I'm a Brit. We spell it with a c **Defence** and **defense** are two spellings of the exact same noun, meaning protection, a legal plea, or a sports tactic. The choice simply comes down to regional spelling rules: **defence** (with a "c") is standard in British English (UK, Australia, Canada), while **defense** (with an "s") is used in American English

Nitpicking here, but this: \> Feds are expected to raise interest rates, making bonds more attractive. And this: \> Another aspect is that Gold is traded in USD, and the currency seems to be strengthening right now Aren’t “different aspects”, they’re the exact same thing. USD strengthens because people sell other stuff to buy USD (that they need to buy the now higher-yielding treasuries). The drop in the dollar price of gold has nothing to do with “gold being traded in USD”. You’d see the exact same thing if you looked at the price of gold in GBP when UK inflation surprises to the upside. Doesn’t mean that “gold is traded in GBP” either. Gold isn’t “traded in” anything, it’s just gold. It has a price in USD, and a price in GBP, and a price in EUR, …, even a price in AMZN shares if you find some platform crazy enough that it lets you exchange AMZN shares for gold. \_\_P.S.\_\_ also minor point, but it’s not “Feds are expected to raise interest rates”. At the moment, the FBI has no power over interest rates, and I hope that’s not changing any time soon. It’s “the Fed is expected to raise interest rates”. There is only one Federal Reserve System.

I put a bit in take two, I feel the buzz coming end June right to nov launch will see a steady increase in stock value. Everyone i talk to had gta on their shopping list and rockstar normally do produce a polished game, the delay from may to nov is a good sign im sure we wont get some buggy crap lile the initial cyberpunk 2077 game. What do you mean on this statement though.. “Only thing that scares me is take two being part of the spy and if market crash finally happens GTA devs being in UK won't save this stock”

Some poor schmucks are gonna get market orders filled at an insane price on IPO day and become instant bagholders for months/years. I'm in the UK and my brokerage today offered me a "pre-order" for spacex, never seen that before. Looking into it, it looks like a queue for market orders on IPO day. No limit order, just get in the queue and wait for your order to be filled apparently...

TB and brucellosis used to be widespread here up until the 1960's (my aunt did from TB at 16), not to mention the BSE outbreak in the UK in the 80's/90's, so the Department absolutely do not mess around with this. Every herd gets tested regularly for TB, and *every single animal* over four years old must be tested for BSE before processing or disposal. (The vets slice open the skulls and take a scoop of brain tissue from the brain stem to send to a lab). We haven't had a positive case of BSE in almost thirty years, but testing for it hasn't let up one jot. Not that I'm complaining, it's what keeps me in a full time job.

Fair question. I'm not finding what I remember finding last time on a cursory pre-work search, but the CPA Journal suggest the longer term decision making is a proposed benefit that doesn't change with research. I appear to have mixed it up in my memory with what I'm remembering from the source I found before that I can't find now. Citation from the CPA journal: * Nallareddy, Pozen, and Rajgopal found that when the United Kingdom changed public companies’ required public reporting frequency, it virtually did not impact companies’ internal investment decisions (“Consequences of More Frequent Reporting: The UK Experience,” *Journal of Law, Finance, and Accounting*, vol. 6, no. 1, pp.51–88, 2021).

I know a farmer in the UK. Quite well off... Anyway - the story here is that this farmer is a futures trader. Yeah - he grows stuff, but the biggest part of his business is managing the prices he gets for his crops - so 80% of his day is buying and selling option contracts on the stuff he produces. He explained to me that when he took over from his Dad - they were at the mercy of spot pricing, and nearly went bankrupt several times, so he learned the markets which helps him to normalize his revenue stream and also to anticipate what he should plant. He often sells a contract a year or more before he even plants. Dude was very cool. Kinda a cross between a country farmer and a stock broker. He knew his shit too.

