BRAHIM HEMDANI on MOHAMED AMOURA's performance: "I am satisfied with AMOURA's performance. I think the fact that he did not score made him more nervous, but it's worth noting that he returned to training late with his club. He played 70 MINUTES and contributed notably in the first half. He is a forward and he knows that scoring is part of his role, but I am FULLY SATISFIED with his performance." (translated)

Businesses are starting to recover from the @Pride & SeTa intoxication, and reason is slowly returning. I challenge other companies to stand with integrity on the side of indivisible human dignity, which Christianity has historically represented, and to jump off the intoxication train – an ideology past its prime that rides on politicization, hostility towards doctors who speak about mental health issues arising within the movement (we all worry about the youth), perversions, and the claim that you are equal to your sexual desires and genitals (whatever that Holy Pus** performance on December 6 was) 🫠 You are not. You are much more valuable, beautiful, handsome, wiser & more cultured, and you have the right to say no to all this unhealthy movement. ❤️ (translated)

SHE DID IT. Christelle de Franceschi has just broken the craziest world record of the year. Climbing mountains day and night without sleeping? No. Even more grueling: PLAYING THE ACCORDION NON-STOP. (translated)

🔴 Esteban Ocon, without filter, after qualifying in Baku expresses all his frustration as he felt a good performance was possible today! 💬 "I don't think I deserve all the sh*t that has been thrown at me since the beginning of the season, I was on a super lap that would have made it to Q3 and yellow flag once again, it's always for me. I'm really fed up. I'm really fed up with everything. Tomorrow we're going to try to make up for all that, for once things were going in the right direction and we could have gone to Q3... it's really annoying." (translated)

In #FP3, #Verstappen arrives. Everyone raises the engine level and #Mercedes is slightly less unreachable. The #RedBull can do well on this track since it hides the car's problems and enhances its strengths. Unlike what was seen earlier, the deployment from the Milton Keynes team has changed in search of better optimization. Max is harvesting towards turn 3, then goes strong at the citadel (good suspension setup) and very strong at 15-16, balancing energy, braking, and good lateral grip. He already leaves a couple of tenths in the last straight but is now too far ahead to be caught. I believe that in qualifying Mercedes will make an additional leap in engine performance that will put it back in front as the favorite, but of course, you never know. Besides dominating all the short accelerations, without harvesting until 3, #Russell also gains a lot in the downhill section towards 15: everyone there tries to take advantage of the descent to recharge for the final straight, while #Ferrari is super clipping, he almost nothing. However, what he leaves to Max at the entry of 15 and 16 is too much and cannot be recovered in the final straight. #Hamilton puts in a great lap, the #SF26 seems to have found a significantly better balance, and he is aligned with Russell and Verstappen until the Citadel. However, from there on, he collapses quickly, both in the slow sections and at 15-16, and then in the initial part of the final straight where the gap widens further. The huge slipstream found at that point is evident, with Lewis plateauing without dropping, as can be seen very clearly from the red line that becomes almost horizontal at the end. He recovers half a second of the gap and finishes a tenth behind, crystallizing the fact that the slipstream will be a huge factor in qualifying. #Leclerc is not struggling with performance but with the track: the circuit was very dirty and the Monegasque could not complete a good lap in the last run, with many mistakes due to the poor grip conditions of the track, which he complained about a lot on the radio. #McLaren is currently on the sidelines, dealing with some issues with the setup due to all the updates brought that need to be understood. It will be interesting to see when they will turn up the engine and where they will end up. Interesting qualifying, Mercedes favored, but Max is there. It will be pandemonium with the slipstreams. #AzerbaijanGP #F1 (translated)

Anyone who wants to expropriate Vonovia cannot do the math. Vonovia's average cold rent: > Berlin: €8.26/sqm Vonovia stock price performance: > Last 12 months: -33% > Last 5 years: -66% If you exclude the high rental costs that the job centers pay for citizens' income recipients (on average €9/sqm in Berlin), Vonovia does not only rent significantly cheaper than all offering rents but also below the general rent index. Why would someone call on the state in this situation? (translated)

When I talk about the investments I make for my children, there is a question that often comes up: "Is it better to open a securities account in the children's name or in my name to give it to them later?" In the vast majority of cases, the second option will be much more optimized, for several reasons: 1️⃣ Having the account in your name will allow you to control the timing of the donation. You are not obligated to give it to your children when they turn 18. Conversely, if the securities account is opened in the child's name, they gain control at 18, without you having a say. 2️⃣ If you open an account in the child's name and make regular deposits, there is a risk that these deposits are considered manual gifts by the French tax authorities. The most relevant way to avoid this is to make occasional deposits for special occasions (Christmas, birthdays, etc.) which can, under certain conditions, be considered as customary gifts (provided they remain consistent with the parents' assets and income), rather than making small regular deposits. This problem completely disappears if the account is in your name. 3️⃣ From a tax perspective, there are two mechanisms that make holding the account in your name very powerful. The first is the possibility of benefiting from the tax allowance for donations. This is €100,000 per parent and per child, every 15 years. The second, the more powerful one, is what we call the elimination of capital gains. Let’s say you open a securities account in your name, intended to be given to your child, You accumulate shares of an S&P 500 ETF during their lifetime, with an average purchase price of €100, Your son is 20 years old, your investment has performed very well, your ETF has grown 10 times and is now worth €1,000. Your purchase price is still €100. At the time of donation, your son therefore receives your ETF shares… And that’s where the magic happens 🪄 Under French law, when donating securities, the value retained at the time of the donation becomes the new fiscal acquisition price for the beneficiary, In other words, if you give your son an ETF worth €1,000 when you bought it for €100, his new fiscal cost price will be €1,000. The €900 of latent capital gain accumulated on your side is therefore “eliminated”, without triggering taxation on this capital gain. If your son immediately sells his shares for €1,000, he will therefore have no taxable capital gain. And if he sells them a few years later, let’s say for €1,500, his taxable gain will be calculated on the difference between €1,500 and €1,000, which is €500, And not between €1,500 and your initial purchase price of €100. This is extremely powerful. You can thus accumulate assets in your name for years, retain total control of the capital, and then transfer the securities to your children at the moment you deem appropriate, You can then benefit from the allowance of €100,000 per parent and per child, while purging the latent capital gains accumulated over the years. By the way, this mechanism of purging capital gains also exists for other types of assets, including real estate or company shares. For all these reasons, I recommend opening a CTO in your name and giving it later, rather than opening one directly in your children's names. (translated)
