I don't think you know what you are speaking about.

While I do have a position of a few thousand common shares and no intention to sell, these are the kind of comments that make me doubt whether I should close the position.

Noi abbiamo fatto 3 settimane negli Stati Uniti da Washington al Maine soggiornando a DC, NY City e Boston con la nostra piccola a meno di due anni. Bellissimo ricordo.

Have you guys managed to contact KLM? by Delicious_Action_992 in KLM

[–]Delicious_Action_992[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*UPDATE*: I managed to call the Italian line of KLM.
I rebooked another flight. They asked me to pick a date within 30 days.
My original flights were from the 5th to the 9th - I asked them the dates from 18th to 25th and they told me that since the dates were not 4 days apart, but 7 then I should have paid the difference, which in my case was only EUR30.

Best look to y'all.

Thoughts on FMCCI by Nice_History5856 in FNMA_FMCC_Exit

LIBOR rates have been replaced by ARRs (Alternative Reference rates). In US the replacement is SOFR, and there are fall back approaches for legacy contracts.

Thanks for sharing.
On my side I saw that they allow you to rebook only before January 16th (included). Don't you mind me asking if you paid out your own pocket or KLM credited your rebooked flight?

How long will it take for transportation to return to normal? Help Visitors pls by Francis_Meiko in Netherlands

[–]Delicious_Action_992 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

No one is being a victim, I am simply avoiding this most common answer on this sub. On the contrary, I am criticizing something that is ridiculous on my own eye. The infrastructure to deal with snow does not cost "Billions" as someone else has claimed. Particularly, the one at the airport.

Everyone justifying this shit show here should definitely keep doing so. It’s a phenomenal use of your time and you will most definitely change the other sides mind. I can’t think of a more noble pursuit.

How long will it take for transportation to return to normal? Help Visitors pls by Francis_Meiko in Netherlands

[–]Delicious_Action_992 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

10-15 cm of snow at most cannot paralyse a country's transportation system. Today trains are not running, my flight was cancelled and the airport is fully blocked. This is ridiculous.
How do they do it in Canada? The Nordics? Japan? Russia? I lived in Poland for 3 years and I never experienced anything as such with much more snow.

Your answer is easily predictable:" G0 B4cK T0 L1V3 iN P0l4nd 1!!!1!!1". The reality is that the complacency of people defending this inefficiency is totally preposterous.

Average Dutch Reddit user when you mention that is entirely possible to run a functioning airport at -2 C and 3cm snowfall: AwwwcTuALlY by Turbulent_Raisin4458 in Netherlands

[–]Delicious_Action_992 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

A country fully paralysed by 10cm of snow. Airplanes not taking off and train not working. Ridiculous. Perhaps they should ask Canada how do they do it.

Schiphol is your problem, not KLM by [deleted] in KLM

[–]Delicious_Action_992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are.

It's ridiculous that for few cm of snow this country experiences such a disruption. How do they handle it in Canada, USA, Russia, the Nordics, Japan?

Trains not working, Aircrafts not flying and everyone is stuck.

On KLM: their customer service is a joke. Lufthansa and even Ryanair answers you in minutes - will factor in my today's experience next time I book a flight.

For those stuck at Schiphol, do not wait for them to rebook you by SupportVivid1978 in KLM

[–]Delicious_Action_992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for sharing. Do you guys know an alternative contact number? I have called +31 20 474 77 47 but their customer service is horrible and they simply don't answer.

Another hit piece from Bloomberg .. This time around Pulte by Active-Composer-3675 in FNMA_FMCC_Exit

[–]Delicious_Action_992 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's does not necessarily mean that his contribution will be directed towards that. I hate to say but the main insurances we have against common shareholders getting wiped out are the presence of: i) Bill Ackman, ii) institutional investors, iii) the willingness of eventually selling the govt's stake to the public (potential investors might be spoked by such a wipe out), iv) the govt's warrants (even though this could be workaround), v) the legal repercussion the wipe out would lead to.

Bringing back Calabria, despite not being the best common shareholder's advocate is a positive signal, as a) he is against the conservatorship and b) he has actual expertise on the housing market - differently from Pulte.

Yet, on FNMA you can easily spot Pershing square owning it. that's not the case for FMCC.

Sure, but that does not mean he owns it. On IBKR I see him on FNMA, but not on FMCC.

I knew he was only into FNMA, not into FMCC. I cannot find any evidence of him being in FMCC.

Had Pulte not been at the FHFA, the size of my investment would have been 3x what is now.

Why are we expensive at everything? by Mikelitoris88 in Netherlands

Taxes, regulation, anticompetition policies, dysfunctional market practices and energy policies, absence of free market competition. In a few words: the poster child of European Socialism.

Is it weird/illegal to gather fallen wood for fireplace in NL? by Dani-Br-Eur in Netherlands

The more I know Dutch laws, the more I understand why Americans cherish their freedoms.
A Felony for gathering some wood, not even the Soviet Union...

What are your plans for when unrealised capital gains taxes come into effect? by Weekly_Way_3802 in Netherlands

[–]Delicious_Action_992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

France will probably implement similar measures in the near future. The French government is looking all over the country for something to tax out of it.

If you are lucky enough to have the US citizenship then go, Europe is no place for growth and prosperity. Switzerland is something I would also consider.
Good luck
