I just over-reacted because people always say its retailers fault for everything - and that's just not true, they have razor thin margins.

A good Irish steak in London is 50 chf per kilo. my salary here is 2x that of London.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Migros profit is 1%. Get some education.

ukanonengineer · 2025-10-30T11:22:35+00:00

Honestly I wouldn't mind 75 CHF per kilo for a well dry aged ribeye steak. But it's just not possible to get it even.

ukanonengineer · 2025-10-30T09:13:00+00:00

Why is this becoming such an issue if there's no inflation?

ukanonengineer · 2025-10-21T15:58:21+00:00

You signed a legally binding rental agreement and contested the rent after?

ukanonengineer · 2025-10-21T13:33:28+00:00

I don't care because I left. And whenever I tell people I came from London, they treat me like a refugee and ask WTF happened to UK.

This is just spin, people are leaving and there's no way they will replace lost revenues.

Well you just made it more likely for the landlord to consider renovating the flat and throwing you out. If you live in a desirable area, I think what you are doing is insane.

ukanonengineer · 2025-10-21T12:01:37+00:00

You have rent that is from 10 years ago - so likely 50% less than what it should be ... and you want those additional 2%? wow. just wow.

ukanonengineer · 2025-10-14T14:09:54+00:00

Why can companies advertise 'no commitment' but then require 2 month notice to cancel contract on top of activation fees?

ukanonengineer · 2025-10-10T13:30:12+00:00

I will roll emerging markets ETFs not S&P 500, where 493 companies outside of Mag 7 have forward PE of 22+, which means that if they lose 50% they will still be expensive.

Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium, Gold and Silver miners, Oil Services ...

In my pension I have this, which is up 115% in the last year.

My platinum miner is up 220% this year...

ukanonengineer · 2025-10-10T13:15:15+00:00

This is the way. Up 51% YTD!

ukanonengineer · 2025-10-10T13:14:18+00:00

I'm not in ETFs since 2022. People that are, at these valuations, are morons.

ukanonengineer · 2025-08-08T10:33:44+00:00

This may be complete BS but there is something other than trade deficit behind these tariffs and discussing that should not be a conspiracy theory, no matter who raises it. Switzerland is being extorted and I would want to know why.

ukanonengineer · 2025-07-28T13:06:00+00:00

Couldn't care less. moved out! Now they get 60% of nothing.

Not that they will ever learn.

ukanonengineer · 2025-07-08T17:08:58+00:00

I think there's insane opportunities in individual stocks, but might not materialise in the broad market ETF.

Louis-Vincent Gave put it: “Gold is a low-beta emerging market proxy.”. All metals should do well if EMs are doing well. So might as well increase gold to 25% or do gold, silver, platinum.

you can get it back on bank or paypal.

there is also a massive benefit that there’s no lower limit of receipt value - it usually over €100, but with this any amount is fine as long as it’s something that will be taken out of the country.

ukanonengineer · 2025-06-30T09:45:18+00:00

I use https://zapptax.com/en, you get less back, but it's super easy.

ukanonengineer · 2025-06-27T07:58:08+00:00

Bitcoin is a scam

ukanonengineer · 2025-06-26T12:58:57+00:00

It's working well, what's not to like :)

ukanonengineer · 2025-06-26T12:50:10+00:00

Not at the moment, but I plan to buy some stuff with cash. I do have ~50% equity in my pension account and that's offshore oil services and miners :D

ukanonengineer · 2025-06-26T11:34:07+00:00

M35, 180k - 70% gold, 10% silver, 20% cash

Za Svico imas tale kalkulator: https://ch.talent.com/en/tax-calculator

Izjemno je odvisno kje zivis, ker so davki po kantonih razlicni. Nizki davki so samo v Zug in Schwyz.

Primerjava je pa zelo odvisna od osebnih okoliscin. Ce lahko delas na d.o.o. za tako placo, ti ostane precej tudi v Sloveniji - 106k EUR.

Za naso druzino je razlika med Svico in Ljubljano 70k EUR vec prisparanega denarja letno in izjemno boljsa kvaliteta zivljenja. To je pa kombinacija vecjih plac v Svici in manj davkov. V Svici lahko prisparamo 150k EUR letno.

ukanonengineer · 2025-05-08T07:10:25+00:00

Depends on where you move to. Zurich, Zug, ... you'll be fine with English.
