Congrats on actually walking away, most people who get the +24% don't. On the question itself the data is clear and it's the same data everyone quotes: Vanguard compared lump sum with spreading it over 6-12 months across the US, UK and Australian markets, and lump sum came out ahead about two thirds of the time, because the market goes up more often than it goes down and cash earns less while you wait. DCA isn't a return strategy, it's a regret-management strategy. Which is fine. If putting $230K in on a Monday and watching it drop 8% on Thursday would make you do something stupid, spreading it over a few months is the price of not doing something stupid. "Wait for a correction" is the one with the bad record. The market closes at an all-time high on roughly one trading day in fourteen, and returns after buying at a high have been as good as or better than buying on any random day. The dip you're waiting for often bottoms above today's price. Two boring things before any of that: you sold at a gain, so if you held under a year there's short-term capital gains tax coming on the $44K, set that aside first. And "which ETFs" matters far less than people argue about, the big broad index funds differ by a few basis points. Pick one broad one and stop looking at it. No GME position.
Yeah, in the UK, you can book the loss in the tax year that it happened, an carry it forward from there and subtract from your gains.

As a Brit itβs alarming how quiet the Democrats are against the tide of corruption, poor decision making, tariffs, support for Dictators, ridicule of Zelensky, alienation of allies, attacks on the media whilst claiming free speech etc etc has been. Where is the call to vote coming from the Dems? Or has Trump just totally dominated all media? There does not appear to be any opposition to this orange idiot! In France theyβd be in the streets, Iβd like to think the same in the UK as well ( at least the media have started to show Farage for what he is)β¦The US just appears to be that there is no alternative to a complete twat who can be bought because he just wants to enrich himself at the expense of the world economy.
UK oil is $117 not US
It's all been mostly a mirage from the beginning. From your first sentence: >RZLV announced a strategic partnership with Google cloud November 20 2024 and Microsoft Azure on 3 October 2024 What wasn't announced but in the disclosures is these "partnerships" are commitments by Rezolve to buy Microsoft and Google services, to the tune of 160M+ over 5 years. Same with Amazon. Rezolve team visits AWS and retail pumpers get giddy, but it's Rezolve paying AWS $40M (~8 per year). Every software company (including the one I work for) has these "partnerships". Rezolve is one of 1000s of these partners buying these services. If you want to see who Google's real partners are in agentic AI for e-commerce, they built their tech stack Β in collaboration with almost 60 companies, none of which was Rzlv, but all the usual large and also small players. And of course it's powered by Gemini (not BrainSuite). This is all easily searchable but ignored by the RZLV Army. Likewise everyone flipped out originally by Rezolve announcing MasterCard "selected them" as agentic AI partner. Nope. The details were in the fine print that it's non-exclusive reseller agreement. And all those announcements have been pulled because I would bet Mastercard's larger partners were pissed at the way Rezolve framed it. MC already announced partnership with PayPal on Agent Pay a year ago (https://www.mastercard.com/us/en/news-and-trends/press/2025/october/Mastercard-and-PayPal-join-forces.html). Rezolve's PR on their relationship was total spin. And got tanked right away. Likewise the institutional investments announced last year were all spin. Citadel was a short term hedge fund play on volatility (likely covering their own shorts or lending to shorts) and made out to be validation of Rezolve's tech. Vanguard, State Street, etc. were all passive flows due to RZLV addition to Russell 2000. Yet, Dan Wagner himself used that to claim validation and make it appear institutions were actively getting on Rezolve. As soon as Rezolve was removed from R2000 this June, those flows immediately dried up. Volume has been dramatically lower. They rank near bottom in institutional investment. It was always BE from the start. And don't even get me started on the buyback ruse. Announcing a buyback while cash flow negative that you plan to borrow for (in a rate hiking environment lol) was always a stunt. We now know they diluted 50M shares after announcing buyback authorization and waiting for UK court ruling. It's been all smoke and mirrors. The bottom line is they've bought almost all their revenue, are in debt, have postponed path to profitability (last December it was to be in 3 quarters, 3 quarters later it's still announced they are 3 quarters away), and have absolutely no real moat in a highly competitive space in which they are a tiny minnow swimming with sharks. Market manipulation is their only strategy. If you don't believe it, then just look at the trading. Β If they are so undervalued and dislocated from their true potential, where are the insider trades? All these directors from all their corporate leaders in these businesses and none are buying it either.

