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.

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?

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.

Now to follow up the UK has had “crises” in the 50s-60s, 80s, 2000s, a short stint in the 2010s and 2020s. As you can see they successfully devalued their debt in the 1950s well before the 2000s

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.

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.

marco_altieri

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

lufisraccoon

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.

Just globally diversify, and you won't have to worry about the periods where Europe or other continents outperform the US.

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.

DustMobile5282

Start off with ETFs. Starting so young is a great decision. You haven't said which specific European country you're in, but i strongly recommend looking into whether your government offers and tax efficient ways to invest. In the UK we have ISAs where none of your profits are subject to any kind of tax. An All World fund will still contain all the majorly US stocks, so it's your decision whether you prefer that, or a US only fund, or even one of each.

Quantum bears are so annoying, they think they know everything. Always ignoring the enormous Quantum Sensing market, which is \*the quantum opportunity of today\* that will see exponential growth for multiple years before large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computing. I am long CCCX. WSB will probably wait for the merger with Infleqtion as INFQ, however. Infleqtion is a founding partner of NVDA NVQLink. And yes, one day will layer on top of the GPU-CPU AI datacenter stack as Jenson Huang designed with NVQLink. But today, Infleqtion is dominating the Quantum Sensing market. \*CCCX / Infleqtion sells quantum RF receivers, quantum clocks, quantum inertia sensors to DoD, NASA, Japan gov, UK gov, US gov, research institutions, and more\* Do some research and you will see why governments need Quantum Sensing products. One use case: battlefields are now vulnerable to GPS jamming. GPS denied environments will REQUIRE quantum sensing products like QRF receivers to operate. Same seed investors as PLTR and Anduril. Look what QS did when they merged. CCCX to 100+.

The US/ UK nuclear energy pact is cutting approval times in half. Trump has made it a priority to fast track nuclear. For example.

They have decreased FCF (Still like +20B) but, this is expected during high Capex events. However. with their backup with all of these points their MOAT is incredibly strong alongside the "Co Locate with the data location" idea. Easy to switch to, hard af to switch from. Not necessarily saying there is zero risk as there always is some but, I doubt to an incredible level that this is a warning sign for anyone on that list. Put/call @ 0.89 / CDS spread increase by 25 BPS. It's highly likely it's hedging, go to bed. With how rates have been I'm surprised everyone didn't issue even more.

>Devaluation of the dollar has been occurring for decades son, money printing to pay for free stuff So now we're conflating the international value of the dollar with basic domestic inflation? Guess what, most other major economies have been doing the same thing (including printing tons of currency and depressing interest rates / propping up their banks) and are dealing with similar if not worse levels of inflation over the same period.. Since 1997...cumulative inflation rates: - US: 102% - EU: 80% - Russia: 2,219% - Brazil: 102% - India: 394% - China: 41% - UK: 93.7% - Japan: 13% - Canada: 80% - Australia: 108% The only major outliers on the inflationary side are Russia and India. Sure the EU, UK and Canada have been slightly lower than us overall, they also haven't experienced nearly as much growth in raw economic output compared to us in that period which matters (have your seen the comparatively fucking awful salaries in the UK and most of EU compared to US?). China artificially pegs the yuan at a devalued rate so their numbers are naturally bullshit and Japan has been in stagflation with minimal economic growth for decades now, so not an envious position.

Ummm... You realize the UK, France and Germany are all more top heavy than the US, right? https://x.com/RyanDetrick/status/1991246859365454165?t=bbDY9Fobg1fvpQAjGXq6CA&s=19

that guy from UK essentially went to prison for this in the 2010s IIRC. A good RL algorithm finding or re-discovering advanced stuff is not a news anymore.

recent volatility could very well be an effect from the Japanese Bond market. that would be my bet. even little cracks in bond markets can derail anything. happened in 2022, when the UK gilt market froze. and the Japanese bond market is much bigger: 10tn. they had absurdly low interest rates for decades, setting up this big bubble. and attached to it is the yen carry trade. now interest rates are moving up. and you read silly stuff like "*The Japanese government is launching a massive spending spree to fight inflation*". doesnt get any better than this can easily become a liquidation event that forces the Fed to act. like they always do: printing

Anybody else thinking we are just correcting on the way to the top, which we haven’t hit yet? This “bubble” could last 2-3 more years looking at it. More likely to see a UK housing crises/crash before this lot goes.

160K invested inside UK ISA with trading 212, I’m 26 now, that’s 8 years of investment with maxing the ISA each year, the portfolio is 695k British pounds today. The key is being consistent, even during crashes the money will alway go up (depending how risky your investments are and what etfs you have). Especially while your young, my goal is to retire at 50, it’s looking like I would have a possibility to retire around 40-45, even if that’s the case I’ve told myself I will carry on until I reach the goal. But I guess we will see when we get to that stage. Anyway please if your young, remember to do some solid research as investing isn’t a game, you need to follow suit and well hopefully more people do it especially in the younger ages, you’ll regret it later in life when your old, but you do have to sacrifice earnings today to achieve your future goals.

