Actually 🤓 Rolls-Royce isn't in the same league as Oklo. First, a 470 MW plant isn't "scalable" for off-grid tech. It's a massive, multi-billion-dollar infrastructure project requiring massive grid upgrades. You can't just drop that behind the meter at a data center. Oklo’s 75MW footprint is genuinely scalable because it’s designed for distributed, localized power exactly where tech companies need it. They are also a decade behind. Rolls-Royce just signed preparatory contracts in the UK aiming for a Final Investment Decision in 2029. Their best-case scenario for hitting the grid is the mid-to-late 2030s, while Oklo is already tracking for 2027/2028 deployment. Another huge downside is that they are irrelevant to the U.S. market. Rolls-Royce is a UK/European government-backed play. They aren't a serious competitor domestically, and they certainly aren't competing for the American hyperscaler pipelines that Oklo has already penetrated (like their 1.2 GW binding agreement). Finally, you're comparing legacy tech to Gen IV. The RR SMR is literally just a shrunken-down PWR. Oklo is deploying a gen-IV SFR that can operate for years without refueling and eventually recycle nuclear waste. Comparing a 470 MW European PWR slated for 2035 to a U.S. fast micro-reactor slated for 2027 just proves you fundamentally misunderstand the use-cases of the advanced nuclear market.

*10% to play with would be my guideline. But otherwise I agree. "The market" is the S&P 500, so an ETF that tracks that is what I'd recommend (it’s what I choose myself). I’m more interested in not trailing the market than I am in beating the market. (I use margin to beat the market.) Since you’re UK based, you need to also decide whether you want to be exposed to currency exchange risk. You can get ETFs that remove that risk.

The only index fund you'll ever need is VWRP. It's a global index fund and captures the mega caps, the medium caps, the small caps, the US, UK, Europe, Asia, developed Africa and South America. The world only ever gets richer over the long term, so why not invest in the world?

I use LGGG ETF. UK based.

ImperioRomeno

Ok so idk if this is advice or not, but I would say mix, especially you being from the UK you could buy a bit into Europes ETFs. There's no real pension system in the US they all invest their wealth into the SP, it's basically a retirement fund with promised future gains. At least with European stocks it growns slower but it's not attached to people no longer working

maximalsimplicity

Not American, but in the UK. We have access to many of the same index funds as you guys have across the pond. Maybe an all-world, S&P and a smaller portion into some tech ETFs. Maybe only keep 20% of the portfolio for individual stocks maybe?

This is FATCA, I suspect that it won't be a problem for someone moving from the UK to Germany. I am saying that technically if you are a German tax resident, it makes sense to maximize the amount of Germany-sourced income and minimize the amount of foreign-sourced one.

It was Cineworld (CINE). At the time, it was the second largest cinema chain in the world - was headquartered in the UK. The play was that once Covid restrictions are relaxed, revenue and margins would return to some degree of normality, and the share price would recover alongside. What I found out too late was that the company had over $10bn of debt and had a huge legal case ongoing. They lost the case, were ordered to pay over $800m, and the creditors just said no more and let the company fold. After that, I always read the financial statements of a company first. Fortunately, haven’t made such a big mistake again.

Ok-Aspect62

The fact that you're asking "is it really just index funds?" after 5 years of underperformance is honestly more self-awareness than most retail investors develop in a lifetime. Yes. It's index funds. Not because picking stocks is impossible, but because the edge required to consistently beat the market is something even most professionals don't have — and they do it full time, with Bloomberg terminals and analyst teams. You didn't fail because you're dumb. You failed because you played a game where the house wins 80% of the time, and nobody told you that at the door. $800/month into a global index fund (VWRP if you're in the UK) for the next 20 years will almost certainly outperform whatever your smartest stock pick would've been. The boring truth is that consistency and low fees beat conviction and research for 99% of people. Your 23-year-old self losing money is actually the cheapest tuition you'll ever pay. Most people learn this at 45.

I did not, as i did not know how long i would be in that country in either case. I did not want to realise gains and incur fees moving more money than required. I just started investing in the new country as made sense for being a tax resident there. There can be cases where that doesnt make sense, I know the UK offers a way to move investments across without paying CGT in the UK if you're a new entrant. Unrealized gains tax in some countries could also complicate it

Illustrious-Owl-2755

I am not familiar with increasing in Europe and the UK, but when I moved from my home country to the US, the accountant recommended me _very warmly_ to liquidate my assets and re-buy them in the US. The reason for that is that the brokerages publish tax reports according to the tax rules of the country where they are situated, so if you keep your holdings aboard, it will be very difficult and expensive to pay taxes in your country of tax residence. Examples (again, not EU/UK): US taxes long- and short-term securities (held for over or under a year) differently. The annual report abroad won't have this break-down, I would have to go over all sales and dividends and do the math manually. Another example: my country doesn't tax reinvested dividends until liquidation, so the underlying indexes for all index funds are total-return. For the US tax report, I would need to pay the tax each year and then, for each reinvested lot, keep track of a second cost basis, and the brokerages won't help me.