Chiming in from UK here; Live Cattle commodities are seriously going to pop like Silver last year. There is no farmer or producer who see a reduction in the cost of raising or even keeping cattle alive for the foreseeable future - water, fertiliser, arable land, diseases are all going to become more problematic. Most countries are going to get heatwaves from super el Nino. By-products of cattle; leather, proteins milk etc are also essential to major industries. e.g. for a company like McDonalds, they HAVE to pay the market price regardless for their staple business to exist. https://preview.redd.it/0t0qbihzx56h1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=f10161e1e1ed5b75b230a3cdd963221b63bb99d5

Plausible, this is exactly how most nuclear power stations operate and why they're situated close to huge bodies of water. Hinkley point c for example, here in the UK. 2 intake tunnels stretching out to sea, with a single outfall tunnel. I dont know enough about what's capable offshore, but perhaps you could cool the centres better if they were fully submersed, but then they'd need a power supply, either something on location, be it nuclear/wind/wave/solar, or a power supply linked to shore. Idk. Its late and im thinking out loud 😂

The oil spike and market crash is only a matter of time. Best case scenario for a fast reopening (which wouldn’t actually save us because it is already too late to avoid a shit show) appears to be Iran charging tolls, which would require the US, EU, and UK to remove their sanctions on Iran and remove the IRGC’s terrorist organization designation. If you think that’s ever going to happen, let alone happen in a matter of days or weeks, I have an MOU to sell you.

Flutter already started market making for major 3rd party predictions market CEO confirmed at JPMorgan fireside chat. Probably hood or kalshi. They own the betfair exchange since decades which is the same as prediction market but with odds a p2p gambling exchange platform with Back vs Lay. Aka Yes vs No. They are natural fit for market making in the sports theme of predictions. They already in beta mode for launching probably the 1st UK prediction markets called Betfair predicts.. You get a company the number 1 in the sector for ev/ebitda 10, p/s 1, ev/revenue 1,5. Still growing 17%. This is a complicated company for most retail investor... Fox has an 18% call option in Fanduel only till 2030 for 4,5B at current prices compound escalator of 5% annually. Which Fox plans to trigger as they claim they don't leave 2B on the table ( words by Fox CEO) so he Values only Fanduel more than 25B-30B for sure and the whole Flutter is currently at 26B EV with 16B market cap and 10B net debt. Of course for Fox to be able to have this call option triggered they need licenses in all jurisdictions. But Iike I said this is a complicated company in a complicated segment lots of M&A and ESG etc. Not to mention Flutter will join the S&P 500 I think within the next 1-2 years max onve they have 4 quarters consecutive Gaap earnings in positive. They moved to the US primary listing not for vanity from London. If Flutter prints base case a 25B revenue With 20% Ebitda margin with a 10x conservative ev/ebitda we looking at 50B EV minus keeping 10B debt thats 40B equity value. That's 150% return on a conservative base case. If Flutter pays down 5B debt in the next 3-5 years we look at 45B equity value a close to 200%. Still a modes base case. This is why Dart is buying heavy. Bull case can go a lot lot higher 300-500%+ Both revenue and margins but I think higher revenue is a more realistic scenario than 25%+ ebitda margins.(due to state taxes) If they can shrink float significantly next 1-2 years and cut costs and US matures with DKNG and Fanduel duopoly no more promo wars, NY amd other states igaming legalizing. ( No Calc for CA and TX as those are extremely unrealistic and an extreme bull case scenario) hit 21-26 eps with a 20- 25x PE multiple. Or they hit 28B revenue with 25% Ebitda margins 7B ebitda with a still conservative 10-12x ev/ebitda thatsa 70-84B EV with a 15x Ev/ebitda 105B EV. Bear case is stagnation with various metrics 70-150$ price. Assimetric risk reward. So even mathematically this company is mispriced to the bear case currently, plus I assume Dart knows things we don't and has intel infos or even more detailed analysis bh his lawyers and analysts on further states legalizing based on state deficits etc. At the current market it's rare to find these type of mispriced assets.

biglebowskidude

ELF Beauty — Comprehensive Breakdown Down 67% from 52-week high ($150 → $49). Is this opportunity or value trap? The business is actually solid: • Gen-Z brand with genuine TikTok virality (organic, not paid) • DTC margins 65-70% - best in class for affordable cosmetics • "Affordable luxury" positioning perfect for this economy • International expansion (UK, Canada, Europe) still early innings Why the stock got crushed: • Grew 50%+ for years - market priced in hypergrowth forever • Now growing 20-30% - still great, but multiple compressed hard • Wholesale deceleration at Target/Walmart is the real concern • Lower-income consumer softness hitting core demographic The key question: Is 67% drawdown a fundamental business problem or a valuation reset on a still-growing brand? Verdict: Business model is intact. The selloff looks like multiple compression on growth deceleration, not business deterioration. At current prices the risk/reward is interesting - but confirm next earnings before touching it.

