@ballendraaister Dat weet ik, dat was een humorville opmerking van mij, een slechte. Je bent een slimme en sophisticated dame. Ik bied mijn excuses aan. Het spijt me echt
@ballendraaister Haha, well I’m an excellent cook, romance is in my dna, if you’re up to traveling I’m your man, but if you’re attached to your home without any adventurous ideas wearing pyjamas you’re boring well bring it on 😉
@negativanuda Spero davvero che troverai felicità, calore e amore. Sei una donna bellissima e molto sensibile. Molto raro al giorno d’oggi, non li incontro mai. Sei autentico, non dimenticarlo mai.
@ElizabethHolmes Actually the truth enslaves.
What sets you free is the right to lie to yourself at the exact moment you need to. The people who stay sanest are usually those who mastered strategic self-deception, not the ones who fetishize brutal honesty.
Be me, Dutch investor
Netherlands approved 36% unrealized gains tax
WTF does that even mean
Put $1,000 into stocks
Year 1:
• Stock goes to $2,000
• Government: "you made $1,000, pay $360 cash tax"
• MFW I didn't sell anything
• Forced to sell shares to pay
• Everyone else forced to sell too
• Mass panic selling
• Stock crashes to $800
• I have $440 left after paying tax
Year 2:
• Stock recovers to $1,200
• Government: "you made $400, pay $144"
• Forced selling again
• Price drops to $900
• I have $756 left
Year 3:
• Stock at $1,000
• Government: "you made $100, pay $36"
• Smart money has fled Netherlands
• I have $964 in stock
• MFW I paid $540 in taxes
• MFW stock is back where it started (0% gain)
• MFW I only have $460 left
• Lost 54% on a stock that broke even
MFW the government made more money off my investment than I did
Government: "Thanks for the $540! 😊"
