161  Economy / Economics / Re: Buying Vs Renting a Home- Which is the right move? on: May 22, 2024, 02:46:00 PM
This topic has come up quite a few times over the years on this board.  A lot of the discussion around it has mostly been others opinions.  I found this neat little graph online (instagram) from the New York Times that compares the two.  Now keep in mind one's location will certainly have an effect on which one might make more sense, even in what part of you own country you're in.
There is nothing bad in buying a house or renting it, doing both, your plan and purpose for doing such matters. At times, you may not have the money to get the kind of house you want to buy, in this case, surely, you will not sleep outside or do any magic, you will have to be patient for a while until you are financially stronger enough to buy a house. In some cases, it could be a situation of relocation where you can't immediately settle for the buying of the house, and of course, you will have to rent.

Again, there are some people who have bought or built houses at some disadvantaged location, they do not have a choice, and they might still opt to rent a house for the time being. If they calculate the proximity-caused issues like the convenience of getting to work, resources to be wasted due to and fro daily, and safety, they would surely resort to renting a house in most cases. So, the two are no big deal, as safety, purpose, plan and convenience are key here.
It would really be something that will be depending into someones needs and preference because there are really people who are really that loving on having their own home and there are ones who do love to rent due to various reasons like the location of their job and something that do talks about practicality.It would really be just that depending on how well you would really be that making yourself that goes with your preference.
When it comes to savings then it would really be something that renting would be saving you up rather than on having that your own house. It would really be that situational and just like been said it would really be affected with several factors on which we know that this could really affect your decision making.

For me on which having your own house will definitely give out that kind of peace of mind and having that confidence since you are living on your own house which you wont really be needing to pay up some rent
but still you would really be needing to pay up those monthly amortization on which this is where people would be that skeptical on making up decisions because they dont really like for these things to be happening because they dont have the money or having not have the plans on paying up big for a long term amort on which i do really that seeing this stuff on where people do come into a point or consider
about speaking with practicality but of course it would really be still that depending on someones preference.

I do not deny that whether to rent or buy a house will depend on each person such as the nature of the job and many other factors. But like I said , I don't think long-term renting is more economical than owning a house. Personally, I lived in a rented house for more than 10 years while working away from home and I found that with that 10 years' rent , I was able to own a small house in my hometown. But because the economic conditions at that time were quite difficult, I could not buy a house and had to rent a house . If at that time I have enough money to buy a house and return to my hometown after quitting my job , I will even make a large profit from that house by renting or selling that house . That's why I disagree when people say renting a house is more economical than owning a house.

I like this concept you have offered. It is also the duty of the rich to help the poor and needy. We recently saw on this forum that a thread was opened to help Ukrainians and everyone donated what they could.
You mentioned that you will donate $100 when the price of Bitcoin reaches $100k. At the price you mentioned i.e. if bitcoin price is not $100k dollars then will you stop donating. Maybe our donation does not depend on any event it should be our duty to help people whenever we can.

I think there is no specific time limit to help. If you want to donate, you can donate in any situation. Because even if the price of bitcoin hits $100k dollars, we will donate, even if the price of bitcoin does not hit $100k dollars, we will donate it should be our pledge.

If you want to donate, or charity , you can do it whenever you have money and are willing to help people , and you don't need to announce it or post it on any social network to brag with everyone .  And when it comes to donating and charity , we should do it ourselves before giving advice to others  .

I also explained that our donation should not depend on any event as we will rush to donate whenever we have the opportunity and whenever we have money at our disposal. If you can, come forward to help the poor. Also donation should be kept confidential, you should not brag about donation to me or anyone. Donate according to your wish and ability.

The OP said that when the price of bitcoin reaches 100k dollars you will donate a hundred dollars. If somehow the bitcoin price doesn't reach 100k dollars will we stop our donation which is what I tried to explain.
But the procedure OP asked us to follow for grant is also correct. We don't know when bitcoin price will reach 100k dollars because crypto is very volatile so no one can predict accurately. If the price of Bitcoin reaches $100k it will be the highest price in the history of Bitcoin which will be worth celebrating.

