Dividend Dane: Inflation - It’s likely that inflation is on the rise, and that it’ll go above 2% annually for an extended period. Seen numerous economists expect a decade of an avg. inflation of 2,5 - 3.0%.

Lets just go with 2,5%.

How will that impact the way you think, both with regards to investing, and your FIRE plans (the math changes when inflation goes up by 66%).

Rafa Martinez Valera - my question: name a stock that you would love on your portfolio and you never bought because always seems too expensive

Tiago Diaz - Do you keep track of the hidden fx fees when you buy non-euro denominated stocks with degiro? If so, how do you calculate and register them?

I had a hard time keeping track of it, and it annoyed me that the numbers didn't match up, that I ended up leaving degiro over it...

Daniel - Hi guys, great work with your podcast! Question: How would you currently invest a lump sum of 30.000€/US$? How many dividend stocks would you choose/ how much would you invest in each?

Dividend Sjef - My question; I do my valuation, I set my margin of safety but sometimes, when stockprice hits value without my safety net, I just can’t control my emotions (and buy Winking face). ‘How’ do you handle this?
