I've been thinking about Chilean Isapres. Although I really am not an expert on their business model, I think they will have a very good Q2 and Q3 earnings and here is why: If your income is above a given treeshold, you have private health insurance, and knowing how thing works, you know that being ...

Following the online Remate Macal today.. Both these apartments in Providencia with a nice sqm but requiring some TLC sold by 7100UF, which converts to more or less 203 million pesos. What do you think? I see similar apartments selling new for 300 million pesos, so I'm not sure if these old appartme...

Yea, I am in a holding pattern now. not investing until there is a clear light at the end of the tunnel. when there is a light, assuming I am not on respirator or in a box, I am seriously considering going all in on the recovery. Not just stocks either, real estate, whatever. I'm on the same page, ...

Again, according to the historical patterns in other developed countries it's a normal situation when electoralism has failed the people.

I think the same, I don't care if my portfolio does not recover if I'm dead. I'm w...

Funny trivia, but one of Portugal's patient zero is a Chilean guy, writer Luis Sepulveda - he was the first identified by media. He participated on a literary conference in Oporto and was later diagnosed after returning to Spain (where he is a resident). https://www.bbc.com/mundo/amp/noticias-americ...

Peso at 832 today. Copper priced in dollars. Chile also lost the APEC conference and the environmental conference which ended up in spain. It's a tragedy. Talk about the baby with the bath water... I suspect we get a major selloff this afternoon, as no one wants to be holding a high risk position o...
