WSJ - Meet the Teens Investing in Stocks for Their Future Home and Retirement Interesting article which describes how some U.S. teenagers actively invests in stocks and crypto, often with parental guidance and long-term goals. One of the teenagers in the article is 13 years old. I sure wasn't 13 when I made my first investment which was in an actively managed fund. I was a lot older. Platforms like Greenlight report a sharp rise in trades by minors and note that more kids are setting up automatic weekly contributions, suggesting a focus on steady, goal‑oriented investing rather than day‑trading meme stocks. Pros and cons here. It's good more people take an active approach to saving and investing for sure, at the same time I think children should be able to be children during their childhood.

Kazakhstan National Bank is planning to buy Bitcoin and other crypto! Great news! Up to $300 million in total... National Bank chairman Timur Suleimenov clarifies that the potential investments concern the National Bank’s own foreign exchange reserves, not the sovereign National Fund, and that within these reserves a separate portfolio has been set up for high-tech stocks and digital financial instruments, including crypto assets, with a possible allocation of up to 300 million dollars but no obligation to deploy the full amount.​ Suleimenov stresses that, after the recent downturn across the crypto and broader digital asset market, the bank will only act when solid investment opportunities appear, relying on thorough analysis and not “running headlong” into crypto; for now, legal and infrastructure frameworks are prepared, but decisions are deliberately delayed until market conditions stabilize.

Tiësto returning to trance? Please, mother of God let this be true! I forgive you for every single shitty track you've put out the last 18 years if you give us that magik again. Please Tijs, please! ♥️

Lunatic Asylum - The Meltdown Very fitting choice of track considering the turmoil this week. This trance classic goes hard and fast just like the markets.

Rosalía - Berghain (feat. Björk & Yves Tumor) Now this is one piece of incredible music and video. Not sure how I'd describe the music. I guess it contains elements from different styles which are blended in a perfectly seamless way. Add different languages and one of the best videos for years. Pure dynamite!
