Yes! I tried posting a piece on /stocks but don’t have enough karma. PLTR is committing accounting fraud. If it was any other administration the stock would be 25% where it is today. This company will be 10% its valuation in 5 years, but it’s going to take the cult members time to come to their senses. Which is the risk because they have such conviction… 1. PLTR’s valuation worries me because the business could keep growing quickly while the stock falls if investors pay a lower multiple. 2. Having one customer account for 27% of receivables makes me want more detail about payment terms and collections. Receivables also growing at 1.5x of revenue. This is super sketchy and means customers aren’t paying. Why? 3. Stock compensation is a real cost to shareholders, even when it’s excluded from adjusted operating profit. 4. I wouldn’t assume the unusually low effective tax rate will continue when estimating future earnings. 5. Investing in companies that also buy Palantir’s products raises questions about pricing and independent demand, though it doesn’t establish improper sales. 6. The Army agreement’s $10 billion ceiling represents potential purchases over time, rather than guaranteed additional revenue. 7. The founders’ voting power leaves outside shareholders with limited influence over management decisions. 8. The NHS performance comparisons discussed by the UK statistics regulator couldn’t establish how much improvement the software itself caused. 9. France’s planned transition to another supplier shows that government relationships can change despite years of working together. 10. Long-term cloud spending commitments could become less attractive if customer demand falls short of expectations.

military campaigns led by the U.S. and UK against the Houthis in 2024 and 2025 were widely considered an operational failure. Despite spending billions of dollars and executing over 900 airstrikes, the coalition could not restore freedom of navigation in the Red Sea. just FYI

Fuck no! Pensions are not the main cause. Not even close. That statement show some crazy kind of personal bias. Main issues for this are much larger than that. Proof is that this is happening in Japan, US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, etc. Big issues causing this: government debt issuance and lack of fiscal constraint, competition between government and private sector (governments are issuing bonds and so are major hyperscalers doing AI buildout - people fight for the best return), and energy shock and inflation. This is a classic fight over more scarce and less available capital measured against greater uncertainty. This has fuck all to do with pensions. Pension funds are already invested in the markets and will not impact yield rates like you would seem to imply

Sorry for your loss buddy. My partner passed away a few years back. I am in my late 30s and working full time in IT, based in UK. After I had her funeral, I told myself I need to focus and I started learning and d ay trade options once a day. It is not that complicated. I have been sorting out some things and one of my goals is to reach a certain amount to stop working full time before I lose my job. It is a matter of time with how it is going in the economy. You can see my post in the subreddit in my profile over last 20 weeks. I have been growing a small accout to encourage people that one trade a day, 2-5 times a week is enough to grow an account consistently. I only have 2 vids on my youtube channel from march if last year, will try put more. I don't do any complex strategies, and trade only ETFs like SPY, QQQ, IWM etc

The tl;dr is hes been involved since this was Guild, the esports company; hes got some sort of ownership stake in the fund that provided the 2 mil, he heads up First Sentinal, a finance type firm that specialises in micro cap listings/takeovers/cap. Raises, etc., he was a director during the Guild years, he handled the transition to Cassel Capital, now hes CEO of ALRT. First Sentinal is/was involved with at least one of the names this company was under, meaning he likely got a cut of any advisory fees paid to them, even while he was part of the C suite. Hes a financial type that, so far, has helmed a company thats done such extensive share offerings that it now sits at a billion plus shares. None of that is to say hes a jlnet negative for the company, he may well be really pushing it to become a key player in UK defense, the fact that theyve got the Whitepaper partnership as well as 2 pilot programs with the MoD, one of which will now bear(small but still) some sort of revenue plus the new C suite with some big names in the industry all under his stewardship is positive. Id just like to see some solid execution from the retooled management before i put anything in

If you mean the potato famine, that's because the UK controlled their colony in Ireland at the time, and they preferred to ship their food to London rather than feed the Irish.

