The Middle East is shifting closer to China and here in the UK we are turning back towards Europe. Trade deals have been going on for the past 6 months to decrease reliance on America. In the new world order America is shaping up to have no allies

When you threaten to annhilate people, you find out where your allies are, and who is smart enough to become new world leaders UK: "We won't let you use our bases!" Israel: "Standing by" India: "We will become the new beacon of peace and stability in this brutal world"

LordKermit2

Do I think other superpowers are afraid of us? Well that answer is pretty simple. Look at the hundred alliances the US has. A feared country with a reputable military is invited to build bases and project influence across the world in return for protection. Look at Russia, a true paper tiger…if the U.S. was not in NATO then they would have pushed into the baltics at minimum. Europe, especially the UK has no true military with the exception of Poland and a few others. The UK only has enough ammunition to last about a week in a large scale conflict. So yeah I think the U.S. and its industrial scale can outmatch the vast majority of countries

I don't think Trump even knows himself. He's flip flopped between insulting our (UK) Navy saying he doesn't need them & the war's won, and then throwing his toys out of the pram when we refuse to send said Navy to bail him out. Personally I just think Trump is a sick bastard who gets off on human suffering. If any other president had tried half the shit he's done, they'd be long booted out of office.

you have a solar panel which means energy costs are not much of a concern to you and are on a special variable tariff rate, it's more about recouping the cost of the panel before it needs to be scrapped. For almost everyone in UK or germany, for example, electricity is set by gas prices.

Zeitzen

It's wild how the market is barely reacting to this. Flooding the zone and backtracking really desensitized everyone from any posturing from Trump, actual action is the only thing that's going to move the markets at this point, which is scary coming from the guy who wanted to nuke a hurricane. Even the planes flying over the UK right now seem like they could be just a distraction to convince people something is going to happen. I'm assuming we're going to see insider trading just before the market closes if something is actually happening in Iran tonight. What do you think would be an indicator or it? Oil futures spiking again? The 8pm ET deadline is exactly when the after hours market ends, and since there's less liquidity and lower spreads, price volatility is higher so there's more money to be made there. Coincidence?

ShittyUsernane1222

so let me set this straight. Heavily armed B-2 and B-52 bombers are departing their Bases from the US and UK right now and the market is still pricing in a TACO.

I work in finance, and I don't invest any of my money, because _i need it_. Investing is a long term game. Over a 5-10 year time frame? You can reasonably expect an upward trend on 'the market' overall. Over a shorter term? Odds are lower. In any given year you can see a -50% 'plonk' (with some stocks dropping more of course). So my 'investing' is: - emergency fund - enough money so I can tell my boss to F-O, and not be afraid to losing my job. - House deposit - need a percentage to get a mortgage. This needs to be liquid. - (after that) A mortgage - chews up most of my disposable. And sure, it might be sensible to lowball the repayments and effectively leverage yourself to invest, but ... some people prefer a bit more security. Thus my 'investing' is for retirement - I have a pension plan that's locked away but tax relieved (UK thing, but I'm sure a lot of countries have something similar). And I've a _bit_ stuffed into a world equity tracker as my 'investment' (again, in the UK you get stocks-and-shares ISAs which let you be tax-exempt and better still, paperwork exempt). But that's not much, and I'm only capturing 'average market' returns, which over a decade might be 5-10% above inflation per year. In my 20s I didn't, and knowing what I know: I still wouldn't. Because one of the things I know from 'working in finances' is there's a LOT of people sinking a LOT of money into even the thinnest market edges, and I don't have a superior insight. I'm not going to 'win' a game like that. Seriously smart people don't invest for themselves, they invest a few hundred million at high leverage ratios that a retail investor just do. 'active trading' is a negative sum game - for one person to 'win' a trade, another has to lose. But they both pay a transaction fee. So _on average_ you can expect to fail to beat 'benchmark', and as said you're playing against people with significant resources. But I can capture 'market average returns' over a long timeline, and that's exactly what I'm doing. My retirement now is growing quite nicely, and I'll have a decent chance of retiring early. So if you did want to 'be more active' my personal suggestion would be 'pick a strategy'. Not specific entities. Just an approach you think suits you. From what you're saying, you think you're good at valuing companies. That would seem to suggest a 'value factor' approach. E.g. go value some businesses and firms. Then compare that with their current share price. Identify a selection of businesses that you _think_ are 'below the line' and buy like, 2 shares in each of them. Come back in a few months, and see if you were right. But diversify. ALWAYS diversify. That's free risk mitigation. And never invest something you cannot afford to do without in the short-to-medium term even if you reasonably expect that longer term it'll pay off. Failing that, identify a fund that implements your desired strategy, and just buy $100 of that instead. I mean, I've gone for a world equity tracker - the Vanguard FTSE Global All Cap fund. It just buys 'everything' in proportion to the current market cap. (I mean, not literally, but pretty close). But in particular pay attention to fees - trading fees and ongoing charge - because as mentioned this is a _negative sum_ game, and if you're making 5%, but paying 1%, you're losing 20% of your expected return, and can _very easily_ flip net negative. Frequent trading can likewise do the same - every market transaction has a cost. Some platforms hide this cost in various ways, but ... it's still there, and they're not stupid - they _expect_ to make money anyway, so ask twice how they can permit free trading. But trivially buy $200 of stock with a $5 fee, and you should be _expecting_ it to take a few months to 'pay off' the transaction fee. Fixed fee diminishes if you buy more of course, but that's got it's own hazards...

