The CEO says he will diversify their products besides doing EVs from now. That's why the share jumped by 10% today. I read the company's anual report in December 2024 and was going to invest but I decided against it because it only has a few clients that make up for its revenues. Jaguar is one of them. Jaguar recently had to be rescued by the UK government. I think I will start buying the dip.

Here’s some DD for you regard bitches: CCCX is merging with Infleqtion. Quantum sensing + compute leader. Quantum RF receivers, quantum inertia gravity sensors, quantum atomic timing, and quantum computers with 1600 physical qubits, a commercial record. Cal tech achieved the world record 6400 physical qubits using Infleqtion’s glass cores. Neutral atoms is the most scalable modality of quantum computing, and is a serious contender in the quantum race. Second most revenue in quantum behind only IONQ. They sell quantum hardware and sensors to the US DoD, NASA, Japan, UK, and more. Partnered with NVDA as a founding partner of NVDA NVQLink. As Jenson Huang revealed at NVDA GTC, Infleqtion QPUs will be layered on top of the GPU-CPU AI datacenter stack to solve the most complex problems that exist. Backed by same seed investor as Palantir and Anduril. Same person that did the spac merger for OKLO. When the merger is complete, the CCCX ticker will change to INFQ. Once that happens INFQ will be on par with IONQ IMO. Right now it is valued less than half of Rigetti (lmao). It is undervalued currently due to the pre merger status.

Hello, Im looking for some opinions on my 6 years UK Junior SIPP and Junior ISA. They both have about 9k in them. As parents we have no debt apart from a mortgage at 2.2% for 4 more years. With the time frames involved i have a fairly high tolerence for risk. I see the JISA as being for a bit of fun stuff and then a house deposit probably not tuition fees unless the terms become much worse. Plus my own Lifetime ISA should have about £120k in by that point if needed. I'd welcome views on whether what i am doing seems sensible overall - and then thoughts on the actual funds spread which started a bit random but i have been trying to stream line. Going forward I plan to put at least 1200/ year (all the child benefit) into the JISA \- maybe another 500-1000 added in a good year. \- currently into a pretty high risk JPMORGAN Fund just changed from Nutmeg I- considering whether to move it to self investment platform but would welcome thoughts about funds - I have 9000 in the J SIPP through Fidelity - slightly random share allocation, i got a bit carried away like in a pick and mix shop, though i have tried to streamline it and consider market sperad. I am also aware that i am a bit concentrated on USA through Legal and general Global tracker and VUAG - should i pick one with all the worries about the AI bubble. I am planning to try and reach the 2880 limit each year in this account so he doesn't end up getting access to a big chunk of money as a student if i put everything into the JISA i know he could technically cash in his pension before time but it feels more locked away than the JISA.

If you want to stay strictly in the EU something like the iShares Core EURO STOXX 50 UCITS ETF (IE00B53L3W79) is probably your best bet. Personally, I also like the STOXX Europe 600 (LU0328475792) because you get 200 Large-, 200 Mid-, and 200 Smallcaps in one basket. However, there you'll have a sizeable chunk of UK and Swiss companies in the mix as well. So, if you want to stay strictly EU it is either the STOXX 50 or you're willing to look into newer and significantly smaller ETFs like WisdomTree Eurozone Quality Dividend Growth UCITS ETF (IE00BZ56TQ67). The crux with the STOXX 50 is, it isn't a index for the largest companies of the European Union, but the largest companies of the Eurozone. Also, because it only tracks the biggest 50 companies there usually are only companies from 7-10 different countries represented at any given time (France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Spain + some Nordic and Belgian stocks that shuffle in and out of the index depending on market cap).

IndubitablyNerdy

Europeans citizens and institutions also invest a lot in USA financial markets, If i remember well I checked some papers about market capitalization a few months ago and the estimate was that that European investors hold an equivalent of roughly 60% of the capitalization of all EU+UK exchanges combined in USA stocks. This, combined with the fact that the USA is the EU largest trade partner by far (and that we also have a ton of usa trasuries in our financial institutions balace sheets) mean that our markets are very much affected by what happens in Wall Street even without considering the political influence that Washington has on the West.

Hey regards, here is some DD for you to chew on. In-Q-Tel is the investment arm of the CIA, they invested early into PLTR and Anduril, IONQ, but they also invested early into Infleqtion (CCCX, soon to be INFQ) Infleqtion sells Quantum RF Receivers to the US Army, Air Force, and Navy. They sell Quantum Inertia Sensors and Atomic Clocks to NASA. The also sell Quantum Computers to Japan, UK, and research institutions. They are the quantum company with second highest revenue, behind only IONQ. Their quantum computer has achieved 1600 physical qubits. Computing + Sensing + Software means they're a full stack quantum company. Oh yeah, and they're partnered with NVDA, as well as a founding partner of NVQLink--Jenson Huang's pet Quantum project, where QPUs will be layered on top of the GPU-CPU AI Datacenter stack in the near future to solve out most complex problems. CCCX basically dumped almost all the way back down to NAV, so currently has limited downside, unlimited upside. CCCX is $3.6 B market cap. RGTI is $8.6 B market cap. IONQ is $16.6 B market cap. Once the merger finalizes as INFQ (dec-jan) you can best believe this is going to rip higher.

