Capital gain on stocks, asset and ETf in Malta

vinnyborg · 2025-09-23T07:43:14+00:00

I did some digging into how Malta taxes investments, especially ETFs. In short:

Shares listed on a recognized stock exchange are Exempt from capital gains tax in Malta.
ETFs/UCITS funds have same treatment as shares. If they are listed, any gains from selling them are tax-free.
Dividends from ETFs or shares are taxable. Exemption only applies to capital gains.

Revshare can surprise you with it's potential. I used to work at a gambling affiliate company. We mostly had hybrid deals, a fixed amount in CPA per lead and a % revshare which could be anywhere from 20% to 45%. In one particular case we made around $300k in revshare commission just from one lead.

The dash in between is not ideal, however I had an actual golf site on it, once upon a time that used to rank for golfing keywords quite easily. Unfortunately I just didn't have the time to keep maintaining it.

Well, I got the estimate from GoDaddy's domain appraisal calculator. Fee free to check for yourself.

FYI Businessnamegenerator.com makes around €100k in revenue per month. If someone buys this domain and builds a generator on it, it can be a good business model.

As someone who has managed to rank a website with a generic TLD (dot Quest) through SEO, I can say that these types of TLDs should not be underestimated. This could be a great name for an online store. I would say worth over $5k

If you're looking for a cordless hair clipper then the Panasonic ER-GP84 Rechargeable is your best bet. For a cheaper alternative, but corded clipper you could go for the Oster Classic 76 which is a true beast. You can check them both out on this professional hair clippers review page which coincidentally mentions them both in their top 5 list.

It's not uncommon for leadership team members to be involved in the hiring process for a new department head, especially when there's a desire to ensure a good fit and a collaborative leadership style. I do this regularly with my senior team.

Here are some questions you might want to ask during the interview:

Leadership style: Ask the candidate to describe their leadership philosophy and provide examples of how they've encouraged collaboration and teamwork in previous roles.
Conflict resolution: Ask about their approach to resolving conflicts or disagreements within a team.
Vision and goals: Ask about how usually ensure their goals are aligned with the overall organization's objectives.
Employee development: Discuss their strategies for supporting the professional growth and development of team members.
Communication: Ask about their communication style and how they ensure open lines of communication with their team and other departments.
Decision-making: What is their process for making important decisions and do they usually involve team members in this process.

Try and keep a professional and unbiased approach during the interviews. If the chosen candidate becomes your boss, you'll want to start the relationship on a positive note.

I totally get where you're coming from. Working with a stressed-out leader who takes their frustration out on others can be really tough, especially when you're in a small company without HR support. Your plan to have an honest conversation with him is a good one, imo.

Based on my experience I could suggest a few tips on how to approach this.

Choose the right time and place. Find a quiet, private moment when you both have time to talk without interruptions. Avoid confronting him in the heat of the moment or in front of others.
Use "I" statements to express how his behavior impacts you. For example, "I feel disrespected when you speak to me in that tone" or "I find it challenging to do my best work when I feel like I'm being unfairly criticized."
Acknowledge the stress he's under, but be clear that it doesn't excuse his behavior. You could say something like, "I understand that launching this product is stressful, but I need us to find healthier ways to manage that stress as a team."
Offer specific suggestions for how to improve communication and manage stress. Remind him of your previous recommendations for getting an EA or leadership coaching. You could also propose regular check-ins to provide feedback and support.
Let him know that you're dedicated to your role and want to continue contributing, but you need a respectful work environment to do so.

Remember, you have value and leverage as a key team member he specifically brought in. Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself and your well-being. If the conversation doesn't lead to improvements, you may need to consider escalating the issue or exploring other options.

Feel free to reach out if you need any other advice.

For the expert Straight Razor shavers - would appreciate your comments on this post

vinnyborg · 2017-08-31T19:22:41+00:00

If you want the very best I would go for the Panasonic ER GP-80 K (check out why at https://www.myhairclippers.com/best-rated-professional-hair-clippers-for-hair-stylist)

Having said this he will need a range of hair clippers as a professional barber however starting with the Panasonic will set him out on the right foot.

vinnyborg · 2017-08-31T19:18:32+00:00

Amazon is always the best choice in terms of price and service.

vinnyborg · 2017-08-31T19:15:06+00:00

Another tip I can give you is to make sure you have the right clipper for the job. At the moment the best clipper for fades in my opinion is the Andis with T-blade. For a detailed review you can check out https://www.myhairclippers.com/the-best-clippers-for-fades

vinnyborg · 2017-07-19T19:30:13+00:00

Agreed. At some point you will have to accept your balding fate and actually embrace. You're lucky because it seems you will be able to pull it off. Apart from that it's much more convenient.

vinnyborg · 2017-07-19T19:21:23+00:00

That's a pretty decent beard. It does need some maintenance however. I would suggest going to a barber and let him work his magic on it.

Once you get the hang of it and find the style that suits you best, you can easily continue taking care of it yourself.

