Because its not about the numbers being better or any factor where that matters. Its abou8t the Cruelty and aim for a take over of the country by the Far Right White Christian Nationalists where cruelty and being right are the only preserve. I'm in the UK and from the outside looking in, it is plainly obvious what is happening. Trump is only the "In if for a good time" face of it and can easily be pushed when the time is right. Its the Millers, Vances, Heritage and Federalist acolytes behind it all that are driving the real agenda. Trump doesn't matter whatsoever - Everyone behind the scenes does.

On this data it is supprising that the UK cut interest rates last month. I would expect any country above 3% would be holding or raising rates. Jobs data most be terrible.

Crackdown on immigration (especially criminals) , putting economic pressure on China (trade war), putting pressure on Europe (forcing us to both economic and defence self reliance), putting pressure on countries to end wars (Ukraine/Russia, Iran/Israel, Gaza/Israel, India/Pakistan), stopping racist D.E.I, tax-cuts for businesses, in general stopping all woke politics, putting pressure on especially UK, Germany for free speech crackdown (literally arresting people for comments and memes online, political persecution). I'm sure there's some more good things that I'm missing, but these are probably my favorites. I assume you're opposed to all these things, because, y'know, ideological posession?

No no you don’t get it! Netanyahu, his cronies and the IDF are all innocent victims who just NEED UK taxpayer money to keep bombing our aid trucks and killing children. It’s the British people painting over planes and holding up cardboard signs who are the real war criminals, and Kier is definitely not afraid of hunting them down!

Here's a risk to think about -- This just popped into my head: Recently, credit card processors have been getting pressured by conservative christians/project 2025/Trump administration to cut off processing for certain products with sexual content that they don't like. We are also seeing a big push for government surveillance and Internet censorship, via the new UK "Online Safety Act" and similar age verification rules in other countries. I wonder if they will go after gaming and sports betting.

Tesla almost halves UK monthly lease fee as sales slump, The Times reports [https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-almost-halves-uk-monthly-000117185.html](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-almost-halves-uk-monthly-000117185.html)

Sad_Sheepherder_448

I really enjoyed reading this DD, thanks for taking the time to do it and I often find Reddit is the only place that I can also talk about investing! I've been trying to get more info on hgraf but other than stuff produced from finance related websites it's tricky too. I've only found the original paper for the detonation creation of graphene but can't find anything else in terms of the science and there is little written about it elsewhere in terms of using it or a similar technique alongside the other three established forms of graphene production like exfoliation. What I am struggling with is the technology and patent. The actual patent for the detonation creation technique has been granted to the university of kansas where Dr Sorensen worked/works. It is not in the name of hydrograph. I confess ignorance with regard patent law etc and understand that Dr Sorensen and team likely receive so much of any royalties from the patent being applied however past experience with universities suggests that there is usually a clause that states X percent of revenue from the patent or tech when discovered as a part of the university is shared with it e.g of 100 dollars 30 would be for Kansas and 70 for hydrograph (if that's how it is split). So my big question is what proportion of all profit has to be paid back to Kansas as a part of the patent usage agreement (the patent is listed with them until 2036). Levidian was an interesting read and as a Brit I hadn't come across them but they seem much further ahead in terms of partnerships across Europe the middle east and Asia and have held a graphene auction with some success last year. They are also partnered with zentek, a Canadian company listed on both Nasdaq and Toronto exchange, and who have rights to a graphite mine for obtaining the raw material. Levidian also seems well established with the GEIC in Manchester UK and other leading universities like Cambridge and Cranfield (the latter is often involved in UK govt related research). I am thinking of taking up a position in hgraf but there are a lot of questions that I can't find answers to and I can't help but feel that they are considerably over priced currently for a company with no at scale production, clients or positive revenue.

