Richenel, volledige naam Hubertus Richenel Baars (Amsterdam, 20 april 1957 – Amsterdam, 13 maart 2020), was een Nederlands zanger die vooral in de jaren tachtig bekend was. Zijn carrière begon toen hij door een vriend met een eigen band werd gevraagd om als zanger in te vallen, hiervoor werkte hij bij een bank. Als lid van de discoformatie Luxor was hij daarnaast lokaal bekend als zanger en danser, vaak in "extravagante gewaden van eigen ontwerp". Dankzij zijn androgyne uiterlijk was hij een opvallende verschijning. De eerste single Statue of Desire werd niet erg populair. Zijn tweede single, L'Esclave endormi, was echter vooral in Engeland een grote hit. https://hvdommelen.nl/r/Richenel.html

Madelon Vos wrote that entrepreneurs, according to the CEO of DSM, needed a reliable government, but did not get one. She stated that Dutch politics trivialized the effects of the income tax in box 2 and the high rates in box 3, and that this policy severely affected entire sectors, including the Dutch crypto and precious metals sector with more than two million investors. Vos wrote that investors had to keep track of their real returns themselves, while some banks and brokers could not provide that data and the Tax Authority had not yet verified the calculations. According to her, investors would want to deduct inflation, transaction costs, currency costs, and subscription costs from that calculation. She also reported that the man who had been at the basis of the law had since advocated for the withdrawal of the amendment and the law and for a new piece of legislation. Furthermore, Vos pointed to the rising interest rates in France and the possible consequences of that for the Netherlands. She wondered if war was looming and wrote that the Netherlands was increasing pressure on Russia. https://t.co/X4T4ze43tV #ondernemen #beleggen #politiek (translated)

NeoJudgeTuleya wrote that in recent hours, information about a possible attack on the prime minister and deputy prime minister was conveyed through special services, and urgent meetings were held at the Anti-Terrorist Center. The author suggested that the threat had been communicated via email and its publicity was an operation intended to divert attention from government problems. As a background, he pointed to the collapse of public finances and record state debt, knife attacks in schools, and scandals at the ministerial level, including the affair of Deputy Minister Kołodziejczak. He wrote that the authorities intentionally directed media attention to the topic of the attack in order to limit the debate on taxes, the budget deficit, and government actions. The author accused the ruling camp of fueling polarization, shifting the blame for mistakes onto political opponents, and appointing individuals who are loyal but, as he assessed, lacking competence. He also claimed that the alert about the attack was intended to provide the government with political benefits, justify state operating costs, and silence the opposition. He mentioned the creation of enemies, including the opposition and President Nawrocki. #polityka #manipulacja #bezpieczeństwo (translated)

According to Piegziu, his friend took a few pieces of cake with him but returned with suicidal thoughts. The author added that two years earlier, his friend had taken out a loan to buy a new house. He currently had a stable job, but — as Piegziu noted — only he knew how much stress that situation had cost him. #praca #ciekawostki #stres (translated)

Furkan Yildirim asked why Wall Street professionals are currently preparing for a potential severe stock market crash, in his view, even though the S&P 500 is just below its record. He cited data such as the Skew Index and pointed out that hedge funds are positioned defensively according to Goldman Sachs as they have been for years. In six weeks, S&P 500 futures worth $63.7 billion have been sold; at the same time, there are record bets on falling prices for small US stocks. There is particular demand for protection against extreme cases. Yildirim announced a macro deep dive with 20 charts from Goldman Sachs, BofA, Deutsche Bank, and TS Lombard. In it, he wants to address market positioning, possible parallels to 1987, 1994, 2000, or 2023, three scenarios weighted by him, and possible consequences for gold and Bitcoin. He asked whether he should record the video on the same day. #Marktanalyse #Investment #Wirtschaft (translated)
