June 2022: A non-financial operation

This month my update is shorter than I wanted to make because I was busy with other things. I was on the waiting list for a minor surgery (nothing serious but under general anesthesia), and yesterday I had that surgery. Fortunately I was able to go home quickly, but I’m taking it easy for a …

May 2022: Write-offs.. Again..

Fortunately, the last time I had to write off platforms was more than 2 years ago, but this month it’s that time again. And that is quite a financially painful thing. This suddenly makes the difference between my Eastern European platforms and my set of Western European P2P platforms a lot bigger. In short, I …

April 2022: A quiet month

April was a very quiet month. Perhaps a little too quiet, as you can read further on in my update about ING. Actually, I’ve been busy with other things and have paid little attention to my investments. Well, that really shows that these are really passive investments: investing just continues by itself. And that is …

March 2022: Finally it’s spring!

Finally it’s spring! Not that that has much of an effect on investments, but I’m just more of a summer person than a winter person. Hopefully it will soon be spring again in terms of the economy, because an inflation of 11.9% here in The Netherlands could be seen as an economic winter. And an …

February 2022: Ups, downs, and the war

A lot of mixed feelings these times: all the suffering and damage caused by a war, and at the same time rising profits because of the falling and rising stock markets. Further on in my overview of the stock exchange platforms, you can clearly see how the different sell order prices were suddenly hit. This …

January 2022: moving east to west

The P2P platforms in Eastern Europe promise and offer very high interest rates, some even well above 10%. As I and other investors have noticed, this also comes with quite high risks. A lot of money has been lost with some fraudulent platforms. The platforms in Western Europe on the other hand offer considerably lower …

December 2021: Happy New Year!

Of course I have to start by wishing you all the best in this new year. I hope it will be happier, healthier, and more fun for everyone. The past year has been one to both remember and forget, but the new year will also be a challenge. Hopefully we will have the lockdowns behind …

November 2021: Big drop on the stock markets

The stock markets have been hit hard in recent days, prices have fallen sharply in almost all markets. My stock portfolio has also fallen considerably in value. Fortunately that was all profit, and there is also enough profit left. In addition, it seems to be a significant drop but if you look at the last …

October 2021:35% platforms with license

It now seems to be going fairly fast with the number of platforms that have a license. Just over a third of the platforms in my portfolio, and two even with an Electronic Money Institution license. Having such a license does not offer 100% protection, but due to the stricter supervision and requirements of the …

September 2021:inflated inflation in eurozone

Last month inflation in the eurozone rose to 3.4% on an annual basis, the highest level since 2008. Now you are probably wondering what that has to do with investing.. Well, nothing directly of course, but indirectly? Certainly. All investors try to get a nice return, or rather try to grow their money so that …