I understand what you're saying but what I'm trying to say is that donating to charity and celebrating when bitcoin hits $100k are completely different. There are many ways for us to celebrate when bitcoin reaches the 6-digit milestone but OP's idea is so good and with that idea it will definitely attract more participants and make the celebration more meaningful.

Also, it is true that we cannot predict the movement of bitcoin but as a bitcoin investor, I am confident that bitcoin will be able to touch $100k. I am quite confident in that and the only problem is time, sooner or later bitcoin will reach 6 digits.

In the end, Sunrisers Hyderabad got to a total of 159, which I would consider as quite decent. Pat Cummins added 30 valuable runs towards the end, and it may make a difference today. After being smashed all over the park, Mitchell Starc returnd back to form with a terrific spell of 4-0-34-3. Varun Chakravarthy also did well and picked crucial wickets. As of now, I would say that Kolkata Knight Riders remains as the favorites to win this match, unless the SRH bowlers can do something extra-ordinary.

Sunrisers Hyderabad lost the match very convincingly. They have lost the match against KKR and KKR has been able to beat them with eight wickets and 38 balls in hand. The way this whole tournament has been played, I thought obviously this target is not going to be enough. But I thought maybe there is a chance that the track is actually not that good and maybe there is something for the bowlers in it. But I was wrong. This was very much once I did and I am very much disappointed to see this match. I am personally very disappointed to see the whole IPL tournament to be honest. It is really not fun for me to see even good balls go flying out of the ground. It is like the player cannot do anything about it. Doesn’t matter what field they set or what ball they bowl. For me, there was not enough competitive integrity in this IPL tournament.

I do not know about the managerial career of him. I know that he was a very good defender back in the day. I also know that he is currently the coach of Burnley. And Burnley just got relegated. So I do not think it is going to be a very wise idea to actually get him as the coach of Bayern Munich. They should look for someone who has already been able to prove himself. And I do not think he is that guy.

You know, he has not coached big clubs so far. The first somewhat big club or decent club that he has actually taken up the coaching job for Burnley and they got relegated this season. So I do not think Munich should consider him as an actual candidate. I think Munich will be better off with the coach that they have right now instead of getting Kompany.

Betis has delivered a disgraceful result for its fans after it was losing against sociedad with decent scores. Being able to sit in the conference league spot does not even help Betis get three points from its opponent and sociedad has taken it back from betis. The club must allow sociedad to take three points from Betis. It assists Sociedad in maintaining its position in the conference league this season as the club has very small chance to qualify for the conference league.

Congratulations to Sociedad on destroying Betis with a pretty good score and it's really help for sociedad to qualify for the conference league. The only possible scenario is that Betis will win the upcoming game with a large margin. Meanwhile, Sociedad must have dropped three points in the upcoming game but it sounds impossible to happen considering sociedad is also having more GD / GF compared to the best.

I'm not sure if betis will be able to do that given the poor performance of real betis.
A very disappointing match for those who support Real Betis. But we can see that Real Betis shot towards goal several times. This is an effort that has been carried out by Real Betis but the results obtained do not match the efforts made by Real Betis. Luck was still not on his side. I think this is the end of Real Betis' match because in the next match I am sure they will have difficulty winning because the opponents they face in the next match are three teams that have great strength and it is impossible for Real Betis to win this match.



If Real Betis had any chance of finishing in the sixth position, I believe it is officially gone now. The difference of four points cannot be closed when only one match is left. Congratulations to Real Sociedad for being able to win this match and of course after losing this match it has also been official that Real Betis is not going to take part in any European competition as well.

