Weekly Mixtape #1

Yo Yo Yo Yo Yooooo, you know what time it is ….. it’s Weekly Mixtape time!!! 📼🔥
Welcome to volume 1 of your weekly overview of everything you do (or do not) need to know! Please spread the word - I’d appreciate it! 🫶 
And now… let’s go!! 🥁 

🦉 Let’s get started with some weekly wisdom

“Mailand oder Madrid, Hauptsache Italien!”
Andreas Möller

👋 What’s up world

• 🇸🇪 Sweden to join NATO: Hungary’s parliament approved Sweden’s bid to join the NATO after roughly 2 years of negotiations. Take that Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. 💪 (CNN)

• 🔤 Microsoft changed its font: Office changed its default font from Calibri to Aptos after 17! years. I know that you PowerPoint masochists out there already know this. But why Bill, why now??? (Ask him anything)

🤑 How to get rich or die trying

• 🚀 🌝 BTC Crypto to the moon: Another week, another crypto high. Plus, you have to keep listening to your annoying friend who keeps telling you: I told you bro, you should have bought BTC back in ‘09…

  • 📈 BTC’s all-time high sits at ~$69k. Let’s see when we raise the roof…

    

  • 🥇 BTC ETFs hit volume record of $7.6B, topping previous records.

• 🥣 Ocean’s 11 Granolas: You might have heard of the Magnificent 7 or Ocean’s 11, but have you heard of the 11 Granolas? Now you have. They are Europe’s answer to Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Nvidia & Tesla. They amount for 50% of StoxxEurope600 gains in the past 12 months but are a x3 (EBIT multiple) or x4,5 (Market cap) cheaper than their counterpart. So the next time you read about GSK, Roche, ASML, Nestlé, Novartis, Novo Nordisk, L'Oréal, LVMH, AstraZeneca, SAP & Sanofi think about this newsletter cereal the 11 Granolas… (MarketsCrunch)

• 👴 Oracle from Omaha: Our god has spoken. Operating earnings are up 21% YOY ($37B), cash is up 6.6% Q/Q ($167.6) and shares are up ~14% this year (BRK.A). After mourning the death of his friend Charlie Munger who died at age 99 last year in November he also gave an explanation why he is holding so much f****** cash: he just doesn’t want to overpay on his investments… I guess he’s smarter than all of us investing right now.

• 📈 Reddit files for IPO: And aims at a valuation of roughly $5B. That’s nice for a platform where some nerds just write whatever comes to their mind… + Sam Altman holds an 8.7% stake. Looks like everything he currently touches turns to gold. 🤖 (Bloomberg)

🍏 Steve Job’s diary

• 🔍️ Google > Bing: Duuhhh!!! Some of you might wonder what Bing is. All the others are being held captive in a corporate company that’s forcing them to use this useless tool. Apparently Microsoft offered Bing to Apple, but they declined due to search-quality issues. They could have saved that call to Tim Apple Cook. I could have told them straight away… 🤷‍♂️ 

• 🚗 Project Titan is dead: Apple’s not so secret but secret car project is finally dead. this time for real! (?). My advice Tim: If you don’t want anyone to know, don’t tell anyone 😉 
  In a nutshell: First Apple thought about buying Tesla, but then decided to rather build a car themselves than to integrate Tesla. Then they couldn’t really decide which way to go, and theeeeen they just couldn’t build a high-quality car at a proper price. (Apple Car Timeline) Shit happens when you party naked have too much cash in the bank ($166B). 🤑 

🏆 Yeaaaah buddy

• 🇫🇷 🐐 Zidane is the GOAT: Not the fake Ronaldo called CR7 or Messi (that does hurt to write), but Zidane was the best ever. According to Eden Hazard. I am willing to throw Thierry Henry in there as well. I’m sure you do have a take on this one. 🔥 

• 🛸 World’s fastest drone: Pretty cool video of the world’s fastest camera drone following a F1 Car (ft. Max Verstappen). 

• 👙 🐎 Equestrian wearing Mankini: Swipe right. Australia loves him. Not always a good sign 😎 Well check it out for yourself. 🍻 

🍿 … & chill

• ☀️ Dune Part II: I warned you last week that I would watch it. And I did. Is it better than Part I? You tell me. It’s different. More spectacular, more brutal, more grande, darker… I really enjoyed it! (Trailer / IMDB 9.1)

• 🇬🇷 🏀 The Greek Freak: If you are into sport documentaries, this is a must watch. Follow Giannis Antetokounmpo’s rise from being an immigrant without a passport in Athens to being a 2x MVP in the NBA. Very humbling and well told story. (Trailer, IMDB 8.5)

• 🐎 Equestrian Part II: Horses again?! Come on dude!!! Hey, listen up. If you weren’t into the Mankini thing earlier I have something for you now: Snoop Dogg & Kevin Hart commenting on equestrian… I bet there was not a single illegal substance involved in their preparation. 🍁 

🛖 Welcome to MTV cribs

• 🇺🇸 👴 Oval Office: Ever wanted to know where that old guy calling himself Sleepy Joe the President of the United States spends his day looking for stuff he misplaced and can’t find it?! Here you go. 🤯 

• 🌴🏠️ Tree house dreams: How does the perfect tree house where you spend your summer with your friends skating has to look like? Yes.

🧘 How to grow old or die trying

• 💪 120 Triathlons in 120 days: I can’t even work out 3 days in a row and this guy is doing what?! You heard right. After running a triathlon around the world (456 km swimming 🏊‍♂️ , 21.600 km cycling 🚴‍♂️ & 5.064 km running 🏃) Jonas Deichmann, the “German Forrest Gump”, has something even crazier planned. I’ll be watching the documentary afterwards from my cozy couch 🛋️
