A lot of companies on the LSE are also owned by multinationals, hedge funds etc. The UK is a zombie country with barely any capacity of its own for economic growth. Capacity for growth outside of financial services has been gutted over the past 40 years.

In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government. This includes exploring opportunities in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the challenging economic situation, it remains a favorable time to consider these investments.

The pathway to substantial returns doesn't solely rely on stocks with significant movements. Instead, it revolves around effectively managing risk relative to reward. By appropriately sizing your positions and capitalizing on your advantage repeatedly, you can progressively work towards achieving your financial goals. This principle applies across various investment approaches, whether it be long-term investing or day trading.

Because PMs have far less affect on markets than the likes of inflation and interest rates, which are driven by the US FED, which affects the whole World. The fact that people don't understand just how influential and important the US FED's decisions are is a highlighted failure of the education system in the UK. A 1 hour read on Central Banking, or hell even a search on KZbin, would gain you a far better understanding of WHY we have inflation, WHY we have high interest rates, WHY our economy suffers as a result,.

Shares have soared 166% in the year to date and are up more than 200% from this time a year ago". That's INSANE and hardly and makes the US market hardly a great comparison.

The LSE is supposed to be a global financial powerhouse. Quite patently, it isn't, and that's a problem for a country that markets itself as a global leader and left a huge market because it thought it could do better outside of it due to apparently being a global financial powerhouse.

[@thetroyzernator]

@paraponon The British economy hasn't been globally significant since WW2. So the LSE (and the city as a whole) could only ever retain their global significance by being international. And so as finance has gotten more international, it initially worked to their favour as they become a hub for European finance. But now the internationalisation of finance is working against it because now all of the money is flowing to the states.

In a world organized in blocs you need leverage. The UK on its own has no leverage. The narrative of the last century where the UK benefitted from its tax havens and tax rules but still being part of a bloc, no longer applies. Blocs will not use London anymore. They do not want to keep their financial affairs outside their own borders. Whoever thinks that the attractiveness of the City outside the EU is the same as before inside the EU, does not understand the new world. And yes Brexit is an important reason the UK is losing despite the unicorns Hunt is trying to sell here.

Pretty much everyone in the class apart from myself and two other people struggled so much, the module was eventually dropped from the course. The lecturer who was Polish later told me this was stuff every polish high school student could do in their sleep. Ok so linear algebra may not be basic math, but my point is, that in many other countries this stuff is seen as basic…..having a country were large sections of the population cannot even work out percentages, volume, area, division etc should be seen as a national scandal.

[@lesdickson9765]

This is a bit of a long comment but there’s some nuance which I think is important. Our (London) stock market is what is widely perceived to be a dinosaur equity market that’s overly reliant on old economy sectors such as oil and banks which leads to my next point. On lack of exciting companies listing - we're risk-averse as a country, and the doesn't bode well for startups specialising in things like AI (the new hot topic) and quantum computing, whose large capital expenditures require years of patience. A key accelerant in the move of some listings to the US is a lack of liquidity in the UK, understandably so, if UK plc's can fetch higher valuations and a larger investor base whilst US listing rules aren’t extremely tight, why wouldn't they move? An example of this was Arm Holdings choosing Nasdaq over the LSE in 2023, this isn’t to say that breaking into the US will be easy, even though Arm have been successful in doing so. I remember reading a report on Bloomberg talking about how the UK tech struggle to keep up with Bay Area/Silicon Valley tech in terms of funding. Funding for startups (companies valued at no more than $15m - 91% funded, $4.1bn for UK vs $4.5bn), but the moment UK companies reach scaleup status (valuations of $15m-100m), we raise $7.1bn vs $13.9bn for Bay Area which is 51%, and it gets even harder when tech companies in the UK reach breakout status (>$100m valuation) as we raise $7.8bn vs $35.2bn in the Bay Area which is 22% of funds raised in comparison to SV. Also, in the early 2000s, the UK government introduced new rules forcing retirement fund managers to be more open about their investments and about how they planned to meet future pension obligations. One result was a shift out of riskier equities - the pension industry’s preferred investment until that point - and into safer government bonds. The trend was reinforced over the following decade as millions of workers holding so-called defined-benefit pension plans retired. Pension managers doubled down on government debt at the expense of shares so they could better match their long-term liabilities to those retirees. What’s more, what little equity allocation the funds retained was put increasingly into stocks in other markets as they tried to diversify their holdings. UK pension funds held 1.6% of UK-listed stocks in 2022, down from about 32% in 1992, according to data from the Office for National Statistics. Edit: thanks to depressed valuations, London’s allure as a center for IPO activity has been diluted by a glut of alternative funding from private equity. That’s been compounded by some woeful stock performances in the wake of high-profile listings, including Deliveroo Plc, Dr Martens Plc and Ithaca Energy Plc. Meanwhile, headlines around companies leaving London for other exchanges have hurt the City’s image as a place to do IPOs. I've heard Shein want to IPO in London for around $64bn, but imo I don't think it'll revive London's capital markets the way people think it would, the company has controversial ethical + sustainability practices, as well as possible IP theft and moreover, they chose London as they couldn't file for an IPO because of hurdles to the listing in the US which is tied to the earlier point about their shady practices. We're basically 2nd choice if firms applications for US based IPO's (NYSE or Nasdaq) get rejected.

