    HMRC Sucks

    Lawmakers propose sanctions on US index funds investing in China

    If this type of bill passes (and it definitely will, maybe not this one specifically), it will affect both individual investors (ETFs) but also institutional investors including private entities who invest in ETFs or directly in the capital of Chinese companies. The US would of course try to...

    Lawmakers propose sanctions on US index funds investing in China

    This is getting beyond ridiculous. The level of pettiness reaches new highs week after week. They also said two days ago that they will hold china responsible if russia wins the war in Ukraine lol...

    ChatGPT asked me to be polite while I asked to draw me a image!

    what kind of computer do you need to run it? I assume the processing power is mostly heavy for the CPU. How heavy is the LLM? Can it run smoothly on a HDD? Also what UI would you suggest for general, not specific use?

    HANG SENG Index back at 1997 Levels ;)
