There is still this narrative that the electricity prices in Germany is high. The truth is that nobody pays those prices. Most of the time, people switch their provider every year to get a huge discount. Deals like this are happening quite often: www.mydealz.de/deals/250eur...

Just finished reading More Everything Forever by @adambecker.bsky.social. Probably one of the best books about the tech industry, its prominent figures, their ideologies, and motivations. I think everyone in the tech industry should read this book.
If you had invested in European stocks instead of the S&P 500 at the beginning of the year, you would have earned about 15% more in gains.
Mert Bulan@mertbulan.com · last yr.I've been investing in the S&P 500 ETF for the past seven years, but I stopped this year. The main reason I invest in ETFs is for diversification. However, when nearly 40% of the index's value is concentrated in just the top 10 companies, it no longer feels diversified enough for me.
