As expected. NFE DD denied as a post. Here it is. way too long for a Lounge post, but, the mods on this sub-reddit...🙄 Ok, here's the situation as I see it. Its clear from the short data that NFE is short squeeze candidate (high short interest, days to cover, borrow rate, etc.). Plenty of good DD on this can be found from other sub-reddits if you do Reddit search and I won't go into that here. What I will comment on is that an NFE short squeeze will not be like, well, SGBX for example. SGBX had an almost perfect set-up, so perfect that now in hindsight when people look at it, it looks like the data on which it was based may not have even been accurate in the first place (if it too good to be true, its not true!). In any case, the apparently perfect set-up meant that it could squeeze based on hype alone, with no outside news catalyst. NFE is not like that. Its more of "normal" set-up than the perfect set-up and the company is in such horrible financial shape that no one outside morons like us would ever touch for any reason. To induce the squeeze in NFE its going to take some kind of real news catalyst, in addition to the Reddit, Stock Twits, X, etc, hype. There was talk that NFE would release earnings/update yesterday evening. My guess is that the 25% up move yesterday was people placing their bets in advance of that news event. NFE did release some news yesterday and I've heard they filed a 10Q with the SEC but I haven't seen that and don't know that is accurate. The news they did release was positive: some minimum liquidity requirements from some lenders was removed (+ because gives NFE financial flexibility) and some debt with upcoming interest payments that NFE was not going to be able to net was moved to March. Note that last week I believe some other debt with an upcoming payment was allowed forbearance until March. All this news is positive. It shows lenders are working with NFE and it gives them more time to address their financial issues. The biggest piece needed to provide confidence in NFE though is the outcome of their UK debt restructuring (called a "scheme of arrangement"). That no information was being provided about this major piece of the puzzle is most likely the reason why NFE has given back all its AH/overnight gains, plus some more, here in the pre-market. So where at we at now? Now we are in waiting stage again. The recent news items mentioned above give a high degree of confidence that NFE is not going bankrupt in the next few months. Their lenders are clearly willing to work with them. Lenders have allowed delays of interest payments due this calendar year that would have trigger bankruptcy when NFE failed to make those payments. This is good, and we can use this to our advantage. The stock is still heavily shorted. A squeeze won't happen without a catalyst, and one probably isn't coming before years end, and maybe not in the very early part of next year either. With the stock so heavily shorted though the price can be expected to slowly decrease, with plenty of volatility too. So use that. If, I said IF, you realize the HUGE RISKS associated with an investment in NFE. If you fully accept that is very likely you will LOSE MOST OR ALL of the money you put in, then slowly buy the stock as it sinks over the coming days and weeks. The high short interest has been in place for months and there is no reason to think its going away. NFE is working through their financial issues and now has extended the timeframe they need to sort them out. With shorts still in place then in 3-4 months if NFE announces debt restructuring which preserve equity to at least some extent, then people will buy in, the price will spike, and the squeeze is on. Plus, the company itself is back from the brink and investable as a viable business concern. Folks whine in here all the time about: "Why doesn't anyone post about a stock BEFORE it pumps?". Well here's one for you. Don't put in more than you are willing to lose (cause odds are you are going to lose it), but if you have extra cash and/or are extremely risk-tolerant - NFE announces over the next 3-4 months a reasonable solution to their current financial/debt crisis sort, then folks will buy, price will spike, squeeze will be induced. Take some out for a quick profit for the squeeze, leave some in to gain from any future company growth. Be patient. This will play out over weeks and months, not days. Buy in small batches, slowly. Keep in mind the speculative nature of the stock right now and don't buy at all if that type of risk is not your wheelhouse.

No one expected good earnings. Everyone knew they would be bad. Stock pumped yesterday because people were buying to bet on news about the debt restructuring. There were a couple pieces of information about debt released yesterday, and they were positive for NFE, but the much larger issues of the UK debt restructuring was not addressed, so the stock is selling off this morning as folks now unwind those bets about debt restructuring.

Tom Lee Theory: evil traders issue more sell orders and push price lower than usual due to lack of liquidity. This problem is specifically for crypto because their exchanges are decentralised meaning one market maker cannot help the other market maker of a different platform. Stock exchanges are multi platform meaning if you cannot get your order filled via your bank in US, the UK entity of your bank can fill it for you. Crypto does not have this infrastructure. Because crypto and the normal stock market are now more correlated than historical, the liquidity drawdown affects stocks as well.

ElmoLovesGrover

Its seems odd, but that is not true. To file for a UK "scheme of arrangement", as its called, a firm needs to either headquartered in the UK or have a subsidiary or similar business domicled in the UK. Once those criteria are met they can apply for the scheme of arrangement and if accepted the resulting plan will be accepted in all EU counties, North America, Japan, South Korea, etc. The scheme of arrangement would substitute for US Chapter 11 bankruptcy. NFE does this instead of Chapter 11.

