    Petroyuan Coming? End of the dollar?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    And then I will say it describes France to a T. The problem with this line of thinking is that Americans will say America is done, Singaporeans will say Singapore is done and French (like myself who is putting some of his money in Singapore to play Asia's rise and the West's decline lol) will...

    View: https://twitter.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1643658603885101073?s=20 Adding to what @thechosen1 sait about CBDCs not having to be highly energy consuming, here is in a nutshell the risk with what is basically programmable money. The CCP (as everyone else obviously) is working on this too...

    Petroyuan Coming? End of the dollar?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Funny to read this post now as earlier today I opened a position in Singaporean bonds as a proxy to play exactly what you are talking about. I used to have one in Chinese bonds but couldn't accept to be relying on the CCP. Yields are good enough to be interesting and it serves as a hedge...

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Shutter speed shouldn't be useful to you, especially shooting video. If you take it slower, all else being equal, the image will be brighter. Conversely, if you take it faster, all else being equal, the image will be darker. Aperture is what impacts the depth of field and is interesting to play...

    Hey Tim, first congrats on putting yourself out there. I've never done video but I'm a photographer and many concepts come together, so here are a few suggestions if I may. Can you manually set the aperture when shooting on your phone ? If so, the lowest the "f number" (for example: f2.8), the...

    The SVB (Silicon Valley Bank) Failure, Nothingburger? Or More?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    We may have to change the title of this thread with Credit Suisse instead of SVB. Regulators, SNB and UBS are apparently negotiating to bail it somehow and prevent a disaster. Credit Suisse is almost 3 times as big as Lehman Brothers was when it declared bankruptcy, almost 10 times bigger than...

    So there are a lot of protests in my country after they posponed the legal age for retirement (which I will not discuss further as it is both uninteresting here and not the point I want to make). Besides health issues, I can barely imagine anything more infuriating than having a politician tell...

    The SVB (Silicon Valley Bank) Failure, Nothingburger? Or More?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    That would be a hell of a different story than SVB. Credit Suisse is a systemic bank. As are Deutsche Bank and UniCredit. From their 2007 top, these are respectively down 98%, 89% and 92%. I would love to have a look at what they are holding in their balance sheet... Must be quite a thing to see !

    HOT! CHAT 
    To be fair with banks (and insurance companies), they are required by law to buy this useless government paper. I'm not sure worldwide but this is how it works in my country, I would expect it to be quite similar with varying degrees at least across the Western world. Of course, this is to...

    Now they just need to go BRRRRRRRRR again to propel the real estate market further upwards and make sure that no one can buy a home without the government's kind partnership. Beautiful.

    Do you believe in something your past self would've laughed at?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Hell yeah ! Except some core general values like respect or a good work ethic, almost nothing I do or believe today existed in my life just 5 years ago. Thinking about my former self, who is actually not far away in time, is a bit cringy honestly. I take the fact that my current self...

    Agreed ! I often find myself looking for stuff in English after I couldn't find an interesting answer in French. Actually most of the time I directly look it up in English.

    Maybe regulations prohibit them from directly buying crypto, while they can buy stocks, even if they are crypto related ? I don't know about Canada, and actually don't know precisely about here, but pension funds are heavily regulated and I would be very surprised if they were authorized to buy...

    Goals and resolutions: What will you accomplish in 2023?

    EXECUTION 
    Here we go. I have 3 main goals for 2023, and a few minor ones. Some of them, mostly the minor ones, are inspired from reading Die With Zero a few days ago, which was recommended here. Main goals: - expand my current real estate business or start a totally different one. First option would mean...

    Book discussion: Die With Zero by Bill Perkins

    BOOKS 
    That was a very good end of the year read. It definitely challenged some beliefs, especially about proactively defining what experiences you want to have in your life (and particularly WHEN), when to give money to your heirs (I had never thought about it this way) and being fine with spending...