If we talk about the next match, I do not think Real Betis is going to be able to win at all. Because the next match is against Real Madrid. Even though Villareal has been able to get one point from the match against Real Madrid after being behind significantly, I do not think Real Bettis will be able to do the same thing.
166  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: May 20, 2024, 04:24:34 PM
I perfectly understand that Real Madrid is the most successful club in Europe and as the most successful European club, they have that winning mentality which I think is necessary of their biggest weapons as a club but after the result of their game today against Villarreal and how Villarreal were able to come from three goals down draw the game, I became worried of what Real Madrid in the final against a Borussia Dortmund team that's more formidable than Villarreal.
Borussia Dortmund did not win any other trophy and the only way they can finish the season a trophy is by winning the UEFA Champions League final against Real Madrid so I expect them to be at their best when facing Madrid. Real Madrid despite their result today against Villarreal is stilly favorite team to win that final but they must definitely be at their best to achieve that against Borussia Dortmund

Just because Dortmund haven't won a single trophy doesn't mean they have a better chance win it in the Champions League final than Real Madrid. Moreover, Real Madrid have so much more experience in this tournament that they can play more confidently, although these are just my assumptions. There is no need now to evaluate Real's defense based on the match with Villarreal, because there you need to evaluate the match comprehensively, starting with their squard and ending with motivation. In the final everything will be different, and most likely it will be Dortmund who will play most of the match in defense, unless they concede an early goal and have to win back.


Quote
Joselu: “These matches allow us to prepare for what's coming in two weeks”
"We have been very consistent throughout the season", said the forward, who netted Madrid's second goal.

Joselu said in point. I am going to say that Real Madrid is going to be the winner of this Champions League final just because of the history that Real Madrid has in the Champions League competition. They are definitely one of the best teams to play in the Champions League. And we all remember the numerous times that has been able to make a comeback from unbelievable situations and win Champions League matches. That's why I think Real Madrid should be able to win the Champions League title this season. But of course, whenever there is a final being played, we have to assume that both of the teams have a 50-50 chance to win. And of course, both of the teams also have the capability of winning the final. That's why they are in the final in the first place. But Real Madrid is undoubtedly going to be the favorite.

167  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC staying above $67,000, will it reach all time high? on: May 20, 2024, 02:34:38 PM
Most investors are hoping that bitcoin price will hit 200k and above in the bull run when bitcoin price hits its peak. Why I am saying this is that 73k was the highest price we saw this circle and it is just the price to start the bull run.


I don't see too many people being optimistic about the $200k target that bitcoin can reach this bull season , what I see is people only making rather modest predictions of $100k.
I am also very optimistic and believe that this will be a super bullish cycle because we have many big catalysts in this year's bullish season such as the US election , interest rates , and inflation all have positive improvements , ETFs...but I think the goal of 200k$ is not an easy goal to achieve . Personally, I still believe that bitcoin hitting the 150k-180k level is much more feasible .

-snip-

Who has observed that the speculations and predictions  of Bitcoin price has gone silence since the market went DIP after the halving?
Bitcoin price speculation and predictions do not always have to be visible. On platforms like x.com, speculation and price predictions still exist if you pay attention.
After the halving, we admit that the price of Bitcoin experienced a correction from a price above $73k back to a price below $69k or even below. Even now the price is still difficult to get above $69k.
Although this is only normal and some people think that the difficulty in breaking through prices above $70k is only temporary in preparation for an increase higher.
If I observe current conditions, the market is not bad.
You are right, price predictions and speculations may not always be visible but I know they are still present in the market. It’s just that current price is now in a good position although it has not exceed above $70k but we all know it’s heading there. However, still price correction might eventually back again right after bitcoin reaches another significant price so we should still prepare for it and accumulate more bitcoin if possible.

Bitcoin price predictions and speculations will always be a part of an unpredictable market. The moment it stops, which I guess won’t be possible, then I think this volatile market will not be interesting anymore.
People are still making predictions about the market but we cannot deny that before the halving there were many positive predictions about bitcoin increasing in price and creating a new ATH after the halving. But after the halving was completed, bitcoin continued to adjust and showed no clear signs of price increase , which made most investors discouraged and did not want to make too many predictions about the market.  I'm also a regular user of X , and I've also noticed that bitcoin's predictions have become much quieter than they were months before the halving .
Even on this forum, people still make predictions about the price of bitcoin , but it is clearly becoming much quieter than before.

