    Kurze Klärung. Wie kommt der Finanzbrater drauf, dass sie nun mit dem Kauf einer ET KEINE Steuern mehr zahlen muss? :hae: ...... aber reicht 2 Steuererklärungen ein ....?

    Frag mich doch nicht sowas ?)

    Ich habe keine Ahnung.

    Hat sie mir heute morgen am Telefon erzählt.

    Ich hatte dann da so meine Einwände...aber... :wacko:

    Deswegen suche ich ja nach ,für sie nachvollziehbaren Gründen dagegen !


    Kann nicht sagen, dass ich von ihrer Idee begeistert bin. Hat sie auch gemerkt..

    Grosser Fehler, aber nun ist es passiert.

    Eigentlich sind immer die Mütter vom Balkan nach NewYork gejettet, um da zu entbinden. Fanden sie toll, wenn der kleine Slavic dann Amerikaner war .....

    Lies sich nicht vermeiden...wenn man dort eine zeitlang(mehrere Jahre) wohnt...

    Ich möchte den Steuerbrater keinesfalls nahetreten, aber der Tip ist ja sowas von alter Kamelle. Eigentumswohnung selbst/fremdgenutzt machen Weltenunterschiede in dr Betrachtung.

    Dann bist Du Teil einer "WEG", viel Freude mit den Usancen der Deutschen bzw der anderen Mitbewohner.

    Eine Eigentumswohnung ist die Hölle, weil Du in einem Boot mitschwimmst, wo alle mal nach links rennen und dann wieder nach rechts, oder nach hinten ....

    Sie soll fremdgenutzt /vermietet werden

    So Leute,

    ich brauche mal eure Hilfe.

    Tochter hat mit einem Finanzberater gesprochen.

    Der hat ihr ,um Steuern zu sparen empfohlen, eine Immobilie also Eigentumswohnung zu kaufen.

    ETFs , Aktien etc um sich anderweitig abzusichern

    kommt für sie nicht in Frage, weil nach eigenen Aussagen keine Bank das mit ihr macht, weil sie 2 Staatsangehörigkeiten hat. Ihre Zweite ist US. Keine Bank will den Trouble alles an die US Steuerbehörde melden zu müssen machen. Ihre Aussage!

    Bank in US kommt auch nicht in Frage, weil sie dann richtig in die Steuermühle dort gerät.

    Sie muss eh 2 Steuererklärungen angeben. Das reicht ihr schon so.

    Ihr Finanzberater hat ihr also deswegen eine Eigentumswohnung empfohlen.

    Sie kennt einen Kollegen, der das wohl schon letztes Jahr so gemacht.


    Jetzt meine Frage, ist das wirklich so, dass sie dann kaum bis keine Steuern mehr zahlen muss???

    Eigentlich zu schön, um wahr zu sein.


    Wenn möglich mit entsprechendem Link dazu.

    Denn nur: Ich hab das so gehört , wird sie nicht überzeugen.

    Wenn die Kurse in dieser Korrektur noch unter 4000 und unter 60 $ tauchen, dann haben wir bei COEUR die Riesenunterstützung von 13,7 USD (die vorherige "4"):!: das wäre in meinen Augen die Bastion und

    wäre ebenfalls eine Kurshalbierung. Hier würde ich meine Position nochmals ausbauen auf das Klumpen-

    risiko von 25 %. :)


    Ich habe nicht viel Ahnung von EW .

    Deswegen mache ich K.I.S.

    Keep it simple

    Und was ich in deinem und auch meinem Chart sehe...ist ein Doppeltop... :hae:

    The No.1 Way To Play the Rare Earth Crisis | OilPrice.com
    While China dominates 90%+ of rare earth processing, one small company has locked in the only fully non-Chinese supply chain in North America, just months…

    The No.1 Way To Play the Rare Earth Crisis

    By Tom Kool - Mar 24, 2026, 4:30 PM CDT


    In a typical Chinese rare earth processing plant, 200 workers move through a maze of massive chemical tanks, risking life and limb to produce the materials that power everything from fighter jets and missile components to cellphones.