Iβve got 10% in money market funds so basically cash, 8% in bonds and 8% in infrastructure funds. Iβm 38 and a little more defensive as our household income already reduced significantly over the last 3 years due to the state of the job market and retraining in a new field. So for any unplanned expenses (house repairs, vets bills etc) I currently have to draw down from my investment accounts. The bonds and infrastructure funds are dividend paying so can increase the cash reserves or be invested in stocks of my choice depending on how things are going (Iβm in the UK and weβre not taxed on dividends for investments held in retirement or ISA accounts, all of mine is in these type of accounts) This portfolio has been performing pretty well tbh, my return over the last year has been 14%, I took out about 4.5% in the same time period. So if I didnβt have to touch that money my return would have been higher.

This is how literally every empire ends btw with idiots suggesting that somehow the empire is better off "alone." The UK sure is a global powerhouse these days huh? Same with France, Italy, Turkey, and every other former empire. Ironically Russia is doing the opposite and trying to recreate their empire, all while tou suggest that we're better off letting them do so. Surely no longterm negative consequences from that huh?
Call on the Houthis, they've been crazily effective (https://www.reuters.com/world/least-18-killed-houthi-attack-yemeni-government-military-camp-shabwa-sources-say-2026-10-19/). They beat Saudi, Israel, the US, UK and then Saudi-UAE again. Resilient as Hell these guys.
French people have been rioting for eons, they used to like burning our UK beef trucks, so if immigrants are getting involved too you could say they have integrated well. A true immigration success story. French also helped European immigrants founder the USA. You are basically descendants of immigrants in a baby country.
And this is why the UK doesn't want to adopt the Euro. For some reason that makes a lot of Europeans mad, but it's clearly in their best interest to not adopt it.
The UK ranks 3rd in the world behind the US and Germany for data centre builds.

It's the UK.... they have spent the last 20 years deciding whether to build one railway line and a runway at Heathrow. 20 years and billions of ££ spent and still they are no close to building either. A decaying country wrapped up in regulations, red tape and NIMBY'S.
Only France and the UK
This is a general issue in the UK though, they can't build infrastructure. If you build anything, anything at all that needs a direct grid connection, you will be waiting for it for years. I can remember 10 years ago from my friend in biotech that his employer had finished construction on a large campus of labs, but could only open a small portion of the site. The rest of the site was snarled up in a waiting list for electric grid connections, eventually they abandoned half of it and moved those projects to France.

**Microsoft pulls out of UK data centre deal with Nscale** It's over ! (β\_β)
Close. I was born in the UK, grew up in Switzerland and now live in Asia.
Firstly I'm not American, so am not USD dependent specifically, the majority concentration there is because US companies tend to lead and the currency remains a de facto (at this time) global currency . I'm originally from the UK and live in Asia. The swiss franc currency and respective blue chips investments there are an extremely robust hedge. Check history, five and ten year CHF vs USD is 2.1% per year against the US Dollar. The rest of it is diversification across strong companies. This portfolio, in drawdowns....COVID and the tariff shock has beaten the SP500 by a notable percentage (eg COVID SP down 32%, me half that). A function of currency and market diversification. I have my reasons. I live off my investments and the income. I do hold a good amount of growth, the usual suspects, Apple, Alphabet, Meta etc etc, but my main focus is not that. It is preservation of capital, stability and income.
