Well it doesn't help that there are liquidity problems popping up in the UK and USA banking systems and now the AI firms are asking for government money for their build outs.

So besides META, another stock which just dropped because it said it was gonna reinvest profits in AI was a UK property company called Rightmove. Apparently investors starting to hate that shit and demanding their money now international style.

My mum got rich low-balling desperate or clueless homeowners, so I *should* be interested in BeeLine. But reading through a summary on [Housingwire](https://www.housingwire.com/articles/beeline-loans-pioneers-blockchain-home-equity-transactions) just isn't selling it. Firstly, Beeline equity is a loan. They may not call it that, but if it has to be paid back (even upon death or sale) it is a loan. In fact payment upon death or sale is typical for equity release mortgages (hence the name). Secondly, I don't understand the USP. Putting the transaction on blockchain makes it immutable, transparent, and pseudonymous - all things perfectly undone when talking about concrete, title-deeds, and property registries. There are structural problems too. One is an inverse relationship between age groups that hold property equity and age groups drawn to blockchain tech. Another is that BeeLine's intention of pitching to younger homeowners (at least I hope that's the plan...) exposes it to structural depreciation. Here in the UK they'd be fine, because we use bricks. But Stateside you build homes out of plywood, lint, and wishes, so the home of a 30-year-old BeeLine customer will need a total revamp long before they're in the grave. They *might* repay upon sale instead, but the very fact they have to pay (and the differential between 10% gains on a cheaper property versus a more expensive one) makes them less likely to sell. BeeLine has essentially uncovered an unnecessarily complicated, extremely slow method to acquire building sites. All that said, well-marketed 'convenient' options make bank regardless of how badly they're thought out; BeeLine will probably go up 20,000,000%.

He’s been told to grow the company 42% a year for the next few years. Call me cynical, but that sounds like a setup to push him out he’s already running the company into the ground. For perspective, BYD sold nine times as many cars as Tesla in the UK last month.

Amy also said that it’s a problem they will solve quickly. In either case, Microsoft slowing on infra spend isn’t something you have to “take the executives words on”, it was [widely reported](https://apnews.com/article/microsoft-ai-data-center-pause-ohio-4d987fe8446fc9e6cda31d919f938911) in the first and second quarters of this year and the last quarter of last year. It even caused the market to dip those days. And no, the problem wasn’t just in the US, they paused buildouts in Australia and the UK too. At the same time, the neoclouds kept adding capacity which made Microsoft fall further behind. It was a completely self inflected wound that they started remedying only in September by handing companies like Nebius big contracts. Like, anyone who has followed this story even remotely knows about this. Which isn’t to say power isn’t a problem, but just that Microsoft’s particular problems are very much self inflected and now the deflection game is in full swing, swaying people like you who don’t follow the sector.

I got curious and did the math for you. Sports betting penetration is c. 10% in the UK. America has c. 250m adults. That is 25m potential customers. Assume 50% of those gamble with DraftKings. That is 12.5m paying customers. ARPU in the UK is c. $500 a year (that is profit made from these people). That means this business tops out at c. $6.3bn revenue. Your business is about to go ex-growth in the next few years. Thats why you are stuffed.

We have gaming stocks in the UK. Trust me its not going to be worth that. Do some analysis into addressable market size, penetration, average user spend. Then take into account that the government will tax the industry to death.

Investing is about taking a different view from the market, and being proven correct over time. I have made over $1m in a stock this year (a small UK micro-cap). I bought 0.5% of the company. I knew this company inside out. I knew the market got it wrong. It took over 18 months to be proven right. I am not +170% on it. Take a different view. Be patient. Maybe the market comes round to your opinion.

