Gains from options are subject to CGT in the UK. You'll have a tax bill you need to pay. The good news is you made the gains in the same year as your losses, so they net off, but you'll still likely have liability on the gains you did crystalise. If you'd crystalised and kept the £1m you'd have lost best part of a quarter of it in tax anyway. Sucks, eh?

Depends, if he did it in an ISA (UK tax free wrapper) the taxman would have taken nothing.

deeznuts69

I had a similar experience, albeit not quite as bad. The solution was to stop with Robinhood and disable options. Even better is to close all trading accounts. Put the money an index fund platform that doesn’t offer options or anything with leverage. That’s how Vanguard is here in the US. Maybe there is the equivalent in the UK. Stop going on WSB and similar subreddits. Then you will be free.

Yea you're not investing you're gambling. The issue is that it's an addiction and you will always chase that 1 million high and have your mind going about what ifs scenarios. Take what you have put it on an ETF, work your regular job, save and you'll be doing much better than the average person I the UK by the time you reach retirement age. The good thing is at 30 age and time on the market are on your side.

They sell their oil and gas and use hydropower for themselves. They’ve just been smart and used the resources for the country instead of selling them off to some company that then fled to the UK once they ran out of gas. (it’s what happened in the Netherlands, gas money was just added to the general budget instead of saving it but also basically Shell and Exxon were given the rights to make even more money out info it)

> > > The UK is choosing to export our own oil and gas from Norway because of people like yourself who vaguely misunderstand something This is where I'm bailing on this thread. You are not accepting any argument I present to you, you are not backing up this idea that "the UK" is "exporting our own oil and gas." We sell licences to private companies who trade that on international markets: that is the end. The government could take oil and gas into public ownership, but at a huge disparity for the operations and knowledge involved - and the ripple effects of such a decision would impact private companies. And again: for what? A huge investment, economic damage of such a decision, for an oil field near depletion. It is not economic growth at all costs. The future lies in clean and renewable technology, not at-capacity extraction. Have a good weekend.

el_dude_brother2

Because we still use it for many different things and its not neselt depleted. The conversarion was abkut Norway still uaing the same fields and goinv out looking for more.

Quality of life is different from economic growth. Quality of life has improved everywhere and in most place by more than the UK. Many improvements has nothing to do with the UK or our economic set up. Claiming our healthcare is in a good place because of scientific and medicial improvements elsewhere while 99% of people who say our NHS is worse now than 40 years ago And frankly, none of that has nothing to do with us destroying our Oil & Gas industry while Norway (a much richer country) continues to grow richer and expand their industry.

_Gobulcoque

> People like you are why the UK has done so badly economically for the last 40 years This is laughable. Life in the UK has improved significantly in 40 years, by almost every metric I can think of. Education, healthcare outcomes, salary, crime, accidents (road, rail, air, workplace, etc.), housing stock quality, your luxuries; the quality of your food, of your belongings. We can argue about this, but there's data behind it all so it's an argument you'd need to accept you're wrong about. How mad do you have to be to stand over what you have just said? The aim of the game is not pure economic growth at all costs. The reality is, I can't argue with your feelings and emotions, such that they'll only be damaged if you could rationalise facts and plan for the future to avoid devastating consequences. Snowflake.

Inevitable_Teach7942

Look across the pond. Trump delivered tax cuts to the rich, but your average man in the street is struggling with the same cost of living issues we are, with the added risk of being bankrupted by medical debt. The deficit has reached $40 trillion. Pretty much the only thing riding high are the markets and they have all the hallmarks of a bubble. If that is what a UK Trump has to offer, I think I will stick with Andy Burnham thanks.

Inevitable_Teach7942

Worshipping Trump is a pretty niche position in the UK, the vast majority of decent Brits despise him. The UK has some pretty fundamental, economic issues which none of the parties has an answer to and they have very little to do with immigration or the EU, which Farage blames for everything.

