eventyrhistorier.En: asks Soren, always admiring his neighbor for his adventure stories.Da: "Det er anderledes," svarer Niels med et smil.En: "It's different," replies Niels with a smile.Da: "Men jeg

juleforberedelser.En: Meanwhile, Niels persuades the shop owner in the bakery next door to help with their Christmas preparations.Da: Det, der kunne have været en katastrofe, bliver i stedet til en påmindelse om, at selv de stærkeste kan have brug for hjælp.En: What could have been a disaster instead becomes a reminder that even the strongest need help sometimes.Da: Katrine's hurtige indgriben

Niels' gamle flyder fyldt med juledekorationer, flyder en ny forståelse ind over det unge liv.En: With the warmth of community and Niels' old barge filled with Christmas decorations, a new understanding washes over the young life.Da: At spørge om hjælp er ikke et tegn på svaghed, men en styrke.En: Asking for help is not a sign of weakness but a strength.Da: Dette efterår i Nyhavn, ved kanten af kanalen, bliver til mere end bare en travl sæson.En: This autumn in Nyhavn, by the edge of the canal, becomes more than just a busy season.Da: Det bliver en tid til at lægge frygten bag sig og anerkende de bånd og relationer, der virkelig betyder noget.En: It becomes a time to leave fear behind and recognize the bonds and relationships that truly matter.

What happens when the data goes dark, yet markets barely flinch? In this episode, Niels and Katy unpack the month of October defined by missing economic releases, relentless equity strength and three extraordinary days of Liberation Day turbulence. They explore why price often tells the truest story, how total portfolio thinking could rewrite the role of trend, and why short term strategies faltered while precious metals surged. The conversation then shifts to the coming wave of alternatives in private wealth and the silent risk inside target date funds, asking how managed futures can reshape retirement outcomes when timing paths go wrong.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Katy on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps:00:00 - Introduction and catching up from Boston02:00 - Life without economic data and what markets really need04:20 - Price as the only truth and the limits of official data05:45 - CalPERS, total portfolio thinking and what it means for trend08:20 - AI, data centers and the inflation story hiding in electricity10:30 - Inflation regimes, unstable prices and why trend cares about change12:40 - Year to date trend review across equities, metals, FX and bonds15:10 - Why short term traders struggled in a headline driven year20:00 - Picking “the best strategy” and why robustness matters more than Sharpe24:10 - Parameters, speed of response and treating markets differently26:20

Sårbarhed er blevet det moderne erhvervslivs store udfordring. Hvordan bør man forstå sårbarhed, og hvordan kan man gøre sig mere robust, og måske endda udnytte sin sårbarhed offensivt?Niels Lunde taler med Line Hildebrandt Smith, senior vice president, Pandora, der for nylig blev kåret til Årets Bedste Supply Chain Leder 2025. 02.05: Sådan opstod erhvervslivets sårbarhed.11.35: Pandora som case.17.33: Du skal kunne tåle at blive ramt22.22: Du kan konkurrere på din sårbarhed.26.45: Told: Is i maven.35.40: Line Hildebrandt Smidths læring.42.00: Niels' opsamling.Producer: Peter-Emil Witt.

In deze aflevering duiken we met Niels de Jong in Psalm 38. Best een rauwe psalm, vol pijn en eerlijkheid.Over wat het met je doet als je zelf aan de basis staat van de situatie waarin je zit.Niet om jezelf te veroordelen, maar om het niet langer weg te stoppen.Om er licht op te schijnen. Wat doe je als je voelt dat het mis is gegaan, ook door je eigen keuzes? Psalm 38 zoekt in alle kwetsbaarheid naar verlichting, naar ruimte, naar God.

We spreken over de burger in de knel, over onderzoeksjournalistiek, over de publieke omroep, over Erik, Daphne en hun anderhalve kind. 

Florian bevindt zich in een lastige situatie met zijn 2 beste vrienden, Charlotte en Niels, die hij al sinds de middelbare school kent. Nu, begin 30, kunnen ze niet meer met elkaar overweg, maar ze lijken ook niet zonder elkaar te kunnen. Hoewel Florian er voor niets tussen zit, zit hij er middenin. Dat ervaart hij als heel ongemakkelijk. Relatiedeskundige Rika Ponnet geeft advies;

