That's the most likely and rational solution. Cheers!

No, but I would keep guns in the cabin. My dream as a little kid was to be like the Cartwrights from Bonanza! Huge stone fireplace, horses, a big spread, etc...even a live-in cook named Hop Sing! Cheers!

I've been dealing with pros and cons of having a second home/vacation residence, and I feel like going somewhere a few months a year is optimal (if you can swing it with your work/family obligations), and then just getting a commercial flight and keeping a car in the garage can work out great!

No, I couldn't afford like a Citation. Really nice twin prop...yup. But then I have to learn to fly...that would be scary! The other option, which I'm leaning to, is to just go live somewhere different for a few months out of each year...get it out of my system. On a nice cabin on a huge piece of land...just a nearby town with necessities and medical...etc. Cheers!

The shart of the deal

Yep, the buildings in Europe are a lot nicer, the older ones at least. Modern buildings are often truly ugly. I had a friend who used to say that beauty of a city and landscape really mattered. He took his own life some years ago unfortunately. He wasn’t right about many things, but ive come to realise he was right about beauty and how it makes you feel is important.

America is good about natural spaces. England and Europe are much better on city beautification. I am assuming the very rich and monarchies paid for it all many years ago. Americans think you are crazy if you don’t build something as cheaply as possible unless it’s a private home or private club or something. Then they go and spend 20k every summer to go vacation in Europe. Aesthetics in your living area are very important to mental well being and happiness imo.

Unusual trading in the final half hour today in Baldwin Insurance Group - BWIN Either a short squeeze or someone heard a rumor (I guess it could be both things simultaneously)

You shoot/hunt, Parsad?

I see it the same as March and actually INR rallying over the last month but we must be looking at different charts. I don't expect a strong Rupee but nothing changed today that all of a sudden FX is a consideration it wasn't yesterday

Sorry, not directed at you.

So long story short is that Iran will continue to promise not to develop nuclear weapons?? The ONE THING that matters, Trump couldn't deliver. God damn it's amazing how this US administration royally fucked this up. What a bunch of losers.

I actually just meant buying 100 acres of land 5 hours away and then flying there from Vancouver, but agreed about your take. It's crazy.

Brilliant idea. One thing that really makes cities and towns beautiful are trees and managed green spaces along roads, houses. That’s one thing I notice and really appreciate about some American cities. And it invites in all sorts of wildlife which you don’t really get in the UK in built up area. Ditto. Part of me wants to farm it but as I get older the more I want to buy an area up, and rewild it as a private park. If it wasn’t for my kids I’d have small ponds all over my property. I have one pond and the place is jumping with frogs

I've long been fascinated by rich people who throw their life away in search of money they don't need. Insider trading, theft, etc. I can somewhat understand holding up a bank if you're broke. But this kind of stuff....?

I think I like Comcast too, certainly prefer it to charter. Making bank, just needs to get debt lower. Think risk from new entrants aka Starlink is over rated.

USD/INR cross is on the lows. No bueno. USD is sucking capital out of weaker EM's.

do elaborate

Folks - FX

How wonderful! Are you going to any others?

Could you buy a Cessna and have your cake and eat it too?

That's why he had IOUs at multiple jewelers. It was going to the schools and fountains.