Personally I think it's fine as long as people understand what is going on, perhaps our communities should even have a responsibility to explain it via sticky posts or whatever to be honest. My take on it... If you compare sgbx and bynd for example, just as the last two pumps. The pattern is the same. Let's say on Monday the stock has been $2 for about a month. Someone will post "hey look at these shorts, if we get it to $7 by Friday they're screwed and it will go to the moon"... Which of course is usually bollox. However, it will likely push to that price give or take thanks to the social media coverage and people jumping on board. I'm in the UK, most here are in the US I guess, we had that Korean famous guy for BYND... There are lots of people buying to pump it, all over the world. So, how do we play it? If you spot that Monday post on Monday when it's still about $2, why not have a punt (as long as you're sensible pot percentage wise). Worst case, the post doesn't spread and the stock is exactly the same as choosing a bad stock yourself. You lose whatever else you could have been invested in instead. Unless it's a company literally going bankrupt tomorrow, do some due diligence. Maybe you see the post on Tuesday when it's jumped from $2 to $4 already. By then, you're already in risky territory. Sgbx went to 8... But how much social media spread will this post get? It could do the same, maybe that's it and it will drop to $2 again. After that, Wednesday perhaps, it's at $4+... OP said $7, if it reaches $8 then I make a 100% gain which sounds good still... Unless it drops back down and you're getting 50C on the dollar. Double or nothing is roulette table stuff, not investing. Anything after that, you are bound to be a bag holder, and for the Monday crew, thanks for the final pump as they got out. All along, OP probably got out at $4-5 to be safe and already figuring out which stock to play us with next. And all of the above, that's the current trend. The next pump? Maybe people understand what's going on, they watch like hawks and what was a Monday to Thursday pump is now Monday to Tuesday, or Monday lunch. Things change. The most important thing for me, don't be naive. These are not the insights of some amazing market prediction wizard, if they were they'd be sitting in a bank getting paid far more than you can imagine. These are social media wizards, bots spreading their gossip and manipulating people to jump on their bus. That's fine, as long as you're only onboard for a short stop up the hill, don't risk hanging around until the brakes fail going down the other side.

Nope sorry your entire comment is pure emotion, denial and a complete disconnect from reality. It’s just so sad watching some of yall dance around in denial. Let’s just focus on the first comment: Blowing up random boats (surgical GTFO) in the Caribbean Sea with zero evidence is terrorism. The vast majority of fentanyl come from Mexico produced by non government cartels as well as China through Mail services. Here is a DEA report from 2020 that doesn’t even list Venezuela because Venezuela was never EVER known for fentanyl trafficking. There’s a reason why the UK decided to cut all drug intelligence sharing with America. They know it’s completely illegal and most likely an attempt to provoke Venezuela into a war. https://www.dea.gov/sites/default/files/2020-03/DEA_GOV_DIR-008-20%20Fentanyl%20Flow%20in%20the%20United%20States_0.pdf The IRONY of this entire thing being that if Trump captured these supposed narco terrorists, arrested them, got a confession he could then parade then on TV and garner a very needed win for his administration. People would 100% support that. But Trump and his administration are so stupid that they don’t see the opportunity and have decided to blow up random people in international waters.

SM&P is an established, long-standing provider of mission-critical signature and power management solutions for the US and UK naval defense markets. Their sole source product offerings will add significant scale to ESCO’s Navy businesses, providing increased content on US Navy submarine and surface ship programs and expansion into vital UK and AUKUS navy platforms.

MulberryForward7726

He is 100% correct but many people will not care about it until it is too late. The regulation has been changed around senior management remuneration, so the way around it to share awards, then using the cash the business makes to buy shares back. In reality you would expect the number of shares would reduce, but it hasnt. Every company is doing it, in the US ans Uk. In the UK companies used to pay more dividends then buybacks, but the direction in the UK is also more buy backs recently.

Adventurous-Date9971

The edge here is dissecting quality of earnings and traffic/customer concentration for GAMB, then sizing the bet like it’s fragile. Actionable checks I’d run: 1) Footnotes on revenue: split of CPA vs rev-share, receivables aging, and credit risk by customer; if two sportsbooks are >30% of revenue, that’s a red flag. 2) Traffic durability: pull Similarweb and Semrush trends, separate brand vs non-brand organic, and model a Google core update hit (say -20% organic) against EBITDA. 3) Cash conversion: OCF vs net income after SBC, earnout payments, capitalized content/intangibles, and amortization; see if “beats” rely on adjustments. 4) Regulatory sensitivity: state promo caps and UK/EU changes; note seasonality (NFL). 5) Dilution/insiders: shelf filings, RSU overhang, insider sales. Set tripwires (e.g., non-brand organic down 15% QoQ or any client >35% rev) to cut size. For idle cash while waiting, I use Fidelity T-bill ladders and Marcus for HYSA; I’ve also used Gainbridge for a fixed-term annuity when I wanted a multi-year guaranteed rate. Bottom line: judge earnings quality and traffic fragility first, then keep position small with clear exit triggers.

