How does wanting the rules to be applied consistently for all aligns to being called a coward? If you have balls and don't act like a little girl who calls daddy to intervene, you could just have accepted the rules of the game as a big boy and challenged us with your integrity intact. I see other americans calling Belgium out for not wanting to compete with the best team - stupid irrelevant

Sjees, are you also so biased in your equity research? You get a red card during a world cup - you don't play the next match - is it so difficult? Ngoy got a red card, he had to miss the next game. England had a red card yesterday, he will miss the next game. But rules are clearly not the same for everyone. You clearly don't agree, that is fine, but biased. You're just ignoring or twisting facts to make your argument valid. This should clearly be it, because I assume level of intellectual knowledge should be fine on this fora (in contrary to social media in generale - also only reason why I want to dedicated two post to it). Now I shut up, hope I can watch an unrigged game of football and celebrate in the end.

Correct - Reddit and other social media is suddenly full of American soccer experts. I don't mind Americans increasing their interest in "soccer" but ffs please show some humility. Enjoy, learn and don't start to think that everything is about you. Let's just hope it's over after today so we can start the real talk

It's just funny how every American seems to think this decision is normal or fair. It's never happened before — but for the US, in the US, suddenly it does. And apparently that's not strange at all... ffs. But who cares, easy game for Belgium.

Don't want to turn this into an intellectual battle of ego's - I don't root for 80 hour work weeks, I'm just saying we could definitely return more ownership towards the people. My opinion is that we shouldn't take current government support for granted and I'm having a more positive image of the US in 25 years compared to EU. For EU I see more risks and less opportunities vs. US.

Makes you wonder how long that can last, though. As a fellow Belgian, you'll know we're not exactly in the strongest fiscal position — borrowing to keep all those commitments going, with growth that hasn't really kept pace. At some point, something's got to give. That's actually my main motivation for investing and building wealth in the first place — to be able to retire on my own terms, independent of whatever the government can or can't deliver by then. And to have a nest egg for the children to start with, because I have the idea that the social/economic mobility will be a lot more difficult in the AI future. And honestly, I think the EU needs to move closer to the US model. Incentives are better aligned. When people have a bit more skin in the game, they tend to push harder — I think we've gotten a little too comfortable here.

I believe it would be in EU interest to go out and try to open the strait. I don't have an opinion on the war, but would love to see that EU leaders finally would start acting in our best interest. I'm also aligned with our prime minister, Bart De Wever, that we should try to reach a deal with Russia. Just do the smart thing, instead of the (political) correct one. We need cheap energy to be able to compete vs. rest of the world - not a favourable position, but it's gravity so better find a way to cope with it.

What is the rational to buy the rights offering iso common shares?

I get completely different valuation ratios via TIKR. However ROE, cash balance (50% of equity), 4% dividend yield, and 10Y revenue CAGR seem a nice combo, that in combination with my idea that motorcycles will remain popular in future and new use cases like e-bike, e-steps, etc will require helmets. - I added it to my Japanse basket. Looking to sales you see that they are dropping from their peak with YoY decline of 15% in EU & China and 30% in Japan (excess supply), while increasing in North America. Currency risk also for their revenues. Nevertheless I still reach a fair ROE after accounting for normalized earning (so far possible) and considering they will distribute their excessive cash in future.

No taxes in BE for gains on a house. But you definitely right, I neglected the appreciation, I myself don't count on 4% gain on RE but still would result in difference of 350kEUR.
