I sold my position today, but I have an autobuy set up to short the stock when it hits 8.10. I'm trading via a CFD account on trading 212 as that's the only way I can figure out how to short things in the UK. It's leveraged shares/margins rather than calls/options. I had great luck shorting Wendy's at the 8.80 peak pre-halt yesterday. https://preview.redd.it/q94shn8efq9h1.png?width=1079&format=png&auto=webp&s=d58571189c164a6340c0c46050ffdc17c50dcc73

Outstanding shares is around 400 million. The CEO/owner owns over half of shares so 50% is locked up (as he is not going to sell below 50% ownership) Public float is more like 200 million with 50 million shares shorted. So interest is probably closer to 20%. Institutions hold about 40-50milliom shares as well. So public float even lower with institutions. (A lot of institutions bought around $4) Cost to borrow has been over 50-100% APR for about 10 days now. Not a lot of shares available. High call options for July 17. Revenue exploding YoY. Should announce profitable this H1 or H2 (only reports twice a year because UK company). Share buy back goes into vote in June 30 then can start buying back shares around Aug.

Mothercare… no idea but a big fancy suiss bank just bought a big stake in the previous UK giant. Pension problems but I believe they have the right model going forward. Shares are about 1p (0.014c). Might go bankrupt thought. Got 20,000 shares as a punt. Can’t see it exploding in the next few months to be fair. Next announcement is likely Sept 26.

Does the USA mainly have DB pensions then rather than DC pensions? Just curious as a UK resident where the vast majority of people now have DC schemes as DB schemes have proven to be too expensive due to people living longer than expected.

I'm also heavy in ALRT. The announced MoD contract is a trial which, if successful, could lead to much larger contracts. SImilar companies have had MoD trial contracts which then evolved into long-term contracts worth 30x as much. Their accelerator program is backed by Oracle who are pushing companies towards signing up for it. They have connections with the UK gov, NATO and hyperscalers. Easily the biggest potential upside of my portfolio. Holding 80k shares at 2p average.

European countries have terrible public finances and their voters will not make the sacrifices necessary for heavier defence spending, France in particular is having these problems, also UK. German industry is having a massive china problem which will preoccupy them more and more. Only eastern euro countries like Poland are taking defence seriously.

Hiya. Can you invest in UK-listed companies on the LSE? If so, I'm personally continuing to add to First Class Metals, a gold exploration company with projects in Ontario, Canada. What attracts me is the number of potential catalysts over the next few months. The company is progressing exploration at Sunbeam, Roy and Pettigrew, while also advancing what could be a genuinely innovative funding model through its binding agreement with nGRND for the Kerrs Gold project. The aim is to generate non-dilutive funding while FCM retains ownership of the underlying mineral rights. A lot of investors are discussing the possibility that the nGRND deal could ultimately bring in somewhere around £7-10 million in cash, although that figure is market speculation rather than a company-confirmed amount. If it were to be in that sort of range, it would be transformational for a company of FCM's size, providing funding to accelerate exploration without the need for significant dilution. For me, that's what makes the investment case interesting. You have multiple gold projects with ongoing exploration, several potential news catalysts ahead, and a funding model that could unlock value in a different way to most junior explorers. It's still a high-risk exploration company and success is never guaranteed, but I think the risk versus reward looks very attractive at the current valuation. As always, do your own research. They are moving to tokenising in ground gold

Damtomillion

There is a simple argument for Rheinmetall. Germany is one of the G20 countries with the least national debt (1/2 of US and 1/4 of Japan) and best credit rating. It can simply get as much credit for defence build up to counter the Russian threats as its needs- without killing the social peace in the country. In stark contrast to France and UK. Rheinmetal as largest German Defence contractor is the biggest recipient. Beside the managment if RHM is outstanding clever. P.S. Im invested and conviced and bought more yesterday.

