Re: Investments Trade Log

Sort of yes. A simple model is price = price/earnings * earnings. Inflation tends to increase earnings, but the market tends to decrease the p/e multiple due to uncertainty about how much of the increased revenue translates into increased earnings since the cost of running the business also goes up...

Re: Investments Trade Log

Also: I know this is a concept someone born on/after 1980 has no idea of, but we had a lot of inflation. An on steroids example: look at what happened to the nominal values of the Zimbabwe stock market during their period of hyperinflation. Which is why I believe “the stock market is an inflation he...

Do you like baby corn? You should! It is one of the quintessential sources of Umami flavor* I get the baby corn from Trader Joe's https://i.ibb.co/Vt1xRPG/IMG-2869.jpg Boil it 10 minutes in unsalted water https://i.ibb.co/PmscLcF/IMG-2871.jpg While boiling, preheat some salted butter https://i.ibb.c...

Re: Investments Trade Log

Bought some Nike today following the drop, and have been slowly building a position in Pfizer as well.
Both long term plays. I especially like Nike at these prices since it seems to be trading at low multiples looking back 6-7 years. I am hoping it drops further.

I have received a few suggestions I would suggest to check if they have music (usually at night on Friday/Saturday you’re fairly certain they do) The ones outside the center are the best apparently https://maps.app.goo.gl/q1pV8f21AgRvqEmt5?g_st=ic This one is close to the intestines place https://ma...

No problem at all! If you know people in Belgrade, they will know kafanas where to bring you for sure, but if for some reason they don’t, I can ask.

Re: ERE Travel Thread

@Jean When you come out of a night of fraternizing, you definitely want to try a pljeskaviča sandwich with kajmak and ajvar. For fraternizing, my ideal spot in srbija is a kafana. Essentially a traditional restaurant where you eat and drink a lot for a long while, then when everybody is full and … u...

Re: guitar player's journal

We are hijacking guitarplayer’s journal, sorry. As you mentioned, my job pays significantly better (which is important because we are not at the level of assets that make me comfortable in pulling the plug now), but also provides other side benefits that we are not willing to give up yet. We have be...

Re: Chenda's sober ramblings.

Just wanted to report that I’m still going strong, drinking less and less. I’m still drinking almost every day, but I am now down to maybe 100ml of wine per dinner. I’ll try to keep this pace for another few months, and if it works I’ll try quitting completely when I start my new job. Thanks again c...

Yes I will 100% look into it if the new job allows. I’ll start at the new company in May, probably moving to NL sometime around June, with the family joining in July. I will have to see what I need to plan when I start, but if I can I’ll be there for sure. Compared to what you are planning, mine wou...

For my defense, It takes probably more hours to get a hunting license in switzerland than a flying license in alaska.

Re: guitar player's journal

Well, in my case I know I would like teaching… because I’ve done it! Sure 90% of the kids don’t care, but my unusual mix of basic cynicism and positive attitude* makes it tolerable for me. There is nothing (I really mean: nothing) more fulfilling for me than seeing a kid learn new stuff and be happy...

I am, as usual, overwhelmed by the awesomeness of your updates. I don’t have as much time to spend on the forum as I would like so I regularly fall behind (plus, I’d love to follow at least 5x the journals I actually follow), so please follow Jacob’s advice and be vocal about projects.

Ok here we go, almost 8 months since my last update... Time really flies. After (only) a little over a year and a half in Miami, we will be relocating back to Europe, in/around Amsterdam. This happens a bit sooner than we would have ideally liked, but I got a job opportunity I really could not refus...