Danskere er som regel pinligt gode til at dyrke deres nationale selvværd gennem de landsmænd, som formår at skabe sig en karriere i det brændvarme, internationale stjernelys. Af alle danske skuespillere, der har gjort sig godt i filmverdenens højeste luftlag, tænker de fleste nok hurtigt på Mads Mikkelsen, Connie Nielsen eller Viggo "Gu' fa'en er han DANSKER!" Mortensen. Ikke os. Vi tænker nemlig enten på Svend-Ole Thorsen eller - som i nat - på en stanghøj kvinde fra Rødovre ved navn Gitte aka. Brigitte Nielsen aka. Brigitte Stallone aka. Brigitte Nielsen igen! Gazellen fra Vestegnen, der lagde Hollywood for sine fødder, er uden sammenligning en af de største Moviebox-stjerner vores lille, danske land nogensinde har affødt. Det kræver popularitet, storhed og Hollywood glamour, som hun leverede i 'Rocky 4' og 'Beverly Hills Cop 2', men det kræver også støvet bundskrab fra tilbudsgitteret nede på Esso-tanken, som vi skal dyrke i aften. Første Brigitte-film i aften kommer fra Niels, og han tager os med ud i rummet til 'Galaxis' (1995). Hvad er Galaxis? Det spørger alle om, ikke mindst Niels, og han har SET filmen. Ask bringer aftenens nok bedste bud på en kvalitetsfilm, når han tager os med til det barske Conan-univers, hvor Brigitte svinger sværd og stænger som kvindelig barbar i 'Red Sonja' (1985). Og så runder Sonny af med 'Mission of Justice' (1992), hvor Brigitte måske nok spiller en lille rolle, men som stadig fortjener at få sin dag i lyset... og så at blive pakket væk for evigt. Denne episode er optaget live foran et veloplagt publikum i Grand Teatret i august 2025, hvor vi fejrede vores seks års fødselsdag. En episk aften fyldt med fest og farver, som denne episode er et godt eksempel på. Også en aften, hvor vi igen fik lov til at møde alle jer lyttere, og det er altså svært ikke at blive benovet over jeres fortsatte støtte, til vores maniske besættelse af VHS. Især stor tak til vores Patreon-støtter, der som altid får en længere episode end alle andre - 10 minutter, for at være præcis. Og HUSK det nu: Spol båndet tilbage, når du er færdig! Med venlig hilsen, Casper, Niels, Ask & Sonny

In this episode of The Leadership Podcast, Niels Brabandt explores the decisive factor that determines whether hybrid work succeeds or fails: leadership quality. Drawing on new evidence from the MIT Sloan Management Review, Brabandt examines why hybrid work itself is not the real challenge — ineffective leadership is. He unpacks how executives fall into filter bubbles and echo chambers, how opinion replaces evidence in boardrooms, and why leaders who manage by presence rather than by performance undermine both trust and results. Listeners will gain practical, research-based insights on: How to design hybrid models that strengthen engagement and accountability. Why evidence-based leadership outperforms intuition and hierarchy. The role of culture, credibility, and competence in modern workplaces. How leaders can build organisations that thrive on flexibility and trust. Citing work by MIT Sloan and Professor Tsedal Neeley (Harvard Business School), Niels Brabandt connects academic research with real-world leadership practice — offering a clear roadmap for decision-makers navigating the future of work.

Hybride Arbeit ist kein Modebegriff, sondern die Realität moderner Organisationen. Dennoch scheitern viele Unternehmen daran, sie erfolgreich umzusetzen. Woran liegt das? Laut einer aktuellen Studie des MIT Sloan Management Review eindeutig an mangelnder Führung. In dieser Episode analysiert Niels Brabandt, Gründer und Inhaber von NB Networks, warum hybride Arbeit nur dort funktioniert, wo Führung exzellent, glaubwürdig und evidenzbasiert ist. Er zeigt auf, wie wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse – unter anderem von MIT Sloan und Professorin Tsedal Neeley (Harvard University) – die verbreiteten Irrtümer über Remote- und Hybridarbeit widerlegen. Sie erfahren in dieser Folge: Warum hybride Arbeit nicht das Problem, sondern ein Symptom schlechter Führung ist. Wie Filterblasen und Echokammern Managemententscheidungen verzerren. Welche Kompetenzen Führungskräfte entwickeln müssen, um hybride Teams erfolgreich zu führen. Warum die Arbeitsumgebung und Unternehmenskultur entscheidend sind – nicht die Anwesenheitspflicht. Wie wissenschaftliche Evidenz und praxisorientierte Führung zusammenwirken, um nachhaltige Leistung zu ermöglichen. Brabandt argumentiert klar: Hybride Arbeit scheitert nur dort, wo Führung versagt. Wer hingegen auf Vertrauen, Ergebnisorientierung und Evidenz setzt, wird langfristig produktivere, loyalere und innovativere Teams führen. Diese Episode richtet sich an Entscheidungstragende, Führungskräfte und HR-Verantwortliche, die Leadership im 21. Jahrhundert verstehen – nicht verwalten – wollen.