Manchester City won their last match as well as Arsenal won their last match of the season but Manchester City's win was not good for Arsenal at all because of this win Manchester City won the title again this season. Arsenal lost the title every season to Manchester City at the end of the season. But I must praise Arsenal's performance this season because the performance they have shown this season and the way they have competed until the last match is undoubtedly commendable. This season Arsenal tried their best and they created many chances but for some reason they could not secure the title. Hope they will try again next season and they will be successful next season.  

Congratulations to Manchester City for another season of title wins.
From the beginning of the season several teams have competed strongly in the race for the English league championship, but slowly continue to narrow down leaving Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City, Manchester City which in the middle of the season is still in rank 3 is still able to compete and be consistent in the race for the championship title, until in the end when the game only left a few more games in the race for the championship title, Arsenal And Liverpool experienced a crash that forced the two teams Having to lose points and even more tragically Liverpool had to get out of the winning path this season, Manchester City who benefited from the crash of both teams managed to overtake Arsenal and Liverpool, so they were ranked first in the Premier League at that time and made Arsenal have to hang their fate in the hands of other teams.

Arsenal journey this season has ended in failure like last season, but admit it or not, for now Arsenal performance has improved drastically compared to a few seasons ago where they were only referred to as a team that only targeted the top 4, with Arteta coaching methods and also the addition of several experienced players in their squad, now Arsenal has become a championship challenger team as it has been in the last two seasons, so  I think we will see Arsenal will continue to develop and will even remain title contenders.

break Arsenal's hearts??

Well, all I want to say is that we at least did not see any stupid results brought in by Arsenal at the end of the season. If I recall correctly, in the last season Arsenal had almost 10 point advantage over Manchester City. somehow Arsenal still ended up losing the English Premier League title. At least something like that did not happen in this season. And I think we can say that Arsenal has actually shown improvements. More improvements are needed of course. I think Arsenal is heading towards the right direction though.

I also want to talk about another thing, what do you guys think about people calling the English Premier League the actual farmers' league? Manchester City has been able to win the English Premier League title six times in the last seven seasons. And I do not think this domination is going to change anytime soon.
171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: May 20, 2024, 01:10:12 PM


Union Berlin actually got a very important win. Now they are going to stay in the Bundesliga with a good goal difference. And honestly, I would not have liked to see them get relegated from the Bundesliga after they had shown so many promises. I hope they will be able to make a comeback and will be able to improve their performance very soon. Now that they have made sure that they are going to stay in the Bundesliga, I hope they will be able to sort out the problems that they have.

Actually, I am not saying that they should improve so much that they should be able to challenge for the Bundesliga title. Even though that would be very nice. But I think they should just be able to aim for the top four positions at least.

They managed to hold on to the league with their victory against Freiburg in the last match. While Union Berlin was a feared team in the league a few years ago, it has now turned into the impression of a mediocre team that left the relegation zone in the last game. They were lucky this year, but what will happen next year? Will they be this lucky next year? They have to spend the transfer period well in order not to leave next year to chance.

Yes, it is absolutely true. They were lucky in this season. Otherwise, it could easily have been a relegation for them. when they were actually performing well consistently sometime ago, I think that was actually skill. Well, to be honest, it was not on skill, it was probably 50% skill and 50% luck. when the luck ran out, they were not able to perform consistently.

I still remember them performing really well towards the start of a certain season. I cannot remember which season. But after almost like 15 matches, they started to fall down through the table. I did not think they were going to fight so hard to stay out of the relegation zone so soon. But anyway I agree that they will have to spend some good amount of money to actually stay out of the relegation zone and at least stay towards the upper half of the table.

Union Berlin defeated Freiburg at home to stay in the league.They did not start the match well against Freiburg.The first half ended in a goalless draw, but it is worth noting that Union Berlin missed a penalty.In the second half, the match started to get more active in the last 30 minutes. In the 68th minute, Union went 1-0 up with Hollerbach, but in the 85th minute, Union Berlin scored a goal and went into the last 7-8 minutes with a draw.Union Berlin managed to win the match with Haberer's goal in extra time and managed to get a life-saving 3 points.Bochum's defeat to its rival also played a big role in staying in the league. Although they wanted to win the match against Werder Bremen, there was a Bochum that could not do it.The total number of shots of the 2 teams in the match was 53 and there were only 5 goals in the match.In the match where we saw plenty of positions, the goals usually came in the last 15 minutes.