Exactly, by definition the LDI pension should be agnostic of bond pricing and yields. I.e. they buy duration equal to their liability payment schedule and then hold to material. In practice they would take some positions as exact matching isn't economic. However the market had become far more dominated by leveraged speculative positions. One of the recommendations at the end of this was the UK should reduce the amount of p Ng durations gilts issued, because the traditional buyers no longer have the same demand
Bingo. Thatβs in UK there are too many regulations hurdles in UK. You just proved my point about lock of knowledge you have. It should tell you how compute constraint we are that msft doesnβt want to wait till 2030
A year? Thereβs an article here about MS exiting a data center agreement in the UK because they wouldnβt be able to secure their grid connection until after 2030.Β
I'll give it a go. Firstly it's useful to understand the chronology and specific circumstances - the previous prime minister resigned due to loss of confidence from their own parties Members of parliament and a contest was run over the summer to replace him within that party. We have parliamentary system rather than presidential, but the best analogy would is that it's like a primary. So the next PM was essentially chosen by 200k party members and the less centrist option won. - the queen died within days of the new PM gaining power (and before parliament had come back from summer break) - that ate any room for politics for weeks on end. Then we had what is called 'party conference season' and that limited political messaging. - meanwhile inflation was rampant globally and bond yields were rising rapidly everywhere. So the context is that we went into the budget with a globally volatile picture, but also a long period of domestic policy ambiguity What went wrong? - decision to sidestep the 'Office of Budgetary Responsibility'. They were created 12 years prior to stop governments stacking the deck on budgets by making unrealistic assumptions. There are valid criticisms of the OBR, but these arguments were not made. They just ignored it, unsurprisingly that made markets suspicious of the reliability of the budget forecasts - the budget itself. It increased the budget deficit (that was already quite big), mostly due to tax reduction. It also had some assumptions that power tax would spur growth and close future deficits - that might be right or wrong but it's easy to see that it is uncertain. It was also politically contentious too as much of the tax reduction went to the top end of the spectrum. So you had increasing yields globally and then slapped on a surprise higher borrowing demand. - the pensions. Traditionally a lot of pensions in the UK were employer backed defined benefit schemes, many of these though were closed to new entrants around c2000. Historically providers would match these long duration liabilities by buying long duration assets (i.e. 30 year gilts). So the UK has has historically issued a far larger share of gilts at long duration due to this demand. However, it really didn't dial this back when these pension schemes closed. So we ended up with a market for long duration gilts that was far more exposed to short term traders than it used to be. Meanwhile , many of those institutions had leveraged up on these assets. Leverage x long duration is not great in an environment of volatile yields+ a surprise borrowing need in the budget. You had institutions hitting stops and margin calls, triggering forced sales, triggering more stops etc. The management around the budget was poor and likely thislack of political skill/management would have bit at some point Assessing the budget itself is more a political choice, but I'd say that if the same thing was delivered a month later then nothing would have happened.
I agree. Look at the UK. Itβs in perpetual paralysis over building anything, mired in endless regulation and red tape.
Tbf the National Grid is finally getting round to upgrading the grid with the βBig Upgradeβ so once thatβs finished in the next few years thatβs one less bottleneck to deal with. https://www.nationalgrid.com/the-great-grid-upgrade The other issue with the UK is the planning system, can take years of not decades in some cases to get stuff built.
I don't think it's a house of cards in that ai is obviously here to stay but it's history repeating that those that finance the intial build out often do badly. It's very similar to the vast cost of building UK railway infrastructure in the 1840s, the speculation boom and the likes of Charlottle BrontΓ« (her sister wrote Wuthering Heights) complaining her shares shot then dumped as credit tightened around 1847.Β

I think your either confused or spreading misinformation. The is no dead deal with Nebius, you probably mean the UK Nscale data centre deal which is a completely different company.
This isnβt just a UK problem. I have small positions in nbis, coreweave, and iren but I keep it small since facilities with utility contracts doesnβt just magically appear in a few months because there is money on the table. It takes years to build. You canβt expedite hardware / physical things by throwing money at it. Making physical βthingsβ is different in that aspect compared to software. Customers backing out because a supplier canβt delivery on schedule as contracted is normal.
Sounds great. Never been to NY (Iβm in UK), a marathon sounds like a great way to take in the best bits :hmmm:
It was because the National Grid couldn't. Don't try and build anything in the UK. We have the highest energy prices in the world, and it takes us 40 years to build half a high speed train line.
If you go to the UK there's absolutely no way their grid would support anything at the moment. Microsoft likely pulled out because they couldn't hold their promise
The issues in the UK aren't just be connected to the grid but all the planning regulations you have to pass to get something like this through. If you deviate from plans (I.e. closed loop to draining system), the planning office at the council can force the data centre to be closed until it's changed. This applies to anything in the UK. This screams of being a convenient excuse from Microsoft to dial back some data centre investment. Suspect over this week, we'll hear of more deals unwinding.