lihoslavl

Dude, all the West is still dreaming about is so-called "decolonization" of Russia. To achieve that Russia should be weakened, this is what they do, this is what they always did: if you cannot destroy your opponent by the brute force, weaken them by inner struggles / proxy conflicts. Or don't you remember all the shit that US and NATO did in the past using human rights as casus belli? The incentive for the US is to get rid of all big countries in the World and to take full control of them: first Russia, then China, after that India if they dare to become #2. Every country that becomes #2 is a threat to the US. They did it to Argentina, the UK, the USSR, Japan before, they do it for China and Russia right now. Dude, imagine that Canada launches an alliance with China and starts persecuting English language as inferior and foreign to their culture and start a civil war. How many time will it take for the US to invade? All it took to bring nukes to Cuba (while Yankees already had nukes in Turkey) for Murrica to start threaten nuclear war to the USSR. Zelensky threatened of making nukes. So basically you either a hypocrite or just blind to the facts. \>There is a multitude of evidence to these facts. Are you aware that Ukrainians hold prisoners in illegal jails in Donbass and commited all these things you mentioned? Google Tornado company, for example, they were too brutal even by Ukrainian standards. Azov committed multiple war crimes too, including everything you mentioned plus using people as a human shield and being a literal Nazis. Europe and America wanted ceasefire because they wanted to damage and weaken Russian army, economy and overall internal integrity as far as they can. They did it to the USSR during the cold war by using the same methods: proxy wars, armament race. Now they use it to split Russia in even smaller parts: take away Siberia, Caucasus, etc. If you don't believe me just google: Russia decolonization. Russian leadership wanted only a couple of things from Ukraine: remain either allied to Russia or at least neutral (thus prohibiting Ukraine to enter anti-Russian alliance NATO (don't bullshit me how it is just a defensive alliance)), don't touch the Black Sea fleet and not destroying Russian language and culture and Russian-speakers themselves in Ukraine. They did it all and also worshiped literal Nazi collaborators and SS generals. Russia is still allergic to these things, you know, unlike Ukraine we have some historical memories of that events and the cost we paid for you, the West, to remain free.

hayl4bulb

I've got plenty of DDs on this in this sub. You've got a startup that, 1 year in, has multiple government trial contracts (assumed to be developing currently into multi-year contracts) which will likely be worth millions if full development goes ahead. The leadership team is full of NATO and UK military allumni. They're partnered with oracle and google. Theyve been invited by nvidia to business events. They have their own investment fund for ai defence startups with a dozen companies on board already. Theyve met governmental folk at downing street to discuss ai. With the shift away from Palantir and foreign defence companies, and the heavy investment into ai defence systems, theyre primed for growth, and theyre proving that already with their government trial contracts. Theyll be massive in 5-10 years.

Yes. Wages are too low for the workforce to buy new builds in enough scale to make developers profitable. Material costs are soaring through the roof - how do we think continued diesel shortages and price rises are going to address that? A lot of the expensive stock is owned by the boomers and that will crash as they die/move to care homes. Housebuilders must be worst UK investment right now IMO.

Tesla the most with the most sold electric vehicle in the world worried about a car heavily subsidized and made with slave labor? I would also be worried. Have the car made in America like Germany, Italy, Korea, Japan, Sweden, the UK, and the Netherlands and have the workers make a fair wage and they'd be allowed. Pretending to care about the average person while trying to push slave made products 🤣. I want you to come tell my friend that his 58k a year salary is going away because some poor worthless loser wants to buy from slaves. It's funny when I was in the middle of the Indonesian Sea the boat crew was ecstatic because after the multiple years they worked there they never had internet. It's crazy, some poor Indonesian boat crew has more common sense and respect than some worthless privileged American. I honestly don't understand who raises such failures. Like your parents know you're this pathetic?

The Frenchies are going bankrupt because they've failed to put their retirement age up. Their retirement age is 62 or 64, depending on when they were born. As a comparison, in the UK, it's already 66 and going up to 67 in the foreseeable future. They are also very generous with other benefits. They've just been putting their head in the sand whilst most other countries have acted because of having lots of old people that aren't dying. Time to get real Macron. The protests will be horrific, but you have to act.

I’m 30, I live in the UK. My goal is to maybe buy a house one day or just have money to survive while not being able to work. I wouldn’t like to make any big risks and hopefully I can just let the money sit without being touched for over decade or two but with my situation things could change fairly quickly. Hello, I’ve been fortunate enough to have inherited a decent amount of money from parents. I currently cannot work due to a disability and this money ‘£50k’ could be my only chance of having a financial future. I’ve done some of my own investing over the years with crypto and with the S&P 500 and it’s been somewhat successful. I don’t really know what I’m doing and I don’t have any shame in that. The wealth of information that is forced down your throat via social media when it comes to investing is too much for me and stressful. I know the bare basics. I’m in a position where I’m very scared of using my inheritance for anything because I’m worried I’ll just lose it all due to a global financial crisis or the AI bubble popping. It’s everything I have and I’m vulnerable as it is so losing a safety net like that would be crippling to me. Should I keep going with the S&P 500? Should I invest a good percentage 50% and keep the rest away for emergencies? Should I invest less than that and wait for the AI burst thing? I don’t know. If anyone has any insight or tips or information I’d be super appreciative. Thanks a bunch if you read all that.

