An interesting tweet from OP’s Olavi, I think there was some discussion about this elsewhere here on the Forum at some point… 
It was really annoying again when the yard got completely buried in snow and I was out there shoveling since early morning, dripping with sweat, just so I could go pick up my daughter from town because she needed the other car. I would have picked up Colonel Sandels (eversti Sandels) and a few of his friends to ease the pain, but since the law doesn’t allow for that before nine, it’s a prime example of a useless restriction; I had to settle for water.

Fellow member @Johannes_Sippola has written an excellent piece for Viisasraha. 
The article is not behind a paywall.
January is known to be a strong month in the stock market, and for example, in Finland, I like to explain it in layman’s terms: especially in small-cap companies, private investors have an incentive to engage in so-called tax-loss selling in loss-making positions, which leads to temporary selling pressure that is no longer present in January. This then tends to lead to a rise in January, especially among the “tax-sold” stocks that declined the most during the previous year.

In Finland, the pay for the same work is a quarter of that.

Damn, Verneri pulled an ace out of his sleeve and brought out the Christmas decorations on Nov 23rd.

How have you planned to install the razor wire around your own property? It’s surprisingly heavy to handle.

On this forum, the topic of net payers comes up regularly. People and the work they do are valued based on the size of their salary and who their employer is. This discussion is a bit too simplistic, so I’ll offer an example in the form of a small brain-teaser.
In Finland, there is one line of business that is growing strongly. Company turnover is increasing, and thus the taxes paid by these companies likely rise year after year. The salaries of the people working in these companies come from the private sector, which is surely seen here mostly as better than working in the public sector.
The total turnover for the entire industry in Finland in 2022 was about 50 million. The costs caused by this activity to the Finnish healthcare system are estimated to be around 270 million euros. So, industry turnover is 50 million, but costs to healthcare are 270 million. I wonder who the net payer is here? It’s about electric scooters.

One should also calculate whether this reduces other accidents, such as cycling accidents. A value should also be assigned to the time saved.
Personally, I gain about 15-20 minutes of extra time per day by using an electric scooter.

If we could even get an extra hour of sales time at both ends, it would already help a lot: so 9–21 would become 8–22. My local Sale was previously open until 22, but they changed it to close at 21; I suspect the beer sales restriction affected the turnover of the last hour too much.

A great invention like this makes a cold beer possible even before nine:
I highly recommend it (or should I say “coolly” )

I’ve noticed that Akseli has clearly had something against analysts for quite some time now 
Quite an amusing Twitter guy to follow.

Akseli is just venting because he went and invested in Padma’s Tecnotree scam, and his beloved Graham formula no longer works in the current investment environment, so now he’s taking his frustration out on the analysts. I do the same thing myself whenever I make a losing investment

Akseli is comical. He hypes up some company that deviates from the trend, like Sotkamo Silver, and calls other investors sheep and analysts frauds. Then, when the reckoning comes, he quietly switches to the next one and, during the transition, boasts about his successful(?) Incap purchases. Now it’s Tecnotree’s turn.

It looks like VW is still doing some business and holds a strong position in Europe.

I recommend making chevals de frise and equipping them with concertina wire.
You can then deploy them more freely with a partner along the suspected main avenues of approach.
Concertina wire comes in such large coils that it is indeed difficult to install as is with a small crew.

This is a funny phrasing that raises the question: does the investor find the stocks for the portfolio, or do the stocks find the portfolio?
