Hi everyone!
I usually don’t post this kind of stuff because it’s far away from the topic of this blog. But today’s experience needs to be shared.
My family send me a package from Spain to Germany via FedEx. 2 weeks later the package hasn’t arrived… So I decided to call FedEx Germany,… result:
- I had to wait 10 minutes to be able to talk to a human being
- Apparently the courier was at my front door. But I wasn’t there, so the package wasn’t delivered, but he neither left a notice / letter. So, how the f*** am I supposed to know that the package arrived??
- The person I had on the phone was very very rude.
Summarizing: I wouldn’t use FedEx Europe. I won’t do it.
Regards!
Javier

Hi all,
sorry for the long absence. I’ve been quite busy trying to find a room or apartment. It hasn’t been easy, but I finally got a bargain!
I found something for a lower price that I thought. 308€ all inclusive (bills + internet). In addition, I won’t have to share it. It is a 2-floor Bungalow fully furnished with bathroom and kitchen. It’s quite small (19 square meters), but very well distributed. You can see the exhibition bungalow to make yourself an idea, no need to say I have neighbours and I’m not fully isolated like the one in the picture.
Money needed urgently
I spent longer than I thought in finding a room / apartment and I haven’t spent enough time to find more little jobs to do. I’m running out of savings and I will need to find an income source quickly.
At least my only client (Spanish paper correction) is very satisfied and told me she would need my help later on and promised me to spread the word.
As soon as I settle and my move some staff to my new home, I’ll start taking care of “how to make some money”.
My cost of living
Since I’ll spend less than I thought in rent, I may be able to survive with less money than budgeted. Or maybe I can have a couple more of beers instead 
Best regards!
Javier

That would be almost a 3,6% yield if you buy the shares before 31st of March. You still have a couple of days to decide.

Hi,
7 days ago I recommended Santander as a potential bargain stock in the Spanish market. If you would have bought it at its lowest price on Friday 5th Feb and sold it today you would have made a 13,6% return on investment
But if you are patient enough you may make some more
Any idea who bought at 9,03 :)
See you soon!

International investors sold in the euro and European equities due to the sovereign-debt fear concerning the weaker European countries. Most of concerns are raised by the the PIGGS countries: Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain. Above all, Greece, Portugal and Spain.
I can understand the fear on the Spanish sovereign-debt regarding the reports delivered to Brussels and the doubts on the quickness of its economic recovery. But I’m a bit puzzled (and grateful at the same time, tomorrow morning it’s bargain time) that some companies showing a robust performance, even through all the economic downturn, have suffered important falls. One of this companies is Santander. Santander experienced today a 9,40% fall in its market valuation in the same day they declared that operating profit for 2009 was 0,7% higher than 2008, for UK only it grew 40% respecting 2008. Santander has become a global bank and 75% of its revenue comes from outside Spain, being Brazil, rest of South America and UK its biggest markets. With a healthy financial position Santander will grow the next years and has started to move in the Chinese market.
The Spanish stock market index (Ibex-35) following the sovereign-debt fear and the doubts on the economic Spanish recovery fell 5,94%. And let’s be honest, the situation is getting ugly for Spain and investing in Spanish Companies that operate majorly or exclusively in Spain would be a huge gamble.
But Companies like Santander and Telefonica with big amount of revenue coming from international markets are at the current price a good investment opportunity.
Tomorrow I’ll go shopping in the troubled Spanish Stock Market
