Lives in Belgium. Politics. History. Used to do law then got a degree in economics. Fan of Keynesian economics, therefore, by MAGA’s standards, I am a communist 😂

Fine should have been twice as high
Elon Musk slammed the EU after it slapped a fine on his social media platform X for violating transparency rules, warning his response would target the top officials behind the penalty.

Europeans are no longer shocked. Message is well understood already more than six months ago. US is retreating. The power vacuum will be filled by Europe itself.

I’m not necessarily staunchly against a more pragmatic foreign policy. But Trump’s version is a policy based on stupidity, incompetence and corruption

Trump seems to want to sell the American national interest in order for his family and cronies to make a few quick bucks

Weakening ties with allies just as China is becoming more powerful and assertive. Trump seems to be quite incompetent in the foreign affairs arena

Why would you tie your legacy, right now, to a failing old would-be dictator in the White House?

Five-byline alert: 🚨

“.. the full scope of [Witkoff’s talks] went much further, according to people familiar .. They were privately charting a path to bring Russia’s $2 trillion economy in from the cold—with American businesses first in line .. to the dividends. 🇺🇦

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

German infrastructure would be critical for defeating a potential Russian war of aggression against European NATO countries
November 27, 2025 at 9:56 AM
It’s not about *still*. I’d say increasingly. As Europe rearms, scales up and develops new military capabilities that make it less and less dependent on the US, America is rendered less able to unilaterally decide on anything in the region.

Most US analysts don’t seem to grasp that.
“.. the Witkoff-Dmitriev plan” demands that a substantial share of $300 billion of frozen Russian state assets “be carved up between Washington and Moscow .. This has apparently disappeared from subsequent versions, but there’s no mistaking the intent.”

Russia has no veto over Kyiv’s bid to join NATO, alliance chief Mark Rutte said today — rebuffing a peace deal proposal floated by Moscow and Washington that would block Ukraine from the alliance.
Rutte rules out Russian veto on Ukraine joining NATO
The alliance chief also warned that the threat Moscow poses to Europe will far outlast any peace deal reached with Kyiv.

I’m now convinced more than ever that Novo Nordisk’s bottom is in the rearview mirror. Yesterday was peak bad news. It’s not going to be easy to have any new huge damning news. Shares recovering well on/after peak bad news is good news.

Trump could have said something like:

“What are you talking about? We’re not issuing or planning any illegal orders!”

But he didn’t…

Peak Russo-American hubris and power in Europe. My take is that from here on these two will gradually be diminished as important political factors in Europe.

Chatbots (that also go by the sexier name AI) are expected to increase productivity but there’s evidence that they often do the opposite…
November 24, 2025 at 10:44 PM
Even if technically chatbots (also called AI) are not a bubble, the expected return on the investment falls short of what’s needed to justify the massive build up of data centres. This is concerning.

Just added Novo Nordisk again. Added also Energiekontor (EKT).

I can’t lie. Investing in US large cap growth was more fun than bottom fishing in European stocks. So far it mostly sucks.

Many startups do the fake-it-until-you-make-it stuff. The problem for OpenAI is theirs is mind-blowingly capital intensive. And all they offer is a chatbot that hasn’t yet proven exactly how useful it will be in increasing productivity.

Private credit does not involve maturity or liquidity transforming the way classic shadow banking does. LPs that provide private credit are primarily equity financed. They’re not borrowing short term in order to make long term lending. Systemic risks from private credit is not comparable to 2008