China is obviously going to win in the long run. As Dan Wang put it, "America is run by lawyers, and China is run by engineers". It's worse than that, America is run by lawyers and career politicians at the best of times. At the worst of times, as it is now, it is run by charlatans, fraudsters, anchors, podcasters, reality TV personalities, and sycophants. We have a failing K-12 educational system that has succumbed to decades of sabotage. However, we still maintained the lead because we had the best universities and the most plentiful research funding; simultaneously, we were able to attract drain other countries of their most talented workers by being an attractive destination for immigrants, like German and other Old World scientists in the aftermath of World War II and Chinese scientists in the wake of their Cultural Revolution. **This was America's true superpower.** Instead, the United States is going through our own Cultural Revolution, with an unprecedented attack on our universities and gutting our research funding. Why would the next Jensen Huang, Lisa Su, Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai, Hock Tan, or Elon Musk want to come for this shitshow? That's to say nothing of the millions of talented scientists, engineers, and physicians who do all the real work behind the scene. Per the [Global AI Talent Tracker](https://archivemacropolo.org/interactive/digital-projects/the-global-ai-talent-tracker/), in 2019, 29% of the top AI researchers were Chinese, compared to 20% US; in 2022, that increased to 47% China, 18% US. We were still able to benefit from the brain drain when we were an attractive destination for foreign talent. I'd love to see what it looks like in 2025. What we do know [from Science](https://www.science.org/content/article/china-tops-world-artificial-intelligence-publications-database-analysis-reveals) is that as in 2024, Chinese researchers published four times as many peer-reviewed papers on AI as US researchers and filed for 13 times as many patents as the US, UK, Canada, Japan, and South Korea **combined**.

The NFE contract is a renewal of a contract between its subsidiary Genera and the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA). It *doesn't* pay Genera $1,000,000,000 (as people online have said). Instead, that's the total amount of oil Genera is licensed to buy on PREPA's behalf. NFE's finances are also a total joke. It's in a stupid amount of debt ($7,800,000,000), including $2,700,000,000 in 12% secured notes with a junk rating (CCC) from Fitch. It's posted massive losses of $557,000,000 despite mid-nine-figure divestitures. Its only survival options are huge dilution, Chapter 11, or a scheme of arrangement (a UK system for debt restructuring which needs approval from shareholders).

*> Cut working class taxation to help the above* Are you aware that low- and middle- income people in the UK are paying much less share of taxes every decade and it's going down from like 1970s. There has to be massive tax increase on working people to meet all goverment spending (or cut spending). There is no way to fund all that things people want from the state. The top 10% of income tax payers in the UK pay \~60% of all tax; %36 of the adult population paid no income tax at all in 2023-24. That Labour chant "those with broadest shoulder should pay more" is b\*\*sh\*t --- they already pays so much that reaches are becoming non-residents (aka leaving the country from tax point of view) and top middle class is not working as hard as they would with smaller & flat taxes.

SMURGwastaken

Because the tax increases are necessary to fund the UK's insanely inflationary policies - most prominently the triple lock on the state pension which ensures the pension always increases faster than both inflation *and* wages every year. This drives inflation which, you guessed it, drives the pension up which, again, drives inflation. The UK is literally taxing itself into oblivion chasing old votes.

olderlifter99

I dont think this is right. When pushed, Starter defined working people as " people who rely on a regular paycheck, public services, and don't have enough savings to write a cheque to cover emergencies". My point is, there is a general suspicion in the labour party, and a big part of the UK population,towards successful people who have done well or created wealth. Yet, they, all of us, are screaming out for someone to invest in the UK economy and UK businesses. Who do they think has the money to do this?

West Germany was in a better state in 1970 than it was in 1930 but it doesn’t justify Hitlers methods. Thatcher decimated industry in the UK, she sold off national assets for a pittance, privatisation of these industries and foreign ownership is calamitous, North Sea oil was used to fund tax cuts for the wealthy which has exacerbated inequality, right to buy was a disaster for social housing and housing costs, she showed no concerns for inequality with the poll tax charging the working man the same as the millionaire, not to mention her disastrous impact on the social fabric of Britain. She was a disaster and her legacy will only worsen as time goes on and people open their eyes.

Pimpy77

I've been trading this stock for the past 6 months, right now it's wise to wait for the deal with bondholders. The only real thing that could shift the narrative would be them getting their FEMA payment which seems like a fantasy now. Otherwise their debt load is pointing towards restructuring through dilution or prepack bankruptcy (done in UK because it's simpler and less blowback from lawsuits). Wes Edens is definitely an interesting character but he does have a history of bankrupting multiple companies in the past. Tread carefully.

