Try to define what your goals are. Is it short term gains? You'll need to be much more involved (and I have zero tips for that). For medium to long term savings, dumping in a well spread ETF is a really solid idea. It has risks, sure. But there are no riskless instruments. Even a normal savings account is only secured up to a specific sum (100k€ most often) and your bank could go bust.

I recently pivoted from MSCI world to a all world imi etf, so instead of ~70% us stocks I "only" have 60% in my etf. If you leave your money in for more than 15 years, you will sit out crashes like 2008, corona, and so on and make a profit. Don't buy any with more than 0.2% fees. Yes, of half the worlds economy crashes for good my etf money will be gone. But, what value would even cash have in such a scenario? I'd rekon the world will be gone full mad max if it ever came to that.

EU made repairable batteries mandatory, so that will hit the used market in a few years.

I dont see how. Measures like this only target consumers, if you buy a container of cheap shit and sell it for expensive nothing changes with these new rules. If you let your clothing be sewn wherever and sell it for expensive in a brick and mortar or local online store, nothing changes either.

I wonder what percentage of European companies stuff does not say "made in (asian country)" on the bottom. Can't be much.

Interesting! I wear a Garmin instinct, but I get more and more annoyed by it. Way to often when I want to check the time I see some notification instead.

Using a band like this and a normal watch could solve that 🤔

I'm not fully awake yet and thought, "weird, I didn't know boards of canada had workers?"

Maybe its "unlocking" stuff on your desktop browser with your phone, like the new captchas where you have to scan a QR and receive a code via SMS (seriously google, what the heck)
