I think I fall in the category, but I do not get what you mean. Why wouldnt I approve or not individual things on their individual merits, instead of lumping them into some kind of weired group? I am close to 50/50 on Trump, just as was close to 50/50 on Biden or whoever was before:). Same with EU, many great things, but not all and some are just stupid. For the record, I think Trump is wrong on FED/USD, could solve Greenland differently and the initial composition of Board of Peace makes me sick!:(

I try not to speak much about this aloud, but what has happened and still continues to happen in EU with all the energy policy is just insane. I kind of begining to believe the idea, that perhaps all this green stuff is some kind of well thought long term Russian conspiracy against the west:). Also instead of better schools or you name it, we are subsidizing Chinese EVs! And I am kind of shocked of all that indiscriminate greenwashing in education institutions, try to talk to you teenager about all this:)))

So they where first with all this AI (remember, they were about to make Google dance) and pardon my french, but this copilot is such a shit it is not even funny. The only thing you do with it is just try to find how to disable forever. And how about this: https://www.techradar.com/televisions/your-lg-tv-may-get-an-unremovable-microsoft-copilot-app-in-its-next-update-and-yes-users-are-annoyed

Well who knows, but I want to trust WB, that US is still safest place, at least for capital...you have to believe in something:)

Perhaps without some serious concequences...all this is way above my paygrade:(

I do not know about that loss, but it seems that from now he is going to be taken more seriously:))

Sorry to hear this, wish him all the best!

So just offer them at least 100-300K USD per capita (with a posibillity of moving or having a second home in North Florida:)), which would be something like 6-18 B (peanuts for US)? I wonder how that would affect moods on the issue:)

Yea, a while ago I thought about possibility of using it on Tablet, but it seems is not the same, so Excel is basically the only reason I still own a PC:)

Yet a few people I know said they are currently withholding their investments and cited Greenland risk as a reason they expect US market to drop. Dumb me, i kind of thought enlarging the country would only unleash more animal spirits

Curious, how does it help with taxes?

Yes, one more thing to explore. Currenty we do everything through two separate accounts on IBKR, so with my wifes account, I just bought 1 share of ETF, so she would not need even to search for it and one time or so per year I ask here to log into account, to see how it works, or even better, to transfer funds, when this happens. But biger issue would be my account. But I see IBKR alows joint accounts, despite I am not sure such thing whould be even possible in our local institutions (common ownership regime is present, but not joint acounts for securities). In joint accounts case, as far as I understand, each spouse has equal rights and the positions or money could be moved to the either spouse name. I have not decided or done anything about this, other then getting IBKR confirmation on how this would work and would be interested in what other think about this?

Well who am I to tell about this, but I think he made some history here on COBF with his conviction on BAC at the time and by trading its warrants/options:). I just managed to follow him/WB/BB with a mediocre ~10-20 position in common:)