Well, there’s a bunch of contrary opinion on that. First it is necessary to understand the concern. It is not that AI won’t be useful or yield profits, that’s not the claim. What has people worried is the FOMO investments being made are way bigger than current profit levels justify - and that companies involved are financing each other in a circular flow (see graphic) that is not sustainable in the immediate future. Bill Gates was correct to point out that this AI boom is not like the great Tulip fiasco of the 1600’s - but it is a lot like the great UK railroad boom and bust of the mid 1840’s. Did the railroads end up being a boon for the UK economy? Of course they did, revolutionizing transport and trade. But not before a FOMO frenzy led to massive over investment by banks, wealthy individuals and the government which led to a devastating bust that bankrupted institutions and individual investors. The AI buildout has also relied heavily on private equity and private credit, in addition to bank financing. A very big bet is being placed, without the collateral to back it up right now. Five-ten years down the road, and this won’t be an issue. But in the short run, we could be in trouble - due for a significant correction. Even Peter Theil has recently dumped his AI shares (see link below). Here are some links you may find instructive.

The railway bubble wasn't irrational. Trains are awesome but maybe investors in Great Britain and Ireland shouldn't have invested so much on a self-promoting cycle based purely on optimistic speculation. When that bubble popped the UK lost ~£230 million, half the UK’s national income, but railways are still an amazing technology that revolutionised everything.

Yes a good earnings presentation and I think the future looks very promising, more promising than before I saw the presentation for various reasons (e.g. the hundred million opportunity and they are eligible for the EU’s IRIS² constellation supply chain). I also particularly liked when first investing this year the fact they were involved with AST, as that company has a very bright future in my opinion. To have designed the pivotal AST5000 chip, with 10x bandwidth compared to the previous chip, really stands out for me. Yes the budget on the 26th will be interesting. I lobbied Rachel Reeves (Chancellor as you’ll know) and Lucy Rigby (City Minister) about abolishing stamp duty on UK share purchases entirely, or at least for under 30s to better foster an investor mindset amongst the next generation of investors. I didn’t receive a response however I hope my suggestion (echoed by many) will not be ignored. 🤞

No, Microsoft has invested more into AI than almost any other company. That alone shows they believe in AI long-term and plan to keep pouring money into it. They’ve committed $30 billion to the UK, $13 billion into OpenAI, 80 billion in data center expansion, launched Copilot across their entire product line, and are even building their own in-house training clusters. Everything they’re doing points toward continued, aggressive AI expansion. The whole point I was making is this: people are saying Peter Thiel sold because of an “AI bubble,” yet he immediately moved money into Microsoft, a company investing hundreds of billions into AI infrastructure. If he truly believed AI was about to collapse, he wouldn’t be rotating into a company that is doubling-down on AI spending. Yes, NVIDIA would feel the biggest impact if an AI bubble popped, but Microsoft would still take a major hit as well. They’re exposed across cloud, data centers, and AI products. AI slowing down would affect both companies.

You’re right, but we have to show 0 support for all politicians in between election cycles, with our wallets, etc. in between bc this way is just going to continue to hurt us and our children. It is my belief that 0 politicians believe in actually helping Americans, or at least those large enough up the food chain to make a difference. The people that actually want to help get stomped out way too early for their morals, unwillingness to tolerate corruption, etc. We just can’t keep going this way and idk the answer but Americans are suffering everywhere and politicians are sitting pretty with a budget for lobster on their private flights higher than Americans average salaries. It’s absolute insanity. Idk the answer though. I can’t even turn on the news bc it makes me sick, all sides. When you have a budget of 70k for your “meals on flights” alone in a policy but can’t figure out healthcare or decide ppl should make more than $7.25 an hour it’s disgusting. An MRI in the US is 20x higher than other county, sometimes more. They use the same machines, staff, take the same amount of time and energy. An MRI that costs 2k to 10k here will cost an average of 300 in Australia, the UK, France, Canada, most any other country. The greed and wealth gap has became insanity.

You also need to take into consideration the location of the investor. For example for someone like me in the UK, we have something called a "Stocks and Shares ISA" which allows me to put in £20,000 (\~$26000) into any stocks I want within that account and regardless of my gains, even if it goes up 10,000%, I'm not taxed a single penny, whereas if I hold BTC, I get capital gains taxed at up to 24%, so I can offset that by going into MSTR for indirect exposure

MSTR had a value proposition when investors, especially outside the US, were not able to buy BTC in tax sheltered accounts (e.g. ISA - UK). Recent changes mean that direct access is now permitted, albeit not leveraged. Plus, financial engineering of MSTRs capital structure puts equity holders at the highest risk position (as usual) but now will need to be continuously diluted to support hybrid capital and debt, and not just for BTC purchases.

