@Evvezz1 @trolldusmanii14 @stats_feed Some Turks, particularly those working in the service sector, are in low spirits and may not be as warm and friendly as they were a decade ago.

@trolldusmanii14 @stats_feed 12%, also that is a huge amount but ur monkey brain could never comprehend, you should check my profile and check my country, my monthly salary is probably higher than ur yearly. I've also invested in Turkey alot, more than u could ever make. You are an imbecille tbh.

🇹🇷 Turkey is no longer a cheap travel destination. Inflation is driving up hotel, restaurant & excursion prices. Many now quote in Euros, reducing the cheap Lira advantage. Middle East tensions are also slowing bookings. Still popular, but expect higher costs in 2026.

@MaryCol69061277 @SelfMadeMastery Cryptocurrency

@SelfMadeMastery Right? My son an DIL make combined $150k, bought a nice house, 2 paid off cars and a good amount invested. What are people buying?

If you can’t live comfortably off $150,000 a year, you probably have a money-management problem.

@MarionCero91656 @DekuTCG @cardcollectrs Prices have risen so quickly that it feels more like an investment than a hobby, and it’s certainly very frustrating.

@DekuTCG @cardcollectrs It's hard to measure true demand with the amount hoarded, or collected, invested or whatever you call it. I've seen 2 popular Poke-investors claim to have 100+ Felt Hats in a PSA 10. The price is normal but how quick we got here is not. Frustration = Shambles

The hobby is in shambles but you also had about 3 years to buy them at $60

@jokermadhouse @cptdankkk Using money to make money is, after all, a smart move

@cptdankkk Getting $500k isn’t bad especially back then he could have invested that money and probably have same amount like the royalties.

Tony Hawk reveals turning down $500,000 from Activision was the best financial decision of his life "When they were close to launching the game, they started to sense that there was buzz about it. It was already getting good reviews from previews and they felt this surge of interest" "They offered me a buyout of future royalties right before the game launched. They offered me half a million dollars. They said you get that right now and then no money going forward" "No one had ever spoken those types of numbers to me before, but I felt like I was in a pretty good place. I was doing well in other ways. I was still skating a lot, doing events, I had good endorsements, and I thought I'm gonna take a risk and I don't need that money right now"

@Tim_G_1983 @GMShivers @FidFosh @ThePosieParker I agree; unrealised gains should not be taxed repeatedly, as this would amount to penalising success and long-term investment.

@GMShivers @FidFosh @ThePosieParker 1/ Yup. If I work my tail off, start, grow, and sell 2-3 businesses by the time I’m 60 I’ll have paid an incredible amount of taxes on that ride up (mid 40’s %). Then I take that already taxed money and invest it and am an early invested in the next Uber. I’m now “worth” $1bn.

This is a sublime take down of Gary’s “economics”.

@SirCumference98 @garygastelu Agreed!

@garygastelu There is no amount of money they will accept, they’ve just invested massive amounts developing technology for these regs, they aren’t going to just throw all those developments away for no reason.

F1 is bringing back V8s with less electric power in 2030 or 2031 Imagine telling your fans they have to suffer through something they don't want to watch for four or five more years The OEMs should just cut a $ deal to do it even sooner

@Reivax93547087 @LibertyNut1 I couldn’t agree more! The whole world is laughing at the United States. Politicians only work for the benefit of lobby groups, never for their own people. AIPAC’s influence is far too great.

@LibertyNut1 Not just Americans the world is embarrassed for you. You only elect pro Zionist pedophiles. The amount of money invested outside the USA would be necessary in the states. 97% politicians are with AIPAC so what do you expect. They never worked for the people.

Let's test out this BULLSHIT theory! Are you embarrassed by Trump? Be honest. Yes or No

I agree with your point of view, but the reality presents challenges. The UK’s National Insurance (NI) operates on a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) basis. Shifting to a funded system would require a generation-long transition involving ‘double payments’ (supporting current pensioners whilst building up one’s own pension fund), which would be extremely costly.

