Compounding. Economy & politics, investing, charts and irony. Born in Europe, made in USA. No investment advice. I’m not on Threads, Telegram, Bluesky etc.

Scary to watch, there will be a lot of vacant and worthless properties in Italy as we go forward. Similar picture in Poland and Spain. And don’t assume that your pensions will be worth too much, unless AI and robotics will mitigate the situation.

It’s really simple: capitalism is the uneven distribution of wealth; socialism is the even distribution of poverty. Always, no exceptions. Why do so many people still believe in a socialist utopia?

As long as you can afford to stay in the decent neighborhoods, Paris is still the most beautiful city in the world, not only at Christmas. Other areas are a different story.

I was told that I should finally say something positive about Germany. Ok, here we go: I look forward to the next Oktoberfest, it’s a unique and entertaining experience. Wouldn’t you agree?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with passing family wealth to the next generation. Why are the left so obsessed with inheritance taxes? Comrades, get a real job or start a business instead of stealing other people’s money.

While German and European carmakers are laser-focused on gender-neutral corporate speech and Pride months, Chinese BYD is building a factory that will be larger than San Francisco when completed. Most Germans don’t yet understand what’s coming their way. Good luck.

Wow, I have written many times about the incredible Polish economic wonder, but when someone as smart as Scott Bessent says that Poland will have one of the highest GDP per capita in the world, it’s clearly worth listening. Free market, hard work and entrepreneurial spirit work.

30 years ago each major US company had a German and/or French equivalent. Now counterparts of US tech giants are in China while Europe is on its way to become an open-air museum. What went wrong in Europe? Ht James Eagle

“I don't think that we should have billionaires.” OMG, this guy is not a socialist, he is a straight Marxist. What he doesn’t understand is that one becomes a billionaire when one invents a product a service benefiting millions of people and driving the progress of the society.

Get married or get fired, that’s quite an innovative way to address the demographic collapse. What would happen if a company in Europe or the US made such announcement to its employees?
