Greg [ @Gregmal ], If this is your only take on @73 Redss reply to my question above, you may really here have placed yourself in a certain political booth here. Personally, I'm still chewing on @73 Redss reply to my question, trying to to take it in, to grasp it, to understand.

@no_free_lunch, What do you mean with 'we' in your last line above?

The more I think about it, the closer I've come to the conclusion, that Chief Economist Torsten Sløk [<- Danish], Apollo Global Management, has forgotten important parts of the Mar-A-Lago Accords in his deck presented by me in this topic, 6th post in this topic, date March 15th 2025, here the missing parts presented in bullets : #TRUMP crypto currency new legal tender for redeeming US T-bills. []

Thank you for the compliment, Charlie [ @dealraker ].

Charlie [ @dealraker ] and @73 Reds, and all, Related alone to the discussion in this topic today : Where are the adults [grown-ups] in the room? I mean, where are the spokesmen, public representatives [CEOs, chairpersons, whatever] representing the large, international [global] and successful American businesses in all this havoc? [I just checked it up, i.e. Jamie Dimons JPM shareholder letter was last year released on 8th April 2024.]

Global News [March 28th 2025] : Vance tells Greenland US has "no other option" as China, Russia pose risk to Arctic security | FULL. Well, no rotten eggs and tomatoes in the air at Pituffik Space Base, in stead a solid lunch at arrival, likely pizza, burgers and fries, to get enough KJoules to stay warm. Here, at least Joe Biden isen't blamed, the Danes are blamed, all while also USA has been cashing in the peace dividend. What US VP is saying here is really nonsense, because what he wants, he already has. Instagram - Lars Løkke Rasmussen [March 28th 2025] : Message to the americans, DR - dr.dk - Abroad [March 29th 2025] : Here are the details of the defense agreement between Greenland, Denmark and the US that JD Vance has not read. In short, it's all political deranged spin and *BS*, caused alone by POTUS' personal imperial aspirations : 'We need it, and I think we will get it, ... one way or another', - combined with ring kissing.

@Hsmpanl, I'll likely monday try to pick up more at lower prices the same way.

A bit more JOE today, my orders in the market got filled.

Great to have you back posting here on CofB&F, Carl @Cigarbutt, even in this topic, Thank you for the leads to books you personally consider relevant. It's much appreciated for my part. I'm going to grab [buy] them, shortly.

Appeal is key! - -And it's also individual ... - Imagine a world where every person of a certain gender was attracted to only a small - same for all - part the other gender. Luckily, the world does not work that way.

I'm going to branch out / split the discussion of Novo Nordisk and tariffs from here to appriate topic in the Investment Ideas forum, from here, and doing it now.

Jeff [ @DooDiligence ], The same way as you do! - Isen't bull riding an American thing only? Europeans are whimps and don't do such things, and in Spain they have this primitive veird habit of killing bulls for the fun of paying spectators, perhaps a legacy thing from ancient Rome, with a modification?

And all while members of CofB&F are now starting to pick it up, I'm really getting my a** kicked by this rodeo bull. It feels like just about almost everything is headed, en route, to hell! -But Berkshire has really started to shine!, - I'm actually a bit up, ~2 per cent, YTD for 2025.

Reading this topic is almost killing me.

Bloomberg - Politics [March 26th 2025] : Europe Sees Putin Forcing Trump Into a Tough Choice on Ukraine The acticle mentions Putin requiring on behalf of Russia and Russian banks access again to SWIFT at POTUS, after meetings and negotiations in Saudi Arabia ended. Absolutely not for POTUS to decide, in any way. Ohh, well. Just the usual stuff and tactics from Russia. All *BS*, bluffing, etc.

It's also about that all kind of sh*t happens on overworked and stressed persons mobile phones, because you cut corners on data discipline and structure, to save time, short term, thinking 'I'll do it correctly the complete and appropriate way later', never getting back to it 'later', because you are overworked. Try to think about and imagine POTUS as your boss by now, in the cabinet. There is to no doubt he is demanding, very demanding.

Well, it ended up being a nothing burger, diden't it?, because he [the journalist] did not reveal anything untill after the attack in mention. I think he would have been in real deep trouble, if he did. I'm quite sure POTUS has reprimanded it internally, certainly not anyones favorite dish to get such things presented under a press meeting, like POTUS did here.

Private visit to Nuuk and preparation activities with the use of two Lockheed C-130 Hercules and four bullet-proof cars. Somebody should ask Elon Musk and DOGE to take a closer look into such use of military assets!

Yes, @Sweet, Denmark, since 4th April 1949, at NATOs founding, and Greenland ceased to be a Danish colony in 1953, where it by ammendment to the Danish constitution became a part of Denmark, like a county. - - - o 0 o - - - JD Vance and the current US administration made the right call here, to stop this thing, here. It was on its way to get totally out of hand. [UN security counsel and what do I know.] And there are lunatics everywhere. About every guy in Greenland with respect for him self owns a rifle, for seal hunt. It would be madness to let the nice second lady expose herself to such risk while visiting something as trivial as a sled dog race. Even sled dogs aren't just dogs. They live just about their whole life on a leash. Children learn from the start never to get near them alone, because, for a sled dog 'small hooman' equals 'food'.