Because it's not "just" a bubble. With the dotcom bubble the web was a major new tech change which reformed how the whole world works and made a lot of billionaires ... it also caused a massive bubble where a lot of people went broke. "Just a bubble" implies it'll pop and then all go away as if nothing happened. It was the same with Railway Mania in the 1840s in the UK, up to 7% of GDP was invested in railway companies, most of them went bust, a huge number of people lost money on it, and yet it was world changing and made some people extremely rich.

They were right. We have a huge storm here in the UK. One of the biggest ever

Half true. The private sector does not operate say A+E services. And your private health care provider will usually push you to use the NHS for diagnostic treatment first (which can be the expensive). When the NHS has determined what’s wrong and proposed a fix, you can revert back to your private health provider (with the NHS reports) and have your procedure done by the private provider. Private healthcare in the UK is not the same as in say, the USA or other parts of the world.

Would you mind sharing the outcome? I'm really curious about it. I've sorta wondered how T+1 impacts ADRs. The UK isn't going to T+1 until towards the end of 2027. It's some kind of coordinated plan with EU and Swiss markets.

I don’t think we should play this game, there’s far more that is better in the UK than better in the US. Like we don’t need to pump our chicken with chlorine before eating it because of welfare standards. Just FYI, most places in the UK don’t have separate hot and cold taps.

Glad to see people from UK seeing through this. The media-driven hate here in US against Trump is remarkable, and people incapable of critical thinking suck it up like vacuum cleaners.

UK also has separate taps for hot and cold. They are a measure of how not to do anything.

Fuck the UK

My American brothers and sister's need to step up against this nonce. Wish you all well from the UK.

The tulip bubble in Netherlands, the steam train bubble in the UK. The doctor, the AI, and thr crypto. That's off the top of my head. I'm sure I've missed a few. Where there is a market and human emotions, there will always be a bubble.

> securities that have to deal with things like forex conversion. Oooh, you might be on to something there; this is an ADR of a UK company. I thought those traded just like regular shares, but maybe not. Project for next week!

UK bond yields just a straight line up today wow. Bonds globally giving up all their gains

Basic-Pudding-3627

Instead of dividends, sell and rebalance annually. Sell 4% as a drawdown, which is 400k, then pay tax on your gains. In the UK that would be 24% (higher rate) capital gains tax leaving you with 304k take home, which is 25.3k to spend each month. There are other tax efficient methods.

The data center build out continues. UK data center that came online a month or so ago is already sold out. The forward guidance is expected to start being realized in 2026. They are spending big and that’s exactly what I expect. They need cash injection to build out infra to capture all opportunity. Their CRO on a call stated they are having to continually refuse clients because of lack of capacity. They have a SUPPLY issue not demand

Ok_Courage_2870

lol and the UK looks like it will have a choice between an IMF bailout or money printer goes brrr very soon.

Visual-Wrangler3262

Let's use this as an example. IGL5 more or less matches this 5%, and it seems to be stably rising, but if I look at other accumulating UK bond ETFs, like Vanguard's (VGVA), it sucks: 2.75% and falling, with no rising trend since 2022. What's the difference, other than the obvious difference in outcome?

AnonymousTimewaster

UK Gilts are still well over 5% which is far superior to cash right now

Neat-Impact4540

Which app is this ? Can I do option trading in the UK?

Coley44

Yeah.... I doubt it. Usually when premarket makes a move as close to -1 before even 9AM for UK/Europe open the move for the day has already been made. We'd need an absolutely amazing piece of news to change course now

AnonymousTimewaster

From the UK I trust Bloomberg more

northerncodemky

Does that help? ‘When America sneezes Europe catches a cold’… the UK took a massive hit in 2008 and over a decade (some might say it has never ended) of austerity politics followed.

ElmoLovesGrover

I'd say price will decrease. Many folks on other sub-reddits who previously jumped on the short squeeze possibility have lost interest and are moving on the next potential squeeze play. My opinion hasn't changed. Its a speculative, high risk, don't put in more money than you can afford to loss. If pays off will pay off big, but most likely you will lose money. The money I put in I'm viewing a lottery ticket-type play. The delay of earnings doesn't change it for me. I still view it as the stock is priced as if the company will be declaring backruptcy imminently. That's fair because they could be declaring bankruptcy imminently. Any good, or even remotely good, news from the earnings/business update will spike the stock and possibility start the short squeeze. Potential catalysts are receipt of FEMA settlement money, UK debt restructuring, fed. gov. backstop, debt re-negotiation with lenders.

That's the greatest democracy for you. Same in the UK. The idiots rule.
