As a Turkish living in the UK, I made massive profit from this fund. I transferred my 100K GBP that was in VUAG and FTSE in my UK ISA account, which has now turned into 300K GBP in TLY fund (TRY devaluation vs GBP is only 9% since then).

> Life in the UK has improved significantly in 40 years, by almost every metric I can think of. Think harder. Plenty of people in their 20s 30s 40s don't have a home. Plenty of people trapped with abusive partners etc who can't afford to move out.

In 2020, when the UK left the Union for brief moment my country, Denmark, was the largest exporter and producer of oil and natural gas in the EU after having been number two since 1993. Today we have closed down most drilling sites and are phasing out fossil fuels,, and by 2050 the nation is projected to produce 0% oil and natural gas. Zero.

Apple up because of an overpriced piece of new equipment. SpcX up over a UK $40 million contract. Not billion. Million. Other AI and tech sectors are killing their earning but have been smacked down for a month plus. None of this makes sense.

A direct hit from a solar flare could block access to your brokerage for 3-48 months. It's also a good idea to keep at lest a 90 day supply of food on hand, not buckets of freeze dried crap but actual food that you enjoy eating and cycle through your supply on a daily basis. Think rice, canned kippers, fish, oatmeal, etc. Starting a vegetable and herb garden is also a good idea as it's healthy. Next get into canning those vegetables and meats when they go on sale. Now let's consider other things such as fuel for cooking and lighting. Your average American/UK/Mexican neighbor is morbidly obese and a good source of oil if you harvest them soon after they pass which won't be long after the solar flare event. Lastly let's not forget about keeping a proper armory. As mentioned earlier those neighbors are going to be getting hangry in less than twenty four hours.

Northwindlowlander

Oh those do exist. For instance Games Workshop, based here in the UK, got their £7.8m tariff cheque earlier this year. And yes some of that will go to taxpayers and citizens, via their profitsharing- 3000 british taxpayers and citizens will be getting their slice of the tariff refund.

Were_all_dead_anyhow

The West is slaved by its creditors. We (US, EU, UK, etc.) are intentionally mired in debt, and when a state is reliant on creditors to buy its debt and avoid economic collapse, the state’s foreign and domestic policies conform to the interests of international finance and geopolitics rather than the moral will of its citizenry or even the economic stability of the country. People get hung up on the image of physical ownership of the chattel slave, when the end goal is what people should focus on; the fundamental logic of slavery is the elite extraction of labor and resources from a lower class. When you own sovereign debt, structural coercion is the new modern debt bondage. Under chattel slavery, masters bore the cost of feeding and housing captives, whereas debt bondage functions as a highly efficient upgrade where workers are financialized through student loans, housing, medical debt, etc., forcing them to police themselves and work indefinitely just to service the interest. When the people want services to improve in a democratic state, the politicians shrug and say "we can't afford it". You are left with a democracy that strictly prioritizes system preservation by funding debt servicing, police, and surveillance, over public welfare because state stability is tied to financial markets and social control. Interest payments to private creditors are treated as legally non-negotiable to prevent economic collapse, ensuring the financial class is paid first. The resulting inequality and declining public services, popular unrest naturally rises, prompting politicians to aggressively fund security and surveillance apparatuses to suppress people and guarantee order. This is why the Epstein people aren't punished outside of a token few. Whenever the people of a country have had enough, the creditor-class resorts to scapegoats: The domestic "Other", usually immigrants and minorities, the "Leach" like welfare and unions, and/or the external threat as a means to gin up a war to purge your angry and poor men abroad before they stand against you at home. Neat huh?

You can fix in the UK up to 10 years too. It's common, I did it. But mortgage brokers/advisers encourage 2 year fixes so they get paid repeated commission when you remortgage. 

Wind_Yer_Neck_In

It's one thing you Americans got absolutely right, long term fixed rate mortgages. Over here in the UK (and most of the rest of the world) you get a short 2-4 year fix and then it becomes floating. Most banks laugh when you say you want a long term fixed rate.

A $40 million contract with the UK moves SpcX up 3%?! Million, NOT BILLION

_DoubleBubbler_

I am 😁 but you know that, as I am obsessed with EnSilica! Given their progress, a forward PS of about 3 seems like a bargain to me when compared to the US semiconductor 10 year average PS of 6.8 and UK of 4.5 (according to Simply Wall St data). We’ve also seen competitor Satixfy acquired by MDA Space for 13x revenue and SealSQ is currently trading at about 16 PS. The coming years look very promising to me if EnSilica keeps building upon the record results from earlier this year.