@Sweet, Just continue blocking, untill you get what you want. You will eventually get there. Today, I can't live without it. I get a really good laugh about every day from there. - - - o 0 o - - - Here is one - I suppose the Greenlandic population has complained about there has not been time enough to let eggs and tomatoes get rotten up there. Mind you, it's cold up there! So changes to Second Ladys travel plans [ ]:

Reuters - World - Europe [March 25th 2025] : US says Russia and Ukraine agree to ensure safe navigation in Black Sea. This is actually great news, and also related to the discussion in this topic lately. It is 'for starters', - perhaps not much, but at least something very tangible. Certainly better than mutually just throwing explosive things in the head of the adversary and killing adversary citizens.

I've personally myself - for quite some time - been thinking about why you have not engaged recently here on CofB&F for quite some time, Carl [ @Cigarbutt ], That was untill I finally realized that the answer to my question was embedded in your last post.. Oh-well.

To me personally, totally lame reactions from you, and as usual one-liners, no Kjoules in there, no real work behind, just trolling and stirring the pot. For my part, it now stops exactly here. I'll ignore it from here. May your God be with you.

Exactly something like that is what was expected by me personally as reaction from exactly you. I can assure you, taking over Greenland is nothing else than taking on a steady stream of money outlays and acquiring ulcers for americans, while getting absolutely nothing in return. I still remember the first time I had an intense discussion with the Lady of the House about buying some shares in LVMH, also for her money. It did not exactly turn out well, but at least I eventually got my will, in the end, after quite some resistance. - - - o 0 o - - - Many, many years ago I got emotionally involved for a short period with a Southern Danish woman, living in my own city [, damn, I'll never forget her smell, and she actually started the whole thing by hitting hard on me!], who eventually ended up being a very good - and trusted - friend of mine, in all aspects. The sister to her [also a nice lady] was living for some years on Greenland with her spouse, who was sent to Nuuk as a public servant, as a part of the Danish administration. I heard absolutely crazy stories. Pretty much all societal structures and orders broke down into chaos back then, when the seal hunt started at that time of the year. People on the public payroll to take care of the elder population did not meet in, because of the seal hunt has started, people employed in kindergardens did the same, to go hunting, and so on, can you imagine the whole mess by everyone doing so up there, to go hunting. - Everything simply collapses, to gradually get up running again - over time. And they don't mind - at all. It's all about living in the present, the past and and the future, obligations and sucg does not really matter. - - - o 0 o - - - And when you afterwards were called to a 'friendly, but serious conversation' with your boss about not meeting in every workday in the period 'x to x', your answer is : 'Just fire me, if you're not satisfied with my performance', all while you see on your phone that your ordinary salary after tax has just rolled into your bank account. Great! - Right? - - - o 0 o - - - Now back to LVMH : I did explain the LVMH investment thesis to the Lady of the House this way : You have to imagine a Russian oligarch [, semi bald, quite a belly, obsese, in a polo shirt, and shorts, that does not fit him, becaue his leg are like pibe cleaners, slim and haired - in Monaco - entering a bling shop in the center of Monaco, because he was dragged in there by his bimbo girlfriend, saying to him at the desk : 'Show me you love me! - You do love me, right?' - after which the Russian oligarch is lingering, because of all the sanctions he is subject to, he is lingering about about if he is to use his Mastercard Black from UBS or the black card from Citi. - - - o 0 o - - - Good luck to POTUS, saying 'We'll make you rich!' - The Greenlandic population is ready to take advantage, - but not the way POTUS imagine.

I simply can't help here going back to @Vikings post earlier in this topic [quoted above], now about, - almost -, two weeks ago. - - - o 0 o - - - I'm a Dane, yes, and I'm upset about what's going on related to Greenland by actions etc. from USA nowadays. I'm not upset as if I feel my country is under threat of annexation from USA, because it's not, because I'm a 'Southern Dane', as defined in one of my posts upstream. The Kingdom of Denmark consist of three parts : The Southern part of Denmark, the Faroe Islands and Greenland. Greenland has an agreement with rest of the Kingdom, that its population can leave the Kingdom, if it wants to do so, by following an in advance defined and agreed prodecure and process to do so. The very simplified version of what on the political front is going on in Greenland, is that they [the Greenlandic population] have their own political boneheads and idiots yelling : 'Independence, independence! - The 'Danes' [the Southern Danes, including me] are abusing and exploiting us', so they want independence, all while thinking that total block subsidies etc. of approx. DKK 6 billion per year [ ~USD 1 billion] from 'Southern Denmark' 'naturally' just should continue to flow their way - Not! [ ]. So the real alternatives for the Greenlandic population are : Stay in the Kingdom of Denmark, or Get independent, directly en route to ice age or stone age, without block subsidies etc. DKK 6 billion from 'Southern Denmark' [options for you to decide], after which USA like willl step in, 'without asking' any questions about the wishes of the Greenlandic population, because USA would never accept such a step. - - - o 0 o - - - So much for sending Trump Force 2 up there in January, handing out red MAGA caps to fools and other people don't understand what they were participating in. I suppose the FLOTUS has turned down going up there based on POTUS' proposal, because it was not compitible with her stilettes, so now the SLOTUS had to go in stead.
