowing their bases to be used. Who is leading Spain’s govt? Is it a far left-winger who is aligned w/ Muslim extremists in a red-green alliance. We already know that Starmer and the Labor govt are too scared of their Muslim constituency and that the UK has so many Muslim extremists even the gulf states are concerned about it more than their own region.
At least it ain’t beans of toast. UK mfs need re-education camps.
Kraken Robotics Inc. has agreed to acquire UK-based Covelya Group Limited for C$615 million, paying C$480 million in cash and C$135 million in Kraken shares. The deal adds Covelya’s underwater technology businesses, including Sonardyne International, EIVA, Forcys, Wavefront Systems, Voyis Imaging, and Chelsea Technologies. Kraken said it expects to finance the cash portion with a C$150 million term credit facility and a C$350 million bought-deal public offering of subscription receipts priced at C$8.50 each, with closing targeted for the second quarter of 2026.

Thank you it wa similar to that - dont they have different number as billion in the USA - I get so used to so many USA guys on Reddit i forget when im in a UK sub lol
To hell with Spain UK next
This is my personal opinion, but I think for once we the spanish have a competent govt, at least in foreign affairs. When US, Israel and other EU countries say "peace" they don't actually mean it, but for whatever reason the spanish govt does. I also think Spain has been a small player in european politics in the last 100 years, which is why it hasnt been targeted for influece gain operations by Israel, and so it retains some independence as compared to other countries like UK or Germany which are honestly cucked by Israel at this point, pushing policies that almost no citizens support at the cost of huge PR loss, all just for Israel.
In the UK we already had protection for up to £85k per account and they still bailed out the banks. It wasn't the regular person they were protecting. It was big investment partners that were trading in CDOs and other derivatives. The derivatives market is huge and debt can get packaged into those type of investments. What Michael Burry discovered was as he put it "dog shit wrapped in cat shit" and that the entire central depository system is fraudulent. Look up Suzanne Trimbath's book "Naked, Short & Greedy"

u/AnselmoHatesFascists while you are right that the ability to reverse transactions would be "chaos", in many countries another mechanisms exists. In England (where I am), if you sell shares and then buy them back within 30 days, the tax authorities (HMRC - His Majesty's Revenues and Customs) treats it like the sale never happened. Here is a quick copy and paste of the UK approach: *Selling shares and buying them back immediately—often called "bed and breakfasting"—is generally treated by tax authorities (like HMRC in the UK) as if no sale occurred if done within 30 days. Specifically, in the UK, the "30-day rule" means the sale is matched against the same-day purchase or the next 30 days of purchases, rather than creating a taxable gain or loss, preventing tax avoidance.*

Also, "billions" has been bandied around more and more, so that it becomes meaningless When (here in the UK where £1 billion is £1,000,000,000) we get told that to refurb the houses of Parliament "estimates for a full restoration ranging from roughly £7 billion to over £39 billion you begin to wonder if each brick will be handmade in Silver It's deliberate im sure

Damn the entire world is dropping UK, EU, USA, Canada, Japan, Korea, Vietnam
Buy back the difference and bed and breakfast or is that only UK?
You're correct. He explains it's because the US economy drives the global economy. So if the S&P500 is negative you should be in bonds regardless of what ex-US is doing. This is almost always correct. E.g. if you're looking at macroeconomic recession indicators for EU countries it's actually more accurate to US macroeconomic data rather than from the EU country itself (I'm from the UK and it took a lot of convincing for me to come around to this!). It's obviously less likely to be correct for emerging markets. But he suggests not separating emerging markets as a separate fund because of it's volatility.
Might be thinking of the UK. In the US it’s a done deal when the sale is finalized. Money isn’t even liquid yet which is hilarious so I can’t move it until tomorrow.
