You're absolutely right! I could be paid to recommend Mullvad and my praise of it should be taken with a grain of salt! The point I was trying to make is that it is not a small provider, it is well rated by reputable privacy reviewers

Yet Sven Taylor recommended ExpressVPN for years despite the fact that its ownership was quite suspect (secret). We've never fully known who was behind it and from where it was truly operated. The ranking of best VPNs on the site is mo

This is the most important question IMO. However, I'm not sure they do have that information. I would speculate that the number of people who make large option bets before earnings correctly on the same stock over multiple quarters sho

Salaries don't tell the whole story for an employer because you have to pay many more charges on top of the salary. For example in France, the "charges patronales" are about 60% of the salary before taxes. In the UK, the Nati

It's easy for someone who's not tax resident to pass a non-tax residency test? Isn't that a tautology? ;) Your understanding of what is a family test isn't correct either. If you have a boyfriend/girlfriend and you

Not really, if you spend 120-183 days in the UK, to not be a tax resident, you'd need to not have family there, not have a house/hotel for more than 90 days, nor work there for more than 40 days, nor have spent more than 90 days t

It's even more particular, but in practice, it does affect a lot of funds, if not a lot of people - which is why they legislated. One can move to a no/low tax jurisdiction and not be a Spanish tax resident as long as they're

That's not true. If you have an apartment in Croatia, or if your family lives in Croatia, you are a tax resident in Croatia even if you don't spend a single day there. https://www.oecd.org/tax/automatic-exchan

Tax residency is a very complicated matter but in general, you do not loose tax residency 183 days after leaving. In Spain, it takes 5 years before losing tax residency after you've left the country. In France, having your wife and chi

Being a citizen of Cyprus gives him visa free travel and work options in Europe. As he hasn't renounced US citizenship, he certainly isn't taking advantage of that for tax reasons. The article seems to imply otherwise, but that&#x

I agree with this and on top of it, the GDP per capita of the EU grew at the same pace as that of the US over the last 20 years only because poorer Eastern European countries are catching up to Western Europe. The GDP growth rates in France

There are so many misconceptions on this thread about what makes a good quant trading strategy. First of all, if you're shorting US equities and making 25% annually, that would be awesome. Heck, even being flat would be great because a

There is no spread when you trade at the open and the close. There could be slippage (you can create a market impact) but it would be minimal on sectorial ETF because they are extremely liquid.

I'd say more like a tariff, because you pay a 80% tax when you buy foreign goods (or pay an 80% tax when a foreigner sells good to locals).
