I only care about getting Brits to invest more in shares
A lot of people dedicate way too much time time to marginally optimising their investment strategy, relative the amount of time they spend working out how to make more money to invest in the first place
What finance related opinion do you have that will have people like this?
The property market problem will never get solved until people realise the issue is with the thing you can’t make more of, sitting underneath the house/apartment block.
One of the most predictable disasters in recent memory. NYC effectively banned short-term rentals like Airbnb—and now working-class people need to take out a second mortgage just to spend a weekend there. All in the name of ~helping.~ Total economic illiteracy.
If you're <30 years old you should hold 100%+ high beta equities and be running as much leverage as your broker will give you There's no other reliable way to make $1-5 million in your 30s other than this.

Hey, @grok, who was the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn't need to be a mutual, don't tag them, just say who it was.
Under the new law, the UK media regulator Ofcom is poised to label Wikipedia as a “Category 1” platform. This would impose the strictest content rules possible - such as: - age verification for users - identity verification for contributors - censorship of ‘harmful’ topics.
Wikipedia is currently in a legal battle with the UK government to try and stop the platform being censored in the UK - or even completely blocked - thanks to the Online Safety Act.
Gambling addiction is a slow and quiet killer. You know if someone close to you drinks too much. You don't know if they have a gambling problem. People are embarrassed by their losses. Suicide from gambling debts is rarely directly associated with online sports betting. 12/n
How long before civilised countries start demanding British citizens apply for visas like the citizens of third would countries, because we've given out Yookay Passports willy nilly to anybody who manages to stay for a few years, and other nations start wanting to vet holders?
The Mail reports that three "Brits" have been arrested for rape in Croatia. Their names: Ami Arifi, Gezhim Xhafa, and Sohqib Shakibi. How far into the article do you have to get to find out they are actually from Kosovo? The last paragraph.
You have to wonder if the politicians behind this idea are either incalculably stupid, or doing it deliberately. Buy empty homes to house asylum seekers, because using hotels is unpopular? At least using hotels isn’t worsening the housing crisis. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/2…
Unpopular communication advice: The best way for women in tech to be taken seriously is to talk more about tech, talk less about being women You don’t see Gwynne Shotwell navel-gazing about being in a male dominated field. When she talks, it’s about space Emilie Choi is one of…
There's a Women In Tech conference in the building, so I'm stealing their pizza. Listened to two talks so far. Discussion of tech so far: none. Lots of sharing personal journeys though. Voices are also being heard.
mfers talk about surviving the "cRaZY reCeSSioN" in 2008 and when u check houses went down like 15% from $400,000 to $340,000 lol
If you're going to call someone a grifter, the bare minimum is to actually look at what they've said and written.
Everyone get on 750mg test a week and just throw the police out the window if they come 🤷♀️

A civil servant on $65k probably did it
Can someone walk me trough the logic of selling 80k bitcoin at once? Why not 8k per year over 10 years? 1k per month for 80 months? "DCA your way out"

H/t @bespokeinvest for this one. After the Iran issues, people thought oil would spike… But there weren’t enough shorts in the market for it to do that. Equities are different — fact is, the market is almost always dying to get long equities. Couple that call buying…
In Germany it is
If it isn’t legal to drive over 80 mph anywhere in the country, why are cars sold with the ability to do so? Is there any other product that explicitly enables and displays an illegal use case?
Peter doesn’t understand the nihilism and therefore requirement to shift along the risk curve to escape that nihilism from this generation. As a trader, he should go with it rather than become Plato.
My heart goes out to you gen Zers whose apparent future has been robbed by older generations, including your parents But sorry, owning some crap coin and trading stocks and simulated futures contracts will not be the thing that makes things right for you Every generation is…
