There was a big breakthrough by De Beers Group that means they can now scale Quantum production using standard semiconductor manufacturing processes.

I really hope my quantum stocks carry on being my best ever buys
I'm just in individual stocks
They should teach this stuff in school. But OFC the government can't allow too many people to be rich.
If I knew about it and how to do it, If have been pumping money in to it since I started working and not even bothered with a pension.

I agree to a certain extent, but there are only so many hours in a school day, and if they are struggling to get basic maths and critical thinking to a decent level then pupils stand no chance investing anyway...
Just look at all the mugs buying meme coins or going all in on single stocks or a very small portfolio of individual stocks etc.

I hope he means he'd split his money between a S&S isa and a SIPP unless he's got a good workplace pension and a good NI track record.
Absolutely smashing it at the moment... I just wish I knew about ETFs and s&s ISAs 20 years ago I'd be fricking rich!!
Yeah. This is so so true.
My parents never knew this stuff. Never taught in school. And in my 20s these apps and this accessibility to them just wasn't there.
Disagree.
Even just knowing about moving pension to high risk. Stocks are better long term than anything else.
I can't actually think what is more important in school than personal finance. I'd argue it is the most important thing you can learn. As it applies to literally everyone.
Sure, you're not going to get advice. But just how this stuff works would make so much difference.

A agree.. My point is learning about 'personal finance' is pointless if you don't have a basic grasp of percentages, compounding and critical thinking etc. It'll all just go straight over thier heads.
This is what should be taught early.
And then further modules in pensions, investing, bonds etc. I'd have loved it. Much better than forcing a language on you if you know you're terrible at languages.
My 1 year has been incredible this year. But most of that is quantum and some other tech stocks.
No, but you also have to say it's better than having it sit in a bog standard bank account.
One simple one that drives me bananas is people thinking because their mortgage principle amount is bigger... It's better to over pay that than save it in a cash savings account if the cash account is higher interest.
You can say "all that matters in the percentage interest.. Place it in the higher one"
But people can't get over the mortgage amount being higher. It's like a mental brick wall. They just won't trust you.

Useless subjets like Religious Education could have been given the boot and we learn this instead. It would tie in very nicely with maths and IT. As well as politics and general world affairs.
The people who can't figure out how to tie their shoelaces can go and do business studdies instead.

Especially at gcse level.
We had to pick history or geography
We had to pick a foreign language
We had to do English literature (language is obviously important)
How are any of those default choices more important than personal finance?
