Father sends me €5000 I have no idea about finances. What is the best way to do this?

EDIT: Thanks for the tips! Seems like daily money accounts are the best choice. But MSCI ETF's were also mentioned a few times, which is why I'll read the thread again and find out more. EDIT 2: A few people have written that I haven't written enough about my situation. I'm studying to be a teacher in Munich and am currently halfway through my studies, but I'm probably planning to extend it for an additional bachelor's degree. Primarily I just want the money

The Race to Build the World’s Largest Solar Farms Is Accelerating

Over the last two decades, solar panels have fallen in price while efficiency has increased. Greater uptake and high levels of investment in research and development have led to vast improvements in solar power technology. As panel prices fall and governments worldwide look to diversify their energy mix and cut emissions, several developers are now launching mega-projects to meet the growing demand.

How are you investing in US Markets now?

Hi Folks, The US market just keeps grinding higher. A few months ago, I felt valuations were getting stretched and decided to hold off deploying some cash, expecting a pullback. Instead, the market has continued to rally and is now significantly higher. I was tied up with a job change for a couple of months, and by the time I looked back at the market, it had already moved sharply higher. I currently have about 15% of my net worth sitting in cash. Every time I think the market has run too far an

Our daily property is passed on to us today

The time has come: my old people are really getting old and the topic of inheritance is slowly becoming on the agenda. It is well known that inheritance taxes are often a stupid tax. In addition, consideration is now being given to using the real estate for care. It is therefore advisable to “inherit” early if you want to keep the hard-earned property in the family in the long term. Initial situation: parents married, future heirs two siblings. Two properties with extremely different values. E

I’ve been tracking pre-IPO valuations and found some interesting patterns

I’ve been looking at how companies like Stripe, Klarna, and SpaceX are priced in secondary markets before IPO. One thing I’ve noticed: - valuations often peak well before IPO announcements - retail access is basically non-existent until very late I started tracking this more systematically (mostly out of curiosity). Curious, does anyone here actually try to factor pre-IPO pricing into their public market strategy? Feels like there’s a signal there, but hard to access. submitted by /u/Icy-Emotion

Why is there no revolt over Cum-Ex? Tax increases despite wasting hundreds of billions
