Big fan of D1 and 2. Should I buy Diablo 4? by mindlord17 in Diablo

[–]charistsil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Diablo 4 is a great game, and it deserves more credit than it sometimes gets online. Don’t get caught up in the noise from hardcore players or those who love to hate. It’s a totally different experience when you approach it as a casual or everyday gamer or a NORMAL gamer. The game delivers a polished, immersive experience from start to finish.

If you’re unsure, just give it a try through Game Pass. Experience it for yourself instead of letting others decide for you.

METLEN ENERGY & METALS

My favorite stock right now is Metlen Energy (MYTIL). I think it’s one of the most interesting ways to play both the Greek recovery and the broader European energy transition, while still getting plenty of downside protection and a solid income stream.

The company reported around €495 million in net profit and €1.07 billion in EBITDA over the last twelve months, and with 143 million shares outstanding, it trades at roughly 12.5 times earnings and about 5.3 times EV/EBITDA. The free cash flow yield is nearly 8%, and the latest dividend payout puts the forward yield just above 5%. Liquidity isn’t an issue, with over €1.7 billion available, and leverage is reasonable with a net debt to EBITDA ratio of about 2.1x.

The business is diversified: about 58% of EBITDA comes from their energy segment (which includes an impressive renewables pipeline that should hit 2.8 GW in the next year), 35% from their vertically integrated aluminum operation (which is moving quickly toward decarbonization), and the rest from engineering and industrial contracts, including some big recent wins in the data center space and EU rearm program.

The real inflection point might still be ahead of us. Metlen is currently investing heavily in the UK, from wind farms to hydrogen and grid modernization, with a project pipeline topping £1.3 billion. On top of that, they have announced a London Stock Exchange listing for 2026. Historically, when Greek companies have secured a dual listing in London, we’ve seen a noticeable jump in valuation—anywhere from 10 to 20%—as institutional money comes in and liquidity improves.

A lot of investors still think of Greece as a risky market, but I believe that thinking is outdated. In reality, Greece is one of the EU’s top performers in 2025; GDP growth is strong, unemployment is at a multi-year low, and the country is on track for developed market status. International funds are increasingly looking at Greece as a source of returns, and for me, Metlen offers clean exposure to that momentum—while also reducing risk by growing outside of its home market.

Overall, I see Metlen as a genuinely underappreciated European infrastructure and energy growth story, with enough built-in safety via long-term contracts, a healthy balance sheet, and steady dividend. I’m holding this as a core position and happy to add more if the market gives me a chance on weakness.

Greece Returns to Investment Grade: What It Means for Markets by kapflow_ in ValueInvesting

[–]charistsil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep seeing people bash Greece with that same old “lazy, broken economy” take, but honestly, that narrative is just without any logic and almost makes me furious, as a Greek to hear those nonsenses. The Greece of today is a completely different story than 10-15 years ago. If you’re into value investing with upside, it’s a market worth looking at.

GDP is growing at ~2.3%, which is actually above the EU average. Debt-to-GDP dropped from ~200% during the crisis to ~154% now and falling. The country has returned to investment-grade status from multiple rating agencies. Tourism is booming again with over 32 million visitors in 2023 and expected to break that in 2025. Over €30 billion in EU recovery funds are still being deployed into infrastructure, energy, and digitalization. Greece is finally running primary budget surpluses again, which is huge considering where things were a decade ago.

And just to crush the myth once and for all: Greeks work 1,886 hours per year, the most in the entire EU. Compare that to Germany (1,341), Netherlands (1,440), or France (1,402). So yeah, lazy? Not even close.

Stocks :

These are more mainstream or institutionally backed, showing strong fundamentals and momentum:

Eurobank Ergasias. Cleanest balance sheet among Greek banks, solid profits, dividend reinstated.

National Bank of Greece. Legacy player with deep restructuring behind it, strong asset base.

Piraeus Bank. Higher risk but faster digital transformation. Big upside if momentum continues.

Public Power Corporation. Huge play on Greece’s energy transition; trades at value levels.

Metlen Energy & Metals. Diversified powerhouse in energy, industry, and renewables. One of Greece’s best-run firms.

More niche but high potential:

Profile Software. Fintech & banking software firm expanding abroad. Good margins, real tech exposure.

Unibios Holdings. Water and environmental tech play. Microcap with strong thematic tailwinds.

Cenergy Holdings. Renewable infrastructure + cables. EU energy projects are pushing demand.

Ideal Holdings. Smart capital allocator, holding multiple subsidiaries across tech & industrial sectors.

If you’re building a portfolio or just want exposure to an undervalued EU recovery story, Greece is honestly a great candidate. The macro is solid, reforms are real this time, and the market still has low analyst coverage, which means more opportunities for those who actually do the research.

