Especially Romania requires a deficit, so as to invest and catch [...]
[relevant-to-adsense]Leu should drop to 1 euro / 4.5 leu
I am tested, these are my answers… (part 1) Leu should drop to 1 euro / 4.5 leu My friends, I think you have overestimated me a little bit (or a lot). I am a high school graduate, without any university degree at all and I have received an email by a technical analyst, who really challenged me. I will do my best to reply to him (and together with him to all of you), but I will ask you to be gentle with me, because I will try to tell you truths that Romanians don’t like listening to (exactly as Greeks never like to hear their truths too). So, the comment I received was: “Well, it looks [...]
[relevant-to-adsense]Gossiping 2
A really successful businessman… Sunday afternoon, in Radu Beller area, Bucharest. The coffee places are half full, thus lots of parking lots are available. A young guy leaves driving his Maybach (I guess he wanted to feel more secure, this is why he bought a 600.000 euro car – hopefully not by leasing…) and now there are three available parking places. Two seconds after, a big Mercedes illegally turns left and now it is in front of the three parking plots. After mature thought (I guess), the driver chooses to reject all three and to park his car exactly where is the line of pedestrians, [...]

The closed Stock Market and the scenarios… On Friday the Stock Market of Bucharest did not open, it remained closed. I didn’t notice in the news if it was announced or not, but my friends who know a lot tell me two versions of a similar story (Ofcourse I wasn’t present, I can not be sure): One told me that the Market didn’t open at all, because there were 0 biddings for stocks and the authorities were afraid to open it, as all the prices would be at limit down. The other one informed me that it didn’t open but during the day there were few biddings. People with experience of several [...]
[relevant-to-adsense]Memories from Munich – EXPO REAL
Filed Under: Uncategorized on Oct 10, 2008 @ 11:45 AM
“Call them, are they still going to make it?”. “Man, are you crazy? It is one of the most important Real Estate exhibitions of the world, in the top 3 of Europe”. “Ask… with this crisis, maybe they will think more wisely and they will cancel it”. Fortunately for me, my friend was wrong in one of his very rare times… This week, from Sunday until Wednesday, I was in Munich, participating (together with 3 colleagues of mine) with a stand in EXPO REAL exhibition. My company, MORE International Invest, was there for the second time, presenting to international investors our approach [...]

So, next week prepare for this, together with an approach that so far I didn’t read / hear / see anyone mentioning it. But… are you sure that you want us to see ourselves in the mirror of this crisis?
[relevant-to-adsense]My interview in “Adevarul” newspaper
Filed Under: Uncategorized on Sep 11, 2008 @ 10:53 AM
On Tuesday “Adevarul”, one of the biggest newspapers of Romania, had an interview of mine. I guess because the journalist there had interviewed me in the beginning of this year and what I told her about the market happened exactly as our discussion was then. She was really polite and did her work very good and professionally (usually some of the journalists don’t even understand what you tell them…). The result you can find them in this link: http://www.adevarul.ro/articole/un-grec-ce-joaca-totul-pe-romania/369924 I hope that next week I will have for you the translation available in English [...]

Few days ago, on Tuesday, I had presented to you an interview of Mr Gavin Ryan, an expert in Private Equity and Venture Capital Funds.

This is why I decided to address to Mr Ryan again, summing some of your questions and adding some new ones. This domain is really interesting and I think that it worths to know ...
