Investment strategies

My investment strategy for the next decade, will be:

• Security companies
• Medicine/biotech
• Renewable energy
• Food solutions
• Greentech (such as waste management)
• Base metals
• Peer-to-peer (such as joint partnership with cottage industries in developing countries)

Countries and markets of interest are (in no particular order):
Sweden, Denmark, USA, Brazil, Venezuela, China, Great Britain, Australia, Thailand, Russia, Africa, India.

For Denmark, keeping it simple in the beginning is crucial. Therefore, I'd simply :
a) Take a closer look at Ratos. Their investments in Denmark are in the private-equity market.
b) There should be a market for bio-energy and windpower. I would look for direct investment in start-ups.
c) Just for fun, I'll be following this one: Kortnavn: ADSERV

Object of desire III

I don't know if it's Darth Vader exactly, but still pretty cool! I could well imagine having this parked om my driveway. Just imagine: Just as my neighbour gets into his 5-series BMW that costs him a fortune to maintain, I pop into this little pod, and zip away before he's even coaxed his huge auto out of the drive...

The only thing I don't like about it is the price tag. Costing SEK 139 000 is about 50 000 SEK too much. Sales would go through the roof if it cost less. Also, it has to be available with leather and suede interior...

I just found a new blog. Go there, check it out!

Xmas present

Ok, here's at tricky one: Spot the Xmas present!
Hint: You can almost not see it.

Yes I know, that was easy. The Louis Ghost Chair by Philippe Starck is, at least in my eyes, a true icon. I'ts so cool that I will be sitting in it when I try to write that great new novel...

Hardware

I just received the strangest X-mas present yet: The latest number of Guns & Ammo. Toys for grown boys (with which to kill other grown boys with toys...).

"Pippispresso" -designed for IKEA

I also designed this espresso-brewer in 1997! I think it took about 20 minutes... Then I sold it to IKEA, who've never put it into production. At least it made me a lot of money, then!

Just found some of my old designs

I attended a course in AutoCad and 3DStudioMax back in 1997. I designed these during a coffee-break. I couldn't do it as quickly now, but if anyone's interested in marketing these, I still have the original files.

Object of desire III: The think OX

"Think is innovative through integrating technology into new and world-class solutions. We believe that the electric vehicle is the future of urban and sustainable mobility".

Yep, my view exactly!

Marooned on a sandy beach without my ship

Aye, there was a lot of sand! A great expanse, as a matter of fact. My parrot had flown it's coop, my ship had set sail without me an' just slipped o'er the horizon, and I felt like a pickled crab without a drink*. Anyways, I found myself gazing at the salty sea. What else could I do?










*(Pickled crabs like a stiff Mojito on occasion)

I think the stripes make it go faster...

We come in peace!

One Zoomer and a lot of sand

I rode my Zoomer (Honda Ruckus to all you americans) down to my
In-laws summer house, it's 100km one way. The distance is near perfect if you still want to keep just a little bit of cool upon arriving.

Anyhoo... I rode it onto the beach. Looked at the little quaint village at the far end of it, looked at the sea, smelled the breeze... Yep, a zen kind of moment can be had rather quick!

speed. Soundtrack by my musical guru Brian Eno

Celebrating Helsinki 458:th anniversary

This was my view from the dictatoresque waving-balcony on City Hall, Helsinki. I think the gentlemen in the foreground are Thai diplomats.

This was a genuinely surreal experience. I was attending by special invitation only, but I could not understand a single word anyone was saying. There was a cold platter buffé with fish of every imaginable variety, an unending supply of champagne...
I left the party with my brain trying to make connections to David Lynch movies. I walked home to my luxury hotel, housed in a former prison.
The windows in my room were seven feet up, and the walls seven feet thick.
I slept, well.

Celebrating Finlands 458:th birthday

This was my view from the dictator-esque waving

...and here's the family version

I think Russel made this just so that you have an excuse to get one even if you have a family...
