@Tomi_Valkeajarvi already published an article yesterday on the results of the community survey. Today, I personally went through all the given answers, especially the comments concerning the development of the analysis. From this, I received several useful tips and focus areas for my own work in the future. And possibly ideas for other content outside the actual analysis. So, many thanks to everyone who responded! Feedback is read and utilized. Hopefully, you will continue to respond actively in future surveys as well. Have a nice weekend!

I haven’t read the legendary Security Analysis book in certainly 10 years. A 700+ page work isn’t something you get through in a day, but I absolutely recommend it to everyone. I didn’t remember that Graham himself lost 70% of his money between 1929-1932, during the Great Depression.

Thanks @JHeiskanen for the very interesting and high-quality LapWall article, excellent stuff. 
This company started to interest me a little.

@JHeiskanen the weighting has now been measured, 1.59 percentage points.
So OMXHPI -0.1% and LapWall +1.49%
The market is always right!

Yes, there could be much more price fluctuation in market electricity than currently if data centers consume all nuclear-generated electricity with their steady consumption.

That was an excellent review of Lapwall, thank you
Fodelia, which was visited on the same trip, would be first on my wish list.

“Why is consumer confidence at such a low level”
The worst employment market in recent history, which also hits those with higher education exceptionally hard:
Purchasing power has not budged, and there are only small or large tax increases with dwindling services:
Raise wages by +20% and get people jobs, then we’ll look

A large number of schools are being closed. Are there just no children? Will more be born by offering money?
Why isn’t the real reason stated. Culture has changed. Those of fertile age do not long for noisy, smelly, attention-demanding packages to take care of, which later only cause trouble. Rather, money is put into cosmetics, entertainment services, travel, changing partners.
It is ensured that society will take care of us in old age, that’s why those taxes are paid now. Or whatever, something will surely be figured out.
From my own experience, however, one can say that despite the troubles, it would be empty without children and siblings.
Changes in thinking are needed, not money. Or a little of that too. However, the shortage is mostly of parents; when there are parents, children come naturally. There are already too many party-goers in Malta.
Welcome immigrants, our future elderly need you.

In a consumer society, growth arises from consumers’ desires. It’s difficult to achieve profit growth without serving these desires, and in their abundance, acquiring a child, and above all raising and caring for one, is not the object of the greatest cravings. Currently, there is an administration in power that offers a strong Lutheran ethos, but for some reason, this simply doesn’t stick with people, no matter how much it’s hammered into their heads and saved.
If we interpret history crudely, children were once also a personal commodity. Now they are more of a commodity for everyone, and the negative effects of this commodity are emphasized the closer one gets to oneself and one’s own economic contribution.
This doesn’t belong in the coffee room, but not having more than two children is in no way due to an individual’s stupidity, laziness, or selfishness. By lamenting it, one bonds with fellow sufferers, virtue-signals, and praises one’s own parenthood. But it is a big structural issue, and rolling it out as self-centered victim stories on social media is just part of a way to turn emotions and values into fleeting commodities that can be picked according to the situation and shared into the cancerous ether of social media to feel alive. 
That in itself is the same self-centeredness for which childlessness is blamed.
Edit. To clarify, @kabu is at the heart of the matter, that even if the average is calculated, zero is the starting point and everything begins from there.

That’s how it should really go. If prices have risen by 20 percent in the last few years, 5 percent wage increases over the next two years won’t do much good.

Sounds like Mr. P1 has forgotten to “click”.
There is, after all, an easier way to get money for everyday expenses and home purchases than working! You just have to “click” a little in online banking, and the money comes.
I’ve tried it, it’s quite easy.
No wonder one of my friends has reduced working to a minimum. Now he “clicks” and earns significantly more than those colleagues who are still toiling full-time.
I don’t want to boast, but I’m a “clicker” myself. Salary raises (or lack thereof) don’t bother me much.

I would certainly welcome a 20% pay raise for all employees of the company, and that joy would probably last a few months, until the company either ran out of cash or customers due to increased prices. So I am an employee myself, and I don’t own a share in the company. This is certainly not a joy when considering my own purchasing power now vs 2021, but I’d rather keep that nominally slightly increased - even if its purchasing power has decreased - paycheck than be without it.
If it really starts to annoy me, I can always become an entrepreneur.

Finland’s problem seems to be that the difference between the employer’s labor cost and the net salary is so massive.
Both companies and employees suffer from high taxation and an expensive pension system.