Niels Peder Ravn, der er medlem af borgerrepræsentationen i København for Konservative, er den kommunalpolitiker, der har Danmarks mest hadefulde kommentarspor på sociale medier. Det viser data fra Gravercentret, Danmarks Center for Undersøgende Journalistik. Mere end hver femte kommentar, der er skrevet indenfor de seneste tre måneder, har indeholdt et såkaldt sprogligt angreb, som fx kalder kommunalpolitikeren en "oppustet højreorienteret narrøv." Niels Peder Ravn mener ikke selv, der er tale om decideret "hadefulde kommentarer," og han er glad for, at han som kommunalpolitiker kan være med til at vække den slags følelser i folk. Og så indrømmer han, at han selv er med til at fodre Facebook-brugernes "indre svinehund." Værter: Laura Lin og Peter MarstalSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Finding Festive Magic: A Cozy Winter Book Launch Discovery Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-11-09-08-38-19-da Story Transcript:Da: Niels trådte forsigtigt hen ad Nyhavns brosten, mens han strammede sit halstørklæde.En: Niels stepped carefully along Nyhavn's cobblestones as he tightened his scarf.Da: Vinden var skarp og kølig.En: The wind was sharp and cool.Da: Ved siden af ham gik Sophie, der lod sig rive med af den glitrende udsmykning, der begyndte at pryde den gamle havns farverige huse.En: Beside him walked Sophie, who was caught up in the glittering decorations beginning to adorn the colorful houses of the old harbor.Da: Julen nærmede sig med hastige skridt.En: Christmas was approaching rapidly.Da: De arbejdede begge på et lille forlag og var blevet sat på en vigtig opgave: At finde det perfekte sted til en vinter-tema boglancering.En: They both worked at a small publishing house and had been tasked with an important mission: to find the perfect place for a winter-themed book launch.Da: Et event, der skulle ose af hygge og festlig stemning.En: An event that should exude coziness and festive atmosphere.Da: Niels var bekymret.En: Niels was concerned.Da: Han havde en detaljeret liste over mulige steder, alle omhyggeligt udvalgt for at sikre succes.En: He had a detailed list of possible venues, all carefully selected to ensure success.Da: Sophie, derimod, var mere spontan.En: Sophie, on the other hand, was more spontaneous.Da: Hun foretrak at lade sig føre af sin intuition.En: She preferred to be guided by her intuition.Da: Denne forskel skabte ofte gnidninger mellem dem.En: This difference often created friction between them.Da: "Hvad med den her?"En: "What about this one?"Da: Sophie pegede på et lille sted, halvt skjult bag en række julegraner.En: Sophie pointed to a small venue, half-hidden behind a row of Christmas trees.Da: Niels rystede på hovedet.En: Niels shook his head.Da: "Den ser for lille ud."En: "It looks too small."Da: "Kom nu, lad os bare kigge," sagde Sophie med et selvsikkert glimt i øjet.En: "Come on, let's just take a look," said Sophie with a confident glint in her eye.Da: Selvom han tøvede, besluttede Niels at stole på sin kollegas mavefornemmelse, bare denne ene gang.En: Although he hesitated, Niels decided to trust his colleague's gut feeling, just this once.Da: De gik indenfor.En: They went inside.Da: Rummet var en lille oase af varme og lys.En: The room was a small oasis of warmth and light.Da: Kronelys blinkede på rustikke borde og en pejs knitrede blødt i hjørnet.En: Candles flickered on rustic tables, and a fireplace crackled softly in the corner.Da: Dekorationerne var en perfekt blanding af traditionelt og moderne, og stedet udstrålede præcis den atmosfære, de havde håbet på.En: The decorations were a perfect blend of traditional and modern, and the place exuded exactly the atmosphere they had hoped for.Da: Niels var overrasket.En: Niels was surprised.Da: Han kunne mærke en tung vægt løfte sig fra sine skuldre.En: He could feel a heavy weight lifting from his shoulders.Da: "Jeg indrømmer, det her er perfekt," sagde han og kiggede på Sophie.En: "I admit, this is perfect," he said, looking at Sophie.Da: Hun smilede bredt.En: She smiled broadly.Da: "Nogle gange skal man bare følge sin mavefornemmelse."En: "Sometimes you just have to follow your gut feeling."Da: Fra det øjeblik lærte Niels at give slip på sin perfektionisme, i det mindste af og til.En: From that moment, Niels learned to let go of his perfectionism, at least now and then.Da: Sammen gik de ud i den kølige eftermiddagsluft, tilfredse med deres opdagelse og lettere om hjertet.En: Together they stepped out into the cool afternoon air, satisfied with their discovery and light-hearted.Da: Nyhavns liv og lyde omfavnede dem, og Niels vidste nu, at den bedste plan nogle gange er den, der ikke er planlagt.En: Nyhavn's life and sounds embraced them, and Niels now knew that the best plan is sometimes the one that isn't planned.Da: Det var en ny begyndelse, hvor samarbejde og tillid blev nøgleordene.En: It was a new beginning, where collaboration and trust became the keywords.