Outlook therapeutics (biotechnology) It is no longer a research company, its first sales and approvals began - EU + UK approval = Sales start in Germany in Q2 - 10-year exclusivity in Europe and the United Kingdom. - Large market volume Important milestones In 2 weeks On 08/20: FDA response +80% approval Scenarios Short term 2 to 4 months: 9 / 20 $ Medium term 6 to 12 months: 20 / 50 $ Long term 24 to 36 months: 90 / 150 $ They are results looking at the debt, the future cost of management and the profits from sales in the expansion of its market, taking only into account management in Europe. It will be 2 weeks of great volatility but if there is one thing that is assured it is that it no longer does trials, it is a company that sells and also since it is unique it has exclusivity so the cash flow is 100% secure.

I don't know about silicon valley, but I can confirm from my friends who graduated the same time as me that a lot of them have comparable wages to the UK, but they have a lot of additional benefits given the cultural difference (like some have accommodation, more of a bonus culture, etc) which add up, in addition to lower COL. At least in the big companies. The other side of this is obviously the smaller shops that can't pay anywhere near as much, even if they still offer some smaller benefits.

AkiloOfPickles

The size of the country doesn't really matter. Think about it like this, china is only 4 times bigger than the USA, and the USA is 6 times bigger than the UK. There's no reason to believe that the USA should have a higher unemployment rate than the UK, since a bigger population also means a bigger market (people you can sell things or services to) and therefore a bigger pool of jobs.

Just fyi, in the UK, the infrastructure of EV charging stations may was well be nonexistent. It’s not happening here. Taking away the EV credits soon and the sur charge into London to end soon as well. What takes 3 hrs to London took 11 hrs because of slow charge and the lack of charging stations from Wales to London. Changed my car to hybrid.

The UK did a study a while ago and they found that 40% of all jobs were deemed utterly pointless by the people doing them. Meaning, people felt if they stopped doing their job and no one replaced them there would be zero impact on society. Millions and millions of people have been living in a quiet dystopia for a long time now. Just pushing papers around to look busy.

EU has struggled because the US was there with a free market. Current policies have shown that might not be the case anymore. Also 1970 to 2007....UK/Europe did far better for roughly 20+ years there. If the US continues it's curelrent policies into year 2 of dumbass. EU is taking g over. Jpow exiting could be the catalyst.

The UK and the EU are hell-bent on fighting to the bitter end (for Ukraine, unfortunately). Even if US and Russia agreed on something, the vassal states may actually defy Trump's will this time. They have invested way too much in the project (sunk cost fallacy) and they keep doubling down, like the regarded gamblers in this sub.

After the invasion of Ukraine, the U.S., UK, and EU moved to: Freeze $300B+ in Russian central bank reserves held overseas. Seize superyachts, real estate, and bank accounts from Russian oligarchs. These billionaires had money, but when international systems turned on them, their ability to use it vanished. 💡 Modern Lesson: Wealth is powerful—but only when you're compliant with the political-economic rules that govern access.

The US and UK are actually not doing too bad if we're just talking about the unstoppable demographic bomb. But you need to take into account tourist or start-up friendly areas. These will have people moving in either short or mid-long term. So the demographic bomb won't matter so much if you just want cashflow. Then put the cashflow into higher risk stuff. We'll both be dead by the time the demographic bomb has real economic impact.

Oh, so there's no rule that stops US investors buying the DK shares, it's just that many US brokerages don't allow it? I guess there might also be some UK brokerages that only offer UK or UK & US stocks, but I've only ever used IB. I'm not sure if holding the ADRs means that they're subject to US dividend tax and the US-UK 15% treaty rate applies. From a quick check I see there's a DK-UK double taxation treaty and it looks like DK's dividend tax rate is 15%, but I'm not certain whether that is automatically deducted or if you can opt to pay the relevant UK tax instead, which would obviously be beneficial if holding the shares in a tax-exempt ISA

