AND IT IS OUT! We have had enough reports saying Europe is stagnating. Change is not possible if we do not change the way the EU works. With Bengt Holmstrom and @competitionprof , I argue the EU should focus on prosperity and stop regulating everything. constitutionofinnovation.eu/

Alla löntagare är inte väl förberedda att göra viktiga placeringsval. Det är svårt att välja strategier och ännu svårare att bedöma kvaliteten på olika förvaltare, skriver @beckerbobo affarsvarlden.se/artikel/bo-…

Bo Becker: ”Många framtida pensionärer är ovana investerare”

Svenskar kan tacka sin lyckliga stjärna att pensionssystemet moderniserades för 25 år sen. Betyder det att allt är frid och fröjd? Nej. Alla löntagare…

I’m working with my CA colleagues to address the Silicon Valley Bank crisis. We must make sure all deposits exceeding the FDIC $250k limit are honored. Banking is about confidence. If depositors lose confidence on the safety of their deposits over 250k then we are in trouble.

"Kryptohandelsplatsen FTX var ena dagen värd miljarder dollar, för att nästa kollapsa och gå i konkurs. Hör du ett eko av Lehman Brothers? Eller Ivar Kreuger? Eller kanske finanskrisen 2008?", undrar Bo Becker @beckerbobo @FTX_Official affarsvarlden.se/artikel/kor…
