It blows my mind that, although compound interest appears in GCSE maths, most UK kids still leave school without any real sense of how it grows wealth in the real world.
I’ve set up Junior ISAs for my kids. When they reach the right age we’ll grab lunch once a month, review a few stocks or ETFs, debate the merits and - crucially - they make the final call.
By 18 they’ll understand the compounding game first-hand.
Why isn’t this kind of practical compounding literacy mandatory in every school?
Small gains in early asset allocation dwarf many other life-skills in lifetime-wage terms.
@RachelReevesMP has floated measures to shift more savings from Cash ISAs to Stocks & Shares ISAs, and @MartinSLewis has a solid “starter investments ISA” idea.
Surely giving kids a working knowledge of this simple concept would be the real catalyst.
If U.K. financial or investor professionals / influencers like @MartinSLewis@StevenBartlett@HarryStebbings were up for recording a handful of shorts that could be shown in business / personal finance classes that would surely move the needle… 🤔
@thebitcoyne@karpathy@kuroke01@gallabytes Incentivising folk to ragebait, spread misinfo and use networks of agents to jack up distribution is a beautiful, uncorrupted, organic reality.
No, your point doesn’t still stand. They are actively encouraging investment in assets that compound wealth vs storing uninvested cash in a stocks & shares vehicle. Just delete this nonsensical thread - you made a mistake, didn’t read the information properly, pushed out misinfo, and now you’re trying to bizarrely justify a haphazard take. Delete, move on.
Hey @AndyBurnhamGM please if you're looking at CGT consider not making the UK the worst place to exit a business as an entrepreneur.
Entrepreneurs relief is basically non existent now and CGT changes will massively change the startup investment ecosystem in the UK.
Don't give good founders another reason to move to SF please.
Happy to discuss anytime if you'd like.

@goodhandscap@bl_ag_inc I’ve been in 3 seperate meetings today where leaders of a function have legit been surprised by data / content / recommendations in their own slides (because they just chucked it in Claude 10 mins before the meeting). 🫣 it’s painful to watch.
@omarsar0 That’s really cool man. I look at this image and imagine your 10 yr old just letting hos mind run free. What an incredible future this next generation could have. Limitless.
99% agree. The fundamentals are totally out of whack vs valuation.
But 1% of me thinks… Elon has the meme-trader army, the float is only 4%, and Nasdaq fast-tracked index inclusion.
Forced buyers plus cult demand… it wouldn’t shock me if this stays jacked up for years. Wall Street Bets did it with less
I’m conflicted on this tbh.
Capture strategies usually enrich the incumbent..
This one got the incumbent blacklisted and cost it billions.
At what point do we just go with Occam’s Razor: they actually believe it?
About 8 months ago, I warned that “Anthropic is running a sophisticated regulatory capture strategy based on fear-mongering.” This take was controversial at the time; now look how many people are saying it.
