True, but could that slogan be modernized: NO CIA → NO ICE?

Ha! I never even assumed that communion wine contained alcohol. It certainly didn’t taste like it. This explains my recent slightly tipsy singing of “Sweet Summer is Coming” in the churchyard. This is where the real pros will stop going to church for good.

Good question, and although the situation is unfortunate from the tenant’s perspective, the landlord’s reaction is understandable. It is clear that Heka is not disclosing everything (because they are not allowed to), and there are likely other factors behind their decision. Therefore, one must also view the tenant’s account critically, as it’s unlikely they are disclosing every detail affecting the overall situation either. Delays in rent payments and creating some sort of graffiti wall in the hallway are not factors that support continuing a tenancy. From the landlord’s perspective, there is a risk that this kind of self-styled “renovation” would continue in the future.
I don’t understand what made the tenant think that Heka would offer an indefinite lease agreement after the contract had already been changed to fixed-term due to payment delays—and even during this first fixed-term period, payment delays occurred, leading to a second fixed-term agreement on the same grounds. Those rent payment delays alone would be grounds to terminate the lease in any case. This prevailing mindset is strange—the idea that one can handle their affairs half-heartedly at someone else’s expense while simultaneously failing to take responsibility for their own obligations. I suppose this is what modern times are: me, me, and me, and my rights.

You run into this everywhere these days. When you haven’t been taught right from wrong at home, this is the result. Denying everything, playing the victim, and ultimately blaming others is how even the United States of America is being led nowadays. O tempora, o mores!

I wonder if Trump could come and take over Finland too, so we could get these peace terms 
Additionally, the United States guarantees Iran at least 300 billion dollars for Iran’s reconstruction and economic development.
The United States has promised to lift all sanctions against Iran.
Too bad there aren’t really many sanctions against us, but I’m sure we could reach some kind of agreement deal on this point as well.

What is the deal with these growth figures from a long period (a couple of years) being revised backwards so aggressively?
Hopefully, some of the figures are actually accurate.
It feels to me like a new study has been commissioned from somewhere, which—much like previously in other very scientific matters—can conduct its own research and publish its results credibly without any criticism, regardless of how much they deviate from previous major research findings.
And everyone seems to just accept it.

This is exactly what investing is like; there is no such thing as a completely certain bet.

Damn, I just managed to sell the house and pack my things. Even my spouse found a better father for the baby.
But I trust Musk and assume we can move to Mars right after Midsummer. I can sleep in the terminal for a couple of days. Or in a field, since that’s probably where the rocket takes off from anyway.
Surely SpaceX should be worth at least 3x more than the rest of the world’s companies combined, to the power of seven.

(Laughter!). It brings to mind Arto Paasilinna’s hilarious book, at the end of which Adam is in a spaceship and utters: dark is the night, the fellow eats his last loaf of bread.
Have a good trip, comrade!

No need to worry about this. The Falcon rocket has begun its descent back to Earth, and will soon be heading off again towards infinity and beyond!

“Growth is real,” but does the coffee room have an opinion on which companies on the local stock exchange this would affect most and fastest? For example, could some companies still be expected to issue positive profit warnings (posareita)?

Let’s post this in the coffee room as well 
Henri Blomster joined us as a guest, and in the video, we discussed Asilo Argo fund’s strategy—specifically “winner-takes-all” companies. An interesting discussion on the promises of high-valuation stocks.
The conversation goes through Hendrik Bessembinder’s famous study, which showed that only a small fraction of stocks have generated an overwhelming share of the entire market’s value appreciation throughout history. This is something we “Hesuli” (Helsinki Stock Exchange) investors can only marvel at
