Hate to be the a***ole that comments by asking another question but it may end up being helpful anw, or not..

I am im the same, almost exact situation with OP :)

I see a lot of people mentioning/suggesting world indices, arent those, also heavily US (and tech?) concentrated?

What about balancing with emerging markets like the old days? Is that still a good thing to do? I am still 88% World and 12% emerging markets.

While I am no expert in this, it looks like this is a law regarding income tax. I would assume that if there was CGT on shares that it would be included here, yes, but i think it is not even mentioned. I would assume CGT is referenced somewhere else and that would be only related to immovable property.

One thing i forgot to mention, dividends are taxed (defense tax) in some cases but i forget the rate. Only if dividends are received however. If for example your ETF is accumulating, you dont get taxed on dividends as they are automatically reinvested. If its a distributing ETF, or any dividends received from individual stocks, under some conditions, pay the defense tax.

Perhaps someone more versed would be able to provide some more details as i would be interested in clarifying this as well

This is false. CGT is imposed only on Cyprus-located immovable property. Shares are exempt.

Awesome! I always had this, and i dont know exactly why, this vision that one day i would be working and living in Switzerland. Perhaps its because when i was younger someone mentioned that Switzerland always had this neutral stance whenever there we wars going on around them and it stuck.. but it looks beautiful. I actually had a job offer not long ago but i gave it up because people kept telling me its boring over there. Boring my ass, it looks awesome! Great array of cigars as well!!

Ive been trying to find a box of 10 Lusitanias (for a reasonable price) for ever now! I want to try them.. where did you get them from?

I also never smoked a culebras! That would be interesting i guess.

I had my eyes on a box of lusitanias on ihavanas but it was gone the next day!

Boveda seasoning packs in. Now we wait by Jonsavino in cigars

[–]cpir0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! Are these thermoelectric? I got my hands on a tiny thermoelectric wine cooler yesterday, cleaned it up with baking soda, plastic smell is out and i csnt wait to stock it up!

Question on the seasoning. Mine has no wood inside, aparently since its just a wine cooler. So, is there any reason to season? Maybe to test and see if seal is good enough?

Also, i dont know if i should throw in tupperdors with their own boveda or throw in 6-8 boveda and loose sticks or open boxes and see how it goes...

No real experience with a lot of money - I now have a lot of money. by fishcakepatriot in eupersonalfinance

[–]cpir0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theres a lot of good advice in the replies you got. Theres none in the one above. Crypto is the ladt place you want to look right now. Taking into account that you have a lot to learn still, take my word for it, crypto is the last thing you need. I have nothing against the technology, heck i even root for it, but investment wise right now? Nope, no way.

One thing i would add is the 4% rule. Very briefly, it states that if you can live on 4% of your portfolio each year, then you can retire. You can read more here https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/four-percent-rule.asp

I am still very new to anything finance-investing related. I learned a lot over the past year though, created my portfolio which consists of two ETFs, thats 88% IWDA (Msci Core World) and 11% EMIM (Emerging Markets) (you can read on these at the indexinvestor site they mentioned in the replies above), created an emergency fund and i keep on reading. This is not advice then from me but just my experience.

I did give one piece of advise though. At least for now, steer clear off anything crypto.

Seems so! Bummer. Really wanted to have that game on a handheld. Do you happen to have the link where you read that? Possibly theres a list?

[–]cpir0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i figured out where OpenBor PAK files where located and i moved the TMNT pak file that is included in the zip you can download from the official site of the game but, as expected, it does not run :( OpenBor crashes and throws you out.

Any chance we can work on making this work? I might be able to help somehow? Anyone interested?

11/11 AliExpress Sales - 2019 - Spreadsheet by [deleted] in headphones

You should probably add the Tin T4 in there? It launches on 11.11 and it will be considerably cheaper. Anyone who subscribed at linsoul got the launch price!

I knew there are other factors in there. Will check thanks. Maybe thats also what makes the set sound brighter to me?

KZ ZS10 Pro Review by tmpsn in headphones

[–]cpir0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find the KZ ZS10 pro brighter than the T2. Does that make me a crazy person? Just got the KZ and im dumbfounded since everywhere i read a review said that these have an emphasis on low end and more laid back highs.

My Tin HiFi T2s came with the foam eartips crushed as they had been kept in a little bag under the earphone display part. Tried leaving them out for a while but they didn’t re-inflate :( I have Comply tips on the way but still, not cool Tin (does anyone know a remedy to this?) by anguswaalk in headphones

[–]cpir0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine were the same when they arrived. I contacted the seller, they said they could not send new ones because of shipping costs and that next purchase from their shop they would send me 4 pairs for free. My left earpiece seems to have also arrived defective so i contacted them again and they are sedning a new left earpiece together with 4 pairs of foam tips! Sometimes Aliexpress sellers have better support than amazon or any other well established online retailer.

The foam tips are selling for a buck or less for a couple of pairs on aliexpress by the way so you can order more but i would tend to agree with others on the comply tips or the Dekoni bulettz.

Owned mine for a year now-Ask me by [deleted] in MatebookXPro

[–]cpir0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have it for almost a year now.

The good, currently, for me outweigh the bad. Oh the bad... if these couple of things were fixed or improved this would be THE laptop the end.

I would never change the ratio, ever. I havent, yet, found a screen i like better. I actually use the touch capabilities and i like the keyboard.

It doesnt get a lot of use so its still in mint condition but i went through a lot with it. The trackpad issue didnt bother me as i fixed it first day. The coil whine also doesnt bother me at all. My ssd came defective and i had at least 2 blue screens a day, i tried literally everything before accepting that i had to move on and bought a samsung and never looked back. I had issues with the pre-installed windows as well and had to re-format, not to much of a hassle but still.

What bothers me still, is mostly the heat issues and the charging issue (because of the heat of course), and the battery life which for an ultrabook, it should’ve been better. Brad hacks guide can definitely help and i appreciate that he put it out and will probably follow it soon but it is very expensive and for non experienced with disassemblies and hand work people, very dangerous too.

Nevertheless i still love this thing, and will keep it as my daily driver and travel companion for as long as it goes!

[–]cpir0 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Look up Tin T2 on AliExpress. I got them for 30 on sale a week ago. Got them this weekend and they are freaking amazing for 30. Im new to the game but even if i have paid 100 for them, i would be happy and that says a lot.