Bernie is basically a communist, rationalizing industries and distributing the profits among the people is classic communism. It's why we knocked over so many governments after WWII, they tried to nationalize industries that were owned by US and UK companies.

FullOf_Bad_Ideas

I hope nobody sold ETFs because of his previous videos on Iran war. Doomerism sells well on YT and Reddit, but it's often a poor investment strategy. Sometimes the metrics he chooses are also cherry-picked to paint a narrative and it skips over rational explanations that would make his case weaker. This video on NZ seems good on a first glance and it makes a lot of well known observations about HCOL cities making high-paying jobs inefficient, but I don't understand why he acts as if citizens aren't able to build new housing on their own in NZ if they want to. I don't think building a house in NZ is impossible, government doesn't have monopoly on it. I think comparing price of an apartment to a house in London specifically is not reasonable - London is just 15% of UK, apartments can have high square footage too, prices of apartments lowering is a good thing for people interested in living in London, and building a new house in London is something that's obviously would be challenging due to lack of space. Not everyone will afford a house in London, I think this was well understood even 30 years ago.

Smaxter84

Hype stocks aren't my style. I'm doing just fine though thanks. I prefer to buy undervalued companies on low multiples, with decent profits who distribute to share holders. I bought Rolls Royce and some cruise line stocks during Covid (long sold - I can't believe how high RR has gone - I got out at 600p), and UK banks 2 years ago. Bought a load of cheap oil stocks and miners 12 months ago while commodities were out of favour and oil was cheap. I'm loaded up on renewable energy trusts at the moment, yields over 10% and discounts to nav value in the 30% region. Looks like they may just be turning a corner. I'm heavily into a lot of income earning UK trusts in particular, REITS and EM (excluding tech heavy) in particular due to the historically very high NAV discounts. Done very well in Latin America over the past 6 months too - looked very cheap and so it turned out to be. When the oil crises ends, Turkey ETF looks like a chancy but potentially very lucrative shout. Can the currency keep dropping ? Recovery against the dollar would result in a very nice upside.

Zestyclose-Abroad453

My initial view on the company with some of the people on board and the contacts they had... as well as the tech companies they had been working (Google)...it seemed like it had been created with a view to fill a pre determined market gap. Add in the addition appointment of Andrew Roughan as the CEO.... Look at the work he did at Plexel.. the partnerships formed there and the companies they worked with, the growth there. Why would he leave such a successful company for this tiny one, unless he was Highly incentivised with Shares at 3 tranches that I expect will be exercised at many multiples of their value. Also UK is aware it needs to up it's spending on defense given the world we find our selves in today.

gagagagaNope

No they do not. They care about regulation, rules and restriction. Everything that keeps them in control and makes them money taken from the pockets of taxpayers. We have leaked messages this week from the UK government asking what they can tax, just so they can spend more. Not a need identified that needs meeting, actually starting with tax and worrying about what it's for later. All of the dumb europeans raging at Trump for tariffs have zero concept they live in one gigantic tariff bubble. Trump kicked off over tariffs on cars - 2% into the US vs 10% (plus a whole ton of tax and regulation) into the EU. Maybe look at the endless power grabs the EU and ECJ have made over the past 20 years - endless centralisation that was never put to EU citizens, or when it was and rejected (in some cases multiple times) was pushed through anyway.

Electrical_Panda_326

Nah man, I wouldn't touch any short in current market, especially leveraged. I'm fine with eventually selling and waiting until it drops again if you feel that it might. But leveraged short is a death sentence these days. I bought 3x short for FTSE100 UK last year, as after a ride I felt like there is literally zero chance for it to go further up. But it did, thank God something happened, I think another wave of Trumps tarrifs and it dropped for a moment so I managed to sell with "only" £2k loss. After that it went up from 8500 to nearly 11000 pretty much non stop when the economy of the UK is a joke at this point. Stay away from shorts in current market, you might get lucky once or twice, but shorting SP500 or Nasdaq is as retarded as it can be.

