Yep, the price fluctuates quite a bit, and I actually had to Google to see if it’s true that Wednesdays are usually the most expensive. And it turns out it is, as shown in this article from a couple of years ago:

I’ve got a cent swinging in my pants, but boy, here in Central Finland and Savo, gas prices swing by dozens of cents. I just filled up the day before yesterday while driving to work at €1.56/l. Yesterday the price was 1.81 and today it’s 1.67. And several nearby stations are following the same pattern.
Anyway, I’d still like an answer to my original question if anyone knows. Just out of interest, really.

I was driving to work on Tuesday and the diesel price at the Ruoholahti Neste was 1.57e/l in the morning, and when I returned a few hours later, the price was 1.91e/l. That’s a 34-cent difference right there.

I’ve suggested to a few colleagues that we should bring canisters to work and earn a bit on the side by becoming physical fuel traders. Fill the canisters in the morning on the way to work, then sell at midday for a cent below the pump price in the lunch restaurant or the office lobby.

Looks like we have another ten-bagger in Helsinki again 
as Sotkamo Silver is now also a ten-bagger from its December 2022 lows.
The stock plummeted over 90% from its peaks, but driven by the hot silver market, investors have massive returns in their pockets.

Why stop halfway. Buy heating oil in canisters even cheaper. It’s the same as diesel and you’ll get better returns. The customer won’t notice the difference and the car runs just like before. Profit. 
ps. As a bonus, if the customer gets caught and has to explain their actions, imagine the investigator’s face when they say, “A trader sold it in the Ruoholahti lobby. He deals stocks for his day job and does technical analysis. He was wearing a suit and tie. Seemed like a reliable guy.” Certainly a believable explanation.

For a moment there, I thought we were in the Kesko thread, seeing as we’ve reached such depths in the company’s fundamentals.
Warning: that was sarcasm — though not aimed at the poster — but at the Kesko thread.

I’m not quite sure where or in which thread to ask, and I couldn’t find a similar thread using the search, so is there a thread for general discussion about (the best) shareholder perks at annual general meetings?

Wrong business area IMO. Make reception centers Inderes’s fourth business segment, and both earnings and the share price will double within 3 months 
Of course, if this was just a side hustle on a personal level, then why not.

Is anyone else bothered by the fact that a surprisingly large share of the forum’s content is basically AI-generated material that the posters themselves haven’t even fact-checked?
The internet is already so full of this AI garbage that I’ve started paying for the Kagi search engine, as it seems to be the only one that can filter the AI slop out of search results. Then you open a forum to read human discussions on topics you’re interested in, only to find the conversation has been reduced to an exchange between ChatGPT and Claude.
Another pet peeve of mine is users who post a paywalled news article or a 90-minute YouTube video without providing more than a single sentence of context. On many forums, this kind of behavior is strictly forbidden because it serves no real purpose other than boosting post counts.

This is a growing problem just about everywhere, but I don’t feel that AI-generated junk content is a significant nuisance on this forum yet.

Beautiful buy, respect! 
In my own portfolio, I have exactly those 666 shares and an average price of 10.02.

You can really tell that AI is a new thing. Its summaries are being posted with the same reverence as the first Google search results and Wikipedia articles were 15 years ago. Completely without any independent processing or cross-checking of multiple sources. I’m sure this situation will improve once primary schools replace the phrase “don’t just take information from the first link Google gives you” with the phrase “don’t believe everything AI churns out.”

Good point. This is genuinely annoying. Especially those long YouTube videos, which might actually be relevant, but there is pretty much zero chance I’ll watch such a thing if the writer is simply too lazy to summarize even a couple of sentences of the content. I personally (halo on 
) always try to include a short summary of the video and hope that everyone else would do the same as well.

There are all sorts of people on the forum, but generally, we want interesting stories and videos related to the thread to be posted there, as they are relevant to the topic and allow all participants quick access to interesting content. Quality publications often have paywalls, and while it’s certainly unfortunate that not everyone is tech-savvy enough to bypass them automatically, copyright laws prevent direct quoting of the content on the forum. A lack of technical skill can be compensated for by paying; after all, online articles by top journalists aren’t so expensive that an investor generating outsized returns on the forum couldn’t afford a monthly subscription 
When it comes to long videos, you also need to use some judgment regarding who is linking them, because depending on the username, you can trust the video to be either pure diamond or absolute trash. You can’t summarize an hour-long video in just a few sentences anyway, and it’s not even worth trying. X-spam is definitely annoying at times when you see a new post in a thread and, instead of juicy news or other quality content, you’re met with a copy-pasted message from some financial conspiracy theorist.

@Isa_Hudd has written a great, thought-provoking post that particularly resonates with me – maybe I should apply my approach to training to investing as well. 
Since all my clothes have, for some inexplicable reason, shrunk, it’s time to take action. But how? Weight loss doesn’t happen on its own, but then again, neither does anything else. Especially saving, which I do constantly. Come to think of it, there are countless similarities between training and the stock market. My hypothesis: if you know how to train, you also know how to invest, and vice versa.

As a team-building project, one could also develop groundbreaking energy technology for those vehicles that have to swarm gas stations. It would boost team spirit and add much-needed optimism and industriousness to Finland in general.

Finally found an app that interests me too.
An app has exploded in popularity in China with a name that sounds downright bleak.
The app’s name in Chinese is Sileme. In English, it means “are you dead”.
The app is intended as a safety tool, especially for those living alone, and its operating principle is simple. The user must press a button in the app daily to confirm that they are still alive.

Here is a suitable thread, here you go (it does, however, cover annual general meetings from a slightly broader perspective than just shareholder perks):
The opening of this thread sparks discussion on the following topics, among others:
Which company’s annual general meetings are the best?
Where are the best refreshments?
What is your most memorable annual general meeting experience?

I have to admit, I skip almost all AI content myself.
We’ve all probably encountered the same phenomenon where AI is like the Midas touch, turning even trash into gold. It’s a bit like during the financial crisis when complete crap was packaged into high-quality AAA-rated investment instruments. The idea is that when you feed something to an AI, the response must be the gospel truth because it comes from an AI, and humans shouldn’t question it. This doesn’t happen here on this forum, but I’ve certainly run into it in the outside world.
I’ve personally tested the reliability of AI by asking it questions related to my own area of expertise and my day job. Often, even with simpler and more layman-friendly questions, it provides completely wrong answers or uses incorrect information as a source. So how can the AI provide correct answers when you ask it something about which you know nothing yourself? It’s easy to fall for this illusion.