Dit weekend vinden in het Belgische Middelkerke de Europese kampioenschappen veldrijden 2025 plaats. Uiteraard staan we daar in de WielerFlits Podcast uitgebreid bij stil, maar er is nog zo veel meer. Onder meer de grootste vijf transfers van dit jaar en de kansen voor Unibet Rose Rockets op de Tour de France passeren de revue.Met dat laatste onderwerp starten Maxim en Youri. We hebben namelijk onze eigen CyclingFlash-ploegratings erbij gepakt en constateren dat Unibet Rose Rockets overall op dit moment het beste is van de zeven ProTeams die hopen op een Tour-wildcard. Cofidis, Q36.5 Pro Cycling en Tudor Pro Cycling hebben al een gegarandeerde wildcard voor de Tour de France 2026 bemachtigd. Dat betekent dat de organisatie nog twee extra tickets mag uitdelen. Zeven ProTeams komen daarvoor in aanmerking, maar Unibet Rose Rockets heeft de beste papieren.Ook proberen onze mannen alvast de contouren van een eventuele Tour-selectie te vormen, waarbij ze vaststellen dat het Franse ProTeam met Nederlandse roots tenminste nog één renner moet aantrekken met ervaring in grote rondes. Daarna schakelen ze over naar de vijf grootste transfers van deze winter. Remco Evenepoel lijkt dat te zijn, maar toch gaan onze mannen daar niet in mee. In de podcast leggen ze uit waarom én hoor je dat een andere renner zich de komende weken misschien nog wel in dat rijtje kan gaan voegen. Luister snel en je bent mee.Maxim en Youri staan ook stil bij de genomineerden voor Wielrenner van het Jaar, waarbij Youri in ieder geval al zijn stemmen weggeeft en daarin best veel bijval van Maxim krijgt.

Forrige episode med 'Glemmekassen' var den perfekte start. Det var sikkert, hyggeligt, lunt og rart. Med andre ord absolut ikke særlig Movieboxet. Er sæson 11 overhovedet kommet rigtigt i gang? Nej, ikke endnu, men spænd hjelmen, for denne uges episode folder virkelig sejlene ud på vores hærdede skude HMS Moviebox, der bringer os videre i vores uendelige VHS-odyssé. Og som fire VHS-Odysseus'er møder vi også mange ikoniske video-myter og -monstre på vores vej, men hvordan det er lykkedes os at undgå denne episodes tema er nok det største mysterium af alle: BYTTE-BYTTE KROP! Niels lægger ud på den støvede hylde med Dansk film, hvor han finder den danske sci-fi-thriller 'Farligt Venskab' (1995), hvor den danske Mr. Moviebox him self, Ulf Pilgaard, skal spille en 15-årig teenager. Det er dansk 90'er-uhygge, når det er allermest dansk. I vanlig stil tager Sonny en film med, der er god på 4-stjerner-måden. Han serverer nemlig den trygge og ufarlige Blake Edwards-komedie 'Switch' (1991). En mandschauvinist lærer en hård lektie, da han vågner op i Ellen Barkins krop og nu skal håndtere sin totalt forvirrede bedste ven (TV's Jimmy Smits). En ægte Beverly Hills Club-klassiker. Og netop som vi tror, aftenen er faldet til ro, kører Ask videobussen direkte ud over afgrunden med det ubestridelige mesterværk 'The Thing with Two Heads' (1972). Aldrig har en titel løjet så lidt. En rig, hvid racist får sit hoved transplanteret på kroppen af en sort mand og en lavine af dybt politisk ukorrekt 70'er-galskab følger. Det bliver en aften, du sent vil glemme, uanset hvilken krop du vågner op i i morgen. Det var alle de Pringles-dåser vi havde til jer denne gang, men HUSK: Spol altid episoden tilbage, når du har lyttet færdigt! Med venlig hilsen, Ask, Sonny, Niels & Casper

In this episode of The Leadership Podcast, Niels Brabandt, Founder and Owner of NB Networks (London | Zurich), explores one of the most pressing challenges for today's leaders: When does a strong opinion become a leadership asset – and when does it turn into a liability? In a world dominated by loud voices and instant expertise, leaders face a crucial task: separating conviction backed by evidence from confidence fuelled by ego. This episode provides a clear framework for evaluating opinions and decision-making processes in complex organisations. You will learn: Why freedom of speech does not mean freedom to dominate the conversation, How to identify and avoid the trap of false balance in discussions and decision-making, How to apply the Four Es Framework – Evidence, Education, Experience, Eloquence – to assess the credibility of strong voices, Why eloquence without substance can be more dangerous than silence, And how to build an organisational culture that values informed conviction over empty confidence. This episode challenges decision-makers to think critically about the voices they amplify – and the opinions they ignore. Because in leadership, not every strong opinion deserves a strong platform. Niels Brabandt is an international expert on Sustainable Leadership, Organisational Development, and Business Ethics. He is the Founder and Owner of NB Networks (London | Zurich) and works globally as a speaker, trainer, consultant, coach, and mentor. His weekly formats – The Leadership Letter, The Leadership Podcast, and The Leadership Videocast – reach a worldwide audience of senior executives and decision-makers.