>In the UK, a court has ruled that calling a man "bald" can be considered sexual harassment, especially if it's related to his sex and creates a hostile environment. This ruling stems from a case where an electrician, Tony Finn, was allegedly harassed by his boss, who called him a "bald c***" during an argument. The court decided that the comment was related to sex because baldness is more common in men, and it violated Finn's dignity and created an intimidating environment. LMAO

Well to date Europe and the UK have been sucking up to him, signing stupid agreements with tariffs written in pencil.

HaydnH

I'm not going to agree with the way he's stated it, I'm certainly not a Trump fan. However, increasing rates to limit inflation seems like a dated idea to me, at least on some of the specific situations we've found ourselves in recently, globally speaking. The idea of increasing rates is so that people reduce spending, things are more expensive, so it cuts spending down... Yet.. we're still doing this same thing during a cost of living crisis. Over here in the UK at least. If people don't have the money to spend, how does restricting their sending further help? It just means their kids don't get nutrition, healthcare etc. To me at least, it feels like we need some different levers to pull.

We charge 70% tax on oil extraction amd sell licensea, get well paying jobs and supply chains off the back of it. Leaving it in the ground is just stuoid. Oil gets used for lots of different things, not just fuel. We can use the money to fund renewables. People like you are why the UK has done so badly economically for the last 40 years

opensim2026

And the funny thing is, gas in the US even at $4 is cheap compaired to the normal price in europe and elsewhere, there's a reason why you see large numbers of people riding mopeds and motorcycles in places like Taiwan- the gasoline costs a LOT. During the pandemic gas was around $12 US in Norway, around $10 in the UK for the equiv gallon amount, it was $5 or $6 here- HALF the price and we wondered WHY Canada wanted to ship their oil overseas thru that keystone pipeline to the gulf!

_Gobulcoque

> Scotland and UK stupidly just leaving our oil and gas in the ground while buying from abroad. The UK nor Scotland would see the products of extraction. We sell licences to private firms to drill it. Those companies then sell on the open market - they don't keep it in the UK.

Honestly, we'd rather trump than the twats we've had in the UK. I mean such up Starmer and his 'release the sausages' speech when referring to Muslims....actually fucking embarrassment.

Halbaras

This is a threat so unhinged he has no way to action it. It would mean a genuine collapse of the US economy, as everything from coffee to Nvidia chips (not made in the US) to rare earths to pharmaceuticals would become in very short supply. Actually going through with this (which is outside his power to do so) would physically put himself, Congress and the rest of the executive in danger. There would be job losses worse than 2008 and civil unrest. Every single US company operating outside the US would become a target of retaliation for an act of economic warfare, and Japan and the UK could simply dump bonds until the US capitulated. It's therefore not worth markets to take seriously, other than as a further reason to treat his administration's posts with the same reverence given to Iranian government statements and Alex Jones.

Cultural-Biscotti335

When people write off countries because of their debt, they tend to ignore the other side of the balance sheet which is assets. Japan has over $3 trillion in net foreign assets including $1.2 trillion in foreign currency reserves which, subcontracting its debt, puts it in the black. Judging a country on just its liabilities is like evaluating a business by looking only at its loans while ignoring its assets. They can afford to have low interest rates to keep the Yen low so as to boost exports. Equally their massive forex reserves can be used to intervene and raise the yen when needed. Also, almost all Japanese Government Bonds are held domestically, which means they are not at the mercy of foreign creditors. In that sense, they have more sovereignty over their finances than, say, the US or UK. Sure they have a low birth rate, just as Korea and Singapore do, but Japan also has a high standard of living, top notch infrastructure, low crime, top healthcare, and almost full employment.