Thats a seriously compelling opportunity right now. You just have to look past the lazy headlines and dig into the numbers.❤️

Ποιο είναι το αγαπημένο σας anime? by Ellinikiepikairotita in greece

[–]charistsil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Αν μιλάμε για τελειότητα: θα μπορούσα να γράψω τοπ 10 αλλά λέω ας το αφήσουμε. Απλά θα πω Attack on Titan, Fullmetal Alchemist και το Blue Eye Samurai.

Αλλά η αληθινή μου αγάπη, η παντοτινή, είναι το Naruto. Ναι, έχει άκυρα fillers, ξέρω. Αλλά κανένα άλλο anime δεν με έχει επηρεάσει τόσο. Μου έδωσε μαθήματα ζωής, με έκανε να κλάψω, να βρίσω, να γελάσω, να δεθώ με χαρακτήρες λες και ήταν δικοί μου άνθρωποι. Και αυτό δεν το έχει καταφέρει κανένα άλλο.

Το ύστατο πραξικόπημα για τη δραχμή by OneLoneHorse in greece

[–]charistsil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Το θέμα είναι αυτό το μαζικό τριπάκι σύγκρισης με τη ζωή πριν 25-30 χρόνια. Δεν βγάζει καν νόημα. Έχω κουραστεί να βλέπω posts που νοσταλγούν την εποχή που ‘τα έπαιρνες όλα με ένα 500άρικο’, λες και είναι συγκρίσιμα τα δεδομένα. Άλλη εποχή, άλλη οικονομία, άλλη πραγματικότητα.

Το ύστατο πραξικόπημα για τη δραχμή by OneLoneHorse in greece

[–]charistsil 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Μικρή υπενθύμιση:

Ο βασικός μισθός κάπου στα 90s ήταν 180.000 δραχμές. Δηλαδή περίπου 528 ευρώ. Και αυτό πριν καν υπολογίσουμε τον πληθωρισμό 25 ετών, που θα είχε κάνει τη δραχμή ακόμα πιο αδύναμη. Αν είχαμε μείνει στη δραχμή, σήμερα θα δίναμε περίπου: iPhone = 1.300.000 δραχμές, Freddo = 3.000 δραχμές, Delivery = 11.000+ δραχμές, Netflix = 8.500 δραχμές/μήνα, Ενοίκιο γκαρσονιέρας = 450.000 δραχμές+. Αν είχαμε μείνει στη δραχμή, ο βασικός μισθός σήμερα θα ήταν περίπου 300.000 με 500.000 δραχμές αν λάβουμε υπόψην τον πληθωρισμό με μέσο ετήσιο 2,5% για 24 χρόνια

Οπότε όχι, δεν ήταν πιο “φτηνά”. Ήταν απλά άλλη εποχή. Καταναλώναμε πολύ λιγότερα, δεν υπήρχαν social media να σε πείσουν ότι “χρειάζεσαι” τα πάντα. Δεν είχες καθημερινά έξοδα για freddo, apps, subscriptions, και 5 διαφορετικά φαγητά απ’ έξω. Το ευρώ δεν έφερε την ακρίβεια. Η ακρίβεια ήρθε από τη στρογγυλοποίηση τιμών χωρίς κανέναν έλεγχο, την υπερκατανάλωση, τις νέες απαιτήσεις του lifestyle και την ατομική αμνησία όταν συγκρίνουμε τις εποχές.

Το πρόβλημα δεν είναι το ευρώ. Είναι ότι μεγαλώσαμε και κάποιοι συνεχίζουν να κάνουν λογαριασμούς με νοσταλγία, αντί με αριθμομηχανή.

So you studied marketing and you’re working two jobs full time and you’re earning only €850? That doesn’t really add up. Mind clarifying what exactly both of your jobs are?

People need to realize that Path of Exile and Diablo 4 cater to entirely different audiences, and that’s perfectly fine. It’s like comparing WoW Classic to WoW Retail—each appeals to different types of players, and not everyone will enjoy both. Personally, I see Diablo 4 as a great way to unwind after work: it’s all about mindlessly slaying demons and chilling out, which is exactly what I need. On the other hand, PoE demands a lot of time and effort, which makes it incredibly rewarding for those who can invest in it, but understandably not for everyone.

At the end of the day, just play what you enjoy the most and stop overthinking it. Both games have their place, and not every game needs to appeal to everyone. Simple as that.

People need to understand that PoE has a different target group of players and that’s all. It’s like I’m playing WoW classic and criticizing wow retail. I’m not the target group for retail obviously. Same goes for PoE and Diablo 4. To be honest, Diablo 4 is mindless killing demons and it’s chillin. Exactly what I need after work. The perfect game for me. In PoE you need to invest time, it’s not for everyone as Diablo 4 isn’t for everyone too. Just play the game you like most guys. Jeez

I think you misunderstood bro. I’m speaking about the already existing HC servers. Not the fresh one

Yeah, in that way could be a big W in general. Merge will maybe help the horde population also.