In dieser Episode von The Leadership Podcast spricht Niels Brabandt, internationaler Leadership-Experte und Gründer von NB Networks (London | Zürich), über ein Thema, das aktueller kaum sein könnte: Sind starke Meinungen gefährlich oder unverzichtbar für erfolgreiche Führung? Immer mehr Menschen äußern sich mit großer Überzeugung – aber ohne tiefes Wissen. Für Führungskräfte entsteht damit ein Dilemma: Wie erkennt man, ob eine starke Meinung auf Kompetenz beruht oder nur auf Lautstärke? Brabandt analysiert die psychologischen, kommunikativen und organisationalen Mechanismen hinter starken Ansichten und zeigt, warum Führung keine Bühne für unbegründete Meinungen, sondern eine Plattform für fundierte Argumente sein sollte. Sie erfahren: Warum Freiheit der Meinung nicht automatisch ein Recht auf eine Plattform bedeutet, Wie man die „falsche Balance" im Diskurs erkennt – und vermeidet, Welche vier Faktoren (die „4 E's") jede Meinung glaubwürdig machen: Evidenz, Education, Experience und Eloquenz, Warum Eloquenz nützlich, aber gefährlich werden kann, Und wie Organisationen eine Kultur schaffen, in der starke Meinungen nur dann zählen, wenn sie Substanz haben. Ein Pflicht-Impuls für alle, die führen, entscheiden und Verantwortung tragen – in Unternehmen, Organisationen und Institutionen. Denn: Starke Meinungen sind nur dann wertvoll, wenn sie auf Wissen, Erfahrung und Haltung beruhen. Niels Brabandt ist Gründer und Inhaber von NB Networks (London | Zürich). Er gilt international als Experte für nachhaltige Führung, Organisationsentwicklung und Business-Ethik. Seine wöchentlichen Formate – The Leadership Letter, The Leadership Podcast und The Leadership Videocast – erreichen Führungskräfte und Entscheidungstragende weltweit.

Iedere fotograaf twijfelt. Over die ene foto. Over je stijl. Over of het “wel goed genoeg is”. In deze aflevering hebben je fotografievrienden Niels en Michiel het over zelfvertrouwen – of beter gezegd: het gebrek daaraan. Want het hoort erbij. Twijfel is normaal. Maar hoe zorg je dat je toch je eigen keuzes blijft maken?

The moment that stayed with him began at a marketplace where sales dashboards showed 40% gross margin—yet finance closed the books at 20%, Boon tells us. The gap, he discovered, lived in the shadows: rebates, discounts, and “free” services that never touched operational metrics. He manually traced economics to the client level and found margins many considered healthy were thin—or nonexistent. One customer representing roughly 30% of revenue delivered 0% gross margin, Boon tells us.That scene explains his broader path. He started in London investment banking “working on deals 24/7,” then spent five years at McKinsey across Europe on corporate finance and strategy. At Zalando he founded Strategic Finance to ready the company for IPO—tightening the P&L and working capital. Hypergrowth taught him that unchecked hiring breeds overlap and data drift, so ownership and reporting must evolve with scale, Boon tells us.He gravitates to complexity. At his current company—public since 2021 and combined with a U.S. competitor bought for “about a billion USD”—systems sprawl and legacy platforms made accuracy difficult while two-thirds of revenue came from the U.S., across 130 countries with people in 14, Boon tells us. He cut legal entities from 28 to 14, moved to one ERP, and shortened the monthly close from “15 days” to “five or six days,” Boon tells us. Two efficiency programs, a 120 million refinancing, and a rights issue 60% oversubscribed rebuilt credibility.Back at the marketplace, he installed a pricing director reporting to finance, killed blanket rebates, and tied commissions to net revenue. Within 12 months, margin rose from 20% to 40%, Boon tells us—proof that disciplined economics, not dashboards, drive durable turnarounds.

On this episode of The Business of Watches Podcast we drop in on Niels Eggerding, the CEO of Frederique Constant (and sister marque Alpina), at the brand's headquarters in Plan-les-Ouates, Switzerland near Geneva. Eggerding has been in the corner office since 2018 and has steered FC through a series of challenges and triumphs during his time leading the company. The Dutchman has brought more high horology and cool collaborations to the value and volume-driven brand, including perpetual calendars and tourbillons as well as more precious-metal cases. But it's a delicate balance for Frederique Constant as value-priced watches still account for more than 90% of its production volumes. Amid rising input costs and a strong Swiss franc, not to mention the challenge of U.S. tariffs, Eggerding's biggest challenge is maintaining FC's value proposition while burnishing its reputation as a serious watchmaker able to produce high-end timepieces. At the same time, he has to keep delivering sales and profit for the brand's owner, Citizen of Japan.  On this episode of The Business of Watches Podcast, we drop in on Niels Eggerding, the CEO of Frederique Constant (and sister marque Alpina), at the brand's headquarters in Plan-les-Ouates, Switzerland, near Geneva.We hope you enjoy our conversation with Niels Eggerding.

roller coasters?"Da: spurgte Mathias med et glimt i øjet.En: asked Mathias with a twinkle in his eye.Da: Han var altid klar til en sjov oplevelse og elskede Halloween.En: He was always ready for a fun

så er der tid til både rutsjebaner og lækkerier."En: "We'll hit the Halloween attractions first, and then there will be time for both roller coasters and treats."Da: Astrid kiggede lidt nervøst.En: Astrid looked a bit nervous.Da: "Jeg har hørt, at rutsjebanerne er temmelig høje," sagde hun stille.En: "I've heard that the roller coasters are quite high," she said quietly.Da: Astrid blev altid lidt nervøs, når det kom til højder.En: Astrid always got a bit nervous when it came to heights.Da: "Du behøver ikke tage dem, hvis du ikke har lyst," forsikrede Niels.En: "You don't have to go on them if you don't want to," assured Niels.Da: "Der er masser af spændende ting at lave."En: "There's plenty of exciting things to do."Da: Da de ankom til Tivoli, mærkede de straks stemningen.En: When