Pakistan women vs England women. 3rd T20I

Another match and another loss. Pakistan women team have lost another T20 series and this time its a whitewash. England gave target of 176 only because of Danni Wyatt brilliant knock of 87 runs on just 48 balls. In reply just see the strike rate of Pakistani batters, both openers played with strike rate of run a ball. Pakistani team played full 20 overs and lost just 4 wickets, seems like Pakistani batters were interested in improving personal stats only not in winning the match.


I was sure that Pakistan would lose this series. Because Pakistan women's team is far behind compared to England women's team. In the second match, England Women's team set a target of just 145 runs. However, the Pakistan Women's team lost the match by a huge margin of 65 runs. Pakistan women's team mustered only 79 runs. After seeing the result of this match I was sure that Pakistan women team will lose in the last match as well.

As usual we don't see good performance from Pakistan women team even in last match. England Women set a huge target of 177 runs. Pakistan women's team did not have the ability to win by batting against such a big target. However, Pakistan Women's team batted well enough and scored 142 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. Pakistani women team players need to work harder.

The luck factor is also accompanied by the hard work of the Dortmund players and it must be admitted that Dortmund's defensive performance is quite impressive.
The final match against Real Madrid is not easy but Dortmund still has a chance.

I will not underestimate Dortmund because I think the final match will be different compared to other matches, especially in the Champions League final match, anything is possible.
Dortmund will use all its abilities to face all of Real Madrid's abilities in the Champions League final so it would not be appropriate to underestimate an opponent like Dortmund or vice versa. Both teams still have time to hone the talents of their respective players before the final match begins because this match is a match to use all the abilities that each team has this season. So there are no weak words other than the word luck that must be hoped for by the two teams who in essence will definitely work hard to win in the final.
Anything can happen in the Champions League final. Real Madrid is a team that knows how to win and is not worried about winning. This is very important. Dortmund will feel under a lot of pressure against the fans. As you said, Dortmund is not a team to be underestimated. If they have lucky days, why not, it is still a low probability. There is one person who will keep the Dortmund defense busy for a long time, it is none other than Vinicous Jr.
Madrid is the best club in the UCL, they know how they will end the season by winning the UCL title, especially with the opponent they are facing, in my opinion it is not that tough when compared to Man City or Bayern Munich, I see that Borussia Dortmund is not a club that can beat Madrid but It's true, as you said, anything can happen even though the possibility of winning is only small because Madrid is strong enough to knock out their opponents when they are in the final.

Don't forget Bellingham and Rodrygo who will keep Borussia Dortmund's defense system busy and maybe Anceloti will use Joselu if needed when Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo have difficulty scoring goals. Anceloti always has a way to play strategy in the UCL. He is a coach who is good at making decisions even in Even though times are difficult, I can't wait for Madrid to win the UCL title again this season.

I agree with you. The best club in the Champions League is Real Madrid. And Madrid's dominance in the Champions League is palpable. Madrid have won the Champions League title 14 times in total and finished as runners-up 3 times. Madrid have won the title most times since qualifying for the final. On the other hand, the Dortmund team has won the title only once. The team won the title in 1997. And runners up only once. So naturally, Real Madrid is considered the favorite for the Champions League final.

Real Madrid is in very good form this season as well. Madrid have a very experienced coach and a stable squad. However, Dortmund's defense is also very strong. And I would say the team qualified for the finals because of the strong defense. I look forward to seeing Ancelotti step up to break down this strong defence.

Manchester City is leading 2-1 at the end of the first half. Manchester City must win today at any cost if they want to win the title. Otherwise there is a possibility of losing the title. So Manchester City players will try their best to win today.