@SalfordsFinest1 @stuey_beef The money that's taken from us, should have been ring fenced and invested. After 45 to 50 years it would have made a much larger amount of money to pay a decent pension. Other countries do it, why can't UK?!

The state pension is not a random government favour, it’s the back end of a 35–40 year compulsory “contract” where people are forced to hand over National Insurance on the clear promise of a basic pension at the end. Politicians and think tanks helped design an unfunded, pay‑as‑you‑go system where today’s workers pay today’s pensioners, then have the gall to call it “unsustainable” as if the public dreamt it up. If a private firm sold you a retirement product on fixed terms, took your money for four decades, then announced at 66 that you “didn’t really need it” and would henceforth be means‑tested or frozen, they would be in court for mis‑selling and fraud. The crisis here is not pensioners “leeching off the young”, it’s a political class that built a Ponzi‑style NI system, diverted the proceeds for other spending, and now wants to default on the people who kept their side of the bargain. You do not blame the victims of a defective product for believing the brochure; you go after the people who wrote it.

@SalfordsFinest1 @mandy83906280 @stuey_beef It’s best to pray that you don’t fall ill or have an accident; it’s just like winning the lottery.😅

@mandy83906280 @stuey_beef At median salary levels when adjusted for inflation the average person would contribute £118,000 in contributions over a 51 year working life If they retired today and lived to 82 they would collect £228,000 in state pension.

@RickNas95547619 @Concern70732755 It’s true that Canada is nothing more than a cash cow to him; a 1.2% investment is really just a token gesture.😂

@Concern70732755 The same percentage amount as he is personally financially invested in Canada, 1.2%

I know how I would rank him !

@MirageWL8 I hope that’s true

$NBIS up 15% and the story is just unfolding. As I’ve been preaching, $NBIS in my mind is as compelling of an investment as $TSLA was back in 2018

@BigsMeta @GodsBurnt That’s an interesting insight

@GodsBurnt GGs fam. You in control now though

I sold my grandma's house last week. I put everything I made from the sale into Pokemon cards. She had a stroke and I became her financial power of attorney so I was in control of all her assets. In her day, real estate was the move but for this generation it's Pokemon cards. She doesn't fully understand what is happening but she'll be moving in with me where I can take care of her and we can both watch our generational wealth grow. Pokemon cards are up 20X in 5 years and they aren't stopping anytime soon. The rest of my family thinks I'm crazy and they started suing me but they just don't understand. This collection will make us filthy rich and they'll thank me later.

@PRoberto79 Do you need to be interested in something before you start investing?

So, having not picked up a brush in 3 years since we moved due to lack of space, I have a studio to paint We have been living in close quarters for so long and space has been a premium, and I am feeling incredibly blessed.

@lunanbaybeach It’s so beautiful! There’s something so poetic about the fleeting nature of that blue sky.👍✨

Briefly saw that strange blue sky before the thick heavy sun dimming clouds took over

If the Strait of Hormuz were to be blocked, fertiliser supplies would be cut off immediately, adding further hardship to farms in the southern United States. The UAE’s food corridor and agtech initiatives are indeed positioning themselves ahead of the curve to ensure global resilience, and are well worth keeping an eye on.

@chrismartenson US farmer squeeze is legitimate - 78% can't cover inputs. Hormuz bottleneck is real and severe. Worth watching how UAE sovereign capital (food corridors, agtech investment) builds supply resilience where others debate risk.

The window for applying fertilizer without facing reduced yields is closing. Food inflation caused by supply shortages seems unavoidable at this point. I strongly advise everyone to stock up on what food you can and to plant a garden &/or befriend local farmers.

@Osivwi10 I agree; a 16% steady lock-up is quite good. Doubling the land sounds appealing, but the liquidity is much poorer.

