@xprotonmike Good one !

#gkp on fire. Important to add metaphorically.

@SamaHoole Genuine question : doesn't the high fat diet lead to gallbladder issues

In your twenties, you can eat whatever you like. Pizza at midnight. A diet held together by caffeine, bread, and the occasional vegetable. You feel mostly fine. A bit tired sometimes. A bit bloated sometimes. You attribute both to other things. This is not because the food isn't causing damage. It's because the mitochondria, the cellular power stations that process everything you eat, are young, numerous, and capable of absorbing a considerable amount of punishment while still producing enough energy to run the body. In your thirties, the margin narrows. The recovery after a bad weekend is slightly longer. The afternoon slump has taken on a reliability it didn't have before. The bloating isn't quite as occasional. In your forties, the bill arrives properly. The mitochondria have accumulated damage. The metabolic reserve that was covering for the junk has been drawn down. Symptoms that were intermittent become persistent. Diagnoses follow. This is why the benefits of carnivore become more profound the older you are. Not because older people are more suggestible. Because the intervention is meeting a system that has been more comprehensively damaged and has more repair to do. The recovery is slower. The change is more dramatic. The twenties version of you didn't notice what the food was doing. The forties version will notice when it stops.

@TopTradersADVFN @Butterheart886 @robprogressive @antmiddleton How is the education system In Thailand. Would love to do similar but have 2 young kids

Thanks Ben. Yes it’s certainly a beautiful country with the Thai people to match both inside and out. Weather is great, it’s got stunning locations & beaches everywhere, it’s cheap to live and there is minimal crime and disorder despite some local people being quite poor but still remain happy and upbeat. One thing that really stands out is how little you get ripped off here compared to the UK. Albeit fuel prices have risen slightly here too due to the war with Iran, it’s still only 77p to 84p a litre for petrol and diesel. You don’t pay for parking cars or scooters apart from maybe some places in Bangkok but even there I’m yet to find where they are that charge. You can get internal flights within Thailand for £20 to £30. If you smoke (And yes I appreciate I shouldn’t) but it’s £1.60p a packet and not £17 a packet like the UK. The only thing I’ve found more expensive than the UK is shaving gel and deodorant but it’s a small price to pay to live in paradise and wake up every day to 30+ degrees even when it rains in rainy season. I can thoroughly recommend moving here to anyone who is in a position to do so and you will most certainly have a better life than in the UK. If anyone wants to try it and see then take a holiday here and find out for yourselves and you will fall in love with the place and the people like everyone who comes here. I consider myself very lucky I can live here and and with the correct visa which I pay for and private health insurance I pay for, that I can live here legally and not be a burden on the Thai people or economy and support myself entirely. I know Dubai is considered the place to be now but unless you are super wealthy it’s very expensive to live there and very expensive for everything so you need to be a multi millionaire to take advantage of Dubai or have a good job there that includes benefits such as accommodation etc. Thailand you don’t need to be wealthy really and just need to prove you can support yourself and not put pressure on their health system by taking out private medical insurance and just be self sufficient. It’s the best decision I’ve made and whilst I miss my family back home in the UK, I have to say I don’t miss the UK one bit except family like I say but they visit me here and I visit them occasionally but costs a fortune just coming back to the UK for 2 to 3 weeks even. 🇹🇭 🌞 🏖️ 🏝️

I’m now Ashamed to be British The U.K is now the second most depressing country in the world (official) Highest rape city in Europe One of the highest taxed nations in the world £100 now feels like a tenner Labour bringing Communism to the U.K. People are going to jail for social media posts The BBC is broken Our energy prices are a joke Nearly 40% inflation in 5 years No one can afford a house The Royal family is over since the Queen died The NHS is broken We don’t manufacture anything anymore Nicking anything under £200 is not a crime You get your watches & phones stolen in London Our food is shit We’re lazy AF We’re grumpy AF including me We now put cheese & mayonnaise in security boxes in the supermarket Everyone’s f*cking off to Dubai We need to take our power back & put the GREAT back into GREAT Britain & the UNITED back into the UNITED Kingdom We need to Produce. Work. Build. Innovate. And get Labour OUT

@Eileen_0517 Wow where is this

Butter and fruit flavor

@StocksEddie I had approx the same benchmarks It snowballs quick Now 41 with 1.6m

Be honest with me. I’m 23 with £22k invested with a goal to reach £50k invested by 25 and 100k by 28. For a primarily ETF investor, are these goals achievable? Or am I too far behind?

@Trader__007 What about net debt ?

DGE ridiculously oversold. It's total madness. The business is churning out £3bn in FCF & has a portfolio of global brands to die for. Added significantly to my position at 1432p moving to 45k shares. It's now a takeover target IMO

@xprotonmike What's happened with the banks ? Excuse my ignorance

Dow 🚀. That massive ftse trade I'm underwater in looks good for tomorrow. Barclays and other banks going to go nuts tomorrow

@Trader__007 You can also do this whilst 'wfh' - no need to pack in the day job ?