I hate to say it but in the UK you would be fine (due to 30 day rule) - interesting point of difference. USA has the same rule as in UK but only applying to losses
I'm familiar with UK tax rules rather than the US, but surely it's not the end of the world because surely you've just reset your cost basis for the stock? If you buy $10,000 of the stock and it goes up to $30,000 and you sell then you're going to pay tax on $20,000 of gains. That's the same as buying at $10,000, selling at $20,000, paying tax on $10,000 of gains, rebuying for $20,000 and then holding to $30,000 to pay tax on another $10,000 of gains. Either way you've made a total of $20,000 of gains and you pay the same amount of capital gains tax. (In UK I think you can rebuy within 30 days, under the [section 104 holding rules](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/shares-and-capital-gains-tax-hs284-self-assessment-helpsheet/hs284-shares-and-capital-gains-tax-2021), but I'm not sure.)
Nat Gas contracts in Europe are fucking insane. 40% on the UK March contract, EU up to 48 trading at 30 a week ago. Energy independence is a must if you want to not get cucked by foreign wars
You’re looking at us futures probably Physically settled futures price differently in different markets. It was up to 48 Eur per Megawatt when it was 30 a week ago in Europe. UK contracts are up from 80 to 120 for march in the last two days. Looks like UK is up 40% on the day.
Does that include Patriot and THAAD systems? Israel also deployed the iron beam laser system 2025/26, and fighter jets can shoot down missiles, of which America has near 300 and I believe Israel has at least 200. Not to mention the UK and Greece have hardware in the region now. I honestly think if we can math this out, there's a good chance the US and Israeli militaries have mathed this out too.
This is a UK poll, who gives 2 shits!
I’m not arguing our job market was better, just explaining that “100k salary” is closer to 50k take home after all the things I listed, and then you use that 50k to pay your high interest forever loans and it’s more like 40k. The small percentage of Americans making over “100k” are certainly being paid marginally more than their UK equivalents, no argument there, it’s just not as stark a contrast as it’s made out to be.
They are by far the strongest sporstbook in US, and have had a terrible year in terms of setbacks, with UK taxes jumping, a failed India aquisition due to late changes in legislation, prediction markets and 2 more brand aquisitions. They ended their year announcing their investment in prediction markets, so it's only a matter of time before they aswell enter the market and compete on that front aswell. With all that, they still presented positive numbers, and numbers look healthy, just bellow investors expectations. Tbf I put them in my biggest bet for this year, I see them hugely undervalued, and if there is a sporstbook I believe will end the year on top in terms of performance, it's them.
Thanks Americans. Now my UK gas bills about to double because you voted in an orange fuckwit. Like life wasn't hard enough already.
To summarise the energy situation: 1) Strait formally closed. Either US claims of destroying all Iranian naval vessels is a lie, or a Revolutionary Guard commander misspoke and Kuwait is losing sailors to no-one. 2) Escalation between Israel, Hezbollah, Lebanon, and the UK make an eastern transport route equally dangerous, so consider the Eastern Mediterranean also closed to tankers too (it's only a matter of time). 3) Houthis yet to attack Red Sea shipping but commercial shipping lines (including MSC and Maersk) are rerouting anyway, adding an immediate 30-40% to logistical costs and causing critical supply chain delays comparable to the Evergreen situation. 4) Global LNG production slashed by one-fifth and transport by one-third after Qatar comes under attack. No definite time period for reopening. 5) US continues to be *unfathomably, bone-crushingly stupid* by using its missiles to support a non-existent popular uprising - targeting police stations, border posts, and broadcasters - instead of reopening the Strait or defending Gulf assets. Hand on heart, this is the dumbest policy I have ever seen or heard of, and I'm a historian who studied civil wars and worked in international development. tl;dr: massive consumer price hikes inbound as the Strait remains closed for two weeks or more; foreclosures, delinquencies, and consumer credit crises likely; no clear alternative to Hormuz foreseeable; general re-assessment of US security exposure in the Gulf, likely to effect critical tenders and licenses; cash-strapped tanker companies are screwed (hence RBNE's dilution - it was smart to have that on-hand, so at least management's on the ball), and real-terms CPI inflation and agflation nearing 15%.