Prestigious-Bet8097

I used to have a few stocks that relied on UK consumers. Ordinary people being able to buy things. Food. Clothing. Housing. That sort of thing. Dumped them all. UK people are poorer than they were in 2008 and are getting poorer every year. They just don't have any money to spend. The US consumer is by no means in a situation as bad as the UK, but the model is the same; wealth is harvested from working people before they even get the chance to see it.  The wealth is still there; it's just in the hands of rich people. So buy stocks in companies that rely on rich people rather than poor people; stocks that rely on business buying rather than consumer. I'm on WSB discussing market strategy. What's wrong with me? Calls. Just buy more calls, my degenerate compadres.

This is why China is going to eat USA lunch. They give a fuck about their people and building infrastructure for them. I advise everyone to go see China. The elite are making complete wankers of us all in the supposed ‘free west’. We are now the impoverished, hospitals schools infrastructure falling apart. Greed corruption and complete ineptitude in government - both sides. Oh and it’s all limited to two sides, and both are completely useless - same in UK or USA.

Hell yeah. Dump that shit. Time to establish United States of Europe. Not inviting the UK though. They stink.

SpaceX lists on Nasdaq June 12 under ticker SPCX at a fixed IPO price of $135/share, valuing the company at $1.77 trillion.  Biggest IPO ever. IBKR just opened pre-IPO access, but only through their UK entity. The offering period runs June 4 through 6 PM on June 10, and participation is limited to clients who are tax resident and located in the United Kingdom.  Since you’re based in Brazil, the pre-IPO allocation won’t be available to you through IBKR. Once SPCX starts trading on the Nasdaq, any standard brokerage including Interactive Brokers can place the order.  So you’d be buying at the open price, not the $135 offer price. Worth noting: SpaceX’s xAI subsidiary burned $7.72 billion in Q1 2026 alone and showed a $2.47 billion operating loss in the same period.  The Starlink business is solid, but the AI unit is hemorrhaging cash. First quarterly earnings (10-Q) won’t come until around November 2026, so you’d be flying somewhat blind on financials for a few months. I’m not a financial advisor, so this isn’t a recommendation either way. Just the facts to help you decide.

I really like this company. The members of the board and the ex chief of staff of the UK military being a non-executive board member all point to this being a very serious venture I’m in for 81,000 shares @ 1.55 avg. Been accumulating since September

Yeah I've had three e-mails from Freetrade in the UK about it already, not the usual. Didn't get that kind of push for Cerebras, so definitely feels like they're pushing it.

Depends which country you are in. If UK or U.S, you can apply for pre-IPO (at IPO price) shares and then very likely make a quick profit on first day pop, depending on how over-subscribed the IPO is.

Diesel is £1.89 a litre in the UK. That orange twat has a lot to answer for. You are prob right to some extent on the energy. But the UK ran on 50 percent renewables in 2025. That number is only going to go up. Advanced economies not run by petulant corrupt toddlers are trying move away from burning dinosaurs.

The biggest injustice in UK is when you pay £2 to play an instant win lotto game, win £2 but don't get your buy in back

With the negative sentiment towards Palantir in the UK, Defence Holdings may yet have the capability to fill that gap should people say a "British company" should hold the contracts Palantir currently has with the NHS and other companies

yes? India is 6th largest economy by GDP, has a bigger stock market than UK or France; and has the world's largest derivatives market.

With trillions on hand you could probably work out a deal with the UK or France… or India or Pakistan for them to allow you to build or for them to build for you a floating (meaning a boat with a reactor). Nuclear subs and carriers are not new or exotic, right? And these countries are signatories to the non-proliferation-treaty so they are entitled to have these even if they do not currently. It could even be a one-for-me-one for you type of deal. Of course I’m talking out of my ass, but does it really seem as crazy as Elon’s orbiting servers ideas?

Racism is part of it but more importantly the language. English is a very common second language across the world and therefore English speaking countries attract many more immigrants. Germany despite having a better economy than say UK gets much less non-white immigrants.