I'll say it's not There are three types of investments Low, mid and high Not all investments should give high returns There's this uncertainty called life, and it happens. low is like making sure your money is safe first, then enjoy small yields/returns. money can't be idle

@stedyng @overmebury @Object_Zero_ High taxes + drilling bans = no investment; Beihai Oil & Gas is heading for collapse – what about the UK’s energy security?

@overmebury @Object_Zero_ The government takes nearly 80% of the profit on anything flowing through this in tax They are also the ones stopping it from being used longer term No company is going to commit money to maintain something that the government won't allow to be used to pay back any investment

The Forties Pipeline System (FPS) This is the pipeline system that carries most of the oil from the North Sea to the UK. It collects the oil from 85 different North Sea oilfields, and flows around 550,000 barrels of oil per day back to the UK mainland. For context, in total the North Sea has around 400 offshore platforms between the UK and Norway, producing and exporting both oil and gas. FPS is a British oil pipeline system. Exploration drilling for North Sea oil is currently banned on the UK Continental Shelf. It has been since the current government came to power. As a result of the drilling ban, the Forties Pipeline System is currently uninvestable according to its owner INEOS. They haven’t invested in its upkeep for 2 years. INEOS have said the pipeline will close by 2035, but without investment maybe as early as 2030, which is now just 3.5 years away. 550,000 barrels / day is equivalent to 38.96 GW of primary energy. This is 10x more energy than the UK’s new Hinkley Point C nuclear power project, which is projected to cost £48 billion for 3.2GW of electrical power. Electrical energy is joule for joule more valuable than chemical energy, but the comparison of scale is real. 38.9 GW is more energy than the entire National Grid carries. The largest energy system in the UK is not the grid it is this underwater pipeline system. With drilling banned, and the North Sea entering a period of forced closure, the Forties Pipeline System is going to close in the not too distant future. Once the pipeline is no longer economical, the entire Central North Sea oil production will collapse with it. This isn’t something that closes down gracefully, the entire Central North Sea basin reaches market through a single pipe. BP recently announced they are selling up their remaining assets and getting out, Exxon, Chevron, etc are all already long gone. Nobody wants their brand near this collapse. The tax rate is 78%, the government wants this national infrastructure to shut down. It will. The German Chancellor recently called their nuclear fleet closure a “Strategic Blunder”, interesting choice of words. But I think it was obviously a blunder to anyone outside their propaganda bubble. Likewise the UK’s North Sea. The German nuclear fleet averaged 10.3 GW of primary energy output over its operational life, which is around 1/4 the primary energy of the Forties Pipeline System. The UK has a few other pipeline systems but this one is by far the largest and the most critical. Now this infrastructure, isn’t supposed to last forever. But when it goes you should have a plan. In the UK nobody talks about this. It’s taboo. A lot of people think “yeah but they won’t let that happen”… well it happened in Germany, and it happened in Japan. A lot of people want it to happen, and a lot of those people are in politics. So what replaces this? Nothing? Is the UK just going to go silently into the night?

@wholeshot5 @danjaques96 @thewheelhousenj @IfindRetards Technical debates are quite good😂

@danjaques96 @thewheelhousenj @IfindRetards I would if you weren’t such a pussy hiding behind a fake profile, show your face, coward

This is what Jeff Frye teaches. Maybe he gave Fernando free swing advice while playing racquetball recently? This is why the chop wood method doesn’t work This is why feel Vs real is not a thing Fernando is quite LITERALLY DOING the chop wood swing down Jeff preaches.

In 1996, I sold AAPL to buy a house; the house is now worth over six times what I paid for it. I reckon Apple must be worth hundreds of times that by now, eh? Back in the day in Silicon Valley, with phone-based trading and hidden fees, it was certainly a wild ride. Times have changed; thankfully, now all it takes is a few taps on an app.😂

Which reminds me of Kelmoore Investment Company in Palo Alto. 😆 They had various stuff going on . They were fined in 2007 by SEC. Welcome to the wild west of Silicon Valley. Anyway, back in the day, one needed to call in and buy and sell stock. How barbaric. 😆