Well... a lot of US states are 2nd or 3rd level poor. Overall the EU has higher purchasing power across. Overall EU has better purchasing power, better food quality - and is culturally more advanced. The US has better aircraft carriers and bombs and missiles - not a bad thing to have right now. "Adjusted for the cost of living and local prices, providing a better sense of "real" output and internal volume. Because many services (healthcare, education, rent) are often cheaper in Europe, this metric significantly closes the gap. When adjusted for purchasing power, the combined EU and UK economy is actually **roughly 7-8% larger** than that of the U.S."
Interesting FUD on maritime insurance and fraying US/UK relationship https://x.com/i/status/2028533903263150172
International for the longer term is cope in my view, however there are a couple caveats. China is facing significant headwinds such as major demographic issues, property market crisis, and lack of soft power in general. Granted they might over perform on AI Russia is completely cooked despite having been a major player in the 2000s decade Europe and UK aren't even worth discussing unless major changes are made, just completely different cultures than the U.S. and massive red tape. I believe there hasn't been a single EU company founded in the last 50 years that has reached a market cap of over 100 billion while staying in Europe. Also they are dealing with a longer term energy crisis, spending something like 3x-5x on energy vs. the U.S That all said, Japan and India more specifically are looking pretty juicy and could offset the above
Europe and UK might outperform if US mega-caps stumble
sub-1% interest rates? The US and UK government can’t get below a 4% yield on their bonds, but “Jewish billionaire paedo #4 gets interest free money because collateral.” I know this sub is highly regarded, but it’s not meant to be like this.
That sucks, no taxes on gambling winnings in the UK.
So international had *one* strong year in 2025 (vs. 15 years of U.S. dominance) directly because of Trump, and the laggards are piling in as if that is going to continue for the foreseeable future. Does anyone truly believe international will outperform U.S. for a decade like it did in the 2000s? Assume things go back to "normal" in 2028 as well. I just don't see it happening much after that unless you are a big believer in the China story. We know Europe is saddled by excessive red tape, and I'm not even going to get started on the UK
Crude futures are up more than 1%. China can outspend Europe because the have the price margins that are simply not present in the EU and UK. DPRK isn't a blip in the world economy. Except for Chinese and Russian tankers no one else is currently transiting the Straits of Hormuz. Two LNG tankers in the upper Persian Gulf have been spotted venting their NG into the air because they Das Island won't allow them to offload and they're worried about catching a drone. Another tanker has been spotted redirecting to Al-Zour for an unplanned offload of UAE to EU gas. And now we're seeing this: [https://nypost.com/2026/03/02/us-news/trump-wont-rule-out-sending-us-troops-into-iran-if-necessary-tells-the-post-i-dont-care-about-polling/](https://nypost.com/2026/03/02/us-news/trump-wont-rule-out-sending-us-troops-into-iran-if-necessary-tells-the-post-i-dont-care-about-polling/) It sounds like this will be drawn out affair.
That coup wasn't imposed from outside, the Shah (King) held power in Iran already and the US/UK simply threw their support behind him and encouraged him to take control of the country. There isn't anything like that in Iran today so it would require the entire Iranian regime be overthrown to effect regime change.
As a UK consumer who has expertise in both CPG and drinking Brewdog - my thoughts on where they went wrong. Brewing failed because it expanded production and costs before securing profitable demand, weakening margins and cash flow. The original product was solid, but it diluted its brand, overextended into distribution too early, and scaled in a saturated market. Ultimately, supply-led growth amplified structural weaknesses instead of building sustainable demand. It probably has parallels with some of the Canadian LPs. There is brand value in there somewhere, but unsure vs price paid and if Tilray are the ones to unlock it.
UK parliament just authorized US forces to use their bases in the Middle East to launch strikes against Iran.
*"Brewdog reported £37m pre-tax loss in its latest financial year. Job cuts follow years of challenges for the brewer, including consecutive annual losses, the closure of multiple UK bars (including its flagship pub), leadership changes and criticism over cost-cutting measures, and have raised concerns among employees and industry observers about the company’s future direction."* Another blockbuster move by Irwin Simon. This is the type of garbage you're throwing money into, folks.
