HSBC
HSBC Holdings PLC
stock NYSE ADR

I tried convincing my dad that his £100k in HSBC stock was pointless compared to what he could get in SPY.
Refused to move it over. Now struggling to sell it quickly enough because of capital gains. Another problem I told him about.
They’ll be late 80s by the time they get all that cash out without paying tax in the U.K.

Silver and gold are both heavily influenced by paper trading. Which keeps them lower than they should be.
• CFTC has been notoriously slow or ineffective in prosecuting manipulation.
• JPMorgan was fined $920 million in 2020 for manipulating gold and silver futures via spoofing, after over a decade of complaints from traders and analysts.
Transparency of physical holdings – SLV and GLD claim to be backed by physical metal, but retail holders have no direct claim.
Custodians like JPMorgan or HSBC hold the metal, and there’s little independent audit access for public scrutiny.
If you can’t touch it, you don’t own it.
If you can’t see it, it’s not real.
End paper trading and you will see the real value of gold and silver.

Opted for the HSBC FYSE All world index acc fund. Much cheaper than the vanguard one

HSBC also has a monthly rolling £10K limit on crypto spending, also approving those within the £10K limit is a real pain. They flag all crypto transactions as fraud and you have to phone them for an hour to get it unblocked. No limits on receiving though.

5k of what? Shares? Thats not even a Yolo but a sound investment into your financial future. With Intel about to collapse AMD has the position to become what Intel was in 2013. If you want to risk something buy 5k options. If you are European 5k of HSBC turbo certificates. The door is now wide open for an absolute AMD dominance in the whole CPU space!

AMD is prob one of the best plays in the market today, it was absolutely the best play in the market when it traded 100-140. At the same time though, the HSBC analyst laid out the thesis better than you did.

My friend, HSBC is limiting how much you can transfer to exchanges. [link to HSBC](https://www.hsbc.co.uk/help/security-centre/cryptocurrency/)
Payments – £2,500 for a single transaction and a total of £10,000 in any rolling 30-day period.
Debit cards – £2,500 for a single transaction and a total of £10,000 in any rolling 30-day period.

HSBC and Monzo are the way forward. HSBC recently backed out of the net zero nonsense. They like making money

HSBC UAE to IBKR credits to usually within 2-3 hours.

Seconded for PHYS, prefer the the Sprott funds over HSBC or whoever does GLD.
I have a question about FBTC - I have a Roth and would like to allocate some bitcoin there. The Greyscale ETF is not allowed, not sure why, haven't looked into it. Do you think FBTC is purchasable in a Roth?
