Travel / Holidays in Poland, is it still worth coming here? [22]


They're the best I've seen anywhere. The only problem is getting there: I usually fly to Glasgow, hire a car, stop somewhere overnight, then get a ferry the next day. You could also fly, but the non-subsidised seats are pricey and so's car hire on the islands. Also, as there are no direct flights from here to Glasgow, you need to go via Amsterdam or London (or Paris) and that extra time means you usually miss the flight from Glasgow to whichever island airport, so add in a night at a Glasgow airport hotel.

So, not going to go into detail about what the supposed price was?

History / 81st Anniversary of Warsaw Uprising [72]


I've always wondered what the supposed price was. If Poland was something which the US and the UK sold to the USSR (which they clearly did not), what was the supposed price that Stalin agreed to pay?

On the topic of investing in stocks, does anybody happen to know how one can invest funds in a PPK into ETFs? Ideally not WSE-listed ETFs but even WSE-listed would be than nothing.

Also, am I correct in thinking that the smart thing to do is set one's PPK contributions to 4% and then forget about them? And it's better to max out one's IKZE before funding the IKE?

Travel / Holidays in Poland, is it still worth coming here? [22]


Yes, very much so. We always do a couple of one-week holidays inside Poland each year and a couple of long-weekend city breaks too. Last summer we spent a week in a cottage near Dukla at the beginning of September and liked it so much we're going back to that area next month. We also did a week near Augustow last spring and the spring before that, at this cottage alohacamp.com/en/property/laspole-924


If you want superb empty beaches, head up to the Outer Hebrides in early June. Berneray's West Beach matches anything you'll find in the Caribbean but it's empty. Last June we spent four hours walking along it and saw five other people.

Poor dumb jimmy seems to have lost his mind: he believes that anybody is going to do anything other than laugh at a geriatric hockey scammer! Hoot! That's nearly as funny as poor dumb jimmy claiming to have a photograph that proves 21% of $1.6 million is $456,000 when in reality all it proves is that poor dumb jimmy is too dumb to understand what "total account value" means! LOL!

As if anybody was ever going to believe that poor dumb jimmy has assets worth $1.6 million when poor dumb jimmy can't even divide 16 by 4!

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [747]


If poor dumb jimmy donates to PF even 1% of the $456,000* he claims to be 21% of $1.6 million and what he made in a single day on Tesla shares, I'll agree that there are however many genders you say there are.

In poor dumb jimmy maths 1% of the $456,000 is $9,680, and he's got a photo to prove it!

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [747]


Are you saying that you don't accept that poor dumb jimmy has a photo which proves that 21.91% of $1.6 million is $456,000?

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [747]


It's very different. With the incident you mention one needed to believe a friend of mine who worked at the place. With poor dumb jimmy claiming that 21.91% of $1.6 million is $456,000, one can read that for oneself in this very thread. And one can also check for oneself the number of Tesla shares a person would have needed to make $456,000 on 24 October (9,737 shares, because Tesla shares went up by $46.88 and $456,000 / 46.88 ≈ 9,737). And one can also check for oneself the value of 9,737 shares on Tesla at close on 24 October ($2,536,929.76, because $260.48 x 9,737 = $2,536,929.76).

So here one needs to believe nobody other than one's own eyes.

Well, you could choose to believe poor dumb jimmy when he tells you that his precious photo proves your eyes are lying and he really is a multi-millionaire. LOL! Hoot!

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [747]

Poor dumb jimmy really does have problems with facts. And the truth.
The simple fact is that anybody who says that 21.91% of $1.6 million is $456,000 is a liar.
Fidelity have never said that. Fidelity said that a client with a total account value had made $456,000 on Tesla stocks in one day.
But poor dumb jimmy is too dumb to know that total account value is assets less liabilities, so he thought the photo he was sent showed that that client had a holding of $1.6 million in Tesla shares. So poor dumb jimmy lied about the value of Tesla shares he had. To make $456,000 on Tesla stocks on 24 October one needed 9,737 shares and $260.48 x 9,737 = $2,536,929.76. Such a simple truth, but still far too complex for poor dumb jimmy.
And now poor dumb jimmy seethes and rages every day because he's been proven to be a poor dumb liar too dumb to even divide 16 by 4. LOL! Hoot!

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [747]


Your claim is clearly false, just like poor dumb jimmy's claim that 21.91% of 1.6 million is 456,000. At the very least poor dumb jimmy reads them, as can be seen from the rage they make him fly into. As for who else, who knows? But everyone here does know that poor dumb jimmy is a liar who can't even divide 16 by 4.