What in the last 30 years of US foreign policy is meant to have me believe that Democrats would have pushed back against Israel trying to drag the US into another war in the middle east.

No-Rhubarb6312

The problem is not Iran firing back, the problem would be giving Russia and China the implicit permission to deal with local conflicts using Nuclear weapons.  Therefore there would be the risk of seeing Russia using Nuclear weapons in Ukraine, bringing UK and France to use those weapons to protect western Europe against Russia. Also we could see China using nuclear weapons against Taiwan plummeting American economy destroying the most important chips supplier of the west. And when you start seeing the use of those weapons locally you would be very near to a global escalation.

This is a pretty theory but wrong at it's very foundation. It *benefits* China to let oil prices climb and let this thing drag on longer. 1. For Pacific Island nations (like Fiji, Tonga, and New Caledonia) that are entirely dependent on diesel for both maritime transport and electricity, China can provide huge strategic reserves. China can step in as a fuel savior for basing rights and port access. This could permanently shift the balance of power in the Pacific, moving these strategically vital islands into China’s sphere of influence which would help them with their ambitions on Taiwan. 2. Increased economic pain related to oil will accelerate the transition to renewables. As the world attempts to achieve energy independence, they'll turn to China who is far and away the world’s dominant supplier of solar panels, batteries, and wind turbine components. 3. While the bulk of the rest of the world is pinched for energy, China can source as much as they please from Russia via land routes. To add to this, they are extremely resilient with their massive strategic petroleum reserve and domestic manufacturing ecosystem. Your thesis could still hold, but intervention will likely come via The UK, Japan, Italy, Australia, France who are all significantly more affected by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Given none of these countries have been recent allies of Iran, I think there's a case to be made that this thing, and the market, unravels a lot more before it gets better. We'll see.

jentle-music

Tell that to the UK, the Commonwealth, So Korea, Japan, Malaysia, etc. Wow, are you clueless, pal!

KnowTheTruthMatters

People aren't acknowledging that the straight isn't closed to Russia, India, Pakistan, France, South Africa, Turkey, Iraq, Malaysia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Oman, Qatar, and the Philippines. China reached an agreement today, and they were getting shipments through before the agreement. UK, Germany, Italy, Canada, Japan, and the UAE are trying to make deals. Maybe South Korea and Greece are missing, Saudi Arabia obviously, but that's more than enough to avoid the worst-case scenario. Sanction monitoring on China was overused and lost effect long before the war, Trump overplayed that hand. If it were completely shut, everyone's worst fears would be realized. But as things stand now, short of the US seizing Chinese boats - I mean it's Trump, so never say never - it's hard to see the full collapse.

As someone who splits time between the UK and US, it’s funny how much Americans freak out about gas prices. They’re already higher than the US in general there, but It’s averaging the equivalent of $6.10+ a gallon in the UK, and the salaries are way lower there.

I mean you are literally seeing this around the world. Trump called his allies on this war and got met with a middle finger. The UK has announced plans to move back closer to Europe.

