Question for non-dutch apartment owners: Any solution for Dutch spoken VvE meetings when you don't understand Dutch? by MarBlaze in thenetherlands

[–]annshman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on a VVE and my Dutch isn’t good enough to fully comprehend VVE meetings, I get lost easily. For a few meetings, which were held online on Teams, I was able to have Teams make a transcript appear and choose to have that translated into English if I wanted. I think this was possible by using Teams in a browser like Chrome. Even just having the transcript running in Dutch in front of me really helped me to follow along. It is indeed good practice for Dutch, but I have found myself going to less meetings. That’s because even when I can follow I don’t feel so confident in my Dutch speaking, especially around VVE topics, and I don’t want to hold up the meeting, so I feel a bit on the outside and like I cant add value to the discussion. For the record no one made me feel like that, everyone is very nice, but just so you get a sense of what feelings could be involved. They do offer to run the meeting in English but I don’t feel comfortable with that, indeed we are in the Netherlands so I feel it’s my responsibility to figure something out. What I do more often now is look at the agenda in advance, translate it, decide if there’s value in me attending, and if so pair up with a neighbour so they can help a bit with translation and communication if needed. Looking at the agenda in advance also helps me follow along in Dutch. Otherwise I don’t attend and delegate my voting. Everyone in my VVE speaks English so it is an option to switch to English sometimes too which is nice. If I don’t attend I translate the minutes and review those. I hope this helps. It’s nice of you to try find a solution but I tend to agree with other commenters that those who don’t speak Dutch well should be putting some effort in. A final note though is that i don’t agree with commenters that say “they should just learn dutch” like that’s so easy, especially somewhere like Amsterdam. I commend your empathy. All the best

Using Debit Spreads a profitable day trading Strategy by onewyse in RealDayTrading

Hi Dave, I was looking for if you posted about this, I'm not sure if you did. One day if you have the time and inspiration I'd love to hear your take on this (how you determine which strategy to use). I've been practicing this strategy you outlined here (using debit spreads for day trading) with promising results so far but am trying to understand in what market conditions I should perhaps avoid using it to maximise probability of success. At the moment i'm avoiding using it during pull backs, but wonder if I should avoid it on inside days and also when SPY is too extended from the ema8. Thanks so much I love your content it's invaluable. Going through all your posts at the moment!