Certain-Market-80

Paladin2700

AI answer I got seemed indicate for corporate income tax in the UK it works with the amoritzation which would match my understanding of international corporate accountong rules. But for individuals they don't have the amortization concept. And for gilts specifically the capital losses are disallowed so no way to recover if held to maturity. Maybe a UK tax expert or accountant could confirm if a workaround for this would be selling them a month before maturity.

marco_altieri

That's interesting. So there is amortisation for the premium. I do noynlnownif in the UK it works in the same way.

lufisraccoon

Bonds don't pay dividends, they pay coupons. It's likely that bond pays a 6% coupon. I suspect that's a 30 year gilt from 1998 - that's the last time the UK was issuing coupons that high. To calculate yield accurately, you will incorporate the accrued interest. Nobody would sell you the bond now without being compensated for their share of the coupon from 7th June to today. If I mathed good, that's about 3.881% yield, which seems reasonable given that the current 2 year gilt yield is 3.75%. I'm not really sure about the rest of your question because I have no idea about your tax situation. As I understand, UK government gilts held by UK people aren't subject to capital gains tax, which means you can't deduct capital losses due to buying bonds at a premium either. UK and USA bonds have the same interest rate risk - it's determined solely by the duration of the bond. A UK and USA bond of the same duration will have the same interest rate risk. As a broad comment, I don't really think there's much point to buying short term bonds - the math is complicated, and you're going to get basically equivalent return as a simple high interest savings account.

Just globally diversify, and you won't have to worry about the periods where Europe or other continents outperform the US. We've seen Japan as the superstar, UK, EU, Canada, but still mostly, the US as the superstars for interesting over certain periods. What has lead over the long long term, even ahead of US, has been globally diversified investing.

blackSwanCan

NVDA is valued at 4.44 trillion dollar, and needs to grow at 50% to sustain shares at current level. For example, in comparison, entire India's economy with 1.5 billion people is $4.13 trillion. Germany about 5 trillion. UK 3.7 trillion. NVDA may have near monopoly for its chips, buy it can't continue for ever. Google, AMD, and others will eventually catch up. Or the costs will becomes so high that its consumers will simply move on.

They got 3 on contract to the UK and are currently talking to the Czech republic for 6. I would count that as 3 are basically in escrow to the UK with 6 more likely to follow suit soon.

DustMobile5282

Start off with ETFs. Starting so young is a great decision. You haven't said which specific European country you're in, but i strongly recommend looking into whether your government offers and tax efficient ways to invest. In the UK we have ISAs where none of your profits are subject to any kind of tax. An All World fund will still contain all the majorly US stocks, so it's your decision whether you prefer that, or a US only fund, or even one of each.

Quantum bears are so annoying, they think they know everything. Always ignoring the enormous Quantum Sensing market, which is \*the quantum opportunity of today\* that will see exponential growth for multiple years before large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computing. I am long CCCX. WSB will probably wait for the merger with Infleqtion as INFQ, however. Infleqtion is a founding partner of NVDA NVQLink. And yes, one day will layer on top of the GPU-CPU AI datacenter stack as Jenson Huang designed with NVQLink. But today, Infleqtion is dominating the Quantum Sensing market. \*CCCX / Infleqtion sells quantum RF receivers, quantum clocks, quantum inertia sensors to DoD, NASA, Japan gov, UK gov, US gov, research institutions, and more\* Do some research and you will see why governments need Quantum Sensing products. One use case: battlefields are now vulnerable to GPS jamming. GPS denied environments will REQUIRE quantum sensing products like QRF receivers to operate. Same seed investors as PLTR and Anduril. Look what QS did when they merged. CCCX to 100+.

The US/ UK nuclear energy pact is cutting approval times in half. Trump has made it a priority to fast track nuclear. For example. Rolls Royce expects dirt works to begin next year on their preferred site in Wylfa. With an estimated 4 years build out time. Far less than the 10-15 years you’re saying.

Rolls Royce just broke ground on a SMR in the UK. It is happening, though I do agree SMRs are overhyped and if will be a much slower process than investors seem to expect.