Pimpy77

If you bought the low (which is highly doubtful as it's been dropping for a while now) there's no catalyst that will actually pump the stock. Their debt is coming due which they can't service, their updated Puerto Rico contract is lower than originally anticipated and they're looking to restructure in UK courts (which typically leads to prepackaged bankruptcy). The volume after hours might be shorts already unwinding their positions while retail chasing action will be left with bags. NFA

First of all, almost everything trump says is just noise and he always u-turns, doesnt follow through etc. Secondly, Nvidia would be finished, I mean completely finished, if they couldnt sell outside the US. When clarifications come out, Trump will stop imports to China and countries who are considered an enemy or potential enemy. Europe, UK etc. would not be included that would be suicide for US and Nvidia.

Get good UK focused investment bankers with blue book experience. Taking a public company private is a complex endeavour. There are many regulations and work that needs to be done both on the legal and financial side. Good bankers or lawyers with a track record on blue book deals will be able to guide you.

I’m a big believer in following breadcrumbs. Here, I’m trying to piece together whether MSAI is transitioning from solo mode to scale mode, now that the original founder seems to have retired and a new CEO is taking over with expansion plans. My main curiosity is: could Amazon be their new customer? This isn’t financial advice, just me laying out my findings in a simple, visual, and hopefully entertaining way. You can see my original post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/pennystocks/s/78ewqr5BFg also thanks again to whomever made the other post taking me down this rabbit hole. Starting with LinkedIn. I see their VP of Global sales Joshua B. Liked a post someone with the first name of Paul who works at Amazon made. Paul announced he’d started a new role at Amazon as Regional RME Quality and Benchmarking Specialist. He’d spent several years working at Amazon before this promotion, which he shared about a month ago. For reference, here’s the post Joshua liked (I’ve avoided posting faces): https://www.linkedin.com/posts/paul-loughran-951272115_im-happy-to-share-that-im-starting-a-new-ugcPost-7371894353511739393-ur2x According to his profile, up until this year Joshua B. was working at Amazon’s UK warehouse MAN3 up until January 2025, when he was transferred to Georgia to “spearhead innovative preventive maintenance strategies.” The CEO and Joshua B. are in Georgia too their Linkedin says. What a small world! It says he started in September this new role with Amazon and is now the Regional RME Quality and Benchmarking Specialist for Florida, Georgia and North Carolina. Hey wait, all those are southern U.S. states as I recall. Coincidence, or yet another breadcrumb? October 14, 2025 MSAI press release says: "North American Rollout: Initial deployments launched in key sites in the southern U.S. with additional U.S. sites scheduled". It also reads: "successful implementations of MSAl solutions in the United States with a global distribution leader, marking the first wave of North American deployments following multiple successful programs across Europe and the United Kingdom.". https://feeds.issuerdirect.com/news-release.html?newsid=5374384416805784&symbol=MSAI At this point I'm liking what I'm seeing on Linkedin. Let's check out the MSAl website! Blog post from October 14, 2024 says MSAI was "approached by a Fortune 50 online retailer and manufacturer." https://blog.multisensorai.com/case-study-upgrading-predictive-maintenance-for-distribution-facility According to multiple Ai models: Practically speaking, that means Amazon or Walmart, though some ai claims the definition could include Apple or Tesla. Amazon remains the top suspect given the connections. Moving along I went to: https://www.multisensorai.com/case-studies/thermal-monitoring-delivers-8x-roi-for-global-online-retailers-operations On this page there's an image on the bottom that has the url VANDER in the url. That url is: https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/67eb0163428604d8d4f09e54/683623c6ffdcab13de33981d_VanderScreenShot.avif Vander as in Vanderlande? Someone posted on stocktwits about that the other day I recalled, so I dug deeper. Vanderlande has been working with Amazon for 25 years helping them automate warehouses: https://www.vanderlande.com/us/campaign/the-race-to-deliver-amazons-first-european-ars-fulfilment-center/ I then visit: https://www.multisensorai.com/solutions/msai-hub-gateway The MSAI Hub apparently works well with Vanderlande because on this page there's a big image of a warehouse using the hub and a Vanderlande control case appears as well. Here's the image url: https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/67eb0163428604d8d4f09e29/69013df9e1e4917e860fde1c_228caa0d-6e18-483d-b514-1a1b1eb8628a.avif Needing to compare that to an actual Amazon warehouse, leads me to this video: https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/amazon-fulfillment-center-in-gwinnett-county-hiring-for-1000-jobs/85-903b07cd-d97a-4cd2-9eec- ac1329911d94 I freeze the video at 1 minute and 5 seconds. Findings: The same hanging signs white with red stripes, the same white and yellow pillars, the pillars also have the lettering and numbering at the top which has the same system for warehouse layout it appears. I can't explain the lawnmower, but beyond that I'm convinced this is definitely an Amazon warehouse. Maybe not the same one in Georgia, but even perplexity and his cousins say it strongly resembles and Amazon warehouse and could be one, but it can't confirm that with certainty. All this blew my mind, so I watched Back to The Future and made an image to explain it all visually. Cheers! Not advice. Do your own research.