Here4Snow

Is English your native language? Because you've missed a few words. Wealth is for a better future. Greed is for right now, immediate gratification.  Not spending mindlessly, but being "mindful" of your decisions with spending.  "I literally invest everything because I have NOTHING else in my life." That's not true, stop belittling yourself. You could throw it away downtown every night and rent temporary friends. When the money is gone, so are they.  You respect yourself for what you can accomplish, and do not need flash to dazzle people. A lot of people think too much about what others might think about ourselves. If you get to know them, it turns out they're just trying to survive day to day insanity and troubles, like a lot of us. They really don't think about your life, unless you are in trouble. That's when you find out who are your true friends, and money doesn't have anything to do with it. There was a TV show in the UK with a good looking woman and a fat short balding man. When they marry, her friends are confused. She tells them, "He may look like a frog, but he's my frog for life." No need to be judgemental.  You need to enjoy your life more. That doesn't mean spending. It means, get out of your head, start living with your heart. You can't be worthy of anyone else's love if you aren't worthy of your own. 

Waiting4Reccession

Its my opinion that such differences are just part of a larger normalization that's happening. Every country in the west has a slightly different flavor of police state encroachment, but over time they will all converge. You can see how the UK has now forced through their "social media ban" for under 16, which is the same as what Australia did a year or two back. Its really just to anonymize internet usage and tie everything to real ID

I hate that I‘m responding to this ragebait but wtf are you talking about? Mention pickpockets when talking about crime lmao yeah I get that you wanna do that when the America‘s have the highest murder rate in the world and Europe has by far the lowest. Let’s keep focusing on petty crime in Italy (not sure why you talk about pickpockets in particular if you’ve been to France, UK and Germany which do not have specifically high pickpocket rates. But we all get that you base your opinion off of Reddit posts lmao) rather than murder in Baltimore (historic low is x25 the murder rate of Germany). And let’s not start about human trafficking and other serious crime in Asia, especially Southeast Asia. To even entertain the comparison with Europe is laughable in itself.

I'm still making the decision but not having to write a coherent reply.

It's the same everywhere. I'm in the UK, if you have your assets grow you can defer a lot of the tax implications using life insurance policies and structuring. You'll barely ever have to actually realise any positions and incur tax unless you're buying something massive. But if you earn your income via work? Boy you get fucked royally. There's a slice of income, between 100k and 125k where they take away your tax free allowance, meaning that your marginal rate of tax is 60% for that. It's like they designed the system to stop people being able to earn their way to financial independence.

They have a horrible track record on the financial side. This is one of those companies where you have to believe in the tech, and you are helping them finance the business to get to a next phase. (Which is what investing is). The tech is unique in manoeuvrability of the robotic (payload) arm. And the AI toolKITT on the software side, that can be installed on any vessel. The very interesting development now is: they brought in Brian Allen. Former CEO of Beam, UK based subsea robotics and AI company. He is currently serving as the revenue officer and is focussed on using his contacts on making ToolKITT software deals. Of which he sees a true market opportunity based on his experience. Software has good margins and would stabilize the balance sheet, and becoming less season dependent. It would also mean partnerships with other companies in the subsea space. This would be a major catalyst. And would probably position him to become CEO of KITT, seeing Gibson already alluded to somebody younger taking the wheel. So Allen has to prove himself first, to (potential) shareholders. He is driven, and has higher energy than management has shown so far. A second catalyst is the DIU application, which is building on their previous DIU contract for demining with the VideoRay defender. DoW momentum for sea and subsea technology is strengthening. Still early days, but it will become inevitable. Third catalyst: 2027 Oil and Gas. This is Gibsons' forte, coming from that sector. Due to high oil prices this year, the oil and gas sector will spend the made money in 2027 on business expansion. KITT is positioned to benefit from this. They already work with Shell, and had/have a relationship with Petrobas. So yes, it looks gloomy. But based on the internals and the tech, it could be one to turnover quickly.

I’d suggest holding around 2,300 companies across roughly 47 countries. Weight them something like: • US 63% • Japan 5% • UK 3% • China 3% • Canada 3% • France 2.5% • Switzerland 2% • Germany 2% • Rest of the world 16.5% Then make sure your sector allocation stays close to: • Information Technology 24% • Financials 16% • Industrials 11% • Healthcare 10% • Consumer Discretionary 10% • Communication Services 8% • Everything else 21% After that, just keep track of all constituent changes, earnings, mergers, bankruptcies and market cap movements, and rebalance periodically. Should be fairly straightforward.