Bunch of random hate going around: ORCL has specific integration with database hand holding inside of Azure data centers mitigating competition friction on top of backing up 27 European Union countries, the US, AUS, UK, etc are also utilizing them for data Sovereignty. They have decreased FCF (Still like +20B) but, this is expected during high Capex events. However. with their backup with all of these points their MOAT is incredibly strong alongside the "Co Locate with the data location" idea. Easy to switch to, hard af to switch from. Not necessarily saying there is zero risk as there always is some but, I doubt to an incredible level that this is a warning sign for anyone on that list. Put/call @ 0.89 / CDS spread increase by 25 BPS. It's highly likely it's hedging, go to bed. With how rates have been I'm surprised everyone didn't issue even more.

>Devaluation of the dollar has been occurring for decades son, money printing to pay for free stuff So now we're conflating the international value of the dollar with basic domestic inflation? Guess what, most other major economies have been doing the same thing (including printing tons of currency and depressing interest rates / propping up their banks) and are dealing with similar if not worse levels of inflation over the same period.. Since 1997...cumulative inflation rates: - US: 102% - EU: 80% - Russia: 2,219% - Brazil: 102% - India: 394% - China: 41% - UK: 93.7% - Japan: 13% - Canada: 80% - Australia: 108% The only major outliers on the inflationary side are Russia and India. Sure the EU, UK and Canada have been slightly lower than us overall, they also haven't experienced nearly as much growth in raw economic output compared to us in that period which matters (have your seen the comparatively fucking awful salaries in the UK and most of EU compared to US?). China artificially pegs the yuan at a devalued rate so their numbers are naturally bullshit and Japan has been in stagflation with minimal economic growth for decades now, so not an envious position.

recent volatility could very well be an effect from the Japanese Bond market. that would be my bet. even little cracks in bond markets can derail anything. happened in 2022, when the UK gilt market froze. and the Japanese bond market is much bigger: 10tn. they had absurdly low interest rates for decades, setting up this big bubble. and attached to it is the yen carry trade. now interest rates are moving up. and you read silly stuff like "*The Japanese government is launching a massive spending spree to fight inflation*". doesnt get any better than this can easily become a liquidation event that forces the Fed to act. like they always do: printing

Professional-Bet-861

160K invested inside UK ISA with trading 212, I’m 26 now, that’s 8 years of investment with maxing the ISA each year, the portfolio is 695k British pounds today. The key is being consistent, even during crashes the money will alway go up (depending how risky your investments are and what etfs you have). Especially while your young, my goal is to retire at 50, it’s looking like I would have a possibility to retire around 40-45, even if that’s the case I’ve told myself I will carry on until I reach the goal. But I guess we will see when we get to that stage. Anyway please if your young, remember to do some solid research as investing isn’t a game, you need to follow suit and well hopefully more people do it especially in the younger ages, you’ll regret it later in life when your old, but you do have to sacrifice earnings today to achieve your future goals.

Brokers have very strict rules. They have to hold your assets in segregated accounts that are separate from their companies' assets. Touching client assets would be decades in prison. There are also regular audits. If something did happen, there's insurance: - SIPC (U.S.): up to $500k per account (including $250k cash) - ICS (EU countries): typically €20k - FSCS (UK): up to £85k cash protection But for semantics, I guess you're right. I'm still not going to go around talking about my "entitlements" though...

