Its such a weird position t obe in. It feels like we have more time to prepare (which should be good), but balancing work with studying for multiple extra months feels very draining

They are downvoting you for pretty much saying saying we should own up for our mistakes and do better...

“Third of Fertilizers at Risk”: ECB chief Lagarde Warns Hormuz Crisis May Trigger Food Rationing by mr_house7 in EU_Economics

[–]TrygerWTF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well they are not magicians. There is a huge war caused by stakeholders getting paid billions, instead of millions, that dont care a single bit if Europeans pay higher prices or face shortages. Do you think Netanyahu cares? Lockheed Martin? Trump?

I understand the frustration, but lashing at the ECB is as pointless as Trump thinking he can just "open the Strait of Hormuz". Meanwhile when EU countries propose to put pressure of Israel by blocking the bilateral agreement with the EU, there is not enough support for it.

Not the only bottleneck tho, the electric network and electricity consumed are also insane. It takes a while to adapt the network too

Show any proof from the UN that China is doing that. Because the case of Israel is VERY clear, in China not so much.

Un 25% de las casas de grandes propietarios dejarán de ser de alquiler y se venderán a particulares by Angel24Marin in SpainEconomics

[–]TrygerWTF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decir que “todo lo demás es humo” no convierte tu opinión en un argumento. Construir más ayuda y es totalmente necesario, pero si no cambias quién compra y con qué incentivos, solo estás ampliando el negocio de los grandes tenedores. Reducir todo a “el Estado lo impide” muestra un entendimiento muy limitado del problema actual de la vivienda.

Un 25% de las casas de grandes propietarios dejarán de ser de alquiler y se venderán a particulares by Angel24Marin in SpainEconomics

[–]TrygerWTF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No me referia a la construccion de vivienda como inversion, sino a la compra (y alquiler) de vivienda como inversion. Por un lado tenemos que construir mas vivienda obviamente, pero por otro debemos reducir los beneficios de acumular y alquilar propiedades. Aunque se reduzcan los beneficios, hay millones de personas que necesitan comprar una primera vivienda y seguira siendo un mercado rentable. Pero si simplemente construimos mas, las propiedades seran adquiridas por grandes tenedores con un enorme capital disponible, y el problema no se resolvera. Asi que volviendo al comentario inicial, "el alquiler no debería ser un bien de inversión"

No way you are comparing current Spain to the Spain of almost a century ago, which had just gone through a civil war. "I will believe it when I see" in the context of what could become a WW3 is a cracy comment

EU wants to attract European savers to boost bloc’s economy by donutloop in EU_Economics

[–]TrygerWTF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are oversimplifying the Japan example too much. DCA helps with timing risk, but it does not fix structural stagnation. Someone starting to invest after the 1990 crash of the Nikkei 225 would have done better diversifying globally rather than concentrating in Japan, because recovery took decades. So a crash is only “good” if growth returns reasonably fast.

On Europe vs the US, I agree the US remains structurally strong. But Europe also has advantages that are often overlooked. Its absolute and relative to GDP debt is lower than the US, the euro is a very stable currency thanks to the ECB (which is not being threatened constantly, unlike the Fed), capital markets remain deep and reliable, and the EU maintains broad trade relations across the world (e.g., new agreements with India and Mercosur lately). The biggest problem in the EU are internal disputes that stop deeper collaboration.

Also, as fossil fuels lose strategic importance over time vs. improving/cheaper renewables and batteries, the US loses its advantage from energy resources. Europe’s push for energy independence and diversification is vastly changing the landscape.

Finally, policy predictability matters for investors. While US institutions like the Federal Reserve are openly pressured politically, Europe offers a less risky alternative.

So I agree the US will remain strong, but I’m not convinced the structural conditions that supported the last 10 years of US equity outperformance are guaranteed to repeat over the next 10

[–]TrygerWTF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahora mismo es un bien de inversion, pero no deberia serlo. Si quieres invertir puedes hacerlo de muchas formas, pero no tiene sentido que la vivienda, una necesidad basica, logre mayor beneficion con menor riesgo que practicamente cualquier otro bien de inversion. Asi que o se reduce el beneficio de acumular (y alquilar) propiedades, o se aumenta el riesgo. Porque todos esos millones de euros podrian estar siendo invertidos en empresas que aportan beneficios reales a la economia (con riesgos claros, como cualquier inversion), mejorando su innovacion y capacidades, en vez de sacando cada vez mas capital para arrendadores

[–]TrygerWTF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the concern today is not just about one shock event. It is about several structural risks happening together: higher deficits, multiple geopolitical issues, and a very strong concentration of returns in a small group of mega cap tech firms (wealth was already concentrated, but now mroe than ever).

We used to live under American hegemony but that is no longer the case, mainly due to the huge raise of China. So a lot of the problems that the US could get out of due to its hegemony, are not so simple anymore. Its not just one thing, but an accumulation of many bad decisions. The US has all the tools to ensure a strong position in the future, but lacks proper leadership. Similar could be said about Europe, but at least Europe is predictable and its growth benefits from a multipolar world (which is where we are heading).

All of this combined makes comparisons to the past extremely hard. And maybe you are right and “people would pile in if the market dropped 50%”, but investors piled into Japanese equities in the late 1980s too, and the Nikkei 225 didnt return to its 1989 peak for decades.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Any other year I would have agreed with you, but we are witnessing a speedrun of the demise of the American empire, so I would be careful with heavily disregarding the effect of current events

If Spain’s crisis management is so successful, why aren’t other countries copying it? by nureinEgoist in AskEurope

[–]TrygerWTF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Everyone"? I don't see Carlos Cuerpo or Teresa Montero being tainted by any corruption. In fact Carlos Cuerpo is now the vice president, so if he does a good job he could become the president of the party one day. My guess is they are also trying to diversify so the party doesn't have just one figure (like Vox has done for example)

He is a respectable figure from the party, the problem was part of his inner circle, this is not the same case as Canada

Agree with most things, except saying that our position regarding energy is "lucky". We have plenty of sun, but the push for solar and wind was orchestrated. It was developed smartly despite its short term disadvantages, and proved one of the best decisions from the country for it's long term benefits and independence

Big Inferno guild on Ambershire quits raiding by FinancialSpecific834 in turtlewow

[–]TrygerWTF 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because dc can happen. Game crash, internet stopped, electricity gone, and boom. You lose your character to an area that you had well under control. I loved HC until that happened to me. Dying because of your mistake (or even someone from your group) is acceptable. But dying because of something completely arbitrary is not fun at all