Besides GLP-1, their other revenue lines are growing. [https://www.reddit.com/r/HIMS/](https://www.reddit.com/r/HIMS/) Just looking at the hair loss product results, it is quite amazing. I would say they are in a good position to legitimize some of the peptides. Right now, it is a grey market; you are buying from some unknown compounder in China. While it is cheap and looks like it works, I believe people will pay a premium to buy from an American brand. Another main focus is their overseas adoption. They bought Eucalyptus, which is the market leader in Australia, the UK, and Germany. They are also expanding into Japan and Canada. If they can duplicate their model overseas, that will be a huge subscription gain. The next earning call might pull them back a bit as their revenue will be hurt as they can't sell GLP-1 compound, however long term, if they execute as planned, i can see them at least going back to $70

Jealous_Tutor_5135

I'm in Argentina. What people consider "severe" in the United States has much more to do with vibes than with what an economy can actually handle. The bigger fear about inflation is not the inflation itself, but consumers' reaction to it. - Asset prices track fundamentals, but aren't determined by them, but by demand, simple as. See Tesla. - This is global, and it's relative. What does a UK pension fund invest in? Shaky fundamentals and fears of a US tech bubble may not mean that other options are necessarily better. In Argentina, property is often valued higher than other investments. Not because there's something special about it, but because currency controls, an unstable economy, and a capricious government just make other investments worse.

Thanks. In my research, the picture is slightly more nuanced than a clean 'they now only resell NVO's product' as it seems compounding is still permitted but on a limited basis only.

The war is going to end there's no doubt. People in leadership will sell out for their own personal gain. They will benefit/ have benefited and will want peace for their own benefit. So it doesn't really matter what the sentiment of the public is. Just the leadership. I'm sure both sides have done well in all of this - Trump and his friends for sure have made bank past few weeks and a mirror image of last year. The timing with UK tax year is remarkable. If you ddidnt make money both times thats your loss.

Seems like other sources are picking up on this as well. # Iranian gunboats fire on tanker in Strait of Hormuz There have been reports of gunfire after at least two merchant vessels tried to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, the news agency Reuters reports, citing three maritime sources. Iran had earlier reversed the brief reopening of the key waterway, accusing the US of not meeting its obligations under a ceasefire agreement. The UK Maritime Trade Operations reports that it has recorded a reported incident near the strait northeast of Oman. The captain of a tanker said his vessel had been approached by gunboats of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, who opened fire, according to the Royal Navy-run organisation. But the tanker and its crew are reportedly safe. Earlier, during the strait's brief reopening, several vessels had started moving through the shipping lane in what Reuters called the "first major movement" of ships in the strait since the start of the war. **Convoy appears to have dispersed** The convoy that had formed appears to have dispersed by now, however, as recent tracking data from the platform MarineTraffic shows.

The incident took place 20 miles (32km) north-east of Oman. The tanker and crew have been reported safe, UKMTO adds. Separately, at least two merchant vessels say they were hit by gunfire as they attempted to cross the strait, three sources have told the Reuters news agency.

Yes. Key examples of Iran's noncompliance include: - Enrichment Levels: Increasing uranium enrichment to 60% and 20%, far exceeding the 3.67% limit. - Stockpile Limits: Exceeding the allowed metric tons of heavy water and exceeding the 300kg limit on enriched uranium hexafluoride. - Advanced Centrifuges: Installing and operating advanced centrifuges (IR-4, IR-5, IR-6) prohibited by the deal. - Nuclear Material & Sites: Failing to declare nuclear material, with particles enriched up to 83.7% found at the Fordow facility. - IAEA Inspections: Restricting IAEA access to military sites and suspending monitoring, including cameras at nuclear sites, since February 2021. - R&D Prohibitions: Conducting prohibited R&D, such as uranium metallurgy. [Congress.gov - Iran’s Nuclear Program: Tehran’s Compliance with International Obligations](https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R40094#:~:text=According%20to%20IAEA%20reports%2C%20Iran's,as%20well%20as%20centrifuge%20installation.) [UK Parliament House of Commons - What is the status of Iran’s nuclear programme and the JCPOA?](https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9870/#:~:text=Since%20May%202019%2C%20however%2C%20Iran,Iran%20to%20a%20nuclear%20weapon?)