fremad.En: Mathias was a bit ahead and waved them forward.Da: Spændingen steg, da de endelig trådte ind i det dunkle rum fyldt med uhyggelige lyde og overraskelser.En: The excitement mounted as they finally stepped into the darkened room filled with eerie sounds and surprises.Da: Astrid tog en dyb indånding, mens de bevægede sig gennem rummets skræmmende kroge.En: Astrid took a deep breath as they moved through the room's scary corners.Da: Da de nåede udgangen, var hendes smil stort og tilfreds.En: When they reached the exit, her smile was big and satisfied.Da: "Det var slet ikke så slemt!"En: "It wasn't that bad at all!"Da: sagde hun.En: she said.Da: Med spøgelserne bag sig, bevægede de sig videre til de forskellige boder og dekorative haver.En: With the ghosts behind them, they moved on to the various booths and decorative gardens.Da: Niels var glad for at se Astrids selvsikkerhed blomstre.En: Niels was happy to see Astrid's confidence blossom.Da: Solen gik ned over de

planlagt, var dagen en succes, fordi de havde været sammen og skabt minder.En: Niels had realized that even though not everything went as planned, the day was a success because they had been together and created memories.Da: I takt med at de forlod parken, blev en ny selvtillid og forståelse født fra de Halloween-fyldte oplevelser.En: As they left the park, a new confidence and understanding was born from the Halloween-filled experiences.Da: "Næste gang, måske en lille rutsjebane," sagde Astrid skælmsk.En: "Next time, maybe a small roller coaster," said Astrid mischievously.Da: Niels smilede bredt, lettet og mere inspireret end nogensinde.En: Niels smiled broadly, relieved and more inspired than ever.

"We're back, Mortimer!" Sæson 11 er hermed i maskinen, og vi starter et helt nyt sted: Vi åbner nemlig glemmekassen. Det er den der snavsede plastikkasse bagerst i videobutikken (eller på SFO'en), fyldt til randen med alle de film, vi af uforklarlige årsager har glemt at tale om. Det er de åbenlyse klassikere, de personlige hjertebørn og de titler, der egentlig burde ha' været med for længst. Aftenens menu er den perfekte tretrins-raket, der starter pænt, dykker ned i ægte kult og slutter et sted midt imellem med fuld smadder. Ask får æren af at skyde løjerne i gang og tager os med til Toontown med en film, der vitterligt er en del af vores film-DNA: 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' (1988). Det er Zemeckis i teknisk topform, film noir forklædt som tegnefilm, og et magisk stykke filmhistorie. Niels følger trop og hiver os væk fra Hollywoods A-liste og direkte ned i atomaffaldet med filmen, der forklarer alt om hans filmsmag: 'The Toxic Avenger' (1984). Hør oprindelseshistorien om, hvordan han så den som 9-årig, troede den var mainstream, og blev formet for livet af Troma-snask. Sonny runder aftenen af og rammer den perfekte balance med 'Ricochet' (1991). Her møder Denzel Washington med en frisk Oscar i baglommen John Lithgow, der har skruet psykopat-knappen op på 11 og knækket den af. Tusind tak til alle jer, der lytter med, og en helt særlig tak til jer i Klub Moviebox, der holder liv i maskineriet og finansierer vores VHS-rens. Tak for støtten! Og HUSK: Spol altid episoden tilbage, når du har lyttet færdigt! Med venlig hilsen, Ask, Sonny, Niels & Casper

Een lege ruimte. Vier muren. En een droom. Maar wat heb je nou écht nodig om een goede fotostudio in te richten? In deze aflevering praten je fotografievrienden Niels en Michiel over de keuzes, valkuilen en creatieve oplossingen bij het opzetten van je eigen studio.We hebben het over licht (natuurlijk of flits), over sfeer (clean of karakter), over kleur (alles wit of juist rauw en industrieel) én over het plezier van improviseren met wat je hebt.

Richard Brennan returns this week to explore how markets truly move - not through randomness or rationality, but through impact, feedback, and memory. What begins with a single trade builds into structure, not pattern; alignment, not noise. Drawing from neuroscience and fractal geometry, Rich challenges the idea that markets can be understood without understanding interaction. The episode builds toward a pointed exchange on position sizing - closed equity versus dynamic exposure - not as a technical footnote, but as a reflection of first principles. In a system where the path shapes the outcome, how you define risk... often reveals how you think the world works.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Rich on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps:00:00:00 – Welcome to the Systematic Investor Series00:00:23 – Niels' intro, show setup, and warm welcome to Rich00:00:57 – Heatwave down under: context and small talk00:02:10 – Rich: divided brain, AI vs embodiment, and markets needing rules00:07:50 – AI's edge shrinks prediction windows; why that helps trend following00:10:35 – Gold's violent selloff; electricity vs oil as the new macro lens00:14:51 – “Trend heaven”: why the backdrop now looks robust00:18:12 – Post-GFC compression vs today's decoupling and trends00:22:43 – Impact and reflexivity: trades reshape the next trade00:28:23 – Non-ergodic markets: path dependence beats Gaussian assumptions00:35:48 – Volatility ≠...