    Hundreds of these facilities operate across China, and they give Beijing overwhelming control over the single most critical choke point in the modern industrial economy.

    More from Yahoo Scout

    What strategic advantages does REalloys' supply chain offer?

    What makes Saskatchewan's AI-powered processing plant different?

    How is REalloys breaking China's rare earth monopoly?

    Why are the Pentagon's 2027 procurement rules important?

    But now, in Saskatchewan, Canada, a hi-tech plant of engineers and chemists is beginning to break that monopoly.

    The facility is built around an AI enabled operating system that minimizes waste, reduces exposure to hazardous materials, and creates a cleaner, more secure processing chain.

    And one company has locked in exclusive rights to the vast majority of what that plant produces.

    That company is REalloys (NASDAQ: ALOY).


    It operates in the part of the rare earth supply chain that barely exists outside China - the step where strategic independence is actually won or lost.

    As President Trump pointed out, it isn’t rare earths that are critical to national security, it's the “rare processing” industry.

    Digging minerals out of the ground is relatively easy. Turning them into finished metals and alloys for fighter jets, drones, missile guidance systems, and advanced radar is something else entirely.

    That’s where Western supply chains break down, and where REalloys is fighting to make a difference.

    The company operates its own metallization facility in Euclid, Ohio, built on nearly a decade of R&D with the U.S. Department of Energy and Department of Defense. It also holds an exclusive offtake agreement with the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC), the government-backed group behind the AI-powered processing plant.

    Here’s how the chain works: SRC refines rare earth feedstock sourced from allied nations across four continents. REalloys takes delivery in Ohio, converts those metals into defense-grade alloys and magnets, and has confirmed contracts with the U.S. defense industrial base.

    Every critical step happens on North American soil - with no Chinese chemicals, no Chinese technology, and no Chinese capital.

    As REalloys’ Head of R&D, Andy Sherman, puts it: “Concentrates are commodities. Materials are commitments.”

    The Pentagon doesn’t buy rocks. It buys finished, defense-qualified materials.

    And that’s exactly what this supply chain delivers.

    How China Accidentally Created Its Biggest Competition

    When REalloys (NASDAQ: ALOY) processing partner began developing its first commercial rare earth separation facility, China controlled the overwhelming majority of global export technology. Following China’s 2020 export control law, access to that technology became restricted.



    So the team ultimately designed and built its own separation, control and automation systems domestically – establishing independent Western rare earth processing capability.

    What they ended up with was an alternative to Chinese technology with better output and without the supply chain risk.

    As a result, the facility has automated the most labor-intensive step of rare earth processing, separating up to 17 chemically similar elements into the specific rare earths you need.

    In a Chinese plant, this process requires over 200 workers managing chemical tanks and adjusting valves manually. The Saskatchewan facility was able to reduce this by approximately 80 workers and an AI that receives thousands of data points every second and can make the necessary adjustments that no human team could coordinate.



    The plant was deliberately built at about 25-30% the capacity of a full-scale Chinese commercial facility, essentially a demonstration plant to prove the technology. At a fraction of the size, however, it already has the capability to produce much higher purity metals and higher output than Chinese plants.


    Commercial production is expected to start in early 2027, once the plant reaches full production REalloys expects to receive approximately 460 tonnes of defense-grade rare earth metals per year. That material becomes the permanent magnets inside the next generation of Western defense systems like fighter jets, missiles, and drones.



    Why This Matters Right Now

    Most people have heard that China dominates the rare earths market, about 90% of the world's rare earths are processed there. What they haven't thought through is what that actually means when the supply gets cut off.

    Japan figured this out decades ago and built strategic stockpiles covering two to three years of national consumption. The United States, however, has stockpiled nothing. Neither has Europe.

    We've been running on just-in-time supply from a country that issues rare earth export licenses on a monthly basis. If Beijing is happy with you this month, you get your allocation. If they're not, they cut it.

    When China briefly restricted exports last year, a Ford plant was forced to shut down almost immediately. When Trump threatened 100% tariffs, China's response was simple: no more processed rare earths. Trump backed off very quickly.