It’s a tough one from a UK perspective because, as an investment app, Robin Hood sucks. Trading 212, etoro and Freetrade are better. However, options trading is a relatively novel thing here. Imagine it a bit like the reverse of sports betting where we in the UK have had endemic levels for a decade and you guys are just starting to see it. It’s the same with options. And you can’t really do options trading on many platforms in Europe. So if it becomes more popular, HOOD will gain.

Nvidia has so much money its larger than the GDP of India ( the largest population in the world by the way) UK and Japan. If Nvidia Corp was have the size of New York city it would still be a speck on a map. Nvidia not top heavy .. really.

I get your point. I’m sometimes a bit jealous of my family and friends in the UK. You can save your money smack it in a tax-free “ISA” where it will accumulate at a reasonable rate and not pay any capital gains tax, and get on with your life. Having moved abroad, I feel that to keep up with this and I will not have my money erode in the face of inflation, I have to have an investment portfolio. But it’s true that it has immediately meant that the few thousand that used to feel great now feel small and the new larger amount feels thin. That said I still do you want to continue for quite some time because eventually I hope to convert this into a bigger house. But it’s true that it’s good to find a way to detach a bit in the meantime.

Thanks for the comment. Successful piloted test flights (conventional take off and VTOL) have been carried out and the final stage (prop transition flight) is due in the next couple of months. Vertical is looking to certify to the highest aviation standard (i.e. one crash in a billion hours of flight aka 1 to the minus 9) in a dual track process with Britain’s CAA and the EU’s EASA. Doing so should allow them to hopefully gain FAA certification also. Take a look at the new Vertical\_Aerospace sub and the video Henry Blodget. Certification is covered from 27:14 onwards and here is an excerpt of what Vertical CEO Stuart Simpson states… ‘Our aircraft will be exportable everywhere. The US competitors will not be exportable into Europe or the UK despite what they're telling people. We have confirmation from EASA and the CIA that they will not allow anything that's not to the minus 9 to fly over populated areas in Europe. Hence Archer and Joby’s focus on the Middle East!’

King Charles still technically owns all of the UK's assets. The Saudi's are rich beyond belief as they also ultimately own of of Saudi's assets.

Are you in the UK? Have you enabled 24/5 trading? Most stocks should allow pre & after market. Barely any overnight though.

There are so many competing designs in the SMR market and I'm not sure there are that many buyers lining up. Impossible to pick a winner now but if I had to it would be one of the established builders like Rolls Royce who have orders in the UK/EU, or the Bill Gates funded Terrapower. First-movers who can build economies of scale have a huge advantage when it comes to building SMRs. Using a (SA)LEU design is definitely in their favour though. Fuel supply chain security (and cost) is likely to ward buyers away from the experimental HALEU approach for at least a decade.

