    Tomorow we will have 3 elections rolling in Europe:
    -here, national parlament, to elect next gov (a turn right is expected)
    -Romania presidential second round (far right George Simion may win giving an extra headache to Zelensky, after Viktor Orban and Robert Fico)
    -Poland presidential first round (horizon not clear yet)

    Good luck rg7803 on the elections!

    We are pretty much done here until mid-terms in 2026. Although the political environment here is basically non-stop now days.

    Seems we would get past major elections back in the day and we would have a nice quite break from all of the noise. Not so anymore, it is covered continuously now and is injected into almost everything.

    A divided populace is an easily led populace.

    I'm inclined to agree. I still have not read the article (I will, I promise), but I think we can all agree that people are not always what they label themselves as.

    Golden words, my smooth and satisfying friend.

    Long term investing is a game of chicken. You need to be able to not blink while the whole world throws knives at your head. The media is endlessly telling us we absolutely have to sell company X because it's completely on fire and company Y is going to 1000x by tomorrow morning so best to get in on the ground floor. They haven't been right since 1952 but humans are invertebrates.