**Norway's $2 trillion sovereign fund proposes deep cuts to US Treasury holdings** *NBIM recommends cutting bond index's government bond weighting to 50%. Changes would mean cutting nearly $80 billion from UST holdings, Reuters calculations show. Government bond markets spooked recently by rising inflation, government debt.* [https://www.reuters.com/business/norways-2-trillion-sovereign-fund-proposes-deep-cuts-us-treasury-holdings-2026-09-04/](https://www.reuters.com/business/norways-2-trillion-sovereign-fund-proposes-deep-cuts-us-treasury-holdings-2026-09-04/) The manager of Norway's $2.3 trillion sovereign wealth fund has proposed significantly cutting its exposure to U.S. Treasuries as part ‌of a wider shake-up of its bond investments to improve returns, according to a letter published this week. Norges Bank Investment Management has recommended reducing its weighting to government bonds within its benchmark bond index to 50% from 70%, with U.S. Treasuries, the biggest holding, getting the biggest cut, according to the letter. The changes would ​mean cutting nearly $80 billion from the fund's current holdings of about $215 billion of U.S. Treasuries as of the end of ​June, according to Reuters calculations. Government bond markets have been in turmoil recently, with long-term borrowing costs soaring as rising ⁠inflation and government debt levels spooked investors. Norway's sovereign wealth fund, the world's largest, owns on average 1.5% of all listed companies globally. Its ​scale means that portfolio decisions can influence broader market flows. ANY CHANGES WOULD BE DONE GRADUALLY, NORGES IM SAYS The fund's proposals were made in ​response to questions from Norway's finance ministry about the wealth fund's investment strategy for bonds. Norges Bank IM said it would await the ministry's response, and any changes would be done gradually to limit market impact and transaction costs. "We recommend that the government subindex of the bond index be reduced from 70% to 50%," ​Ida Wolden Bache, governor of Norges Bank, and Norges Bank IM CEO Nicolai Tangen wrote in the letter. "A government share of 50% will ​be sufficient to cover the liquidity needs, including in periods of turbulence in financial markets." The fund also proposed considering an increase in investments in unlisted assets ‌in a ⁠separate letter, in part as a way to reduce concentration risks that have grown in its equity portfolio amid the boom in the share prices of a handful of U.S. tech companies. Under its current mandate the fund can own unlisted real estate and renewable energy assets, but it has a lower share of unlisted investments than comparable funds. U.S. TREASURIES REDUCTION Norges Bank IM said the biggest change to its bond index ​would be investing in more non-government ​debt, including mortgage-backed securities, to ⁠give it better diversification and exposure to risk premiums. A spokesperson for Norges Bank IM said total U.S. dollar exposure would remain around 50%, adding: "What changes is the mix inside the dollar market: less U.S. government ​debt, correspondingly more U.S. mortgage and government-related bonds." Under the proposals, the bond index weighting to U.S. ​government bonds would reduce ⁠from 34.1% to 21.9%, according to the letter, with the allocation to euro area debt falling more modestly from 16.8% to 14.1%. The allocation to Japanese government bonds would increase from 4.6% to 7.4%, while the UK allocation would remain unchanged at 4.2%. The fund said the changes would align ⁠the index ​more closely with the broader market weightings. While U.S. Treasuries exposure would fall, the proposed ​allocation to U.S. non-government debt would jump from 16.2% to 27.6%, meaning that the overall bond index's weighting to the U.S. dollar would fall only slightly, from 52.9% ​to 52.5%.

The US is pretty comparable to some of Europe's largest economies. France, Italy, Spain and the uk. 4 out of the top 5. Japan is astronomically higher than the US, France, Italy, Spain and the UK. Us is significant because largest economy. But also, I assume most of the yen carry trade is yen to dollars. The US really needs to cut spending some and raise taxes and close loopholes a good bit and they'll be fine.

What makes France special? I agree France needs to absolutely address its budget but there are several Western countries with higher 10Y yields (UK, US, Australia). The point about Japan is not that 3% is high, it's that considering it's debt burden it's very high. 3% on 250% of debt/GDP is worse than 4.25% on 115% debt/GDP (although that's also bad).

US 10-yr yields highest since April 2007. GFC really took off in October 2007. Japan 10-yr highest since 1996. The Asian Financial Crisis began in July 1997. UK Gilts 10-yr highest since April 2008 - same month its GFC "great recession" began. The AI spend real casualty might be flooding debt markets so that government borrowing costs increase, so that people leave equities for "safe" bond yields.

