    The stock doesn’t fit out criteria and moving 100% in a day doesn’t make it attractive. Odds are it will fade over the coming weeks. It’s very small, no track record, loses money and will be extremely volatile. And to add something you have to make a call on what to sell. That’s not to say it can’t go higher.

    Morning, Air time is driven by: Weight or our position vs the market position. We were contrarians with SMCI (still are). SMCI drives a lot of opinion! The significance of the company vs the sector Companies driving change/innovation (driving news) My personal interests-and what I think others find interesting-esoteric sectors Cobens has 20k clients and we managed 3X more assets than IM before the rescue I appreciate that we talk about Tech a lot and a couple of holdings in particular. The fact is Nvidia drives/is a barometer of the wider sector(and the market) and what is good/bad for Nvidia impacts other big names.

    Hi D, Netflix is set to drop its Q1 2025 earnings after the market shuts on 17 April. Analysts expect earnings per share (EPS) will hit $5.74, up 8.7% from $5.28 last year, with revenue expected at $10.54 billion, a 12.5% jump year-on-year. That’s pretty close to Netflix’s own forecast of $10.46 billion in revenue and an operating margin of 28.2%. They’ve got a history of smashing EPS forecasts, beating expectations in all four of the last reported quarters, like Q4 2024 when they pulled off $4.27 against $4.20 expected. That said, it's hard to know but their numbers should be solid. Everyone’s eyeing their ad-supported memberships, which made up 55% of sign-ups in ad markets last quarter, and their content line-up, with several content hits. They won’t disclose subscriber numbers anymore, focusing on revenue and margins instead.

    SK hynix raises its 2025 CAPEX from $15 billion to $19 billion. SK Hynix has decided to increase its planned CAPEX this year by 30% due to the surge in demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM), which was already high. The chipmaker initially planned to spend 22 trillion won this year in expanding its facilities but this has been upped to 29 trillion won, sources said. The decision was recently finalised and SK Hynix has also sent memos to suppliers to deliver the equipment to the M15X fab in Chungju by October, two months faster than initially planned. These moves are all responses from its customers requesting SK Hynix deliver more HBM chips faster. The company’s main customer is Nvidia, which is using HBM with its AI accelerators. The GPU giant is requesting SK Hynix deliver HBM faster than planned. SK Hynix will also be supplying HBMs to Broadcom starting this year. We are reading the room, folks. Demand is off the hook and I would speculate, supply is also improving. Whilst the market is distracted by and shunning everything due to tariffs speculation, these businesses are clearly articulating a shift.

    Thank you Nik. Perhaps you could propose giving the client the option to abandon the small change remaining in funds since it costs the company more to withdraw than the amounts themselves. This would help expedite the process. Frank

    I'd expect significant tinkering with pension allowances and relief rates and some kind of cap on ISAs - possibly a cap on maximum lifetime contributions or a cap on allowed value after which you can't make any more contributions. Too many people have too much money for themselves and large numbers of people are in need of (more) state support, or so our political overlords think. The money therefore needs to be taken from the former and given to the latter.

    @Renmure-Jim said in Remaining ISA allowance bug in the system?: I’ve taken advantage of the flexible ISA a couple of times for significant purchases within a tax year and found the withdrawing and repaying to be pretty simple and intuitive. I'll second this. Most ISA providers don't offer flexible ISA's (my previous ISA provider didn't even know what one was.) This was a major factor in me moving my ISA to IM a few years ago.

    Touche, I would expect the main focus to be 'Jensen Huang sporting a Tom Ford lizard skin effect jacket which retails at £8,000 and recently purchased two new G650 jets which retail at £60M each before options'