In today's match we see the dominance of Manchester City players. Manchester City players had 72% ball possession in the first half. And made a total of 15 shots. The interesting thing is that 10 of these shots were on target. West Ham's goalkeeper is under a lot of pressure today. West Ham goalkeeper Areola performed very well. If not, West Ham would have conceded a few more goals.
I was also aware of that if cityt was totally owning the game now. West Ham faced a lot of pressure, but the club could only attack City through corner kicks and counter-attacks and it may be continue till the end of season but i strongly believe that if city is the winner. Kudus' goal was incredible, but it may not happen again and city is winning the game, it's obvious. City was the only club that is able making EPL looked like a farmer league. GOGOGO Manchester City!!!! I am confident that City will win the EPL this season, given the intensity of Manchester City's pressure on West Ham.
I'm really happy with it. We're getting closer to the end of the match. As long as the city can justify the current outcome. City needed to score another goal to improve its chances of winning against West Ham.

City was always playing offensively in this game, the club keeps to push westham non stop and Rodri scored another goal. Arsenal's run has ended. This club continues to dream of winning the English Premier League. It will not happen even until another decade
Arsenal will never be City, my friend. City is a king but arsenal is nothing. Glad i was picking city.

Manchester City players are performing better than I expected. Manchester City players have been able to use the opportunity of West Ham's weak defense very well. Because West Ham's defense is weak. So Guardiola has put more pressure on the West Ham team by creating an attacking match strategy. Manchester City players are attacking a lot. So West Ham are not able to create counter-attacking opportunities.

Rodri's goal in the second half gave Manchester City a 3-1 lead. I don't think City have any chance of dropping points in this match. If City wins this match, Manchester City is the Premier League champion. And either way City will win the Premier League title today.

In today's match we see the dominance of Manchester City players. Manchester City players had 72% ball possession in the first half. And made a total of 15 shots. The interesting thing is that 10 of these shots were on target. West Ham's goalkeeper is under a lot of pressure today. West Ham goalkeeper Areola performed very well. If not, West Ham would have conceded a few more goals.

According to experts when there is a climate change in the world many things change in the world and things are not like before again. And yes everyone was saying that bitcoin price will rise after the halving but the price of bitcoin rise before the halving and it hit the All Time High twice before the halving so some scholars came again to say thY bitcoin has hit it All Time High before the halving therefore it will not come again after the halving but we still have the hope that bitcoin will hit $100k to reach the All Time High in the season.

So we're all waiting the $100k all time high.
You have said it wrong, even next year is still after halving and the fact that bull season is not over yet, we can still expect a big bump in its price. So we have to stop assuming that there is no ATH nor do we think that there are no price improvements after halving because it is still possible.

Of course, I believe there are experts but their expertise never means they are always right as they can be wrong as well. Just think that the market is volatile and even if we are here for a decade or even since the start, we can't still say what really exactly happened in the coming days.

Either the bull season is over or the bull season we were waiting for hasn't really arrived yet, after all no one knows and all we can do is just wait and hope. But one thing I'm pretty sure of is that even if we don't have the expected bull season, bitcoin will increase in price and reach new ATHs over time. Bitcoin does not need a bull season to reach a new ATH, as long as the demand for bitcoin continues to increase every day, it is only a matter of time before bitcoin reaches its new ATH.
But as a bitcoin investor, and we have been accumulating and waiting through the past 3 difficult years, let's hope that there is a bull season ahead and those who wait will be rewarded.

Regardless of the efforts made by Barcelona to win a trophy next season, I think it will still be difficult to compete with Madrid who are trying to build the third volume of Los Galacticos. With unstable financial conditions, Barcelona movement in the transfer window will be limited, so building the desired squad will be very difficult to achieve. Indeed, if you look closely, Barcelona current squad is actually quite good, but that is not enough to pressure Madrid and compete in European competitions. News has spread that Xavi will now be fired as a result of his comments that touched on the club financial problems, a situation which according to Xavi is an indicator of why Barcelona is having difficulty winning trophies this season.

