Nope.

6 choices Ptak. Hurry up though - it's almost two months now we are waiting

This is the markets thread. EU and US tariffs are both bad for the market.

We are still waiting for your picks Ptak.

6 stocks.

Outperform my choices and you will earn the right to call me names

For those outside the US, note that the budget bill passed a few days ago includes some serious extra taxes on foreign shareholders of US assets, up to 5 percent increases each year for 4 years.

It's a weird policy since Golden Cow wants to encourage inward investment to the US, but I am a bit skeptical that he read the 1000 pages of the bill

Milo the idea of this thread is to leave Novi to it. This is an excellent invention.

News / Presidential elections 2025 - the race has commenced!!! [665]

Was once stopped in the Sobieski bringing a legit girl to my room - a friends with benefits situation. The security guard on our floor, demanded her ID and presume wanted to make a few zeds out of it. Instead, I submitted a vigorous complaint the next day and got a decent upgrade next visit.

Yes, I agree that it is common practice or rather was because that kind of thing stopped in about 2005 when the profession went online

The "detailed background check" meaning will they turn a blind eye to PiS grifting ?

It would only be a few hundred zloty per year tax.

However, there are quite heavy restrictions on buying farmland or rural plots over one hectare. You need to Google that - there are plenty of property websites, which will explain the restrictions.

It's 2025 - some public figures will have tattoos. I used to have a problem with it but I don't any more

Rest is correct though - this guy is completely unprepared for senior office. Trzaskowski has to get his vote out next week

Happiest I think I was just after university - not in debt not much money but enough to go to concerts and watch football, casual girlfriend who was fun, plenty of time for hobbies and exercise

Off-Topic / What is a woman? [343]

It's up for debate - of course the easiest way would be for you to check out some videos of women and decide "hot or not" and then afterwards see which were actually trans

Off-Topic / What is a woman? [343]

It is great that you finally have a trans thread and here we can post about all kinds of so called trans women - muscular Brazilians, lithe orientals, tall negresses with bulging packets

Should keep you busy for a while

I'm a complete ignoramus on Gin. Google led me to Tanqueray for cocktails and I like the taste. Wife used to live a G&T but less so since kids arrived, she is normally using Bombay Sapphire

I am guessing you are too old for that Milo ?

Off-Topic / Pop A Cork - Wine [396]

for French Auchan is definitely better but Lidl, Aldi and Biedronka all plenty of value under 30 zloty and a few decent bottled in 30-40

I would advise against trying Rossmann for wine ! They are great at what they do, but wine isn't one of those

Sunday was just about warm enough to grill kaszanka and had it with a Bordeaux, Chateau Laussac, think I picked it up in France. Good accompaniment and also decent with a coffee and some cigarettes

Off-Topic / Pop A Cork - Wine [396]

Still got asparagus and starting the weekend with Sauvignon Blanc NZ called Tomtit. 54 zloty from Mine Wine. A bit bland really but going well woth some french cheese from Lidl and some great Polish goats cheese from an organic shop in the mall.

So no stock tips then ?

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [589]

Time for a one month check on my stock tips and they are doing well

Bank Pekao +13%
Nike +11%
Swatch + 10%
Essilor +2%
Apple +0.5%
Kraft -2%

Overall a gain of 6% if you are measuring in local currency or 8% if measuring in crappy USD which has declined strongly v Swiss and zloty.

Market growth 2.6% - so I have comfortably beaten that.

Bobko's tips will take off if the oil price recovers but it's been a slow start

Gazprom +2%
Surgutneftgaz 0.5%. I will take a look at that when the war finishes

Ptak still didn't submit any picks. Not sure why us he is a man who can confidently put down 200,000 bucks at a time to take advantage of market fluctuations.

Off-Topic / Pop A Cork - Wine [396]

Asparagus season now and we are having a fine crop. Silvaner is the classic combination but I have been disorganized with my shopping so have paired it with 14.99 Aveleda Vinho Verde, from Biedra. Just 9.5 percent but went really well together

You could ban rap music and basketball and have all the black plumbers you want

Stay off the sports thread. And the market thread. Random is the place for you

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [589]

Well done for trashing another thread

Ptak still hasn't posted any selections but mocks me despite his useless inputs

It still seems impossible to find an American who understands tariffs, VAT or inflation

And all comments from Novi come with those MAGA trademarks - victimhood, resentment, insults and bad manners

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [589]

But this is a contest that started 2 days ago, not in January

April 9th is when I made my selections in post 286. Also the same day you claim to have thrown 200k bucks on the table

So i am still waiting for your selections - and something tells me it will be a long wait for something simple, 6 stocks from any index

Even dear Bobko is beating you - Gazprom up half a percent this morning

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [589]

I already responded to that

No account statement posted online

Unlike Folding Cow, I mean what I write

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [589]

They are in post 286, same place they have been for 2 days waiting for Ptak's reponse.

This is a man who must have put down 400.000 bucks to make the 20.000 profit he claims. Obviously he is another member of the PF millionaires club though I am slightly skeptical

Been a good day for my 3 European selections - Bank Pekao 9 % up. swatch and Essilor both 4% up. But the market will be nervous until Golden Cow's next climbdown on China. Anyway these 6 are all doing well for the time being so will look again in May - which gives Ptak, mister half million trade, a chance to list his selections .

Thanks for the tips Bobko, as you can guess I am not very bullish about the MOEX, not least because impossible to move money in or out. But maybe in the future there will be a day when it's safe to invest there.

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [589]

But I told you my selections

Now I am waiting for yours - post your selections here and stop the ranting because nobody wants to read about Somalis on this thread.

Should be simple for you - 6 stocks, from any stock market, even Mogadishu if you want

Not much point you posting about bravery and ignorance without a few quick suggestions.
