To hell with Spain UK next

Enough_Summer7073

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.*

Buy back the difference and bed and breakfast or is that only UK?

confettofetti

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.

absolutemurphman

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.

Dependent-Panic-9457

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

strolls

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

Independent_Term5790

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.

M4roon

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.

SpeedLongjumping6436

This is a UK poll, who gives 2 shits!

long_don0van

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.

Technical_Shopping58

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.

swoopsta_the_third

Thanks Americans. Now my UK gas bills about to double because you voted in an orange fuckwit. Like life wasn't hard enough already.

Orange_Codex

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%.

Burgerb

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."

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

RamCockUpMyAss

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

Kappa_Bera_0000

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.

jrex035

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.

Knowledge_1

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.

PapiGoneGamer

UK parliament just authorized US forces to use their bases in the Middle East to launch strikes against Iran.

SpringLong7259

*"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.

They had/have a cult following. But a lot of people kinda started mocking them for going too hard with their marketing tactics. At least that’s the vibe I’ve had over the years of chatting it up with UK friends. I find it more interesting that Tilray is becoming big alcohol. It’s still a very long and uncertain road. The anti-alcohol movement is pretty substantial. You pretty much need progressive wellness trends to go invisible in order to slow it down imo. Or continued economic strife lol

On top of that india took complete advantage of the political chaos trump caused everyone. they signed a free trade agreement with the EU, UK, NZ, and Oman since like last summer. Carney said he wanted a FTA with india done by this year. something nobody thought was even on the table 6 months ago. it's honestly kinda impressive to see

mate they don’t pay for medical insurance with a lot of these compsci jobs, they get family cover WITH the job, their income can be up to 3-6x more salary than what we get in the UK so the university fees thing isn’t really an issue either considering that could be potentially 20-30yrs down the line as a grad, they have much more scholarship opportunity too if it is an issue.

I'm sameish age and cash holding as you and I sold like 60% of my portfolio (all equities) on Thursday, so feeling like that was a stroke of luck right now, and probably gonna do what you're gonna do. Core-Satellite is the best way to go imo. I'll go like 60% global ETF. I'm looking at a L&G one since im in the UK and my broker offers a discounted fee on it. Then I have an actively managed growth fund, WS Blue Whale with a manager I trust where I'll put like 20% in. Then the rest in a defence fund I've been holding since Ukraine war, a global healthcare ETF. Then maybe a cybersecurity or uranium ETF. But I'm uncertain about those ETF picks and want to wait until market conditions are less volatile. I also had a gold holding which was like 2% of my portfolio which I got in march last year, made a 50% and just sold that before this weekend which looks like it won't be a great move but that will pale in comparison to the savings I made by selling off my equities when I did. Ultimately, gold is a hedge. It's a bet against inflation and a perfect spot for cash you don't need immediately, but that might be useful as an option to draw funds from (if you need, for whatever reason) during a market crash to shield you from having to draw from positions in the red. Personally I'm not planning on buying more since I feel that I have enough cash in the short-term to prevent me needing to draw from these savings and the growth outlook of my money is better at 100% equities. Equities will always outperform commodities in the long-term. The recent boom (70% annual gain) provided profit opportunities but that's far from the norm. I think gold has reached its new price floor of around $5000 now and it will go up a bit during this war and then come down again afterwards, then just continue moving along steadily. Also, the fact that it seems like everyone is talking about gold right now is an indicator in itself that retail investors have all boarded the train and the market has reached a local top.

LookIntoTheHorizon

I've read a story on a YT video. A German woman escaped Germany when the Nazi party came to power. She was barely able to flee and had nothing when she came to the US. She had to pick up cotton for two full years to pay off her passage fare. That's how broke she was. Imagine how much anger in her heart against the Nazi party. Still, people give you a look when you open your mouth and peak in a German accent in the wartime. Germans arrived in the US weren't all well off; it always had been from the 17th century German migrants fleeing from the 30-years war, to the Hessian POWs, to the escapees like her before the WW2, to the German POWs, and to the German migrants after the WW2. I simply cannot fathom how their descendants came to raise their hand for "Sieg Heil". Back to her. She bore a son, and he became a staunch MAGA, and his wife lamented on a YT video. Fascism never has been the problem of a particular migrant or ethnic group. There were Nazi sympathizers in the UK such as Edward VIII, the Duke of Windsor. I believe Fascism (aka "We hate *you*, proudly!") is an issue of mind.

I don’t know, you didn’t go to highschool or college? They were a tiny tiny fraction of America, and that was their biggest rally. The government actively put out anti Nazi propaganda to fight them, and the UK had the same issue with fascists leading up to entry… We also created the eugenics movement for “better” babies, had contests for best families at state fairs, and sterilized special needs people related to it in a couple states in the 1930s. But when the Nazis went wild with eugenics it quickly became very very unpopular in the US. Anyway, there is a movement I’ve noticed really in the last week on Reddit to try and rewrite America as being pro Nazi in WW2, and avoiding the war, and it isn’t the case. I hate it here too right now, but don’t do our grandparents and great grandparents a disservice. They were antifa just as much as we are. and they died for it. And FDR wanted to enter the war earlier, but American isolationism (as a result of worthless deaths in the Great War) made that untenable at the onset. We did however build between 647 Billion and 1 Trillion dollars (in today’s money) of weapons and supplies as part of the lend lease program— and that aide didnt go to Germany…