FreiherrVonFick

I don't live in the UK, but it looks like they even get supported by the UK goverment.. i would hold and wait, as most analysts recommend. it's very likely that you won't lose anything if you don't sell early. The real question is: how long do you have to wait for how much % profit. If you have to wait 1 year for the stock to then pump 50% over 6 months, you could have performed a lot better doing 4 trades with a 10% profit over 18 months... But that depends on you skill/knowledge and how aware you are of your performance. if you are only investing without much experience - just hold and keep calm (drink some tea 😄) - it will come back... E.g. i am austrian and when russia invaded ukraine the stockprice of the austrian bank Raiffeisen went to shit (13€), because they are invested in the area. But i knew the bank and that it won't go bankrupt come what may... and now they went to 60€ - i don't even know how that was possible (probably some shady business with ukraine/russia) - but it took 4+ years...

Dude did you do any research at all on the history of house builders in the UK? We have like the slowest planning system in the world, the margins are thin, the economy is in a downward trajectory and interest rates are rising. It’s a terrible time to invest in a house builder. The only, only, positive you could consider for a second is that Andy Burnham talks a good game about house building, but he can’t solve the bureaucracy even if he means what he says which is debatable.

I had a similar discussion with a NZ tax pro in 2018 and he told me that, like the US, they were “free‑to‑choose” – the premium can be a separate income and the shares keep the strike as basis, or you can fold it in. The end result is the same cash flow, but the tax character shifts. In practice most advisers will echo the US/UK way and treat the $535 as cutting the basis to $465, mainly because it keeps the capital gains picture tidy.

Europe continues to receive investments not for very high returns but for stability, so people can confidently invest in more risky assets elsewhere. The problem is there are not a lot of countries that can credibly fulfill Europe role. The US can, but it is becoming more risky as you can see it with Trump. The UK has the same problem as the EU. Switzerland is too small to receive that much money. Same with Canada and Australia, who are good candidates and are big enough, but are pretty empty demographically (and closing in on immigrants). China and Russia are very risky politically. Japan and Korea can receive money, but it also has its own demographics problem, on top of needing constant US military involvement. Same with the petromonarchies of the Gulf State. How many people would serenely lend their money and invest a lot in Brazil, Mexico, India, ? Not saying it can't break the Euro, since as Europe gets riskier, other regions gets less risky comparatively, but still.

Fast_and_Curious618

Thank you for your advice. This is really helpful! 😀 I understand the technicals of options from a theoretical perspective but don't have much in the way of experience trading them (been trading futures for ten years through spread bets and CFDs). Like I said, I've traded the synthetic, OTC options on my spread betting account as a way to access higher leverage than the 30:1 spread betting and CFD cap. So this is just a simple long option, moderately ITM to increase the Delta so that it behaves more like the underlying. These are index day trades. I think the spreads are quite wide but the leverage coupled with the tax-free status of spread betting is arguably a cost worth paying. I just wish I could see the Greeks. It only shows IV. To fully understand them, I need to see them, and require them to trade multi-leg strategies. Correct me if I'm wrong but IBKR offer a delayed-data free trial account, and you have to open a real account to access a paper trading account? Did you practise in a trial account first? How was that - is it sufficient? Sorry for throwing so much at you at once but you're only the second person I've seen on Reddit who's based in the UK and trades options, and the first one wouldn't talk to me! This is from passive reading of comments; I've not tried hunting these traders down. 😆 I'm sure there are many more.

Ignoring the typical American-tier levels of simplistic thinking you are showing here, there's a point to be made on this in the housing sector specifically. It is a sector heavily impacted by government policy, changing views, affordability. Housing at this very moment in the UK is under unusual strain. It's hard to see how it can get much worse, but it can get better.

In addition our position in payload silicon, established through our selection by AST SpaceMobile, has strengthened further following consolidation among payload suppliers, **leaving EnSilica as the key independent European supplier in this domain.**’

Capital flows across borders with minimal friction whatever governments try. If Europe want capital to remain invested in German or UK they have to increase yields to where the returns match what investors could get for dumping German bonds and buying US bonds. CF: Scott Bessents' claim to fame when he worked for Soros and executed on Soros' plan - which Bessent misinterpreted to mean that he could give orders as well as follow them. Or Liz Truss monumental failure and resignation as prime minister in the face of capital flight.

cursy

Property in general is not the investment it used to be. The population of much of the world (including the UK) is naturally declining. It's only immigration that was keeping it growing and immigration is now politically toxic. House prices are already falling, and I can't see much demand for new homes going forward.