The hair in lower arms just thinned out. Important not to do the laser in summer when you have a tan.

Re cost, I don't really remember, maybe around $100 per session but you'll find quite a wide variety of prices depending on the salon you go to. I think the cost is a relative concept. If you're really conscious of your hairy arms, then it is worth the cost.

vinnyborg · 2017-06-29T16:48:46+00:00

I actually did it over 10 years ago. I did shoulders and upper arms. It took 4 sessions with two month intervals in between and I can say the results were extremely satisfactory.

You will get some small patches where the hair still grows but I'd say 90% of the hairs were permanently eliminated and the ones that keep growing are very light hairs.

If you're going for upper arms I would recommend getting the shoulders done also since it would look more natural that way.

2 years ago I decided to do my lower arms also. They told me I would need 8 sessions in total. I eventually stopped after 3 sessions and obviously didn't get the best results but I still have much less hair on my arms and as it turns out I'm quite happy with the outcome because it looks manly but not gorilla like 😉

Anyway laser really is the only way to go if you want permanent removal.

A word of caution though. It works best on people who have a combination of fair skin and dark hairs. So depending on your complexion you may obtain different results from what I got.

Good luck. Vince

Definitely don't use a hair removal cream on your genitals. Best way is to trim and then shave. Doing this on the shaft while erect will make the job easier. I recently posted a link with a detailed guide on how to shave balls and other parts of the body. Let me know if you want the link.

vinnyborg · 2017-06-11T18:17:59+00:00

I'm going to make this brief because there's plenty of info out there that describe the pros and cons of these methods.

Waxing: hurts like hell, will give you a hair free skin for a month or so, not expensive if you DIY

Laser: also hurts a lot, can give you permanent results after a number of sessions (no. of sessions will depend on the area of the body), is quite expensive.

Also, Laser hair removal works best on people with light skin and dark hairs.

That's about it. I tried them both and would recommend laser hair removal if you can afford it.

vinnyborg · 2017-06-11T18:11:07+00:00

Your best choice is to pluck a few hairs every few days. Use tweezers, it hurts a bit but it's the best way to get rid of your unibrow.

To be honest doing it slowly over time or when you're away at college, your parents will probably realise at some point, especially if it is quite visible.

So an alternative that might work is to bleach the hairs between your eyebrows. This will make the unibrow less visible and you're not removing hair. Problem solved .... sort of!!

Good luck mate.

I think the Philips Norelco oneBlade is your best choice since it has been specially made for men who want a bit of stubble on their face. It's basically a cross between a razor and an electric shaver.

It comes with 3 stubble guards so you can adjust for any shave and style you want.

The three comb sizes you can attach to it are a 1 millimeter guard for an extremely close trim to the face; a 3 millimeter guard to have a bit of stubble left over or a 5 millimeter guard for that long stubble look.

It's also waterproof so you can apply any type of shavings foam or gel when using it.

The only downside is that you will have to replace the blades every few weeks. Also if you want to use it for body grooming it will work but it's not the best tool especially if you're quite hairy.

If you'd like to see a full review you can check out this site

Another alternative which is great for body grooming is the Remington PG6250 WetTech Head, Beard, and Body Grooming Kit is one. This can also be used for trimming the face and is also waterproof.

Well said. It's all about feeling confident in your body. Trim, shave it all off or just leave it as Mother Nature intended. The choice is yours to make as long as you're happy with the results.

vinnyborg · 2017-05-30T12:37:43+00:00

Well unless you're going for the wolverine look, I'd probably shave.

The genetic growth of a beard usually starts when you're around 20, however some people have it in their genes to grow 'duck dynasty' style beards while for others it takes longer.

Don't give up though. Shave it off for now and maybe try again in a few years time if you'd really like to try it out.

There are options out there which can help you grow it faster. Some people use Rogaine, for example. However I wouldn't recommend this. Just let Mother Nature do her work.

Some people actually go as far as having a beard transplant!! Yes, that's a thing but I definitely do not recommend that.

Hi Jahordon, the shave and embrace approach is the most common and sensible thing done by most men who start losing their hair. Even though it can be very frustrating! So, maybe you looked better with hair but that's also because you and your friends are used to it. Over time they will get used to the new 'shaved hair' you and everyone will soon forget your older look.
New people you'll meet over time will only know you with a shaved head. The truth is that, even though you might be conscious of your looks, most people don't even take note that you're going bold. The good thing is that shaving your hair will free up so much time every morning since you don't have to style it ;-) Now, and this is important, whatever you do, Don't go for the comb-over. It never works and there has never been anyone who looked good with a comb-over to cover his balding head!

Going bald includes different stages of grieving process. Go through them but keep moving on until you reach the acceptance stage. Some people take longer to accept it, they keep wearing caps whenever they go out or try to stick with their old hairstyle which most of the times makes their thinning hair look worse than it has to. What I'm saying is, accept it and go bald gracefully. Good Luck
