>>23298Try and pawn off most of your shitty stocks to some petty bourgeois type. Lie ruthlessly about his chances and keep some of the shit stock for yourself so that when you inveitably lose you lose with him. Dont tell him theyre your stocks, theyre a "friends".
After selling off your shit stocks go and invest in weapons firms and water speculation firms that own most of the American hemisphere's water supply in their pockets. The Amazon's water supply is a fucking goldmine I'm serious. Block the retard you swindled and gaslight any lose ends as best as you can.
After that see if you can move whatever assets you have into recession proof (historically) goods like art or whatever, lost 7k yesterday because of some shitty real estate bubble fucking up with my moves

>>23353Also crypto, as cringe as it is, still isnt taxed properly, so if you can move into the most stable shitcoins to preserve your value. Food production is also great, as well as overseas shipping. Make sure to invest in staples though, grain is through the roof (thakns putler). Also, the USA has sucessfully destroyed the EUs energy independence it had, so invest into USA's fossil exports. Theyre golden
No.23355
>>23353>invest in water speculation firmsRisky move, in the long run all water supply will be nationalized.
Once water becomes scarce enough, it becomes a tool for deciding over life and death, and then governments will take control of it. They won't let you have that power, you'll have a stock certificate, and they have men with guns.

>>23424Don't farmers still need potash from Russia and Belarus to make fertilizer? Canada alone doesn't have enough potash production for the whole world and I'm familiar with how the Canadians absolutely fucked over their own potash sector through privatization so I don't expect much long term planning or reserve capacity from them. As long as the companies comply with Western sanctions against Russia and Belarus there's a severe hard cap on how much food production can expand since farmers can't produce as much with fertilizer prices going up and the WEF fucking around with "organic" fertilizers to cripple food production. I mean all glory to based Lukashenko and our anti imperialist allies for inflicting pain on the West, but idk on a personal level how the business model of investing into Western food companies makes sense with farmers handicapped in so many ways.
I agree on investing in weapon companies for american imperialism gainsmaxxing and cryptocurrency for tax evasion; I already knew that. Tbh I'm going to hold onto my Chinese stocks anyways because I think they'll recover since the communists really need FDI inflows especially with zero covid hindering their economy. Outside of a Taiwan war which I don't view as particularly likely I should be gucci long term.

After playing this game for over 11 years I have only started really trying out spy outside of some niche applications like terrorizing the engineers in the Doublecross Intel room and I can now say with certainty that I now know true pain. What a horrible class.
No.26812
>>24518Spy is the most frustrating class of them all. Really hard to master and way less fun to play since Valve nerfed the spy's most effective weapons: the dead ringer and the ambassador. You can make a lot of damage if the other team sucks, but if they're pros, it's incredibly challenging.

stock tf2 was great because engineers couldn't make me use my entire magazine of stickies to destroy an NPC by hitting 2 on their keyboard
team fights were a lot slower and more methodical but people clustered around their medics and there was a lot more actual fighting when the rounds were slower
there was much less bullshit stalling, 5CP had a lot more back and forth because engineer was as originally intended, as in, demoman and soldier can actually blow up his shit
