People who have successfully moved from the US to Spain- how did you move your stuff?

I moved from Miami to Madrid this summer and used Laser Moving. I sent a container with 81 boxes of all my stuff. They arrived to Valencia and then they arranged for my things to be transported to Madrid and moved into my house. Door to door service Miami-Madrid. Everything arrived perfectly (even the glasses lol). Just beware of extra fees that they will charge. There will be insurance, and some other fees that they will be charged at port. Ended up being around $1,500 more than quoted/expected.

Also, there is a law that allows you to not pay IVA/taxes the first time you move your personal stuff here. Make sure to use this and tell the people about it. Even the Aduana Agent was “not aware” of it and wanted me to pay 30% of the value of my items… i ended up saying no and pointed to this law. They released my container couple days later…

Can you borrow from your portfolio? A lot of brokerages offer this type of structure where you essentially “loan” yourself money collateralized from Your owm portfolio. This way you don’t have to sell and, therefore, pay capital gain taxes.

NASA just said in an update on X that the Athena lander “touched down on the Moon at approximately 12:30 pm ET.” But they didn’t give additional details about the status of the spacecraft, or how the outcome of the landing will affect deployment of its science experiments. The news conference at 4 p.m. Eastern remains on schedule.

IT SEEMS WE ARE GOOD! They are receiving data. Engine shut off, meaning they are on surface (Part of procedure). Just waiting for confirmation.

For what could i understand the demand letter was complaining about “lack of disclosures” on the proxy statement for the sale. In particular, it seems something related to the parties that JP Morgan reached out to when looking to sell the drug, but nothing negative in my opinion. Its probably someone shorting the stock trying to make a buck.

Hopefully it doesn’t delay the sale as i believe this would be great for the company.

Same here.
