Sorry, I have to nitpick that slight generalization regarding the costs. You’re likely referring to Type 1 diabetes? As I understand it, the more common form of diabetes is Type 2, and the treatment is mostly tablets, making the costs “max a hundred a month,” not €1,300 or so. But it’s good, of course, that treatment is also available for that more serious Type 1 form.
Too simple a bureaucracy to work in Finland

The Apple company announced second-generation AirTags. I already have the first generation in use here and there, but the newer ones have a better range, so I had to order a bunch of them too. What are some of the more unusual use cases you forum members have used AirTags (or similar) for? Maybe I’ll get some new ideas on where to stick them.

Today I’ve bought a thousand’s worth of AMPG (Amplitech Group Inc.); I found this one yesterday, and there’s a neat, fully justified 15% drop today. This week or early next week, it’s highly likely to hit the $5-6 range. $5 is enough for me, and that would be a +38% trade 
I’m also thinking that at least LAC, MP, and INTC will be part of the US war economy holdings in the future, so they could be good options for a long-term portfolio since the US will own at least a 10% stake in these companies going forward, and the government rarely throws a wrench in its own works in the US. Correct me if I’m wrong

Moving, that event that happens a few times in a person’s life. It’s easy—hire a moving company to handle it. True, of course. But why pay when you can do it yourself with a bit of common sense?
I moved with my wife over the weekend. I don’t know if these will be of use to anyone, but that won’t stop me from sharing some tips.
- Reserve time. Once the new place is secured, start the practical planning immediately. The closer to moving day you leave the packing etc., the more likely you are to succumb to stress.
- I took an hour or two for packing every day after work. That’s how it gradually got finished.
- Stock up on packing materials. There are almost always too few boxes. Estimating the amount of stuff seems to go wrong systematically. Stackable plastic crates work until you greedily stuff them too full. Put a piece of packing tape on the side of the box, with the contents/destination written in black marker. When you remember to mention the label to the moving crew, the items might conveniently end up in the right room.
- In transport, prioritize space. A big truck costs money, but so does shuttling back and forth in a van—and that’s what really wears on your nerves. Modern people have an endless amount of small bundles and knick-knacks.
- Allow plenty of time on moving day. Courtyards are difficult to navigate, partly due to snow and largely due to changing attitudes. People leave their cars wherever they feel like, and schedules easily fall apart. In our move, there was a car in the disabled spot at the front of the building, which prevented us from getting the truck to the door. Good luck trying to find the owner. after a while, a young disabled person hopped agilely into their car, looking sheepish, and we finally got things moving.
- It pays to brief the movers. Who does what. How many are needed. Ask them to bring good footwear, etc. Otherwise, there’s a risk of people tripping over each other.
- Get someone experienced to load the truck. Proper placement, bracing, and ensuring things stay in place will pay off at the destination.
- At the receiving end, the future resident should guide where everything goes. It saves many extra steps.
- There are plenty of uncertainties/variables. I confirmed the day before that everyone was still able to make it/remembered to show up.
- Everything went great; nothing broke. Remember to thank the helpers!
Just some practical tips this time. And that wasn’t nearly all of it. Please, feel free to add more. Stress-free moving to everyone!

Admirable responsiveness from Inderes’ analysts.
Sampo creeps upward throughout 2025. Too expensive, not worth buying.
Sampo drops dramatically in January to near November prices.
Sauli acts quickly. When can we expect such a rapid about-face from other analysts when the situation so requires?

An additional comment on this: so-called box vans are far superior for moving compared to regular vans. The square space is easy to pack, and they can hold quite a lot of stuff.

This is the zeitgeist. While the masses read (look at) memes, the successful ones read tips from forum members like @CitizenJ. At least that’s what I think or hope I’m doing. Thanks to all the valuable contributors

Put some masking tape on every box and bag, for example, and mark where it’s going, like master-br, upstairs-br, kitchen, garage, etc… the items will go straight to the right place…

You forgot the moving crew’s pizzas, saunas, and beers 
A hand truck is also an absolute must. Not as useful in a detached house, of course, but when moving from one apartment building to another, it’s unbeatable. And those red stackable crates from Niemi—get plenty of them. Twice as many as you think you’ll need.
One person stacks four-crate towers in the hallway of the old place, while one or two others move them to the elevator and from the elevator to the back of the truck.
It’s so damn fast and easy compared to those endless bags and collapsing cardboard boxes.

According to a professional mover, in surprisingly many places when the movers arrive, the lady of the house is sitting on the floor in despair because the packing is still far from finished, they’ve run out of boxes, and there is twice as much stuff as expected. Then, expensive men stand around idly and the bill keeps growing. So, that is a critical point: everything should be packed by the time the moving/carrying crew arrives.

When I was younger, I worked as a mover. The absolute worst jobs were exactly the ones where the residents and their friends came to “help.” Everything took twice as long.
Just hire a moving company. They are professionals and do the same job twice as fast. Everyone wins. Moving is stressful enough for the resident as it is.
And those moving boxes from Niemi or similar companies make things so, so much easier and faster compared to plastic bags and banana boxes. And those boxes should be right there by the door waiting for the movers, as they always go into the truck first.
