With the Cyprus crises Germany decided there had to be a “bail in”, the bank robbery of the bank accounts of the common people.<br />And this morning I read in the news the EU is going to create growth by changing definitions of GDP per September 1st. R&D will no longer be an expenditure, but an investment. And the purchase of arms by a country will be considered an investment too.<br />This will make the stock markets a safe bet.<br />Even this big left, pro EU Dutch newspaper is getting scared. http://www.volkskrant.nl/vk/nl/2680/Economie/article/detail/3580445/2014/01/20/Nederlandse-economie-plots-gezond-dankzij-rekentruc-EU.dhtml<br /><br />Best regards, Alexander<br />Alexandernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695813850715269190.post-83515279240186125102014-01-19T20:35:21.496+01:002014-01-19T20:35:21.496+01:00On 1 Jan, I launched a competition for my children...On 1 Jan, I launched a competition for my children. Here's 100 virtual złotys to buy shares. At the end of 2014, we see how each portfolio stands, and I award them with real money over and above the initial 100zł. Eddie picked Newag (4 shares) and Quercus (2 shares). Moni picked Kinopol (1 share), Lodz cable operator Toya (5 shares), and travel firm Rainbow (4 shares).<br /><br />My portfolio for 100zł: Indykpol (1 share), Pekaes (2 shares), Primamoda (6 shares) and Rawlplug (3 shares).<br /><br />I'm guided by the Sage of Omaha's maxim: 'Invest in a business that can be run by an idiot. Because sooner or later, it will'.<br /><br />We'll see how they fare - an interesting little lesson in capitalism.Michael Dembinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05657728002439035765noreply@blogger.com