    Now consider the effects on the military side. In 2024, Ukraine produced 1.2 million combat drones, every single magnet in every one of them was manufactured in China. An F-35 carries 435 kilos of rare earths. A next-gen U.S. destroyer needs 4.5 tons. A nuclear submarine needs 1.5 tons.

    Without a secure supply of these materials, none of those systems get built, which means China effectively holds a kill switch over Western defense production.

    The Pentagon knows it, too. That's why new procurement rules taking effect January 1, 2027, will ban Chinese-sourced rare earths from the entire U.S. defense supply chain, from the mine all the way through to the finished product.

    That means every defense contractor in the country will need a qualified, non-Chinese source. REalloys (NASDAQ: ALOY)is positioning to be that source.

    "1% Reliance on China Is 100% Reliance on China"

    There's a reality in the rare earth industry that most companies haven't fully reckoned with: 1% reliance on China is 100% reliance on China. If any single input in your supply chain comes from Beijing, your entire operation is one phone call away from shutting down.

    REalloys' supply chain has no Chinese inputs at any stage, processing technology, furnaces, chemicals, AI systems, or consumables. All of it is sourced outside China.

    Most of the competition can't say the same. You can mine rare earths in the U.S., build your own processing plant, and still be one supply disruption away from a shutdown.

    That’s because critical parts like graphite anodes need replacing several times a week, and right now they only come from China. Starting from zero, it would realistically take five to seven years to build what REalloys already has.

    What Makes This Opportunity Different

    REalloys has exclusive rights to defense-grade rare earth metals through the Saskatchewan facility, including the heavy rare earths, Dysprosium and Terbium, that dramatically increase a magnet's performance.

    Light rare earths go into washing machines and consumer EVs. Heavy rare earths, on the other hand, go into F-35 fighter jet engines and missile guidance systems. REalloys (NASDAQ: ALOY) plays the scarcer, more strategically critical end of the market, at a fraction of the valuation.

    Their Ohio facility converts those metals into finished alloys and magnets, and scaled production is expected to scale up to 18,000 tonnes per year of heavy rare earth permanent magnets. At that level, REalloys expects to become the largest producer of refined Dysprosium and Terbium outside of China.

    Washington has taken notice as well. REalloys has secured a $200 million letter of intent from the U.S. EXIM Bank. And the board reads less like a commodities company and more like a national security briefing, including a former Vice Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, the President of GM Defense, an executive formerly from top defense companies like Raytheon and Boeing, the former Premier of Saskatchewan, and the President of Palantir Canada.

    The Pentagon’s deadline is now months away, while competitors are still 5 to 7 years behind.

    REalloys (NASDAQ: ALOY) expects to be the only company with a fully operational, non-Chinese, mine-to-magnet supply chain when it arrives, powered by six people and an AI that outperforms plants with 80 workers on the floor.

    Despite what most believe, the rare earth story was never about who has the raw material in the ground. It's about who can turn the raw material into something the Pentagon can actually use, and right now, that answer is REalloys.

    Oil Plummets 8% as Trump Postpones Hormuz Deadline Threat


    Iranian media has claimed there had been no direct or indirect contact with President Trump.

    Early on Monday, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) appears to have signaled a shift in tone as the deadline set by U.S. President Donald Trump to reopen the Strait of Hormuz approaches, easing earlier threats against civilian infrastructure even as the energy standoff continues to tighten global markets.

    The Strait, effectively closed since late February following U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, remains the focal point of the crisis. Roughly 20% of global oil and LNG flows transit the chokepoint, and the disruption has already driven a sharp spike in crude prices and heightened fears of a prolonged supply shock.

    In a statement carried by regional outlets, the IRGC denied targeting desalination facilities in Gulf states and instead accused U.S. forces of striking water infrastructure on Iran’s Qeshm Island. The Guards warned that any U.S. attack on Iranian power plants would be an “inhumane act,” citing the cascading impact on hospitals, water systems, and critical civilian services.

    The messaging marks a shift from earlier threats issued over the weekend, when Iranian officials warned of sweeping retaliation, including mining large parts of the Gulf and targeting regional energy infrastructure linked to U.S. interests.