greenpride32

In the US, Novo has an ADR, NVO, listed on NYSE. Most of the big name brokerages in the US don't allow investment in foreign exchanges. Same as you, those in the US would open an account on IB to access foreign markets. Every ADR is different, every country has different rules, so not sure what are the implications of you in the UK, owning a stock based in DK. You might have to pay fees for the ADR maintenance, maybe your taxes on dividend is different/higher - I don't know. One thing I do see is on LSE, the Novo ADR has very low volume and thus lower liquidity. If you care about that sort of thing, it's of course preferable to own the DK shares where liquidity is higher. If you are a long term investor, it's not going to matter. If you are more so day trading and fighting for pennies on the dollar, you want the tighter bid/ask spread and higher liquidity for sure.

22 y/o Male from UK. Should I allocate all my investment funds to S&P 500? Hi everyone, Been investing since I was 16 and learning every day but need advice. On about £2,620 per month salary take home pay. After my half of the mortgage, bills and everything has been paid (~£1,200) I’m left with ~£1,420 to invest and allocate to savings. I was thinking, per month: > £120 to SIPP (S&P 500) > £1000 S&P 500 Trading212 S&S ISA > £100 Emergency Fund with 4% interest > £200 into uninvested cash in Trading212 S&S ISA (around 4% per month interest) Reason why SIPP is only £120 is because with workplace contributions and salary contributions I pay around £380 to my pension automatically and just transfer it to my SIPP every couple months or so. So I’m contributing £500 into my SIPP per month with my additional £120. Is this a good plan or am I being stupid? Let me know your thoughts, open to criticism.

Labour being a formerly communist party is why the UK had nationalized healthcare and railroads, both of which have been a huge benefit. They suck now of course but that's after years of privatization now that they, like the US, only have right wing parties.

And he made deals with UK and Australia that involved them buying beef from the US. So he's making less supply and a bigger demand.

Mba1956

As someone from the UK I find there is a silver lining in it for the UK consumer who has been worried about being flooded with imported US beef, especially after the trade deal, not meeting our food standards. It seems that we don’t have to worry about a surplus of US beef entering the UK now as there will not be any surplus to ship to us and the price will be prohibitive.

Good idea. Housing market is due for a crash next year based on the work of Fred Harrison and Phil Anderson who both have some very solid theory of the cyclical nature of the land (includes housing) market (using UK and US examples) behind them. I follow their theories. Not that you know who I am. All I can suggest is you look into their works. I plan to sell my house within the next 3 months. I also plan to retire and return to Canada and travel. When the US land market collapses the stock market will follow according to the theory. So, be very careful investing your equity for a few years once winter ends next year.

I have absolute faith in the US market, not your government given information is being suppressed, political appointees, Powell on borrowed time, significant corruption etc If I can get in when the dollar is hammered I will, but there’s a lot more time for stupidity left.

If in very short, its a unique tech they have developed, hashgraph, thats better than blockchain/visa/swift technology in terms of speed, price and security when making transactions. Robonhood recently added it to its assets pool and hedera plan to release hbar etf in autumn or so if its approved by SEC. So there is potential circulation increase. There are quite a lot of news about it so i encourage you to do your research first of all. There is also info about digital Australian dollar and Loyd bank in UK etc I had somewhat of a burnout with sst and atyr stocks and tried to find something that wont wake me up at night and make look at stock price. I hope i didnt make mistakes here. I hear people saying thats its really early now with hbar and that it has a good growth potential. Even though it has already grown like 300% or something from last year. The price is wiggling now but in long term it doesnt matter so you can enroll at any time now if you decide to. (I asked that on the reddit too) Another good thing id like to mention is that its not some meme coin like bonk/doge/pepe that have no foundation unlike hbar so its not as speculative or volatile. Downsides and risks are that the tech wont be used widely and integrated or people holding amounts of tokens start selling in big amounts. So anyways hope this short info helps in building an impression and hope it’s not a mistake of mine. Thank you and I wish you good profits too mate 🙂

