Inderes Coffee Room (Part 11)

This was truly touching news.

Ali became familiar to me during the COVID era. He awakened in me, as an expat, a yearning for Finnish nature. He was the main reason I started a new hobby and brought a missing piece into my life, the absence of which I hadn’t even realized before.

Ali was a great role model and felt almost like a friend.

In recent years, Finnish private investors have experienced so much pain and suffering as a result of First North’s prolonged dismal performance that, based on my investor sentiment analysis, exploring and investing in various narcotics and recreational substances will be the hottest trend of 2026.

You forgot to mention that this involves physical research and investment. Not to be confused with the digital version.

My personal favorite is missing from this list.

Knife Buy = The analyst is trying to lure you into catching a falling small-cap knife that cuts all the way to the soul.

This reminded me. Back when the Magnora frenzy was at its peak, I think someone in the Coffee Room launched the term “must-buy” (pakko-osta). Free interpretation: @Pohjolan_Eka has found a hidden gem, and failing to buy it will become the biggest investment mistake of every forum member’s life.

It wasn’t a bad one, but I just realized that for my part, nothing has changed.

I’ve actually received more feedback about those hidden gems where buying them became some forum member’s biggest investment mistake for the rest of their life, but it’s good that there are examples of the opposite as well :cowboy_hat_face:

This might be better suited for the Coffee Room, but Keisari Lager is also available in 0.33l cans in 6-packs. It is widely available at least in Kesko stores: https://www.k-ruoka.fi/kauppa/tuote/keisari-lager-45-033l-tlk-6-pack-6417348171639.

This is awesome! I never expected to see the day when someone would build a retro game on top of Inderes’ analysis data. We’re onto something new here.

In my childhood, my friend Jere coded a game called The Börssi, where well-known Finnish stocks moved randomly and we spent days trading the portfolio in a DOS-style interface. Jere became a serial entrepreneur and I ended up as an analyst.

I’m still a bit in shock after my mother (highly educated and in the workforce) asked this morning if she should invest in that. At first, I thought I was on a hidden camera show. The link in question had come up in Google News. It just makes me wonder how much more common scams will become in the future when AI makes them even more believable.

:see_no_evil_monkey: Me, whenever that group appears that downplays something on the grounds that something worse exists elsewhere.

Quite productive, since there is usually always something more condemnable to be found. The best part is that at that point, the writer’s stance on the newly introduced matter isn’t usually even known.

Personally, I only eat free-range Highland cattle :innocent:

Yeah, I also wonder why people diss microwaves. For example, there’s no point in boiling potatoes, especially if you’re just making food for yourself. The easiest way to cook a couple of potatoes is to wash them and put them in the microwave as is, skin and all. You don’t even need a dish. (edit: Forgot to mention that you should, of course, poke holes in the skin with a fork if you don’t want them to pop.)

Similarly, if you haven’t cooked rice in the microwave, you’ve always been doing it wrong. It’s the easiest, fastest, most consistent, and it doesn’t burn.

They fart a hell of a lot and ruin the climate

If cows are fed algae, methane emissions are significantly reduced, and thus the environmental impact of livestock remains significantly lower.

Apparently, this has many other benefits as well, extending even to omega-3 levels, etc.

I have read about this in many reputable journals, and here is a link to a review article of some kind on the subject: Improving Meat Quality, Safety and Sustainability in Monogastric Livestock with Algae Feed Additives - PMC

No worries. The Bovaer feed additive has been invented as a solution for this to reduce methane emissions.

Cows now fart less, but apparently a small side effect has been the animals getting sick and feeling unwell. Additionally, there has been speculation that the additive might also affect milk quality.

Animal welfare is apparently more important to Valio than reducing methane emissions, so Valio decided to suspend the use of the feed additive it was using in secret.

https://www.atria.fi/vastuullista-ruokaa/boaver/

However, in February 2026, Valio has decided to suspend the use of the Bovaer® additive. This means that in the future, cattle coming to Atria will also no longer be fed with feed containing the Bovaer® additive.

I don’t know if the issues are caused by Bovaer and the deterioration of milk quality or the addition of vegetable oils to products, but based on the clickbait headlines, Valio has been having serious challenges with product quality.

You’d think all those Helsinki investors could afford better. In the future, get Wagyu A5 beef from Japan. The price per kilo is only €200/KG, but that’s a small price to pay when you consider that the methane emissions stay in Japan and, according to rumors, animal welfare is ensured by playing classical music, haiku poems, and massages.

Tivi headline: “Prosecutor seeks startup couple” :thinking:

“You probably put dirty and clean dishes in the dishwasher together”

“Are you accusing me of mixed dishing?”

“I’m just about to start up the prosecution” :+1:

Why have I started to feel like destroying shareholder value is somehow a national sport for us Finns, alongside boot throwing and wife carrying?
Maybe there’s a topic for a 15-minute segment here? :joy:

It’s no use blaming the startup couple. Instead of the participants of the ‘Married at First Sight’ show, they should be chasing the producer and the show’s commissioner.
