Europe’s Industrial Future Is Not Where Most People Think It Is

For the past several years, Europe’s industrial debate has been dominated by a single word: decline. Factories are closing. Energy prices remain structurally higher than in competing regions. Germany’s industrial machine is under pressure. Steel, chemicals, fertilizers, and other energy-intensive sectors continue to struggle with the aftershocks of the gas crisis triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The conclusion often seems self-evident: Europe is deindustrializing. But reality is becomi

How detailed do you plan your finances - and if so, with what?

I'm interested in how others handle this. For a long time at home it was very unstructured, but somehow it worked, but no one really had an overview and costs were spread out over the top. But that changed with increasing capital, salary increases and investments, because at some point the mix became too big and difficult to manage. So the good old Excel list had to be used; for years I always made 3-4 lists. Vermie

If IRS makes ruling on BOXX will the ETF's price drop?

Right now BOXX ETF is operating in a gray area to reclassify short term capital gains into long term capital gains. If the IRS makes a ruling disqualifying the treatment of gains on BOXX as long term capital gains and recategorizes the gains to short term capital gains at either the fund or investor level, I think it's safe to assume overnight the fund would be sold heavily and AUM would drop drastically. If the AUM drops sharply, would the price of the ETF drop at all? Or would bid ask spread w

As the title states, I have 40k€ sitting in a savings account in Scalable Capital, earning an annual interest of 2.5%. This money is intended as my emergency savings, but I feel like it is a bit too much. As an immigrant to the EU from a poorer country, we were always taught that real wealth is always kept in cash and I am afraid that I still carry this mentality with me.