Being in a country like the UK, where mortgage interest isn't tax-deductible while savings interest is taxed at up to 45%. I'd need to be getting over 5.35% just to break even with a HYSA and no-one's offering that much. And sure, I could put it in equities and get bigger average returns (cap gains taxed at 24%), but I'm close to RE and really don't need the SORR. The best I could do is low-coupon gilts (CGT-exempt) which return about 3.6%, and that's a lot of hassle just to gain 0.6% (besides, lending money to Rachel Reeves is arguably *not* risk-free). (My mortgage is at 4% and I will *definitely* be making the maximum allowed overpayment, because that's equivalent to a 7.25% savings account after tax!)

I’m new to investing so I don’t know much, but I have been asking this exact question. I initially put 20k in last week, but it only took a week of reading for me to pull half of that back to keep as dry powder. Everyone seems far too confident in the stocks continuing to rise, and with the UK government encouraging regular folks to buy stocks, that sends alarm bells to me honestly. I don’t know the ins and outs, but as I’ve never entered the market previously, and with time on my side, I’m in no rush to buy. I’ll just wait till the next downturn, potential future losses be damned.

I think that's why it's one of the only UK stocks I think that attracts a lot of international investment - because all those neckbeards are rich now and have disposable income, and they know the company. Anyway, they're doing this Amazon 'Warhammer' adaptation (Henry Cavill is involved and just gave an update a month or so ago) which should increase their profile and revenue... Nice dividend too. I really like the company.

It doesn’t matter if Starlink is sending satellites everyday, they currently don’t have the tech and won’t for a long time. I understand thinking ASTS is currently overvalued, it is.

Reminder: There are 3 bills currently in the US senate everyone needs to pay attention to. Your rights to privacy and freedom of speech/expression are at stake. The internet as we’ve known it since its inception is at risk. S.401 - Fair Access to Banking Act https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/401 This bill cracks down on behavior of payment processors, making it heavily penalized and unlawful to restrict payment processing and banking services to lawful businesses and products. We have 2 of our own censorship bills with BIPARTISAN SUPPORT. They are framed as “protecting kids”, but they are Trojan horses designed to give the government and corporations the power for mass surveillance and suppression of free speech/expression. You can find out more details here and which senator exactly supports them. Contact your local senators and pressure them to vote against them. Tell every single person you know in person and online about them: S.1748 - Kids Online Safety Act https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/1748 -Aims to “restrict internet access” all under the guise of “protecting the children”. Extremely similar to the UK’s massive censorship and surveillance law recently passed. -Will lead to digital identity, total deanonymization of the internet, and massive censorship. Reintroduced to congress in May 2025. S.737 - SCREEN Act https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/737/text If passed, will require full Age Verification all in the name of “Protecting Kids” to access the internet.

No-State-2962

Thank you. Obviously we’d all like to call the market, but I’m not smart enough to do that.  In the UK we are much more property obsessed, and stocks are rarely spoken about by guys in the pub. But everyone knows how much their neighbour made selling their house. I wish I had a few quid for every time I’ve heard that the UK property market is overvalued, and a 30 percent correction is around the corner. I’ve actually heard of people selling up with a view to buying a much bigger house when the crash comes. Those people are still crying. For this reason I tend to think that, like UK property, the best time to buy US stocks is … any time.  👍

And my business, which although we’re having a tough time this year, has a reasonable balance sheet (hundreds of thousands, not millions). And the UK state pension is about 24k for a couple, which I consider quite generous, as long as you don’t rely on it totally.

Oh, I don't doubt it. That's the UK. This is America, we're more prone to do our OXY deals in church.

tell that to that 25% adder I saw on a FEDEX bill on a product imported by UK a couple months ago

funded for 60. 25 you'll see some actual revenue coming in 60 will cover US, Canada, Japan, UK, they didn't say it but probably a lot of the EU too

Europeans and UK have too much faith on him, still. UK may have the better outcome because Trump likes Starmer and admires a king but the EU needs to accept their reality in terms of making 'deals' with him.