Hey! I am 30 based in the UK. Currently working on £100k a year ish. Looking for some advice on my current portfolio. I currently have £96k invested with Vanguard, split: Life strategy 100% equity - £87k FTSE Global All Cap Index Fund - £7k FTSE Emerging Markets (VFEG) - £2k My questions are: Should I bother with having both Life Strategy and Global All Cap? Is there too much overlap? I recently started investing in VFEG to reduce my US/UK exposure. I’m getting increasing worried about political instability in both countries and the AI bubble which I don’t see as an imminent issue but possibly going to crash in the next 5 or so years. Any feedback / suggestion on my current portfolio? Should I be increasing bond exposure? If so any recommendations for Vanguard bonds? I’m only 30 so would prefer to be primarily in equities but I also think I need to diversify a bit more. I am an invest and forget type investor so don’t want to be actively managing my portfolio too frequently.

These etfs will be nowhere to be seen in a few years. A similar concept emerged in the UK around 2-3 decades ago, though I can't recall its name. It attracted investors with promises of high dividend yields but vanished within a few years. Any fund that promises extraordinary returns should be avoided. By design, their prices are supposed to go down.

petitchevaldemanege

> but not like anyone in Europe or Canada is really in a position to step up and buy a trillion dollars worth of UST even if they wanted to. I encourage you to checkout the timeline of holdings by European countries (including the UK). The current administration has burned a lot of goodwill. They could have stepped up (and maybe they will), but the chances are lower now.

Not being contradictory, but why does it always look so nice and clean everywhere though, and Tokyo etc lit up like Xmas trees. Shouldn't it just be dirt roads and people living in shacks?

JohnPaulDavyJones

You're not wrong that Japan's holdings are massive for foreign governments and a relatively small share of the net debt, but I disagree with you immensely on the impact if Japan were to sell en masse. Obviously they wouldn't sell anywhere near *all* of their treasury debt, but if they sold even a few billion USD, that would shock the market pretty hard. For the curious about scale: * Japan's various governmental entities hold a net of approximately $1.117T in treasuries, leading the globe. * The UK is the next-largest holder with \~$940B. * China has a distant third place with \~$633B, and then nobody else holds more than $500B. * With US debt at \~$40T now, that means that Japan holds almost exactly 2.75% of total US debt, and 11.8% of foreign-held US debt (total of $9.3T). The large majority of the US treasury debt is held by insurance firms and pension funds in the US (not to mention the $2.3T in the Social Security primary fund) for reserves, which has upsides and downsides for the US: * On the upside, this creates a much deeper pool of interest in treasuries than the actually active investment market. It's functionally an extra sink for borrowing. * The downside is that the market for treasuries actually *acts* like it's much smaller than you'd expect from the total size of outstanding US debt, since so much of that debt is more or less "out of circulation" relative to the liquidity market. This means that, if Japan *did* unload their debt at scale, it could very easily spook a lot of other foreign holders into doing something similar, while domestic holders wouldn't see much change, since they primarily hold those treasuries as a ballast. The downside to *that* upside, is that there would be drastically reduced interest in US debt from the metaphorical sink going forward, so that becomes a secondary effect driving future borrowing costs up for the US.

Distinct_Ordinary_71

What you see on Reddit skews towards higher earning, younger and maler than the average American. For younger people the comparison is harder: - pitfalls of the US are less apparent - benefits of many EU countries are not yet apparent For example I have paid childcare costs in California, the UK and Norway. In Norway it was 0Kr/mo. The US and UK costs would have covered a second mortgage. I've also paid health insurance as a single healthy male and as a father of two. The monthly healthcare for my family (with no issues) was more than the mortgage on a London apartment combined with my UK tax bill. Losing a job in the US is far more impactful - not really any severance pay, no real Fed loss of healthcare etc. Benefits even in generous California are low by comparion. Losing a job in Germany and fed covered 2/3rds pay for a year.