I posted a long DD in the lounge about NFE yesterday morning. First -NFE Thursday and Friday was not a dump and pump. NFEs rise Thursday was not the "pump" part of pump and dump. NFE rose Thursday because people were placing bets on the earning/update that some expected to be released after close. I posted in the lounge multiple times on Thursday explaining this. Then during after hours between 4 and 5 I posted 3 times that if the expected information (about UK debt restructuring) was included in the update then the stock would likely return gains on Friday. That is exactly what happened. The reason I was able to predict what would happen Thursday and Friday with NFE share price was not because it was a pump and dump, but because there were logical reasons for the price action (see above). I've posted in the lounge many times in the past month about NFE. In more half of these posts I have pointed out the speculative, high risk, high reward nature of the stock. Many time I have stated not to invest any more than you are willing to lose, because regardless of the potential return, you are much more likely to lose all or most of your money, than to make any gain at all. With NFE DO NOT INVEST MORE THAN YOU ARE WILLING TO LOSE! While the short data shows that NFE is clearly a squeeze candidate, I agree with Fun Return that its unlikely to reach the volume needed to squeeze. I do add the caveat though: "without a news catalyst, NFE is unlikely to reach the volume needed to squeeze. SGBX had a supposedly "perfect squeeze set-up, so it was able to squeeze on retail hype alone. NFE's set-up is not as good and its financials are so horrible that it will not squeeze on hype alone. It needs a news catalyst. So what are the potential catalysts? Here they are, baby: 1. Up to $659 million FEMA payment from a reparations claim from the 2017 hurricane that hit Puerto Rico. 2. Approval of a contract to supply LNG to Puerto Rico at $440 million/year for 15 years. 3. Brazil starts up a 624 MW gas-fired power plant and begins per contractual obligation buying LNG from NFE. 4. Fed. Gov. investment similar to recent rare earth, chip, and steel deals. This one is more of a crapshoot, btu it is true that LNG has become of strategic geopolitical significance since Russia invaded Ukraine and Trump and NFEs' CEO Wes Edens are friends. In fact, during Trumps NYC real estate days Edens forgave $100 million in debt Trump owed an Eden firm to get trump put of tight predicament. 5. Speaking of Eden and him forgiving a friends/fellow investors debt... it is difficult to overstate just how well-respsected and well established Edens is within the Wall Street and Bond Jockey community. Edens has been around since the 80's, was a Blackrock Founder, has started a few dozen or so hedge funds and equty funds, and has mentored countless people who now run their own funds or are otherwise big shot on Wall Street. Eden has plenty of Wall Street favors he could call in if we wants to, and it is likely Wall Street will honor his requests. 6. There is evidence that Wall Street is already paying back to him Edens decades of karma. Two weeks ago a lender gave a one month forbearance for an interest payment on NFE debt that NFE would not have been able to meet. Even before that some lenders have been coming to arrangements with NFE where NFE is purchasing back NFE debt at 50 or less par value. Then yesterday it was announced that more lenders were delaying interest payments due this calendar year (which NFE would not have been able to meet) until mid-March. 7. The most important potential catalyst - the UK debt restructuring. As an alternative to a US Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, NFE is seeking to restructure their debt through a UK "Scheme of Arrangement". Whereas a Chapter 11 bankruptcy would with 99.9% certainity would 100% wipe out equity, in a Scheme of Arrangement at least some equity would probably be spared. Maybe most equity, maybe less equity... no way to know to what extent equity would be spared. This is huge. As NFE pointed out (again) in yesterdays 10Q, if the UK debt restructuring does not go through then they will very likely have to go through Chapter 11 and equity can be expected to lose essentially everything. There it is. Invest at own risk. NFE is high risk, high reward. Its so high risk it is flat out speculation. The reward could be huge, but you are much more likely to lose most or all rather than profit a single penny. DO NOT PUT IN MORE THAN YOU WANT TO LOSE, BECAUSE YOU MOST LIKELY WILL LOSE IT ALL!!!

ElmoLovesGrover

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.

Everytime I hear about deepmind I think about how the UK could have had a horse in the AI race if deepmind wasnt sold.

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.

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.

I thought that too. Then he said UK deal in 2 week, followed by X country deal in 2 week. He did it at the beginning of November and it still worked. He could say it tomorrow and it will work.

ChaseballBat

"meeting with China, have a deal in 2 weeks" "Deal with Canada in 2 weeks" "Deal with UK again in 2 weeks" Throw a dart on a map and add 2 weeks, market will eat it up.

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.

The UK debt plan is legitimately interesting, but it will only apply to their UK business assets.

ElmoLovesGrover

Earnings will be horrible. Everyone knows that and expects it. What people will be looking at is the update part to the earnings/update report, especially news on the UK debt restructuring and to what extent equity will be spared in any debt restructuring.

The worry for me r.e. Fed chair is that if they’re a Trump puppet that will undermine faith in the dollar big time. I’m in the UK so dollar devaluation nukes my gains

Inflation is high and they announced a giant stimulus package from the new prime minister. Bond rates are going crazy and if the central bank doesn’t step in it’s going to be a UK / Liz Truss 2.0 situation.

So people here are like a rogue gallery of posters lol. Like I'm pretty sure that poster did the same thing like 6 months ago about Burry. Looking through their post history, looks like they are even UK based as well. Maybe they are sleeping now? ( I hate the fact I have a good memory ) Like here we was like 8 months ago talking about Burry: [https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1jnu36t/comment/mko1pow/?context=3&utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1jnu36t/comment/mko1pow/?context=3&utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) It does crack me up how that person posts and it turns out they are fan of Love Is Blind lol. I'm not judging, I watch a ton of house wives with my wife.

I’ve got ESE after bell close. Such a fun company.  Curious to see how the numbers are looking, especially since they closed a pretty big acquisition last quarter.  550M for it, but should help expanded the naval business.  > has completed the acquisition of the Signature Management & Power (SM&P) business of Ultra Maritime for a purchase price of $550 million in cash. 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.

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.

lol do u live in Europe? Most Europeans are poor, wages are often a fraction of US salaries (starting salaries after college of <$20k in UK or Spain), quality of life doesn't mean much if you are broke or unemployed (20%+ youth unemployment in several EU countries)