Any sort of planning permission in the UK for anything is very difficult. I know people trying to do tiny 30m2 extensions on their houses caught in the planning process for years.
Bro this aint the US. They over reached and shows how bad they are when planning shit. Projects take forever to complete here because there is so much red tape. The UK in general is a cluster fuck, uninvestable. The only thing going for it is the financial service industry
Utilities/energy infrastructure confirmed as the bottleneck at least in the UK.
Personally as someone actually payijg for electricity in the UK, I'd rather not be dealing with blackouts so a billionaire can get richer. There is s reasonable large city next toΒ Loughton that consumes quite a lot of power after all that I happen to live in.
If you have ever been to the UK, and basically anywhere is in Europe, then you know how woefully unprepared their grid is for any type of data center demand.Β
People in the UK are protesting the data center build outs, same as in the US.
People are deluded about UK prospects - it no longer is an empire. It no longer has countries to expropriate resources that it never had.
Yep massive L for the UK. Really shows how crap we are. So regulations and red tape everywhere. What Jensen Hoang said about the UK in his visit really resonates
I see it as demand for data centers is high. Obviously they need it now but the delays in power supply means its only available in 2030. Massive L for the UK. But players like Iren are rubbing their hands right now.
Compute already in place but no power til the 30s is wild UK is pathetic smh
"National power grid officials had told Nscale they did not expect a power supply for the data center until the 2030s." - Another great day for UK haters
Ehhh the UK laying behind on new infrastructure doesnβt mean it will happen everywhere
Microsoft pulls out of UK data center deal with Nscale, Telegraph reports
Because the UK power grid is in shambles and it is choking their industrial development across the board.
Because the system like here in the IK where I am floods the labour market with cheap 3rd world labour and removes that opportunity from the indigenous population. Its bait and switch on a continental level and we are sick of it. The scenes in France is the UK next year for sure.
It doesnt matter how the UK does after Brexit. The fact is they are out and won't be available to bail out France. Neither is Canada, Canada is not part of the EU. It's really only Germany and that's doing terribly right now
The UK leaving means they arenβt directly financially tied to failing economies. Yes, it hurt their GDP, but they wonβt own a share of Franceβs default.
> The size of the debt is less a problem than their complete unwillingness to do anything about it. They genuinely are delusional enough to think theyβve been under extreme austerity for the last 10-15 years while literally leading the world in social spending as a share of GDP. The ones rioting might very well have been under extreme austerity. The main issue in France is that [pensioneers](https://www.reddit.com/r/charts/comments/1qv8x1i/french_pensioners_now_have_higher_incomes_than/) get paid so much that they receive more in pensions than most people get paid in wages. I doubt many 65+ are out in the cities throwing rocks and setting stuff on fire. Like in the UK, no politician is willing to touch the old. Alienate them and you are out of politics the next election. Politicians would rather increase taxes or cut benefits to younger generations than touch pensions.
The issue is not that French citizens want a dignified life. It is the decades of neo-liberal policies allowing the rich to abstain from taxes and lazy economic programs with little regard for the future. But even then, just as you have, I'm being far too reductive of what is a complex situation. A situation which does not occurr in a bubble, as no internationally connected nation is ever free from the whims of its international counterparts. Which is to say that if we look beyond France we see many other nations with an eerily similar crisis brewing in the distance. A default in France could be the economic earthquake to send aftershocks around the world. Japan, the UK and the USA all look vulnerable.
Inversely, UK has been doing a lot worse since they left π it wasnβt a good move by any means Canada is in Germany and France were hit by COVID, Russia and us/iran. We only did well after C19 because we were the world reserve currency and flight to safety that let us print a shitload of money. Powell narrowly avoided a full blown recession.. only for π₯ to do, you knowβ¦ start breaking shit for no good reason. Crisis after crisis after crisis.
yep. UK is already out and Germany is struggling. And a certain quickly rising party in Germany is anti EU. France won't get bailed out
