The PRICE of an asset is simply the solution to marginal supply and demand. All of the below are estimates of "Value" and create a catalyst only when the cash flows internal to the company create external cash flows that change marginal supply and demand, e.g. dividends or buybacks

It always makes me laugh when naive US leftists talk about "free healthcare" in Denmark. You pay a 60% top income tax rate and then 25% VAT when you want to buy anything. You can barely afford anything and then wait four months for a specialist appointment. Nothing is free.

Pink Himalayan salt. Ancient, pure, mineral rich, hand mined from ranges untouched by the modern world. A quick word before you grind it over your eggs: - It is rock salt, about 98 percent sodium chloride, chemically a table salt with the same sodium as the cheap white stuff in the blue drum - The pink you are paying extra for is rust. Trace iron oxide in the crystal, which is to say the dirt is the entire selling point - The fabled 84 minerals are real and gloriously useless. To get a single day's potassium out of them you would need to eat around three and a half pounds of the salt, roughly the amount that would kill a grown adult several times over first - A fair few of those 84 celebrated minerals are ones no marketer would ever read out by name, the odd trace of lead and cadmium tucked in among the wholesome glitter - It is hauled out of a mine in Punjab, Pakistan, about 300 kilometres from anything you could honestly call a Himalaya - Sold, gram for gram, at many times the price of the near identical rock salt they throw down to grit the roads in January The mountain is a marketing department. You are paying a premium for rust with a better postcode.