Boomer_With_Dementia

The world is working around it's 🥭 problem. Zelensky has made security deals with Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar and Syria. He has met with Erdogan of Turkey. Italy, France, Spain, and the UK are working hard to avoid being seen as on our side in this conflict so that they can negotiate reasonably for access to goods and oil shipped through the Strait of Hormuz. China as a customer and obviously some providers have been executing oil transactions in Yuan instead of dollars. France has sided with with Russia and China against us in the security council. Not that France overall loves Russia or China, but there are points of agreement. The gulf states have learned that US guarantees of security ring hollow vs cheap drones. What this means for investing? In a recession everything drops so maybe cash gang for now. If there is some stability in the future then non US defense stocks, gold. Gold for the erosion of the dollar system. Defense stock for the end of the post WWII world order. As for mid level countries that have resources and decent economies, in North America I suspect multinationals are more likely to invest there rather than here. If the US stabilizes and our relationship with Canada stabilizes then they get the benefit of access to our market. If not, well at least they will have Canada. Developing here directly is to risky given 🥭 chaos. I assume we are seeing the development of alliances and arrangements to work around the US in all ways, financial and defense wise.

Holidays in much of Europe and UK = let's Uber pump on zero volume

Key-Appointment1064

For context I’m a US/EU dual citizen and travel frequently between both. Europe is in shambles. Swiss francs are somewhat independent of massive EU regulatory hurdles and the ECB’s years of “zero-interest policy.” Europe has some very incompetent leaders who have caused Europe’s economy to become anemic. German car industry, which is a motor of Europe and Germany, is struggling like never before. Energy prices are the highest they’ve ever been since COVID and will continue to rise once the real oil shock hits and the last remaining GCS energy arrives in Europe. Aside from a bit a few gas and oil fields in Norway and UK, Europe imports all of their energy. Gasoline in Germany is currently close to €2.50/l, around $10/gal. Diesel is already past that. Hitting Nordstream was one of the worst decisions that the west ever made. Right now, we could have pressured Russia to the negotiating table. Europe needs Russian oil, and if the idiotic Zelenskyy US puppet state hadn’t blown up nordstream, Europe would be in way less of a mess.

Putney_debates

You can’t compare the USA with Europe as many posters have pointed out the tax in Europe is very high which means that while prices have risen by the same amount, the starting point was higher in Europe. But take a look at US vs Russia. Russia is (like US) a net exporter, but there the govt caps how much their oil companies can charge the domestic market. I.e. their govt interferes with capitalism. If that happened in the US, the oil companies would just export more and sell less to domestic market. Theoretically the US producers are making out like bandits as their production and export is unaffected, their costs are static and their sales price is almost doubled. If I was a cynic, I’d say the oil bros are in cahoots with the president, egging him on to start this war, so they can all buy a new yacht. Here in the UK we tax the shit out of “excessive” oil company profits, better for the taxpayer but ultimately they stop producing in the UK and move their HQ abroad (not good)

macaroni_chacarroni

Yeah yeah, but the reason for hating the word is its selective application to the level it becomes pretty useless. Nowhere in mainstream media is Ukraine called a proxy of the UK or the US, or the GCC countries are called proxies of the US. Proxy implies a mindless controlled stooge, and "having proxies" is a label reserved for the bad guys, while "having allies" is a label reserved for the good guys.

shitholejedi

There was no extensive campaign by any of those parties. The US sent out one carrier and a targeted bombing attacks on Houthi leadership and hotspots and it all subsided.

Many countries, like the UK have a fixed fuel duty applied to every litre of petrol at the pumps. Plus we have a variable rate VAT added too. So when the cost of the underlying petrol goes up, the fixed cost fuel duty element of the overall price effectively dilutes the overall %age rise.

_SirShackleton_

For pure gas plays I tend to invest in quality leaders like EQT. They are not cheap tho unfortunately. If you want an underdog have a look at Harbour Energy Plc, great gas assets in NorthSea and super low lifting costs in the british/norwegian coast shelf. They recently acquired longlife oil assets from LLOG in the Gulf of Mexico so they have assets in multiple markets opening arbitrage options. FCF will be insane. Coterra is a nice mixed play in my opinion. They will merge with Devon and have a decent amount of gas in their future portfolio. Long term LNG deals with UK linked to TTF pricing. Personally i hold CVX, DVN, EOG and OXY.

It’s not accurate, in the UK and Ireland prices have increased about 45% or so
