A year and half ago I joined a company that manages care homes: with the world population getting older and older, I thought it was the safest possible choice. Everyone has a plan ’till they get punched in the mouth a Nassim Taleb-esque Mike Tyson Do you remember when we Read more…
This week I was reading a blogger report that went like: I invested in Crowdestor because after the default of Kuetzal and Envestio this will be my high risk/high reward platform I do not want to talk about specific platforms here (even if you already know what I think about Read more…