JD Vance has admitted that several issues remain with the Iran peace deal ahead of G7 discussions on the Middle East. A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between the US and Iran on Sunday in a deal that paves the way to end the war. The US vp said the agreement was “very general” and “about a page and a half”, but added that 🌮 could release the deal before Friday. He told CNN: “On a number of issues, we are going to have to figure this stuff out during the technical negotiation phase, but what the MoU does is set up a framework whereby the Iranians get the benefits of the bargain by meeting their obligations under the bargain.” UK telegraph LMFAO it's an agreement that any agreement they reach will definitely be an agreement I have never felt more comfortable holding bags than I feel with my oil producer longs

Can someone explain to me how states truly know how much taxes I owe them in a situation where I have capital gains tax in one country but is a tax resident of another? I've been forced to sell my stock portfolio in UK as I'm now a US resident (Freetrade doesn't allow me to have an account with them as a US resident). How does US know how much stocks I sold in UK and what gains I had? Does Freetrade share that information with them or how does things like that work?

Electrical_Panda_326

Let me give you an example from the UK in my field. Back in 2010 an average Project Manager in construction was earning around £50k. You were the king with that salary. Today, 16 years later they offer £55k-£58k. I don't have to explain the difference in cost of living between 2010 and 2026. 2008 was the end of the West IMO, becase the West decided to breach the rule that built it's power, they didn't let badly managed companies collapse and be taken over by companies that are better managed. Instead they decided to save them. Something like that might work short term, but have got very had long term consequences.

Just when you think Meta might be able to ride the tailwinds of a quasi peace agreement between the US and Iran… the UK bans social media for teens under 16. You can’t go a day without some bad news for Meta.

Social media banned for kids in UK. Meta gonna keep spiralling

kaapooj

>The government [of UK] plans to use the same model for a social media ban as Australia. This would capture user-to-user platforms, whose purpose is to enable social interaction and which allow users to post material, alongside algorithms. The ban will therefore include platforms like Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and X. We do not intend for messaging services like WhatsApp and Signal to be included in the social media ban. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/social-media-to-be-banned-for-under-16s-in-landmark-government-move-to-givekids-their-childhood-back

UpsetKoalaBear

I mean, the SIPP/S&S ISA is a UK thing exclusively. However, for the other Europoors, the reason is probably because most other wrappers have rules against international investment outside of the EU (unlike the UK ones). My guess is that most of those 5x leverage shares are effectively a proxy from Europe to avoid the international investment rules on their investment wrappers.

floppysausage16

If you aren't buying ALRT, youre gonna miss out. Im willing to be the UK government are gonna contract Defense Holdings to regulate the new social media ban for U16s. Up 14% now... but a whole lot more to go.

Crowleyer

Haha thanks mate! For the last few years, I've been living in the UK. That helped a lot.  Overall, we (Poles) are improving, but its still hard to master English when all people around you speak the same local language. 

milkplantation

Because it's their big tobacco moment. Australia, Canada, France, Spain, Indonesia, UK, Denmark, Greece, Slovenia are all implementing nationwide bans on social media for children under 16. The Bull case is Phillip Morris or Altria after the major litigation. The bear case is that big tobacco generated pure cash with minimal capex required, whereas Meta's business model requires aggressive reinvestment to survive the next tech wave.

MAXSuicide

>How are young people supposed to build up capital for retirement? As with the rest of how society has been built/political decisions (or indecision) - it's a ticking time bomb for younger generations.  In the UK for example, the generations under 40 are projected to be the first lot to be poorer than their parents since records began. 

UpsetKoalaBear

Nowhere is this more evident than the UK. People here in the UK do not realise that we have two of the best investment wrappers in the world. The S&S ISA and SIPP are insanely free and open: \- No lifetime cap. \- No surcharges \- No taxes on unrealised gains \- International investments \- Can sell at any time. They are even better than the 401k that Americans get. Yet, despite this, people still chuck their money into a savings account rather than a ISA/SIPP.

Grubby454

UK has it better. The ISA has an annual 20,000 pound limit. Tax free growth etc, after tax in.