Promoting young players from the academy, or recruiting potential young players, is the best solution for building the squad for next season. If Barcelona wants to get instant results, management will again have to recruit players on free transfers, or get around this by borrowing quality players from other clubs. I think Barcelona management will take these methods to safeguard the club interests in the long term. A situation that is quite complicated, and club officials must work hard to bring Barcelona out of this problem, and build Barcelona to reach its glorious era again.
La Liga is definitely a competitive league and for the fact that against all odds, Girona being an uprising team, have proven to stay in the top spot, it only means that there's definitely good fighting and resilient spirits in the teams there. The last weeks of the season games seems to be a walk over for Girona as they've in the first legs played to their best and have mastered rightly their strategies and the opposing team approaches, and so they've got better experience to countering the moves that'll be made.

 Of all seasons, asides the top teams like Atletico, Barcelona and Real Madrid, there's little or no heated contests to stay on top amongst average teams. Although their performances this season have been impressive but just as Villarreal who managed to get reasonable in the European contests and even Sevilla as well, this season, Sevilla is nowhere to be found in their usual league standings. The league is coming to an end and it’s already crowned it's champions to be Real Madrid especially after such remarkable season.

 Well Girona and Barcelona are the closest contenders but they weren't able to gather enough points to be able to challenge Real Madrid. ⁠The La Liga is pretty competitive but I think it revolves majorly around Real Madrid and Barcelona as other clubs tend not to be able to perform better than these 2 clubs. Well this all balls down to investment in football and if that’s done we’ll be able to see major competitions in the league.

Girona has not been able to win against Alaves. They only got one point from that match. At the same time, they have also not been able to win or even get one from the last match that they have played. So now they have created a big difference in terms of points with Barcelona. that’s why I do not think they will be able to get to the second position anymore unless Barcelona actually somehow loses all the matches that they have left. Which I definitely do not think is going to happen.

So I think Barcelona is going to finish in the second position, that is safe to say now. Actually, this has given a chance to Atlético Madrid to finish in the third position. but obviously for that to happen, Girona will have to lose at least one match. And Atletico Madrid will have to win both of the matches that are left. This is a little too much to ask in my opinion.

Isn’t it going to be better for Manchester United to actually wait and take the decision about the coach first?
if they are actually not going to keep the coach that they have right now, what is the point of bringing in new players earlier?
What if the next coach who joins the club wants to work with other sets of players?

And I am pretty sure if another coach comes, he is going to prefer other players for some positions. If that coach is able to work with the player they have in the squad and actually perform well, it would be nice. But there is a very low chance of that actually happening. Manchester United has been taking some very stupid decisions lately.

So I think I am not going to be wrong for saying that this is also going to be a stupid decision as well. And if they do not get a new coach, that decision is going to be more stupider.
180  Economy / Economics / Re: April CPI eased to 3.4 from 3.5 in March on: May 17, 2024, 09:41:08 AM
If the CPI prints another small decrease during the next report, both legacy and cryptocurrency markets could surge to new all time highs. But to play the devil's advocate, isn't the sudden change of mood to extreme bullishness also inflationary?
A decrease in CPI prints has its own advantages and disadvantages. Looking at it closely, a decrease in CPI prints will benefit the consumers. CPI prints decreasing will allow consumers to buy products and services at much lower prices.

CPI prints can actually be used to assess which investment one can make. But like you said if it decreases too suddenly, it might not be as beneficial as it looks like.

More purchasing power will result in higher demand and if the supply can not keep up it might inflict inflationary tendencies.

CPI is an inflation index, a decreasing CPI index means inflation is decreasing . How can a sudden drop in CPI cause a supply shock and a rebound in inflation ? I really don't understand what you are saying .

I don't know how the government comes up with the final result of the CPI, but it is an inflation index and the Fed will rely heavily on it to decide whether to lower interest rates or not . The sharper the CPI falls , the faster it shows that our economy is recovering .
But I don't think CPI will fall below 2% this year anytime soon , and it won't be difficult to have a bullish season this year because CPI is falling quite slowly .