Ultimately, in the case of the UK, at least, it's a mentality thing. The average Brit is not a risk taker. The culture is also overly critical of failure. Also, beyond outside of London, most Brits are largely broke, and this affects their relationship with money. One of the interviewees caught it when she said if the British government sent covid checks, most Brits would never use it to purchase stocks. That was apt. Until the British mentality changes, nothing will change. You must also understand the cultural impact of the Brits coming from a feudal system as opposed to the more egalitarian/entrepreneurial system that birthed America. Over time, these qualities are passed on through genetics. We are seeing it play out in the outcomes.

As a former part time trader in Brazil and having traded on the LSE I can confirm that the brokers in the UK suck. Their platforms, execution time, customer service, fees are rubbish. They basically force you to trade US stocks using american brokers. Even comparing to a development country like Brazil which has a much more developed stock market particularly for small investors like me...

[@zenastronomy]

how do you invest in brasil as a small investor? I've been trying. but as you said, stuck with using British brokers who use American banks who refuse access to brics exchanges. which i suspect is deliberate

[@AShiga]

@@zenastronomy I am Brazilian and traded whilst still being a tax resident. Since I'm now a UK resident I no longer trade there. However I do know that Brazilian brokers only accept high net worth foreigners provided they indicate a legal representative in that country. The reason for that - to summarise - is excessive bureaucracy and the local brokers being heavily accountable for any wrongdoing such as money laundering from the client. What I can suggest is to trade Brazilian shares via ADR or OTC shares in the US. You can have access to around 50+ Brazilian stocks. I do even have access to many of them via my share dealing ISA. The downside is you can't trade derivatives nor fixed-income.

[@AShiga]

@@zenastronomy not sure why but my previous reply to you got deleted... So I'll give you a shorter answer: I'm no longer a tax resident in Brazil so not trading on Bovespa anymore. The only way I think you can do is to trade ADRs and OTC shares via US exchanges and you likely can do that with your current broker. There are at least 50 Brazilian shares you can trade like that.

[@zenastronomy]

@@AShiga any companies you invested in, you can recommend i do research on?

[@AShiga]

@@zenastronomy Having traded Brazilian stocks for 13 years in the past (2006-2019), I wouldn't recommend investing in that market for the long term. If you are a daytrader, there's always good money to be made as that market is so volatile... It is also too sensitive to government changes and regulations change far too frequently. Terrible for businnesses. The one investment I think there's always money to be made is in government bonds. Alternatively I think there's so much more potential in Argentinian stocks right now than in Brazil.