ShadowBurns

Here is the summarize for the new 31 risk factors: \- AI strategy is now a first-class risk. The most prominent additions concern AI directly: new passages flag the unpredictability of AI regulation, the risk that AI may not develop as expected, and the explicit acknowledgement that Reality Labs losses reduced 2025 operating profit by approximately $19.19 billion, with 2026 losses expected to remain at a similar level. The dropped version of that same passage cited $17.73 billion for 2024 and said losses were expected to *increase* in 2025, so the re-draft is also a factual update. Where last year's competitive risk passage grouped AI under metaverse and hardware efforts, the addition now names frontier AI model development as a distinct competitive front. \- Content creators are separated from developers as a distinct risk. A new passage adds creators alongside developers as a group Meta must attract and retain to sustain engagement. The dropped version treated third-party content supply and developer tooling as a single concern. This is a change of emphasis rather than a new underlying risk. \- Regulatory geography is refreshed. The UK Online Safety Act joins the list of applicable laws where it was absent last year. Brazil's intermediary liability framework, previously described as under constitutional review, is now described as partially invalidated by the Brazilian Supreme Court, with Meta anticipating product and operational changes. The re-drafted tariff language shifts from "could be subject" to "is subject" to adverse effects from trade policy, and broadens the scope from U.S.-China specifically to "other governments" generally. Meta also adds "superintelligence" to the list of topics that may attract media and regulatory scrutiny of its brands, which was not present before.

Nike beat wall st profit and revenue estimates. It’s down because sales in China and ex-US are taking a beating. The current American administration has made it so those in other countries no longer think it’s cool to wear big American brands. In China even the Nike endorsed athletes dropped the brand and happily switched to domestics like Li Ning, in Japan to ASICS, UK and Germany to Adidas, Puma, and On. Between tariffs and the worst American PR imaginable, there is obvious headwinds for the Nike brand in addition to strategic and structural headwinds with the product and distribution. As their revenue showed, they’ll be fine, but it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Silent_Fudge_3978

Yeah, but what if SCOTUS is actually *right*, legally? Maybe the problem isn't SCOTUS so much, but really the very system of government laid out in the Constitution which gives far too much power to the President. I think the whole thing needs to be scrapped, and a new constitution needs to be written which establishes a UK-style parliamentary system.

I would be cautious about piling into private funds, although RVI is actually not an interval fund which is a plus. If there's another 2022 or anything of that nature, these funds are getting obliterated. I don't think these are long-term holdings, they are good times only holdings and if you think that things are starting to get late innings you start to reduce. Just IMHO. Scottish Mortgage - despite the name - is an aggressive growth fund in the UK that invests in a mix of public and private equity (think something inbetween ARKK and ARVKX.) That was down 60% post 2021 high and only recently got back to that 2021 peak. For most of 2020/21 that fund traded at a premium to NAV, but in 2022, that premium vanished and it traded at a discount - which actually continued into 2023 until the fund started doing buybacks.

It was with teams of horses. They were trying to circumvent the language of the agreement with Germany which kept us out of the war. The UK was getting their asses kicked though and desperately needed those planes. This was the only compromise we could think up that would allow us a little more time to get public sentiment in favor of joining the war. Eventually, we got Japan to attack us by embargoing their oil. Pearl Harbor became a rallying cry for the whole country and we entered the war.

Tax the rich 🤑 Hedge fund billionaire **Chris Rokos** is moving his residency from the **UK** to **Greece** to escape rising tax pressures and the abolition of the UK's "non-dom" tax status. As the founder of the **$22 billion** macro hedge fund **Rokos Capital Management**, Rokos was the UK's third-highest individual taxpayer last year, paying **£330 million** in taxes. His exit is part of a broader exodus of ultra-high-net-worth individuals leaving Britain ahead of anticipated tax hikes in the Labour government’s upcoming autumn budget.

There's an independent burger place near me that absolutely obliterates them in quality, yet have the exact same pricing structure.

Gains from options are subject to CGT in the UK. You'll have a tax bill you need to pay. The good news is you made the gains in the same year as your losses, so they net off, but you'll still likely have liability on the gains you did crystalise. If you'd crystalised and kept the £1m you'd have lost best part of a quarter of it in tax anyway. Sucks, eh?

I had a similar experience, albeit not quite as bad. The solution was to stop with Robinhood and disable options. Even better is to close all trading accounts. Put the money an index fund platform that doesn’t offer options or anything with leverage. That’s how Vanguard is here in the US. Maybe there is the equivalent in the UK. Stop going on WSB and similar subreddits. Then you will be free.

Yea you're not investing you're gambling. The issue is that it's an addiction and you will always chase that 1 million high and have your mind going about what ifs scenarios. Take what you have put it on an ETF, work your regular job, save and you'll be doing much better than the average person I the UK by the time you reach retirement age. The good thing is at 30 age and time on the market are on your side.