My observations: - [Revenue barely grew ~2.2% YoY](https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/qtrly/3rdqtr25.pdf) - Insurance losses down $2B YoY - Insurance Underwriting Net +$1.7B YoY - [Some strange items +$2.0B YoY](https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/news/nov0125.pdf) - BNSF flat - Utilities doing poorly, both in UK and U.S. - Industrials doing great: revenue up 5.8% and earning up 24.3%, both accelerating in Q3 - Clayton Homes was somehow doing very well in Q3, made $73 million and turned the YTD positive ($40 million) - Operating Cash Flow YTD is $34.8 billion, significant improvement of 34.6% over 2024's $26.0 billion. Q3's contribution is $13.8 billion, vs $1.8 billion last year! - He bought $6.4 billion and sold $12.5 billion, for a net of $6.1 billion in stocks ------- My take: - Overall good results, and the weather helped greatly - The improvement in cash flow over last year is imho the biggest bright spot - At 1.46 P/B, its valuation has fallen to the average over last 10 years

They use it for almost 2 years now... seems like for the pilot projects in UK/EU

This is not how a CBDC would or could work and demonstrates a lack of understanding similar to those who are getting upset over UK digital ID plans. Conspiracy theory stuff.

Im from the UK, how exactly is the US now our enemy? Trump visited the King a few weeks ago, where both he and Charles reiterated how strong the US and UK alliance and friendships are.

From my understanding: Ye Amazon is the partner / big e-commerce company here. - Videos/Photos - SEC Filings from last year: "testing at warehouses in UK/EU" and then the MSAI youtube video showing Amazon Warehouse sites (timestamp 23/24) - now expansion But (risking hard downvotes here): It's not like the stock should explode now. - There is a massive dilution coming in ~Dec 25 with around 27.3 Mio. new shares - The revenue with the amazon partnership (presumably) was still quite low --> A fair value as of now shouldn't be above 1 $ atm. It will take a massive rollout / other partnerships to justify a 3 $ price target This is just a reminder, you can get profits now, but it's really risky and unlikely not a straight way to 3 $ or more in the next months

Just a quick good search…I think there is a huge difference in HOND and CCCX…mainly that Infleqtion has ACTUAL deliverable product and contracts with top tier clients. NASA UK Royal Navy US DoD NVDA. Terrestrial Energy does not have any deliverable products.

Adding one more comments since I've been asked to look at 3 stocks now and I am just gonna list what \*I\* look for in a biotech stock, since I invest in them. By the by, a lot of these companies are what are called "late stage" pharmaceutical companies, typically they do not develop novel compounds, they license pre-existing ones that have some level of promise in pre-clinical (mice, rats, dogs) and move them into clinical, so typically a lot of these companies will only ever have one product. 1: first thing I always look at is the leadership, specifically the CEO and CMO, do they have successful prior projects? have they launched a product before? I want to see a lot of experience and I want to see prior results, 2: Then I take a look at what the drug is treating, what is the market? if its an orphan drug that means a low number of customers, but easier FDA regulation. if its something more ubiquitous, say, a blood thinner, the market might be huge but the FDA will have tighter guidelines. Has it been granted some level of FDA fast tracking (breakthrough status, high unmet need status, PRIME or innovation passport to the UK or EU?) Typically I am investing in companies that have made it to phase 3 with solid communication with the FDA and good reporting 3: on the financials side, whats the debt situation? how much cash are the burning? are there liabilities? companies in biotech can straight up run out of money, even if their product is incredible, and that can be the end of things. so I wanna see that they have money to bring them through at least another year. 4: Finally, if I like everything, I will look at "catalysts" upcoming FDA meetings, investor conferences, whatever it is. If all of these lineup, then I will invest.

It’s a stocks ISA in the UK, it doesn’t get taxed.

Not disagreeing. Unsure where they live. I guess there are places in the US, UK, certainly Europe where 5% on 800k is sufficient, if housing is not a consideration (as in, home is owned). Not enough for my expensive-ass habits, however.

The Railway Mania of the 1840s in the UK is a really interesting example here. Were railways a super exciting new tech which was obviously going to be transformative? Yes. Was there a massive stockmarket bubble up to 7% of GDP which crashed and loads of people lost money? Yes. Did railways then become huge and did they create a lot of new economic growth? Yes. So it's possible for everything to be true all at one, you can be in a bubble for a tech which is real and it's not enough to see the trend right you have to pick the right companies. After all you see the internet will be huge so you buy Netscape and AOL right? Or you see social media coming so you buy Yahoo and MySpace? Or smartphones so you buy Nokia and Blackberry? Big waves lift all stocks for a while and then the winners get sorted out and they take most of the gains.
