No those are different protests. The UK government isn't going to touch Tommy Robinson and his goons. It's the hundreds of people holding up signs that say "I am against Genocide" that are being arrested.

Not really. Just look at the UK. They have their most unpopular prime minister of all time who is abusing anti terror law to silence protestors, and he still isn't out on his arse.

A KPMG report on how AI is being used by businesses across the world exaggerated adoption of the technology with bogus case studies that appear to have been based on AI hallucinations. The October report, “Redefining excellence in the age of agentic AI”, made numerous false claims about the use of AI by organisations including the Swiss bank UBS, the UK’s National Health Service and the public transit groups Swiss Federal Railways and Transport for London. The inaccuracies were identified as AI hallucinations by the research group GPTZero and verified by the FT

**No live price initially** You may not see a tradable, live share price straight away. There’s nothing wrong, it just means the opening auction is still in progress and the first traded price has not yet been set. **The timing is uncertain** The auction can last for several hours. For large, high-profile IPOs, it’s common for the first trade to happen later in the afternoon or into the early evening, UK time. We will not know the exact timing in advance. **What's happening behind the scenes?** While you’re waiting, the exchange is running a carefully managed process to set the first public market price for the newly listed company. During the auction period, global market participants, including institutional investors, market makers and the IPO underwriters, are submitting buy and sell orders to the exchange. The exchange brings these orders together to: Balance supply and demand across all orders Establish a stable, fair opening price Help reduce excessive volatility when continuous trading begins Once enough orders have been matched and a suitable price has been found, the shares will open and begin trading normally.

13 from 13 for me. UK allocation seemed to be if you requested up to 20, you got the full allocation. Anything beyond 20 you got 20% of what you asked for. So asking for 20 got you 20. Asking for 30 got you 22.

I am 24 years old, located in Spain. I want to start investing about 150€ monthly, though it will vary. In a few months I will be moving to the UK, and after one year I may remain there, move back to Spain, or move to another EU country. I want to invest into something like an EFT based on SP500, which from my understanding is quite safe and has a yearly increase of about 8%. The problem is I know nothing about investing. I don’t understand what exactly an EFT is, what separates it from other similar investments, or how to actually invest; whether to use an app, a website, a bank, or what. Additionally, I don’t exactly want to support American companies and would rather support European ones, if possible. Is there an equivalent to SP500, but for Europe? My main problems is that I know investing moves a lot of money, and so I expect any source of information to possibly have ulterior motives. I can’t rely on the internet, influencers or llms because they are likely to give me inaccurate information, and books and other sources are probably both biased and obsolete. How can I learn about all of this?

There's a big obvious turning point in the Ukraine War when StarLink turned off the Russian modems/receivers/routers (?) and allowed Ukraine to keep theirs. Consumer/retail isnt even important with US and EU/UK military spending in the trillions/yr and months of battlefield evidence imo. I mean, fuck Musk, but this is kinda undeniable.

I'd say the demand for trips to orbit is *sub*stantially higher than the global demand for nuclear submarines (thankfully). Though the UK fleet could certainly use a refresh! Apparently there were a total of \~324 launches in 2025, and that was a 25% increase over 2024. Pretty good growth for a year. Compared to maybe 5 new subs, that are expected to spend decades in service. Being able to re-use boosters to reduce the time between launches, and price of those launches was a *major innovation* and remains a significant advantage that SpaceX has over any competitors. And the speed of innovation over there seems rather fast. (fwiw, I am not buying in, and am in index funds which are not taking SpaceX on. Just theorising on why people might be.)

Wise_Art_1377

Did you hear about what happened right before south sea company crashed? They would have to make 25 percent of the entire UK economy.

fairlyaveragetrader

Well, the aren't would be global population. A lot of these power hungry countries are going into population decline. In the UK for example it's something like 1.3 babies per woman. That's a decline in population. GDP is stagnant. So is demand really expanding on energy? Especially considering we already have a little bit of a hype cycle going on with some of the best sources like uranium? I'm not really sure but I'm also going to say that I have no idea what is going to work for the next 10 years. We haven't had a demographic backdrop like this before. Currently inflation is helping to carry assets higher in general. But if someone wants to buy energy, at least personally the only thing that makes sense is nuclear. Uranium reactors are easy. Thorium reactors are extremely interesting but no major companies seem to be investing in them. The other thing is I haven't seen any new permits for major nuclear reactors at least in the united states.

The platform so strict that won’t allow you to trade options unless you are a multimillionaire and then punish you for a single day trade threatening with account limitations? They may be “honest” but it is painful platform to use. I guess making money is just illegal in the UK.

For your brokerage, you can choose IBKR (Interactive Brokers), which excellently serves international clients. For ETFs, you can opt for VT for global market exposure, invest in VOO, or give priority to SPYM. Like VOO, SPYM tracks the S&P 500 but features a lower share price and a cheaper management fee. Alternatively, you can enable UK stock trading on IBKR to buy London-listed ETFs. For instance, VWRA tracks the global market, and VUAA tracks the S&P 500. Both are accumulating ETFs—meaning they don't pay out dividends but automatically reinvest them to maximize the compounding effect. This approach saves you a significant amount in taxes. For one, the dividend withholding tax sent to the US government is reduced to just 15%. Furthermore, because these ETFs are domiciled in Ireland, they are exempt from US estate tax. To put that into perspective, the US only grants a $60,000 estate tax exemption to non-US citizens. Anything over $60,000 is hit with a massive 40% tax. For example, on a $1 million portfolio, the US government would take $400,000, leaving your family with only $600,000. On top of that, your home country might levy its own estate tax depending on your local tax laws. Therefore, investing in Irish-domiciled ETFs is your best bet. However, keep in mind that IBKR is virtually the only US brokerage available to foreigners that allows access to the UK market. Other US brokers only let you buy US-listed stocks, leaving you vulnerable to the 30% US dividend tax and the 40% estate tax.