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [747]

Poor poor dumb jimmy, now it's all been explained so even the dumbest of morons (i.e. poor dumb jimmy) can see what happened. He was simply too dumb to read the words "total account value" and to understand what they meant. And from that one mistake, he was soon having to claim that 21.91% of $1.6 million is $456,000. Anybody else would have admitted they made a mistake and agreed that to make $456,000 on 24 October they'd have needed 9,737 Tesla shares and $260.48 x 9,737 = $2,536,929.76. But not poor dumb jimmy, because poor dumb jimmy had already posted a photo that he thought proved he'd made $456,000 and had a holding of $1.6 million in Tesla shares. Sadly for poor dumb jimmy, all his latest most precious photo has done is to prove to the world that he's too dumb to divide 16 by 4! LOL! Has there ever been a poster at PF dumber than poor dumb jimmy? Hoot!

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [747]

The problem here is that poor dumb jimmy is too dumb to understand the difference between holding of shares in one company and "total account value".
To make $456,000 on 24 October a person would have needed to own 9,737 Tesla shares, as the share price went up by $46.83 (from $213.60 to $260.48) and $456,000 divided by $46.83 is approximately 9,737. At the 24 October 2024 closing price 9,737 shares would be $260.48 x 9,737 = $2,536,929.76. Very simple maths. Well, clearly not simple for poor dumb jimmy, as he claims shares worth $1.6 million would have returned $456,000.

But because poor dumb jimmy is so dumb, he can't understand that what Fidelity call the "total account value" is assets less liabilities (e.g. outstanding debit balances and amounts required to cover short options positions), not only the assets held. In this case, the man who sent poor dumb jimmy failed to mention the liabilities, and because poor dumb jimmy is too dumb to divide $456,000 by $46.83 and then multiply the result by $260.48, he believed that the $1.6 million was the holding in Tesla. Anybody else can just divide 16 by 4 and realise that there is no way in hell that 21.91% of $1.6 million is $456,000. But not poor dumb jimmy. LOL! What a f*cking moron! How dumb can poor dumb jimmy be?!

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [747]

Fidelity? Can poor dumb jimmy quote Fidelity saying that 21.91% of 1.6 million is 456,000? Nope.
Can poor dumb jimmy quote Fidelity saying that Tesla shares didn't go up by $46.88 between close 23 October and close 24 October? Nope.
Can poor dumb jimmy quote Fidelity saying that $46.88 * 6,143 = $456,000? Nope.
Can poor dumb jimmy quote Fidelity saying that the number of Tesla shares worth about $1.6 million on at close on October 24 wasn't 6,143? Nope.

Can poor dumb jimmy do anything other than seethe about being so clearly shown to be liar who is too dumb to even see that 16 / 4 = 4? Well, in theory poor dumb jimmy could just shut up and hope he stops being ridiculed for being so dumb (and so poor), but of course poor dumb jimmy is too dumb to even know when he's beaten and it's time to shut up! LOL! Hoot!

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [747]

Hahaha, it's 7.30 a.m. in Michigan and poor dumb jimmy is already spitting with fury! LOL!

Is he ever going to face up to the fact that everyone knows that going up from 213.6 to 260.48 is an increase of 21.91% and that 21.91% of 1.6 million is not 456,000? Poor dumb jimmy is too dumb to even be able to lie about owning shares! What a f*cking moron! Hoot!

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [747]

Good old poor dumb jimmy, still insisting that 2 + 2 = 5, and he's got a photo that proves it!

Everybody else can see that a stock which went from 213.60 on one day to 260.48 on the next went up by 21.91%. And we can all see that 21.91% of $1.6 million is not $456,000. But poor dumb jimmy was sent a photo that he didn't understand. And now he'll be being held up for ridicule every single day until he admits that he was lying and he didn't own $1.6 million of Tesla shares or even $1.60 of Tesla shares.

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [747]

Good to see that poor dumb jimmy is absolutely furious about being exposed as a fantasist liar. He just can't cope with the fact that 21.91% of 1.6 million is not 456,000, despite him claiming that it is. Now it's absolutely crystal clear to everybody that he doesn't have a multi-million dollar share portfolio, he's just got a leaky roof and health problems from being morbidly obese.

