@DavidEpstein While soccer is one thing, there are now many similar examples across a range of sports. You may find this interview on this same topic quite interesting https://t.co/e6vrntOb8P

Sikre «sterk og stabil valuta»? Hva med å gi oss politikere som legger til rette for et fantastisk næringsliv og formuesvekst for investorer i norske selskaper, og en sentralbank som ikke er lavrentekåt og ønsker en svak valuta? Starte der kanskje.

[Sveinung Rotevatn @Rotevatn]

Nok ein dag der ei svak, norsk krone får juling i marknaden. Finst det betre alternativ? Venstre føresler å setje ned ein kronekommisjon som kan gi oss eit felles kunnskapsgrunnlag og vurdere forslag som kan sikre ein sterk og stabil valuta framover. https://t.co/PQEulWsJkI

Forkjemperne for formuesskatten er i praksis forkjempere for færre norske bedriftseiere. Ironisk nok er dette de samme menneskene som roper ut i forargelse når norske selskaper selges til utenlandske investorer. 😥 Tre frem: Trygve Slagsvold Vedum 🙈 https://t.co/D9gzv8dzMg

Financial repression. Make sure you have a plan.

Low unemployment. (Nominal) wage growth. Stock markets high. House prices high. But, still people in many geographies feel hardship. Actual CPI increase for many people higher than measured official statistics. Silent recession?

Argentina: From socialist extreme to free market extreme. Fascinating! Hope it is contagious.

[Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11]

Javier Milei has been sworn is as the new President of Argentina.

[Boom Bust @TheBoomBust]

Very interesting to see a (at the face of it) libertarian Javier Milei elected new president in Argentina. A bold vote by the average Argentinian! A man who fancies von Mises, von Hayek and Rothbard would definitely get my vote as well! https://t.co/aYvveTYi7f

@vekstportef Veldig viktig og riktig observasjon. 😥 Inflasjon er konfiskasjon av ens verdier. Og staten berikes av det. Skrev selv blogginnlegg om temaet i mine aktive bloggedager for 8 år siden (skatt økt nå) https://t.co/luWvaomPgJ

@rationalwalk Great effort 👏🏻 Do you have a strategy for getting through the books, and being consistent in it as well? My struggle is that I start books, then quickly switch to a new one, and then back again, then to a new one, back again, and so on.

@Hawkwings1 Kjøper aldri aksjer jeg ikke har til hensikt å eie frem til pensjon (og sannsynligvis til jeg går i grava og må gi vår kjære stat over halvparten av verdiene i gevinst- og soon-to-come-arveskatt). Berkshire og Markel er blant disse. Får håpe selskapene bevarer sin kultur.

Konsekvensen av norsk formuesskatt er at norsk eierskap eroderes.

Forkjemperne for formuesskatten er i praksis forkjempere for færre norske bedriftseiere. Ironisk nok er dette de samme menneskene som roper ut i forargelse når norske selskaper selges til utenlandske investorer.

@sinstockpapi Was a shareholder then, and remain so. Short report made me uneasy, then read it and found no real red flags, so materially increased my position at the share price dip. Happy camper today.

Still true. And always will be.

"Computers! Don’t look at the past, look at the future industries. Computer industry, that’s the one you should focus on.” - Den Fujita’s advice to Masayoshi Son in 1972(!)

[Vala Afshar @ValaAfshar]

December 26, 1982, @TIME placed not a person, but a “Machine of the Year” on the cover of its January 3, 1983, issue: The Computer.

In 1982, 80 percent of Americans expected that "in the fairly near future, home computers will be as commonplace as television sets or dishwashers"

Banker lager penger ut av løse luften. Dette er nok fortsatt et ukjent fenomen for mange, så fint å se det omtalt i massemedia: https://t.co/TMuSsoZbZL

Begynner bli noen år siden jeg blogget hyppig om dette temaet, som f.eks. her fra 2013: https://t.co/0MuqiHCma5

@Th__Nielsen Nisje: #9 på finske selskaper. Synes deres egenkapitalmarked får veldig lite fokus generelt, både i media og blant investorer her i Norge. Perkele.

@ArneUlland An added benefit as I see it is that owning parts of different companies across different industries in different countries increases and broadens ones areas of interest and attention to technological and industrial developments. An this, I think, prolonges ones mind and life.