I think there is a broader issue here, that centres around the overall sentiment of the UK's future. Productivity is low, we have a younger generations bowing out and going NEET, social instability, political instability as demonstrated by Brexit, etc. We have no clear direction on what we are trying to do. The major VCs in EU, for example, don't pay much attention to the UK. And if the governments force Pensions to invest in UK in order to prop up the markets, this could risk loading the average person with lower returning assets than if they invested globally.

[@erertertert44]

It's the same in Europe, I think its a europe/old world problem. Look at France, Italy, Spain even Germany.

[@alexmckee4683]

@@erertertert44 yes that's true. I think the UK does have a particular problem though we seem to have the worst of both worlds. UK companies like to cosplay as American corps (hours worked, for example, have been steadily rising) while our outcomes are more like those in Italy. German companies have a social democratic outlook with lots of investment in apprenticeships and training of younger people while in the UK apprentices and interns are seen as cheap labour, barely trained and their output is hardly monitored (except in trades). Italy and Germany still have a lot of small and medium manufacturing companies while the UK has some of those in specialist technical fields but large areas of the country have nothing but retail e.g. LSE: WIX, LSE: TPK. Much of the UK is astonishingly unproductive for a developed economy. Foreign investors who've bought UK firms have struggled because they've underestimated the difficulties of running e.g. a UK retail chain with the levels of waste and the sluggish performance that has become typical in the UK.

It's telling that UK pensions funds invest less in UK equities points to a systemic problem and a divergent view on value. Forcing greater risk taking and domestic bias undermines the fiduciary duties to maximise returns that pensioners could draw down at a time where risky investment destinations and money-burning tech startups are floundering. The UK should improve productivity, given the loss of EU manpower resources to mitigate this given Brexit

[@paulgilliland2992]

Excellent story. Don’t be led along by the USA 401k plan . It’s not at every company and not everyone is participating in it.

I do think there needs to be a change in culture. I’m someone who is interested and likes investing, but when I try to talk to people about it they either have no interest or think it’s gambling. Whereas, when I lived in the US there was more understanding of financial markets and more interest in investing. This is why our growth has been terrible because people don’t have the same risk appetite compared to US investors.

[@tomlafferty4393]

For dividend investors LSE is great. If you're buying decent, profitable companies at a good price in relation to earnings, and that company pays generous dividends, it doesn't really matter too much if there is some turbulence in the market. The dividends you are getting back still beat any returns you will get on your bonds. This is why I don't understand the UK pension funds' risk aversion in the case of buying bonds, when the equity investments they do make are reliant on growth of US businesses that don't pay dividends and are more exposed to investor sentiment.

[@mitsterful]

This is deeply depressing. Something akin to the dividends paid from our water companies? When that money should be reinvested? You've just said the quiet part out loud. You're not supposed to do that.

[@tomlafferty4393]

@mitsterful well yes, reinvesting for growth can be more profitable. And the water companies is a great example of this, where there are huge savings and efficiencies to be made by reinvestment. I guess LSE investors are too shaken to rely on growth alone 🤷‍♂️

[@Dionn91]

That's exactly the difference between the US and the UK, the UK only cares about a short-term profit of high dividend yield rather than reinvesting the money into the business.

[@tomlafferty4393]

@@Dionn91 It is a bit of a sweeping statement. In UK there are some very old companies that are happy to grow organically and return profits to investors. This is a pretty safe model and generates higher returns than gilts. Reinvestment can be used to shore up the business, which is great, but can sometimes be used irresponsibly leading to unsustainable growth and higher risk. It very much depends on the business.

[@Basement_stories]

Dude you're just wasting time trying to explain it. Even if you open some 'value investing' sub on sites like reddit 95% of talk is about some price fluctuations on Nvidia, Meta, google at best or some scamcompanies issuing shares like crazy (lately "AI" is the new shining obect to chase) etc. In the end it doesn't matter what you buy, but for how much you buy it in comparison to future cashflows so historically speaking markets with bad sentiment generate best return long term. At the moment UK is great value, same as China and Turkey. People forget how SP500 often stays flat for decades, laugh at bubbles like nifty 50, while creaming their pants how 'great' magnificent seven is for the market. The more things change the more they stay the same.
