Stratocumulus with a garnish of cirrus, served over a thin altostratus reduction. Just enough sophisticated words to make the North Sea look like it has a LinkedIn strategy :)

Great 14th Zinneke Parade <~ the most Brussels event of all.
A joyful, messy, beautiful mix bringing out the best of our city.
Even the weather gods played along: sunshine during the whole parade, heavy rain before and after to wash away bitterness & splashing joy all over town.

Any beekeeper in my network who can confirm the birdhouse in my garden is hosting a nest of invasive Asian Hornets (Vespa velutina)?

Belgian PM @Bart_DeWever kicks off @febelfin Connect event with a joke on newly defined EBITDA:
Earning Before Iran Tariffs & Donald’s Announcements..
Consider who we (EU) want to depend on? Avoid vertical value chains and go for mutual dependence with trustworthy partners.

Belgian is part of “Friends of competitivenes” EU countries no longer waiting on 27 MS to be on the same page for one integrated market.
EU exports capital & imports innovative services (eg from USA hyperscalers).
So far, it’s ironic we got the brains, but missed out on AI..

Since there are no trains going through Brussels, I’m driving by car to Utrecht tonight. If you need a ride to Antwerp (or further to the Netherlands) let me know before 20h40 to score a free car pool ride.
Station Brussel-Zuid geëvacueerd door bommelding, treinverkeer ligt voorlopig stil

Great jazz night by Me’Shell Ndegeocello letting Justin Hicks (vocals) truly shine! Drummer Abe Rounds’ voice was revelation too. True musicianship from Chris Bruce (guitar) & Jake Sherman (keys) with an intimate “Imagine”. Wasn’t expecting such perfectly matching voices. #Bozar

Helping my sister move into her new home in Nîmes (as DIY brother). Forgot how southern light in February (crisp, already spring) makes everything look like a postcard. Not missing Brussels this weekend with 50 shades of grey and a sky that forgot “brightness” exists..

Note to self: Put those geraniums indoor before it snows next year (even if they keep blossoming in winter).. #Brussels

“You can’t time the market” but I do believe one can manage risk.
My AI-fueled Nasdaq & ETF run was extraordinary.
Too extraordinary for a passive long term investor.
This thread isn’t financial advice, but documenting my reasoning for going 50% cash to brace for a correction.

10/ As of 2026, a new Belgian tax regime will apply to capital gains realised from “normal management of private assets” on shares, ETFs, crypto,.. with a standard rate of 10% on realised gains (above a yearly 10k€ treshold) with exceptions for "large" shareholders owning >20%.

11/ This new capital gain tax will erode some of the compounding (interest) effect of those who manage their own "pension fund" and are typically hoping to offset gov induced inflation rates with interest(s) and yield.