Scherpte is overrated. In deze aflevering duiken je fotografievrienden Niels en Michiel in het bewust gebruik van beweging en onscherpte. Van intentional camera movement (ICM) tot panning, van trage sluitertijden tot expres nét verkeerd scherpstellen: als het maar een verhaal vertelt.We bespreken het verschil tussen bewuste artistieke keuzes en gewoon mislukte foto's, en hoe je leert herkennen wanneer onscherpte iets toevoegt. Want soms zegt een vage vlek meer dan een pixel-perfect plaatje. Beweging kan sfeer geven, spanning, emotie - als je maar weet wat je doet (of het in elk geval zo laat lijken

Nigol Koulajian, founder of AlphaQuest rejoins Niels and Alan for a conversation about markets shaped less by fundamentals than by perception. As political influence deepens and volatility is managed rather than discovered, traditional risk signals lose meaning. Sharpe ratios climb not through edge, but through exposure to hidden fragilities. Diversification is narrowing. And while systematic strategies continue to hold their line, the forces around them are shifting - slowly, structurally, and with consequences. This episode is about recognizing imbalance in real time, resisting the comfort of consensus, and asking whether today's apparent stability is masking tomorrow's risk.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps:00:32 - Introduction to our special guest01:57 - How did the economy end up the way it is today?09:15 - Is it just a cycle?19:46 - What is the end game?23:47 - A short masterclass on skew and convexity31:45 - How trend following has changed over time39:18 - Should you optimize your portfolio from a short or long term perspective?45:19 - How Nigol navigates the strong headwinds for CTAs53:04 - Turning the risk of pod shops into opportunities56:06 - When will we revert to a more "normal" environment?Copyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment...

Transcript:Da: I skumringen af en efterårsaften traskede Niels gennem de farverige blade, der dækkede fortovet foran hospitalet.En: In the twilight of an autumn evening, Niels trudged through the colorful leaves that covered the sidewalk in front of the hospital.Da: Det var næsten Halloween, og hans taske var fyldt med små græskar og slikposer.En: It was almost Halloween, and his bag was filled with small pumpkins and bags of candy.Da: Den kolde brise rev i hans jakke, men Niels lod sig ikke distrahere.En: The cold breeze tugged at his jacket, but Niels wasn't distracted.Da: Han havde ét mål: at bringe lidt glæde ind i Sofies liv.En: He had one goal: to bring a little joy into Sofie's life.Da: Afdelingen, hvor Sofie boede, lå stille hen, når han tog elevatoren op.En: The ward where Sofie stayed was quiet as he took the elevator up.Da: Luften i korridoren var tung af medicinens duft, men den lille fællesstue var lyst op af varme orange farver og små græskar, som Anders, den venlige sygeplejerske, allerede havde sat frem.En: The air in the corridor was heavy with the scent of medicine, but the small common room was lit up with warm orange colors and small pumpkins that Anders, the friendly nurse, had already put out.Da: "Sofie elsker efteråret," sagde Anders med et smil, da han så Niels træde ind.En: "Sofie loves autumn," said Anders with a smile when he saw Niels step in.Da: "Lidt pynt kan gøre en stor forskel."En: "A little decoration can make a big difference."Da: I sofahjørnet sad Sofie.En: In the corner of the sofa sat Sofie.Da: Hendes øjne var tynget, men de skinnede svagt i lyset fra det lille græskar på bordet foran hende.En: Her eyes were weary, but they shone faintly in the light from the small pumpkin on the table in front of her.Da: Niels satte sig roligt ved hendes side og tog hendes hånd.En: Niels sat down quietly beside her and took her hand.Da: "Hej Sofie," sagde han blidt.En: "Hi Sofie," he said gently.Da: Det var ikke nødvendigt at sige mere i øjeblikket.En: There was no need to say more at the moment.Da: Mens de sammen gjorde klar til den lille fejring, kunne Niels mærke Sofie åbne sig lidt efter lidt.En: As they prepared for the small celebration together, Niels could sense Sofie opening up little by little.Da: De snakkede om gamle dage, om Halloween-festerne i deres barndom, da de skar græskar og klædte sig ud.En: They talked about the old days, about the Halloween parties in their childhood when they carved pumpkins and dressed up.Da: Sofie smilede kortvarigt, og det var et lille tegn på håb.En: Sofie smiled briefly, and it was a small sign of hope.Da: Anders dukkede op med varm kakao og satte sig med dem.En: Anders appeared with hot cocoa and sat with them.Da: "Nogle gange er det de små ting, der har størst betydning," sagde han, og Niels nikkede forstående.En: "Sometimes it's the little things that mean the most," he said, and Niels nodded in understanding.Da: Mens natten faldt på, badede de små lygter fællesstuen i et mildt skær.En: As the night fell, the small lights bathed the common room in a mild glow.Da: Sofie talte endelig om sin frygt og ensomhed, og Niels lyttede opmærksomt.En: Sofie finally spoke about her fears and loneliness, and Niels listened attentively.Da: Det var som om, noget i hende løsrev sig, og hendes ord flød lettere.En: It was as if something within her was released, and her words flowed more easily.Da: "Jeg er bange, men jeg vil prøve," sagde hun med en skrøbelig, men beslutsom stemme.En: "I'm scared, but I'll try," she said with a fragile yet determined voice.Da: Niels klemte hendes hånd og sagde, "Du er aldrig alene.En: Niels squeezed her hand and said, "You are never alone.Da: Vi klarer det her sammen."En: We will get through this together."Da: Denne aften, omfavnet af Halloweens enkle glæder, fandt Sofie en gnist af mod.En: That evening, embraced by the simple joys of Halloween, Sofie found a spark of courage.Da: Da Niels forlod afdelingen med Anders ved sin side, følte han, at de endelig havde skabt en vej fremad, en indre styrke i Sofie, der var begyndt at vokse.En: As Niels left the ward with Anders by his side, he felt that they had finally created a path forward, an inner strength in Sofie that had begun to grow.Da: Det var en beskeden begyndelse, men alligevel en magtfuld transformation.En: It was a modest beginning, yet a powerful transformation.Da: Noget ændrede sig også i Niels.En: Something changed in Niels as well.Da: Han indså vigtigheden af at være der for Sofie, samtidig med at han skulle tage sig af sig selv.En: He realized the importance of being there for Sofie, while also taking care of himself.Da: Det var en kraftfuld balance, han skulle lære.En: It was a powerful balance he needed to learn.Da: Da Niels trådte ud i natten, kærtegnede vinden blidt hans ansigt.En: As Niels stepped out into the night, the wind gently caressed his face.Da: Hans hjerte var lettere, fyldt med håbet om, at kærlighed og vedholdenhed kunne lysne selv de mørkeste dage.En: His heart was lighter, filled with the hope that love and perseverance could brighten even the darkest days.