Everyone is focusing on SPCX, i'm pushing funds into ELAN due to beef shortage that is gonna get worse going into 2027. Since ELAN is one of the main players for parasite vaccines, they are set to capitalize on this in a unique assymetric way. Only other competitor is UK based and facing scrutiny. Could be a potential bottleneck play. Taco fucked up my entry slightly, but calls are still decently cheap.

13-15p is way less than the all-in cost of wind or solar (including the entire equivalent in backup). UK 'green' subsidies are £18bn a year currently, and rising. That's over £600 per household.

I assume the EU will be forced by Trump to use Starshield (UK already signed up last week) and it will boost SPCX. I would wait with shorting for some major fail with Starship. But if they succeed with a datacenter demo deploy, sky is the limit.

Nitpicking here, but this: \> Feds are expected to raise interest rates, making bonds more attractive. And this: \> Another aspect is that Gold is traded in USD, and the currency seems to be strengthening right now Aren’t “different aspects”, they’re the exact same thing. USD strengthens because people sell other stuff to buy USD (that they need to buy the now higher-yielding treasuries). The drop in the dollar price of gold has nothing to do with “gold being traded in USD”. You’d see the exact same thing if you looked at the price of gold in GBP when UK inflation surprises to the upside. Doesn’t mean that “gold is traded in GBP” either. Gold isn’t “traded in” anything, it’s just gold. It has a price in USD, and a price in GBP, and a price in EUR, …, even a price in AMZN shares if you find some platform crazy enough that it lets you exchange AMZN shares for gold. \_\_P.S.\_\_ also minor point, but it’s not “Feds are expected to raise interest rates”. At the moment, the FBI has no power over interest rates, and I hope that’s not changing any time soon. It’s “the Fed is expected to raise interest rates”. There is only one Federal Reserve System.

Some poor schmucks are gonna get market orders filled at an insane price on IPO day and become instant bagholders for months/years. I'm in the UK and my brokerage today offered me a "pre-order" for spacex, never seen that before. Looking into it, it looks like a queue for market orders on IPO day. No limit order, just get in the queue and wait for your order to be filled apparently...

TB and brucellosis used to be widespread here up until the 1960's (my aunt did from TB at 16), not to mention the BSE outbreak in the UK in the 80's/90's, so the Department absolutely do not mess around with this. Every herd gets tested regularly for TB, and *every single animal* over four years old must be tested for BSE before processing or disposal. (The vets slice open the skulls and take a scoop of brain tissue from the brain stem to send to a lab). We haven't had a positive case of BSE in almost thirty years, but testing for it hasn't let up one jot. Not that I'm complaining, it's what keeps me in a full time job.

Fair question. I'm not finding what I remember finding last time on a cursory pre-work search, but the CPA Journal suggest the longer term decision making is a proposed benefit that doesn't change with research. I appear to have mixed it up in my memory with what I'm remembering from the source I found before that I can't find now. Citation from the CPA journal: * Nallareddy, Pozen, and Rajgopal found that when the United Kingdom changed public companies’ required public reporting frequency, it virtually did not impact companies’ internal investment decisions (“Consequences of More Frequent Reporting: The UK Experience,” *Journal of Law, Finance, and Accounting*, vol. 6, no. 1, pp.51–88, 2021).

I know a farmer in the UK. Quite well off... Anyway - the story here is that this farmer is a futures trader. Yeah - he grows stuff, but the biggest part of his business is managing the prices he gets for his crops - so 80% of his day is buying and selling option contracts on the stuff he produces. He explained to me that when he took over from his Dad - they were at the mercy of spot pricing, and nearly went bankrupt several times, so he learned the markets which helps him to normalize his revenue stream and also to anticipate what he should plant. He often sells a contract a year or more before he even plants. Dude was very cool. Kinda a cross between a country farmer and a stock broker. He knew his shit too.

Chiming in from UK here; Live Cattle commodities are seriously going to pop like Silver last year. There is no farmer or producer who see a reduction in the cost of raising or even keeping cattle alive for the foreseeable future - water, fertiliser, arable land, diseases are all going to become more problematic. Most countries are going to get heatwaves from super el Nino. By-products of cattle; leather, proteins milk etc are also essential to major industries. e.g. for a company like McDonalds, they HAVE to pay the market price regardless for their staple business to exist. https://preview.redd.it/0t0qbihzx56h1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=f10161e1e1ed5b75b230a3cdd963221b63bb99d5

Plausible, this is exactly how most nuclear power stations operate and why they're situated close to huge bodies of water. Hinkley point c for example, here in the UK. 2 intake tunnels stretching out to sea, with a single outfall tunnel. I dont know enough about what's capable offshore, but perhaps you could cool the centres better if they were fully submersed, but then they'd need a power supply, either something on location, be it nuclear/wind/wave/solar, or a power supply linked to shore. Idk. Its late and im thinking out loud 😂

The oil spike and market crash is only a matter of time. Best case scenario for a fast reopening (which wouldn’t actually save us because it is already too late to avoid a shit show) appears to be Iran charging tolls, which would require the US, EU, and UK to remove their sanctions on Iran and remove the IRGC’s terrorist organization designation. If you think that’s ever going to happen, let alone happen in a matter of days or weeks, I have an MOU to sell you.