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [747]

Hahaha! Poor dumb jimmy is losing his mind about his latest precious photo! He so much wants it to so show that 21.91% of 1.6 million is 456,000! He was told that the photo would prove that he's a millionaire, but instead all it proves is that he can't count! LOL! What a f*cking moron!

The entire world can see that when a price goes from 213.6 to 260.48 it has gone up by 21.91% and that 21.91% of 1.6 million is not 456,000. But not poor dumb jimmy! He's got a photo that proves 21.91% of 1.6 million is 456,000! Just like that same photo proves that poor dumb jimmy is a millionaire! LOL! I think I love that photo almost as much as poor dumb jimmy did when he first saw it!

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [747]

Fidelity! Fidelity! Poor dumb jimmy has a photo which proves that 2 +2 =5!

Everyone else can see that 21.91% of 1.6 million is very simply not 456,000 but poor dumb jimmy has a photo which proves every calculator in the world is wrong!

When is poor dumb jimmy going to learn that sometimes he's sent photos of things which are very simply not what he's told they are? For example, the photo he once cherished more than all others, because he was told it was of me. But the person who told him that was lying, as he found out to his cost.

Now he's got another photo that he cherishes, but this photo also just proves how gullible poor dumb jimmy is. A person who owned Tesla shares worth about $1.6 million on at close on October 24 held 6,143 shares, because 1,600,000 / 260.48 = 6,142.5. A person who held 6,143 Tesla shares at close on 24 October made (260.48 - 213.6) * 6,143, as that's the 24 October closing price less the 23 October closing price times the number of shares $1.6 million bought.

Your calculator will tell you that 260.48 - 213.6 = 46.88 and 46.88 * 6,143 = 287,983.84. But poor dumb jimmy has a photo that he so desperately wants to show that your calculator is wrong! In the maths of poor dumb jimmy 46.88 * 6,143 = 456,000, and he's got a photo to prove it! LOL! What a f*cking moron poor dumb jimmy is!

Where did that number come from?
But the stock went up by 21.91% that day.
260.48 / 213.65 = 1.2191
And poor dumb jimmy claims he had

So, in poor dumb jimmy maths 21.91% of 1.6 million is 456,000. LOL!

When will poor dumb jimmy learn to not rely on photos he's sent?!

When is poor dumb jimmy going to show us again his photo proving that 2 + 2 = 5?! LOL!

People who are too dumb to do simple subtraction and division really should stay away from all kinds of investments. Otherwise they end up claiming that 260.48 / 213.65 =/=1.2191 and that 1,600 * 0.2191 = 456 and that they've got a photo to prove it! LOL! How retarded do you need to be to claim you have a photo that proves simple maths wrong? Poor dumb jimmy just never learns!

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [747]

You'd almost feel sorry for poor dumb jimmy, if he wasn't such a vile moron. Yet again he's been sent a photo which simply doesn't show what he's been told it shows. You'd have thought he'd have learned his lesson from the last time, when he was sent a photo that was supposed to be of me, but instead turned out to be a well-executed prank.

Anyway, while poor dumb jimmy insists that 2 + 2 = 5 and he's got a photo to provide it, everybody who finished first-grade maths can see that on 23 October 2024 Tesla stock closed at $213.65 and 24 October it closed at $260.48. finance.yahoo.com/quote/TSLA/history/?period1=1729641600&period2=1729814400
260.48 / 213.65 = 1.2191, so a price increase of 21.91%
$260.48 - $213.65 = $46.83 gain per share.
46.83 / 213.65 = 0.2191, so the increase of 21.91% is confirmed.

But poor dumb jimmy said his holding was

after claiming his gain was

So now poor dumb jimmy is left crying and insisting that 21.91% of $1.6 million really is $456,000 and he's got a photo to prove it! LOL! What a f*cking moron! He just never learns! Hoot!

Most people who are too dumb to divide 16 by 4 aren't also dumb enough to claim to be day-traders whose rate of return is better than even Warren Buffett. But PF has to put up with poor dumb jimmy and his insistence that when shares worth $1.6 million go up by 21.9% the profit is $456,000 and not the $350,400 that mathematics tells us it is.

Same way that he kept Adrian in line: the threat of a State Tribunal. Tusk's lot would love to have Nawrocki removed and they could probably find plausible grounds given
Nawrocki's past. If Kaczynski orders the PiS mob to support such an attempt, it's bye bye Rocki.


Poland clearly needs migrants. But Poland does not need foreign criminals. Anybody who has served three or more jail sentences given for felon convictions should be banned from even getting a tourist visa.