    At the same time, Tehran maintained that escalation remains on the table. The IRGC reiterated that if Washington proceeds with strikes on Iranian energy assets, it would respond by targeting power plants tied to U.S. operations in the region, along with broader industrial and energy infrastructure.

    So, heute früh geliefert worden, 2x Liebherr, angetrieben von 24kW Photovoltaik plus 44 KW Speicher.

    Rotgrün zwingt mich nicht in die Knie….👍🏻

    Liebherr :hae: ich hatte mir auch vor einigen Jahren einen Liebherr Gefrierschrank zugelegt.

    Selbstabtauend natürlich !

    Gehalten hat das Teil genau bis über die Garantiezeit. Hatte vorher eine Truhe, die mir aber zu unübersichtlich war und abgetaut werden musste aus Altersgründen ersetzt .

    Jetzt kommts: Kurz vor Weihnachten, vollgeknallt mit Turkey , Rinderfilet etc. fing das Teil mit einem mal an zu schreien, weil es die Temperatur verlor. Konnte man nicht stoppen, nur zugucken , wie die Temperatur runter ging.

    Alles zur Freundin in deren Truhe gepackt.

    Bei Liebherr angerufen. Fehler war bekannt. Das Teil vereisst. Damit ist der Motor stehen geblieben, mit den entsprechenden Folgen.

    Abtauen, mindestens 2 Tage richtig austrocknen lassen.

    Dann funzt er wieder. Mehr als nur ärgerlich

    Ergo muss ich jetzt spätestens nach 1 1/2 Jahren das Teil abtauen, sonst geht der Spuk wieder von vorne los. Kaputt geht der Schrank leider nicht ! Nur selbstabtauend hat sich erledigt. X(

    Man muss danach gründlcih lüften, um den Schwefelgeruch wieder raus zu bekommen.

    Der Schwefelgeruch kommt vom Laacher See (allerdings riecht man das nur an einer Stelle)...Bei deiner Aussage würde ich ja jedes mal an Madam erinnert werden, wenn ich dort meine 8 km Runde drehe... <X ...dort blubbern nämlich sogenannte Mofetten CO 2 Blasen.

    Eigentlich müssten die Klima Verrückten den See hermetisch abriegeln ...der stösst nämlich gut CO 2 aus... [smilie_happy]

    Zum Braten & Frittieren (hoch erhitzbar): Raffiniertes Rapsöl,

    Schon mal gehört, dass beim raffiniertem Rapsöl Transfette entstehen beim erhitzen, die alles andere als gesund sind???

    Öle, die man meiden oder nur in Maßen genießen sollte

    Palmöl & Kokosöl: Sehr reich an gesättigten Fettsäuren, was bei hohem Konsum negativ auf das Herz-Kreislauf-System wirken kann.

    Zu diesem Thema empfehle ich Michael Nehls : https://michael-nehls.de/infos/kokosoel/


    Wo hast du diese Weisheiten alle her?

    Und ohne nachzuforschen, ob das alles so stimmt, weiter verbreiten ist schon ne Nummer für sich [smilie_denk]


    Abgesehen davon geht es hier nicht um Öle zum backen, kochen etc.

    Alberta Separatists Ramp Up Efforts to Leave Canada After Trump Meeting

    By Alex Kimani - Feb 13, 2026, 4:00 PM CSTSeparatists aim to collect 177,000 signatures to trigger a 2026 referendum, citing frustration over federal energy, environmental and fiscal policies.Alberta controls roughly 97% of Canada’s oil reserves, but independence would leave it landlocked and outside existing trade frameworks.Economic risks include debt assumption, capital flight, trade renegotiations and potential energy sector instability.


    A right-wing group pushing the province of Alberta to secede from Canada has ramped up a petition campaign aimed at achieving independence after meeting with officials from the Trump administration. The group has already held three meetings with officials from the State Department, where they’ve discussed the logistics of a potential secession from Canada, including border security, switching over to U.S. currency and how their radical plan can benefit the United States. Volunteer canvassers have set a target to collect approximately 177,000 signatures, or 10% of Alberta’s registered voters, by May 2, the threshold required by law to push a citizen-led referendum to separate from Canada.

