Hey guys,

I’m in Bangkok quite often and over the last 2 years I’ve noticed way more dealers on Sukhumvit Road, especially around Soi 11 and Nana Plaza. A lot of them are black/African guys or other migrants who aggressively offer coke.

I’m not buying anything (seriously, not interested), but I’m curious:

Do they actually sell real cocaine or is it mostly fake shit / crushed pills / detergent etc.?

How’s the quality for those who actually have something?

Or is it mostly a scam?

I remember mostly Thai dealers offering pills or weed in the past. This new wave of foreign guys pushing “coke” has only become really noticeable since around 2023/2024.

Anyone got recent experience or info? Thanks!

Hey everyone,

Looking for an honest rating and outside perspective on my portfolio. I'm based in Austria (UCITS-only, 27.5% capital gains tax), 18-year horizon, passive ETF strategy.

Portfolio allocation:

• iShares NASDAQ-100 (DE) — DE000A0F5UF5 — ~28%
• SPDR S&P US Technology Select — IE00BWBXM948 — ~24%
• Amundi NASDAQ-100 Swap — LU1681038243 — ~24%
• Vanguard S&P 500 Dist — IE00B3XXRP09 — ~17%
• iShares Core MSCI World Acc — IE00B4L5Y983 — ~6%
• iShares Core S&P 500 Acc — IE00B5BMR087 — <1%
• Amundi Core MSCI USA — IE000FSN19U2 — <1%

Currently DCA'ing into: iShares Core S&P 500 (Acc) + iShares NASDAQ-100 (DE).

On top of that, I have ~$10k ready to deploy as a lump sum — and I'm undecided where to put it.

What I'm aware of:

• Massive concentration in US + tech
• Significant overlap between the S&P 500 ETFs and the Nasdaq holdings
• Performance has been great, but that's exactly why the imbalance keeps growing

What I'd love feedback on:

• How would you rate this for an 18-year horizon?
• Would you consolidate the overlapping S&P 500 / USA positions?
• Where would you put the $10k — ex-US developed, EM, Europe, more US, something else?
• Or is "don't fight what works" the right call here?

Rip it apart 🙏
