    There will be no TV in my house. My girlfriend knows this is non negotiable. Maybe some sort of home cinema in a dedicated room to occasionally watch rugby games, BJJ fights or a good movie but I find it crazy how 99,9999% living rooms are centered around a TV. Mine will be centered around a...

    2022 recap, how did it go for you?

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    2022 has been good. It could have been better, as there is always room for improvement, but let's appreciate what has been accomplished. I completed a major real estate project and tripled my short term rental income. I am now at a point where I make a bit more than I would if I was still an...

    How do you get a supplier to work with you?

    EXECUTION 
    Can't you kind of fake how small you are and say you want to start working with them on a lower volume first to make sure everything is alright before scaling up ?

    Mail In Shoe Cleaning?

    IDEA 
    I definitely see potential here. It reminds me of this cool business, Knife Aid: Knife Sharpening - Professional Mail-In Service | Knife Aid® They appeared on Shark Tank. Basically the same as you but with knives. Seemed to be pretty successful ! Maybe you can have a look at their website and...

    It could be worse, you could be living in Europe where the bolsheviks would be telling you to calm down on your Christmas lights to prevent a global outage. Of course this is YOUR RESPONSABILITY, and it has nothing to do with THEIR CHOICE to turn off nuclear power plants and stop buying cheap...

    I used Canva yesterday for the first time to create a gift card. They made the whole process so easy, printing included. It would have taken me hours of searching and YT tutorials to achieve the same on Photoshop. What a beautiful business. Otherwise, here is what I read when I checked Canva's...

    Have you tried Brave Search ? I've been using the Brave browser for a long time now, but search wise I switched to it from DuckDuckGo when they decided to censor Russian websites (plus I learned that they rely on Bing and friends for their results). I find what I'm looking for most of the time...

    Easier in the USA.

    INTRO 
    Maybe business is easier in the US, maybe it is not. I don't know. In my case, it's common in France to think and say that it is a terrible place to do business, and I would tend to agree. However I've never lived in the US, so I refrain from having a definitive opinion on the matter. Here...

    There's no way you could see the Milky Way so clearly with your own eyes anywhere in the world, only a camera can render it like this with long exposures. Colors manipulation is actually an interesting question here, as most stellar objects can't be seen by human eyes. For example, the James...

    Not sure yesterday's sell off is related to either the midterms or CPI, several articles suggested that it happened because of a rumor that came out about FTX being insolvent.

    Here is Tastytrade's trade idea for today. I don't trade the VIX directly but I thought it was interesting as I was surprised too that volatility barely budged yesterday with the down move we had. What say you @socaldude ? :)

    Government bonds are the safest investment they said... -50%, back to 2011 levels, which were actually already reached in... 2003 (not even accounting for the fact that the dollar hugely inflated since then).

    Funny how the markets are good at making one look like an idiot... This is kind of my thinking as well. Economically speaking, who do you bet on if not the US, the EU ?

    Seems like direction is gonna be down. S&P instantly down almost 2% on the CPI announcement (came out above consensus) after being up 1% previously. Nasdaq down almost 3%. Cryptos down significantly. /VX up almost 2 points. US Inflation Rate Rises More Than Expected

    What did you study at university and what do you do now?

    Graduated as an industrial engineer. That part of my life lasted only two years though. I run a real estate business now (short term rental), and looking for something else to start.

    EURUSD dropped more than 20% already, if anyone hasn't found out yet I'm wondering what they need to... I'm glad that around a year ago I decided to put a bunch of my money outside of the EU juridiction and its stupid currency.
