The first interview requests for the documentary series about the radical left City of Eindhoven are submitted. I received messages from from Dutch diplomatic missions congratulating me on the partnership, while it's clear the city of Eindhoven hates the partnership. It seems Iran will have to deal with more sanctions. The western world seems to partner. Despite European dislike of the democratically elected Trump administration it seems they are partnering. But what is st

Gold is rising. Bitcoin is rising. The US dollar no longer feels untouchable. That does not mean the dollar is collapsing tomorrow. Reserve currencies do not usually die in one dramatic moment. They lose trust slowly, then suddenly. They become less convenient, less neutral, and less politically safe to hold. That is the real story behind the latest move in gold and Bitcoin. Investors are not only chasing returns. Many are asking a deeper question: can the United States still

Oil is the price hidden inside almost everything. It sits inside the cost of a ship crossing the Pacific, a lorry carrying food to a supermarket, a fertiliser plant, an airline ticket, and a family’s electricity bill. When oil prices rise, the shock does not stay at the petrol station. It moves through the whole economy. That is why the latest pressure in energy markets matters so much. Rising crude prices are arriving at a fragile moment. Households are already stretched. Bu

A company can look alive on a stock exchange long after its business model has stopped working. It still files accounts. It still pays wages. Its shares still trade. Its bonds still sit inside funds, pensions, insurance portfolios and bank balance sheets. Yet the firm may survive only because lenders keep refinancing old debt with new debt. That is the basic danger of a zombie company. Zombie companies are not just weak businesses. They are a system risk when there are too ma

A bond can look calm on the surface while hiding a sharp loss underneath. That is the danger in the current market cycle. Rising bond prices, heavy government borrowing, higher interest costs, stretched equity valuations, fraud risk in parts of the India stock market, and weak “zombie” companies all point to the same warning: do not mistake popularity for safety. When investors feel nervous, they often run towards treasury bonds and other government debt. The common story is

A government can create money faster than an economy can create goods. That is the core problem every money-printing experiment runs into sooner or later. Modern Monetary Theory, often shortened to MMT, tries to make that problem sound manageable. It argues that a country that issues its own currency cannot “run out” of money in the same way a household can. In a narrow technical sense, that is true. A sovereign currency issuer can always create more units of its own money. B

Earlier today I had some lunch guests. We met in Portugal, it was fun. The pictures of the food are released on Parler. I'm out of my current housing. No more Netherlands it seems to be the case. If you know something kindly let me know. The Iran issues keep dragging the USA political establishment down. Once again the barbaric regime in Tehran is winning. Which I don't like. I rather have a Trump victory. For the humanity. Master Your Financial and Digital Future D

Survival in many Western countries no longer means preparing for rare disasters. For a growing number of households, it means getting through the month without falling behind on rent, energy, food, transport, childcare, insurance, or tax bills. The pressure is not coming from one direction. Prices have risen across the essentials people cannot easily avoid. At the same time, the cost of government has grown through higher taxes, fees, borrowing, regulation, and public spendin

The Dutch fiscal debate has become a fight over who gets protected today, while the bill for tomorrow keeps moving into the next coalition agreement. That is the central danger. The Netherlands is still a rich, productive country with strong institutions, a high tax base, and deep pension capital. Yet the political system now rewards short-term compensation more than long-term investment. Housing, energy grids, defence, migration capacity, nitrogen policy, healthcare staffing

In today’s fast-moving digital world, standing still means falling behind. The marketing landscape is shifting like sand beneath our feet, and if you want to build a business that lasts, you need the right tools in your arsenal. But with so many options out there, how do you find your perfect marketing toolkit? How do you cut through the noise and pick the tools that will actually help you grow, profit, and thrive? Let’s dive into the internet marketing toolkit guide that wil

A direct war between the United States and Iran would not stay inside the battlefield. It would move quickly into oil prices, shipping insurance, bond yields, defence budgets, inflation expectations, and the political credibility of US debt. That is the financial reality of modern war. Missiles may strike military sites, ports, refineries, or supply routes, but the bill lands much wider. Households pay through fuel and food. Governments pay through borrowing. Investors pay th

The end is near. Not of the world. But my time in Holland. I must admit I can't wait. Grumpy people, expensive living, not so nice weather. The city of Eindhoven fetish made me make me to reconsider bring my family office to Eindhoven. Why are they deserving this? The city is intolerant, radical left. The idea was to bring family office to Eindhoven, integrate and take (for profit) low hanging economic fruit. Of which the first project is 'work in progress'. All around

Gold has returned to the centre of geopolitics because trust has become the rarest reserve asset. For decades, the global monetary order has rested on a simple bargain. The United States supplied the world’s main reserve currency, deep capital markets, military reach, and a payments system most countries could use. In return, the world held dollars, bought US debt, and priced key commodities in dollars. That bargain still matters. The dollar is not collapsing. The US remains

Tim Cook did not build Apple in Steve Jobs’ image. He built it into something investors could value more easily: a cash-generating platform with loyal customers, tighter operations, a larger services engine, and one of the strongest balance sheets in global business. That is the core story of Cook’s time as chief executive. Since he took over in August 2011, Apple has moved from a brilliant product company into a compounder. The iPhone remains the centre of the business, but

In a world that’s constantly shifting beneath our feet, finding a reliable way to earn money online feels like chasing a mirage. The digital economy is booming, but it’s also crowded and confusing.

In the ever-shifting world of digital marketing, keeping a sharp eye on your Facebook ad performance is like having a compass in a dense forest. Without it, you’re wandering blind, hoping to stumble upon success. But with the right tools and strategies, you can navigate the twists and turns of Facebook’s advertising landscape and turn every click into a potential profit. Today, I’m diving deep into facebook ad tracking tips that will help you master this crucial skill and sta

A military alliance that calls itself defensive should not leave a trail of secret networks, coup-friendly politics, and internal repression in one of its most important member states. Yet Turkey’s modern history shows how NATO’s security logic can harden into something far darker: a political system where soldiers, intelligence bodies, police units, and nationalist paramilitaries gain power over civilian life. The claim that NATO directly ran a “terror campaign” in Turkey ne

The last checks of the Dutch speaking Gold investor course are done. I need to check and reverify all to get it out. Stay tune for more updates and news on this one. For me it's time to prepare for my last month in Holland. I'll go back home. I must admit I have completely had it. People are arrogant, annoying, life is expensive. But I had to go back for the hospital (my medical file is complex) and notary for sports project. The question is how long the bubble of AI, mon

Confiscating frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine sounds simple. Russia invaded, Ukraine suffered enormous damage, and hundreds of billions in Russian-linked assets sit immobilised in Western jurisdictions. Why not take the money and use it to rebuild the country Russia attacked? Because the method matters. A freeze is a restraint. Confiscation is a transfer of ownership. Crossing that line without a clear legal process would weaken the same rule-of-law principles Western go

France is too large to ignore and too rigid to adjust easily. That is the core problem for the eurozone. When a small member state runs into fiscal trouble, Brussels can lecture, markets can price the risk, and the European Central Bank can contain the damage. When France struggles, the entire architecture shakes. This is not a claim that France is uniquely reckless or that other European states have no problems. Italy has debt pressures. Germany has weak growth and an ageing