Also, the IAEA director's statements are the subject of intense debate between international monitors and intelligence agencies. While the 2015 report stated there were "no credible indications" of weaponization activities after 2009, subsequent discoveries suggest Iran was simply maintaining the knowledge and materials to build a bomb later while technically pausing active development. Further, all of the IAEA inspections were announced, which is kind of like giving MLB players a few months notice before their steroids tests. That's what led to Israeli intelligence releasing their "Atomic Archive" in 2018 after they seized documents from a warehouse in Tehran. Experts from the Arms Control Association and U.S. officials stated these files proved Iran had a more extensive, coordinated weapons program, named "Project Amad", than it previously admitted. Following the information in the archive, the IAEA investigated several new locations, such as Turquzabad and Varamin, where it found traces of processed uranium. Iran has not provided any credible explanations for those materials. That's what led to the US and others to argue that the 2015 "closure" of the issue was premature. But, that didn't matter as much because it was clear Iran was also violating terms of the UN Resolution (2231) that was designed to prevent Iran from working on missiles designed to carry nuclear warheads. Then, they focused on "dual-use" research to make their IR-6 centrifuges, which were "technically" for civilian use, but there is really no need to develop them at all unless they wanted to rapidly enrich uranium beyond 60% quickly. So, that's basically like a child holding a box of matches and gasoline, and telling you that they just wanted to start the kitchen stove easier. It's all very telling when taken all together. For what it's worth, I'm a Democrat. I think Trump is a complete imbecile, but I still supported the US pulling out of that deal.

I have a strong hypothesis (and I'm putting my money where my mouth is right now) that the war is one of three big factors that is going to boost the renewables sector dramatically. I've bolded some words below to help people scan, not because I'm using AI. The emerging realisation of how fragile liquid fuels supply chains area is going to trigger **energy security policy reform** in almost every country around the world. I'm foreseeing a mix of investment in sovereign refineries, and also massive investments in wind, solar and geothermal, strongly funded or incentivised by Government programs. Suddenly, renewables won't be about saving the lives of your grandkids anymore - it will be about reducing dependence on oil, gas and thermal coal. The **end of the Trump era is near.** It could happen in the mid-terms, but it will definitely happen in 2028. Trump has managed to deteriorate US investment in 'windmills' and other renewables, and has reduced programmatic funding flows for international renewables in low-middle income countries. Once he's gone, particularly if it's a decisive vote, demand for large projects will come roaring back. The rise of AI means that **data centres are going to be hungry for power**. It makes no economic, environmental or even social sense for data centres to be hooked up to a grid powered by centralised fossil fuel infrastructure. Data centres are going to drive innovation in the renewables sector that will make cheaper, more localised and more efficient renewables available to everyone. So yes, the war will probably go on for the next two years, which is awful. But pivoting to a renewables ETF - especially in countries that are being damaged the most by petrochemical shortages like Australia, UK and India (and who are responding with energy security reviews) is a very sound idea because of this.

AlgonikHQ

Worth noting this answer differs significantly depending on whether you’re in the US or UK. If you’re in the UK like myself, use a Stocks and Shares ISA. Any gains inside the ISA are completely tax free, no CGT, no reporting, no setting aside percentages. This makes the entire question irrelevant for ISA holdings. If you’re in the US or trading outside an ISA, the standard approach is setting aside 20-30% of realised gains in a money market fund or high yield savings account rather than cash, so it’s earning something while sitting there. The risk you describe of reinvesting tax money and having it drop is real and has caught a lot of people out. Keeping tax provisions in something stable and liquid is the safe approach. If you’re UK based the ISA wrapper is the single most important tax planning tool available and worth maximising before worrying about anything else. Good luck with it

Oil is about to rip. The — “UK running out of jet fuel in 6 weeks” headline is gaining legs. Probably a nothing burger. But it’s a sticky headline that’s gunna work through the rest of the week. Hopefully talks are going.

Poly market only has a 37% chance for military operations to end by May 1. We better hope those talks are going really well. Before the UK runs out of jet fuel

It's the same in UK over a certain amount.

I'm right there with you. The UK is now predicting food shortages due to the Strait. I don't get it but going to hold on a little longer in my darkened room.

A poll from. 2018 shows plenty do! https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/13/about-12-percent-of-people-buying-concert-ticketsget-scammed-.html It cost people in the UK almost 7 million from 2024. https://altiaintel.com/latest-data-reveals-6-7m-was-lost-to-ticket-fraud-last-year/ https://www.wcpo.com/money/consumer/dont-waste-your-money/concert-ticket-scams-getting-worse-family-loses-1-400-on-fake-tickets Scammers are fast and will take full advantage of this. This isn't the airlines pal.

Why doesn't the UK produce oil then? Oh wait, they actually do. Calls it is.

The UK came out and said they have 6 weeks of jet fuel left. SPY to 8000

Did anyone in the UK get the new Google finance version ? I was checking this week but still don't have the option to switch to beta

you're not being naive, but just keep in mind that's specifically the US market. there's a bit of survivorship bias there — we happened to be the dominant economy for the last century. japan, UK, etc tell a different story. that said, as someone in my late 20s with a long horizon, the stat is still pretty comforting tbh. i just wouldn't use it as the *only* reason to stay all-in equities.

UK economy grew 0.5% in February, beating economists’ expectations by a long shot... 😂

The UK grid ran on 77 percent renewables the other day. Electric cars are everywhere. Solar is cheap as chips. Yes we need oil for airlines and plastics so we can pollute the oceans with a muffin case from the supermarket, but oil is going to get phased out for land transportation. I'm hopeful we use this shock to move to better alternatives faster.