Aureliamnissan

Honestly I much prefer the instant election system places like the UK have because here we constantly see the GOP implement policies that will self destruct in 2 or 4 years for when they lose the following election. That then becomes “the democrats’ fault”. That’s at least part of why this cycle is such a shit show. Policies that they championed which were supposed to run out at the end of trumps second term came up right in the beginning. But they can’t be seen to vote down their own policies so they are just refusing to acknowledge any negative consequences of their own policies. For instance the deficit is at record highs and they control basically every lever of government.

https://ec.europa.eu/economy\_finance/graphs/2014-10-06\_poland\_success\_story\_en.htm Polands had consistent growth despite not taking migrants. Why is the UK not doing well economically when we’ve taken in millions of migrants in the last 15 years? I thought migrants and diversity were vital to economic growth and societal well-being. Why are we in a cost of living crisis? Maybe we don’t have enough migrants? Maybe we need to replace the entire population with migrants and then we’ll be successful

> Poland’s GDP growth is 18%, while the UK is 1% Last year I bought a house, went from having only a car (worth £20k) to now having a house AND a car (worth £290k in total). That is a 1450% increase in assets, so my family is WELL over even the richest countries' asset increase. Hell, the rate of my increase in assets (on a selected timeframe) eclipses even Musk's rate of getting richer.

Sounds like Poland has it figured out, they receive twice as much as they pay in. Talk about a good investment, now they’re one of the fastest growing economies in Europe. Let’s take a look at the UK, who has taken in enormous numbers of migrants.. they’re doing terribly. Poland’s GDP growth is 18%, while the UK is 1%.

I think the advent of TikTok made emerging brands catch fire much more effectively. A pretty girl in Alo doing a gym workout or an absolute athlete running in a set of Hoka’s can get millions of interactions. Short form video content has pollinated a whole new ecosystem of sports fashion. Ultimately, Nike & Adidas to a lesser extent, serve too many masters. Committed athletes have Brooks, Hoka, Saucony, as emerging/growing brands. Hot girls have Alo, Lululemon, New balance, etc. And to be quite frank and UK centric, chavs don’t sell anymore. The days of a JD Christmas advert with a bunch of kids/teens dressed in Nike tracksuits are long gone… sports fashion trends are a lot more, for want of a better phrase, hot daughter of a millionaire on holiday in Cannes, than Dorito stained great Nike sweatpants & a pair or Air max 90’s. Nike will have a resurgence, they may have some lean decades, where 2010’s items have a renaissance as vintage & eventually become a catalyst for a bit of a resurgence.

So let me get this straight, there are hedge funds (UK & US) financed by banks that are leveraged up to 50x on US Treasuries through the repo market (i.e., MMFs). All of this equates to trillions of dollars of leveraged positions because countries have been dumping their US treasuries for years now and, as everyone knows, everything hedge funds touch are leveraged. Oh.

**1. Perceptron hype (late 1950s–60s)** — Early neural net excitement collapsed after Minsky & Papert’s *Perceptrons* (1969) exposed its limits. **2. First AI Winter (1974–1980)** — Overpromised machine translation and general problem-solving led to funding cuts (Lighthill Report in the UK). **3. Expert Systems boom (early–mid 1980s)** — Companies like Symbolics sold specialized “AI workstations”; the market crashed by 1987. **4. Second AI Winter (late 1980s–90s)** — Expert systems proved brittle and expensive to maintain. **5. Japan’s Fifth Generation Computer Project (1982–1992)** — Massive government bet on logic programming/AI that fizzled. **6. Connectionism/Neural net revival hype (late 1980s)** — Backpropagation excitement outpaced practical results given hardware limits. **7. Dot-com era “AI” branding (late 1990s)** — Many startups slapped “AI” on basic automation to ride internet investment mania. **8. Big Data/Deep Learning hype (2012–2015)** — Post-AlexNet enthusiasm led to inflated startup valuations and “AI-washing.” **9. Self-driving car hype (2015–2019)** — Promises of fully autonomous vehicles “within years” from most major automakers/tech firms didn’t pan out on schedule. **10. Generative AI/LLM boom (2022–present)** — Massive valuations (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and enterprise spending have prompted ongoing debate about whether this is a bubble, given uncertain near-term ROI for many deployments. *brought to you by AI*

The faster growing south and east are very small. The old guards GDP is barely growing, their militaries are barely top 10. So, maybe if France, UK, Italy combined their countries they’d have a chance. I get US is broke. But still difficult to imagine a world where US isn’t #1.