    If successful, the petition could trigger a formal referendum in October 2026. Alberta holds about 97% of Canada's oil reserves and produces the majority of its oil and natural gas, with the rest coming from Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Manitoba, and offshore Newfoundland and Labrador.

    Alberta separatism is not a new phenomenon, with secession efforts having begun back in the 1970s and 1980s and again from 2015–2016 onwards, heavily influenced by oil industry downturns and opposition to federal policies.

    The separatists primarily seek to leave Canada due to deep-seated frustration with federal energy and environmental policies, a feeling of economic injustice (specifically regarding equalization payments), and a desire for greater autonomy to manage natural resources. They feel alienated from Ottawa, arguing that the province's economic contributions are not appreciated.

    Many Albertans believe federal policies including carbon taxes, oil sands regulations, federal environmental regulations and climate policies "hamstring" Alberta's oil and gas industry. They believe an independent Alberta would have full control over its resources and could build pipelines more easily. A major complaint is that Alberta contributes significantly more to the federal treasury through taxes than it receives in services, which some view as unfair wealth transfer.

    A feeling exists that Alberta's conservative, resource-driven economy and culture are misunderstood or disrespected by central Canadian governments. Proponents of a secession want full control over Alberta's natural resources, believing that an independent, fiscally conservative Alberta would prosper without federal interference.

    The province holds only about 10% of seats in the House of Commons despite contributing 17% of Canada's GDP, leading to a sense of a power disparity. They argue that Western Canada has little to gain from the current confederation, advocating for a "Wexit" (Western exit) to form a new nation. Some factions advocate for joining the United States as the 51st state, seeking closer ties with U.S. energy markets and a more favorable political environment under Donald Trump.

    As of February 2026, polls indicate that ~29% of Albertans would vote for the province to leave Canada in a referendum, according to Angus Reid Institute and Ipsos, with roughly 65% of Albertans preferring to remain in Canada. However, of the 29% in favor, only about 8% are definite in their choice.

    However, separating from Canada would present some unique challenges for Alberta. Seceding from Canada would effectively landlock the province, creating severe economic, legal, and infrastructural challenges. As a landlocked country, Alberta would lose direct access to Canadian pipelines and ports, likely resulting in lower oil prices and reduced investments. The province would also lose unrestricted access to Canadian markets, requiring difficult, renegotiated trade deals with Canada and the U.S. An independent Alberta would lose access to all existing Canadian trade deals (like CUSMA/USMCA) and would have to negotiate new agreements from scratch without the collective bargaining power of a larger nation.

    Alberta would also inherit a significant share of federal debt (estimated at $71 billion) and face higher interest rates, alongside the astronomical costs of creating new government institutions, currency, and border controls. Citizens would face uncertainty regarding pensions, healthcare coverage, and security, losing the stability of the Canadian banking system and military.

    Separation would likely lead to intense, years-long negotiations with Canada, Indigenous Nations, and the international community, making the process complex and costly. Further, serious talks of separation could trigger energy companies to leave the province, as experienced during Quebec's separation debates, resulting in job losses and decreased tax revenues.

    Alberta is home to the lion’s share of Canada’s Oil & Gas giants, including Enbridge Inc. (NYSE:ENB), Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (NYSE:CNQ), Obsidian Energy Ltd. (NYSE:OBE), Suncor Energy Inc. (NYSE:SU), Cenovus Energy Inc. (NYSE:CVE), Pembina Pipeline Corporation (NYSE:PBA), Imperial Oil Ltd. (NYSE:IMO), TC Energy Corporation (NYSE:TRP), Baytex Energy Corp. (NYSE:BTE), ARC Resources Ltd. (OTCPK:AETUF Tourmaline Oil Corp. (OTCPK:TRMLF), Whitecap Resources Inc. (OTCPK:WCPRF), Cardinal Energy Ltd. (OTCPK:CRLFF), Keyera Corp. (OTCPK:PEYUF) and Tamarack Valley Energy Ltd. (OTCPK:TNEYF).
