I’m a bit scared for all virtual currencies and those who have invested in them. For the “likers,” isn’t it good that the worry weighs here too? A shared worry is always better than a solitary one.

One can only admire someone with such strong empathy. I must admit, I’m not scared at all for those who have invested in virtual currencies.

It might be time to open a dedicated discussion for GLND - Greenland Energy!
Comparison to Oroco…
In Oroco’s case, a well-known Polish investor influencer helped bring visibility to the company within a specific investor community. However, the impact was fairly limited: it mainly reached mining and junior investors who were already following the sector.
In GLND’s case, Dr. Phil could be a phenomenon of a completely different scale, if the execution is successful.
I would compare them like this:
| Oroco | GLND |
|---|---|
| One well-known investor influencer | Nationally recognized media personality |
| Mainly junior mining audience | Much broader audience |
| Social media and YouTube | TV, FAST channels, podcasts, social media |
| Thousands to tens of thousands of followers | Potential reach of millions of people |
According to Envoy, the series is intended to be distributed through multiple television, streaming, and digital channels, and the company has emphasized an extremely wide reach. Additionally, short videos and other content are planned for release on social media before the actual series airs.
I think this is also an important difference:
-
Oroco was primarily a copper story for investors.
-
GLND can be presented to the general public as an adventure: the Arctic environment, massive logistics, “modern wildcatters,” geopolitics, and energy security. This kind of story is much easier to productize for television than a standard mineral exploration project.
Still, one caveat is in order.
Media attention alone is not enough to sustain a stock price for long. If concrete news arrives at the same time, such as:
-
successful mobilization,
-
arrival of equipment,
-
progress on drilling permits,
-
start of drilling on schedule,
then Dr. Phil’s visibility can amplify the market reaction significantly more than any of these news items alone. On the other hand, if operational goals are delayed, media exposure will not compensate for it.
I find it possible that the market is underestimating exactly this combination: operational catalysts + a national media series. If both progress as planned, the impact could be greater than what many are comparing it to based solely on Oroco-era social media and investor influencers. However, it is not a certainty; it depends on how well the company succeeds in executing the project and how much interest the series actually generates among investors.

SalkunRakentaja has written about salt 
In China, sodium is already in production. CATL has begun mass manufacturing its Naxtra batteries, promising an energy density of 175 watt-hours per kilogram and maintaining over 90 percent capacity even at 40 degrees below zero. Together with Changan, the company launched the world’s first mass-produced car with a sodium battery, and BYD introduced a mass-produced sodium-powered forklift in January 2026. In the West, no automaker has committed to sodium to a comparable extent.
Ford Motor has chosen a different path. The company established the Ford Energy unit for large-scale lithium-based energy storage instead of pursuing sodium. Nevertheless, the U.S. perspective on energy security is concrete, as an estimated 99 percent of LFP cathodes and practically all finished LFP cells come from a single country. Sodium offers a way out of exactly this dependency.
Subheadings:
- Sodium is already in production in China, while only on pilot lines in the West
- Conditions for a breakthrough will be decided by costs and production
- Conditions for a breakthrough will be decided by costs and production

Thanks again @Iikka_Numminen for highlighting these familiar and lesser-known companies so well. Special thanks for your videos; keep them coming whenever you have time. You produce high-quality and level-headed content. 
Thanks to Thiebault as well

Well, looks like a new feature has hit the market; apparently, you can trade through the night now.
@viljo can probably guess the company. I fell into the trap again myself and bought at 2 USD and some cents.

The new regulatory model for pension insurance companies enters into force in stages today, July 1, 2026. The main objective of the reform is to enable the investment of pension assets with a higher risk profile than before, which improves long-term investment returns and strengthens the financial sustainability of the pension system. Understandably, companies do not disclose their moves in advance. However, one could speculate slightly on the effects of the change on our domestic stock exchange. Personally, I believe the impact on individual stocks will be minor. At the index level, there could still be significance, and it might otherwise bolster confidence in the Hex (Helsinki Stock Exchange).

Sounds smart. I have also “learned” that I shouldn’t be trading, yet here I was trying it anyway. Since it went south, let’s hope this was the last time! 
I’ll add that I’ve also completely failed to track what Tieto’s core business actually consists of. You see, I once believed specifically that Tieto’s on-prem datacenter business would provide a point of differentiation from the so-called dynamic players, especially now when there is an incentive to be less dependent on US/cloud providers.
But nowadays, Tieto is specifically trying to compete with software alone—which in my view won’t lead anywhere, and it’s best to let go of my own shares as well if this trade breaks even (and we’ll definitely let go if it doesn’t)

Tieto didn’t get that “memo”. 
I’m personally mulling over whether I should try to “buy the dip” one more time. 
In principle, I’d like to get rid of this pile of crap entirely, but I don’t really want to sell at a loss, especially since they are mostly in an equity savings account (OST).
But isn’t it a proven method to lower your average price during a dip and hope the share price recovers back to higher levels?

The same happened to me. I thought Tieto would tap into completely new demand, as EU operators are starting to have incentives to move from American hyperscalers to European alternatives. This slide made me wonder specifically whether the market doesn’t understand this change in the supply-demand situation, or if there are other internal problems within Tieto. Since I’ve burned my own money watching slides before, I decided for once to step aside and get a feel for what’s going on. Watching a slide for months on end is a familiar activity, and it’s incredibly draining.

Taavetti has long been pondering a suitable business idea and searching for partners to embark on that journey with.
Now, fortunately, it was found on this forum, an absolute micro-scaler of its kind: a plastic bag for plastic bags. On top of everything, it is easy to vary for different needs. These ideas also came from here: a plastic bag for carrying plastic bags for public appearances, a plastic bag for storing plastic bags with value appreciation in mind, and a plastic bag for storing plastic bags needed for K-Market visits. Corresponding solutions also for S-Group and Lidl users.
Since the idea is so brilliant, there is probably already a queue of wealthy investors here expressing their willingness to invest in this scheme via private messages. Even though IQM is very exciting in terms of its valuation, perhaps a billion or two is a bit much for this idea. But certainly a hundred or two hundred million, without a doubt.
For slow individuals considering investing, be informed that you will simply be kicked out of the queue cold-bloodedly even on a day as warm as this! Act within the next two minutes or never! It pays to be quick with potential customers: the best hand-stitched special batches are available only for a limited time, reserve yours now.

I bet that in the near future, there will come a time when the inaccuracy of the state’s economic figures becomes a topic of discussion on A-studio. There, I’m sure, participants who have everyone’s trust will discuss the subject.
In my opinion, it’s better to do the same as everyone else.

For me at least, I’m happy to pay that €5.90, or whatever it is, to save 20-25 minutes on a grocery run; it leaves more of my limited free time and when I go to the store with the missus, it takes double that, so closer to an hour trip

The average Finn is so obese and in such poor shape that it would be worth doing grocery runs @Shinjuku-mies style. It builds up a nice amount of daily activity and puts less wear on the sofa.
I think Shinjuku will be laughing at 90 years old while walking to the store, while the rest of us sit in some robot-run nursing home with pissed pants in our walkers.

Almost four years of this game under my belt. I just realized what a poor stock picker I am. Not that I’m surprised, really. The state of my tiny portfolio:
Stock picks: -1.25%
Indices: +19.12%
But indices are just so boring. I want to prove myself and succeed. It’s tough.

You are trailing the index by a bit over the short term.