Not sure why UK laws surprise you guys at all? What do you think 1776 was for? Lmao

I’m glad I posted, as the replies were interesting, and generally against this being a good idea. Obviously I think he’s a god …. the god … but I can’t believe that Abel won’t have learnt well at the knee of the sage.  Also, I wouldn’t invest in one stock generally. Not Apple, Google, whatever … but I think of BH as a sort of index fund in itself, because of the varied businesses they own. And although there’s a lot of criticism of the cash pile, having cash when opportunity arises is rarely a bad thing in my experience. And they currently have enough to buy the UK if they chose to, although I’d strongly advise against it. Thank you for the replies 👍

This is the UK. We can't buys puts or calls.

Nope. No idea who that is. I'm referring to an article in The Independent newspaper in the UK. Pelosi and 20 odd other members of Congress made double the returns of the S&P500 average gain of 24.9% in 2024. With the top 5 performers estimated making over 100% gains. So either members of Congress also happen to be the best investment bankers in the world or there's something sus happening.

Yes. I agree! Those bloody tariffs must go. I absolutely detest the previous administration but this one has been a major pain in the ***.  I regularly buy things online and my favorite sellers are located in the UK and France. Those darn tariffs now make it impossible for me to buy anything from them. I have a few friends who love in China, South Korea and Japan and sadly they all will shut down their small businesses as their biggest customers are all from the US. Because they are unable and unwilling to pay those import taxes, they will not be buying anything from my friends. And I understand the idea behind those darn tariffs, but I just don’t agree with them one bit. Besides, I refuse to accept the fact that I have to fix holes in the budget, especially due to the fact I have nothing to do with how huge the national debt is

Yes, if you listen to media, the US economy is on the edge of collapse ... And honestly, that could but no. Why ? \- indicators are good for the moment, they follow the path of FED. We don't see the return of inflation or massive job cuts ... \- tariff policy doesn't lead to trade war: Europe, UK, Japan, South Korea and other accepted to be a good B. India, China and Brazil keep their own dignity and they show how strong they are and Trump got it. So Trump can't make a move against China. He hit India and Brazil but they bet on the rest of the world and that looks like "expected". So it's like Trump doesn't go too far when the opponent is strong. He doesn't get shoulder for this kind of war. So today, it's ok. \- Debt of US : money print as usual. Dollars lost some value but they can export less expensive ... \- debt of retail : the most risky for me. If the country know massive job cuts, 2008 will be back.

Called last week CHSN..now look RAYA..if both offerings are closed with shares and warrants out.. they could have max. around 200 mln shares outstanding. Now look at the revenues around 10 mln and no debts..and look at the mrkt cap before the offering with 35 mln shares outstanding...it was around 75 cap mrkt..now 200 mln shares * 0.07...14 mln cap mrkt with 10 mln cash in hand after 2 offerings. It could pop very very soon. Adding up they are talking for partnerships with 2 major companies in Middle east and UK.

We had a war called the 100 year war in the UK...Yorkshire v Lancashire....just saying....

The UK is outperforming US at the moment. About 80s/90s they did a run as well. Hardly 150 years

The reason is that although the news from the FED will be important, in my humble opinion I think that the marketing in Europe and the UK will be the most shocking regarding the price, Hypothesizing a negative response from the FED, the sales volume in 2026 and 2027 will give us joy and good results.

Rolls Royce. Massive share of big aircraft engines. Also a monopoly on UK and AUKUS submarine reactors. And UK SMR production.

I have spent 2 years with accumulation and a good average price... many people are only looking at this month but the more volatility the better... I will look to the future of 1 or 2 years and only with the marketing in the EU and UK... THEY STARTED little by little but it is fine since no problem was reported in the distribution so it is perfect that they are not overcome by ambition and if they do things with logical patience to be able to scale well
