If Europe was just one country, the international sports events would be super boring lol. Olympics gold medals: Europe - 120, USA - 40, China - 40. Ice Hockey Championship: Europe, USA, Canada. etc.

I don't know. Seems quite depressive to me. Most European cities are not very pretty during winter. Nice pictures though.

This can either be a good decision, or a bad decision. There is no absolute answer. I would say that 10-20 years ago, it would probably be a good decision. Right now, I am not so sure. Starting your own online business will be tough right now.

2nd season is getting better. Didn't really like the first 2-3 episodes but it's now catching up again. Have you seen Devs (2020)? Also a very good series with a similar setting.

There is nothing to be worried about. Future generations will probably just inject protein and sugar directly into their veins, so they can spend more time on Facebook lol.

Watching American football is like watching a paint dry. It reminds me little kids chasing each other on the courtyard. I would probably name about 100+ sports that are more fun to watch.

Kingdom Come Deliverance II I don't really play games anymore, but this one goes beyond the gaming industry IMO. What are your favorite games of 2024-25?

Timing the market can make you a lot of money. It's not about sitting on money for decades in fear of a global meltdown, but about being clever. I have timed the gold market and I have also timed some of the stocks recently. There are other factors as well, such as currency exchange rates, if you are living in the EU and buying US stocks, etc. If you have a large sum of money to invest, you need to time the market. ETFs usually have 100+ stocks, but a lot of them are underperformers which makes them volatile. There are stocks that are as stable, if not more stable than most ETFs. You just need to do some research.

Severance 1st season was great. Unfortunately, I find the 2nd season a little too forced and boring.

Yes, AI is the future, but are you 100% sure the S&P won't be replaced by the Chinese stock market, the same way Nikkei was replaced by the S&P 500 in the 1990s?

A 1990s Nikkei like crash and a multi decade bear market is definitely incoming. The only question is when. My guess is that Trump will be pushing the stock market as much as he can because it would be the biggest dishonour for him if it failed during his presidency. You must understand one thing: The stock market is not a representation of an actual economy and it can even be the opposite. After Trump, there might be a socialist government and that's when the S&P is definitely going to crash.

Flimsy or inflated investment = an asset your average shoe-shine boy is pushing while shining your shoes. In case you have no shoe-shine boy (my condolences), just go to your local McDonald's and ask everyone what are they invested in.

Even Switzerland once used to be a poor country where men needed to be mercenaries for their families to survive. Scandinavia was the same. There are lots of Swedish and Norwegian descendants in the US whose ancestors have fled the poverty 100-150 years ago.

What's the difference?

How can I make some money from that little Trump coin? Help.
