There is a wide variety of options and futures linked to the OMX30. You can run websites like this through Google translate https://www.avanza.se/placera/forstasidan.html Lots of individual stock info on there as well. With more industrial mix I would say its more similar to the DAX. Several...

Yes. Options , mini futures, warrants, margin, all fine. Its not a tax free account. The tax is 0.375% of the account per year, but if you can make large gains the tax rate is very low.

In Sweden in an ISK (investment saving account) the tax is 0.375% per year on total account value. No more taxes after that.

The sitting and doing nothing part....

Yes I would expect same in Sweden plus tend to be large nursing homes compared to neighbouring Norway and Finland. The old folks were not moving between them but workers were.

As an honest none politically correct answer. Its unskilled cheap work, doesn't require much training or need much if any language skills. There were waves of immigrants from Syria, Iraq and other places into Europe in recent years. Often ends up a choice of Uber or nursing homes..... and Uber...

Some of my observations from living in Sweden - Most of the earlier deaths were in nursing homes and often caused by the low paid health care workers bringing in the infection. Once there spreads like crazy. Such workers have very high proportion of recent immigrants who not having much...

Don't disagree with the numbers you have here but they also assume Amazon keeps up the huge investments its making in AWS and other part of business to grow even bigger. If it stopped trying to dominate the world and cut such investments the PE drops a lot and its valuation looks more...

Thorium is a great fuel but Uranium is better since it already contains fissile U235. Th232 and U238 are fertile. If the world ever runs out of Uranium we could start using Thorium. Until then it is like running your car on expensive whiskey, sure its possible but much cheaper ways to do it...

Ah we are there already. Just that "mobile phone" sounds better than state tracking device.

Well its not really defying logic is it. Since governments trashed the economy by forcing everyone to stay home they have duty to print money for peoples salaries. Otherwise noone would stay home and obey. So in this crisis yeah the governments have peoples and at least large companies backs...

The real death rate can only be found out years later. Current death rate is high because testing is limited to those suspected of having it i.e. turned up sick at hospital. Random population testing is needed to find those affected who didn't go to hostpital. That will not be done until testing...

Assuming your from the US I suspect that you may have much worse to contend with in few weeks time. It's been spreading all around the US for weeks already but they have not been testing for it. Seems mainly due to incompetence and desire to keep cases low due to upcoming elections. No test = No...

As an engineer whilst it can be enjoyable doing some car maintenance, and yes they re terrible investments but once you have a decent income and investments there is no need to live like a monk in hairy clothes. Prefer to buy 2 years old and sell after 5 or 6 years. Sure I could save a few...

Interesting to read through the views on this thread. Provoked my first post for few years. FWIW In main trading account I'm always long the main indexes it's just a question of to what extent. Normally ranges from x0.5 to x3 leverage. So neither all in or out. Near x0.8 now. Still very much...