Miriam van der Lubbe is ontwerper. In 1998 richtte ze, samen met Niels van Eijk, het ontwerpbureau 'Van Eijk & Van der Lubbe' op. Ook is ze medeoprichter van de Dutch Design Week (DDW), waar ze sinds 2022 de rol van Creative Head vervult. Dit jaar vindt de Dutch Design Week plaats van 18 tot 26 oktober, met het thema ‘Past. Present. Possible'. Ook is Van der Lubbe gastcurator bij het Van Abbe museum voor de designtentoonstelling ‘BridgingMinds'. De tentoonstelling onderzoekt hoe design bijdraagt aan het oplossen van maatschappelijke problemen. Van der Lubbe brengt zo'n 100 werken samen van ontwerpers en kunstenaars.  Femke van der Laan gaat met Miriam van der Lubbe in gesprek.

Gold is ripping, but it's not about inflation. It's about trust - or the slow erosion of it. Mark Rzepczynski returns to map out the shifting terrain as central banks quietly step away from sovereign debt and build reserves in metal, not paper. Niels presses on what this says about safe assets, liquidity, and the narratives we've long taken for granted. They unpack the rise of short-term options, the distortive power of retail flow, and the fragility buried inside modern plumbing. And as trend followers chase edge in crowded markets, Mark offers a glimpse into what comes next: networks, feedback loops, and systems that learn - until they break.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Mark on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps:01:34 - What has been on our radar recently?05:43 - Is this time different for gold?14:13 - Just a gold story?16:38 - Should we redefine the definition of safe assets?19:45 - The Fed has to change26:08 - An overbearing uncertainty30:25 - Our thoughts on meme stocks35:30 - Not every innovations are good39:02 - How narratives impact how products are sold46:21 - Industry performance update49:39 - Alternative vs traditional assets01:00:43 - Every CTA is a short term trader01:05:59 - The power of seeing the connection between markets01:14:32 - What is up for next week?Copyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights...

Rob Carver is back from summer break for a conversation that moves between past and present through the lens of lived experience. Starting with the anniversary of Lehman's collapse, Rob and Niels unpack why strong performance often coexists with poor investor outcomes - and how timing, not strategy, remains the silent killer. They question the recent push into trend by asset management giants, weigh whether CTA underperformance marks a structural shift or a familiar cycle, and examine what the data can and can't tell us when conviction fades. If there's a theme this week, it's simple: knowing what works is not the same as using it well.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Rob on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps: 01:14 - What has been on our radar recently?12:09 - Industry performance update19:23 - Q1, John: What are your recommendations for adapting a continuous forecast-based position sizing for a cash-only portfolio?23:15 - Q2, Absolute: Is short/long symmetry optimal for a strategy in which the price of the traded instruments is measured in units (fiat currencies) that are inflated (devalued)?30:19 - Q3, Lin: Got any ideas for trading a crypto portfolio?32:04 - Why investors are losing money on 42% gain ETFs39:50 - The difference between percentage return and cash return43:24 - Debunking the persistent score card46:19 - How the world has changed for CTAsCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights...