Brokers have very strict rules. They have to hold your assets in segregated accounts that are separate from their companies' assets. Touching client assets would be decades in prison. There are also regular audits. If something did happen, there's insurance: - SIPC (U.S.): up to $500k per account (including $250k cash) - ICS (EU countries): typically €20k - FSCS (UK): up to £85k cash protection But for semantics, I guess you're right. I'm still not going to go around talking about my "entitlements" though...

I posted a long DD in the lounge about NFE yesterday morning. First -NFE Thursday and Friday was not a dump and pump. NFEs rise Thursday was not the "pump" part of pump and dump. NFE rose Thursday because people were placing bets on the earning/update that some expected to be released after close. I posted in the lounge multiple times on Thursday explaining this. Then during after hours between 4 and 5 I posted 3 times that if the expected information (about UK debt restructuring) was included in the update then the stock would likely return gains on Friday. That is exactly what happened. The reason I was able to predict what would happen Thursday and Friday with NFE share price was not because it was a pump and dump, but because there were logical reasons for the price action (see above). I've posted in the lounge many times in the past month about NFE. In more half of these posts I have pointed out the speculative, high risk, high reward nature of the stock. Many time I have stated not to invest any more than you are willing to lose, because regardless of the potential return, you are much more likely to lose all or most of your money, than to make any gain at all. With NFE DO NOT INVEST MORE THAN YOU ARE WILLING TO LOSE! While the short data shows that NFE is clearly a squeeze candidate, I agree with Fun Return that its unlikely to reach the volume needed to squeeze. I do add the caveat though: "without a news catalyst, NFE is unlikely to reach the volume needed to squeeze. SGBX had a supposedly "perfect squeeze set-up, so it was able to squeeze on retail hype alone. NFE's set-up is not as good and its financials are so horrible that it will not squeeze on hype alone. It needs a news catalyst. So what are the potential catalysts? Here they are, baby: 1. Up to $659 million FEMA payment from a reparations claim from the 2017 hurricane that hit Puerto Rico. 2. Approval of a contract to supply LNG to Puerto Rico at $440 million/year for 15 years. 3. Brazil starts up a 624 MW gas-fired power plant and begins per contractual obligation buying LNG from NFE. 4. Fed. Gov. investment similar to recent rare earth, chip, and steel deals. This one is more of a crapshoot, btu it is true that LNG has become of strategic geopolitical significance since Russia invaded Ukraine and Trump and NFEs' CEO Wes Edens are friends. In fact, during Trumps NYC real estate days Edens forgave $100 million in debt Trump owed an Eden firm to get trump put of tight predicament. 5. Speaking of Eden and him forgiving a friends/fellow investors debt... it is difficult to overstate just how well-respsected and well established Edens is within the Wall Street and Bond Jockey community. Edens has been around since the 80's, was a Blackrock Founder, has started a few dozen or so hedge funds and equty funds, and has mentored countless people who now run their own funds or are otherwise big shot on Wall Street. Eden has plenty of Wall Street favors he could call in if we wants to, and it is likely Wall Street will honor his requests. 6. There is evidence that Wall Street is already paying back to him Edens decades of karma. Two weeks ago a lender gave a one month forbearance for an interest payment on NFE debt that NFE would not have been able to meet. Even before that some lenders have been coming to arrangements with NFE where NFE is purchasing back NFE debt at 50 or less par value. Then yesterday it was announced that more lenders were delaying interest payments due this calendar year (which NFE would not have been able to meet) until mid-March. 7. The most important potential catalyst - the UK debt restructuring. As an alternative to a US Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, NFE is seeking to restructure their debt through a UK "Scheme of Arrangement". Whereas a Chapter 11 bankruptcy would with 99.9% certainity would 100% wipe out equity, in a Scheme of Arrangement at least some equity would probably be spared. Maybe most equity, maybe less equity... no way to know to what extent equity would be spared. This is huge. As NFE pointed out (again) in yesterdays 10Q, if the UK debt restructuring does not go through then they will very likely have to go through Chapter 11 and equity can be expected to lose essentially everything. There it is. Invest at own risk. NFE is high risk, high reward. Its so high risk it is flat out speculation. The reward could be huge, but you are much more likely to lose most or all rather than profit a single penny. DO NOT PUT IN MORE THAN YOU WANT TO LOSE, BECAUSE YOU MOST LIKELY WILL LOSE IT ALL!!!

HelloW0rldBye

Nate you are so right. I really need to understand puts and calls. Although I don't think we can use them in UK ISAs?

I won’t lie to you man Monster is massssive in the UK, like in terms of litter monster cans are probably the most common thing you see, but I wish you the best of luck and I hope you let me hold 5k when you inevitably make it rich.