Gym done & sitting outside the club & weather wonderful. Days like this are for enjoying. Quit the office job & learn to trade for a living ! Money buys freedom.

@EdLatimore @LtCrandog Did you loose a lot of muscle? As a 70kg male with 10% bf I just want to cut a little but retain my muscle.

@LtCrandog Haha gotta get my proteim by more than shakes and eggs lol.

I've been on retatrutide for the past 3 weeks. Started a 2 mg/week. Dose this week was 4mg. I got interested after learning it impacts glucagon signalling. Here is a list of my *personal* experiences so far, as a guy who is reasonably lean and in good shape: -I used to eat a Dave's Double from Wendy's almost every day. Now they disgust me. -Can't chew nicotine gum at all. I tried, and it tasted awful. I tried again, and it made me nauseous. -I used to drink a Celsius a day. Haven't had a one. I tried when I first started and I just forgot it was there. -You can EASILY forget to eat all day on this stuff. But within 20 hours of my last meal, I start to get a "little" hungry. -I have lost about 6 lbs, and that is on just a bodyweight training routine for my mobility/flexibility and some light running.

@Jeff_T @AntiDoc Did you loose substantial mass/muscle on reta as well ? Want to try for it's fat torching properties but as I'm already c10% bf don't want to loose Size

@AntiDoc 52 years in the iron game and 4 decades experimenting with hormones, peptides, and every compound that promised the fountain of youth. Retatrutide stands alone. It's the best compound I’ve ever run, not even a close second.

Retatrutide kidnapped and tortured my dog

@SamaHoole Any issues with gall stones on a mainly beef diet Sama ?

"Make sure you buy grass-fed beef!" Mate. We're in the UK. All our cattle are grass-fed. That's just how we farm here. They're on pasture most of the year. Finished on grass silage and forage. That's standard. "But the supermarket beef..." Still grass-fed. Still from British farms. Still meets Red Tractor standards. You don't need to hunt down a special label. You don't need to pay £30/kg at a farmer's market. The £6/kg mince from Tesco is from a grass-fed cow. From a British farm. Probably a family farm in Wales or Scotland. "But factory farms..." We don't really do factory beef farms here. Too wet. Too expensive. Cattle are on grass because grass is what grows. You're applying foreign problems to British beef. Different system entirely.

@alexaaronlab Thanks bro. Cognition , skin and metabolic health would be ideal. Would low dose reta help ? After something that I can run year round alongside my test, rather than cycle on and off

@alexaaronlab Hi Alex appreciate your posts. What would you recommend for a 40yr old male 5,7 and 70kg. I'm on test eth 250mg a week.

@Markos_mom You really are a moron if you think partners are on 150k. Senior managers clear that. There are then at least 2 levels after that for partnership.

LOL. They're both salaried partners. Likely on £150-200k a year. Nothing mind-blowing. The £1m/year per partner is massively distorted. Some will be on far more, some on far less. Also consider the average Deloitte partner is expected to maintain a £5m book of business minimum. It ain't an easy life. Unless you're an equity partner at Deloitte, pay is pretty mediocre.

@creatine_queen @sighyam What about duasteride. And you could counteract the mental health issues with SSRIs ?

@sighyam its the mental health problems that comes with finasteride

Is it that hard for men to start finasteride and minoxidil?? Every man who actually cares about keeping his hair should also put some savings aside for a hair transplant. I’m surprised hair maintenance (hair loss prevention treatments) isn’t a huge, accessible industry in Western countries, considering the pervasiveness of male pattern baldness and the insecurity around it. Some Asian cities are already making hair care services more accessible btw. Western countries might catch up eventually and men in the future will probably look back at this era wondering why hair loss prevention was treated like a niche luxury instead of basic maintenance.

@Trader__007 Wow. What's your average price out of interest

For the record DGE will do the same over time. Hence I've loaded up with 38k shares. Think 2-5 years not 2-5 days.

@RidyardMike I would suggest most people not bank on the state pension and view it as a bonus.

I can’t see many people being able to manage in retirement without the State Pension. To secure an inflation-linked annuity paying a similar income, you’d need a pension pot of roughly £240,000. That figure is well above the UK median pension pot.💷

@Lords_Victory Sold on the RNS at 60p sadly

Lovely breakout from #EUA and #FXPO. Some serious money being dropped in.

@JamesP728 Does this include your pension portfolio?

Back to green It’s never a dull day in the market with Trump around 😂 My portfolio went up 0.1% (£306.70) 🟢 Current balance: £201,396.48 How did everyone else do today?

@Camp4 I often find I have nothing to say. However I think the problem is more me

Great framing. 99% of marriage is mundane day-to-day minutiae. Hot sex, exotic vacations, and grand gestures are great, but they’re transitory — not what sustains a relationship. In marriage (and in life), the sublime is found in the mundane. 👉Optimize for the ordinary.
